I couldn’t be happier to write these four words: The NFL is back. That means it is time to bust out our NFL picks and predictions for Week 1 of the 2014-15 regular season.

More from Arizona Cardinals

Each and every week, we will put together our list of picks for the upcoming slate of games right here on FanSided.com.

For the opening week of the season, the FanSided panel unanimously agreed on seven of the 16 games.

On five occasions, there was a lone wolf.

How will the FanSided editorial team do in Week 1?

Here are our predictions for the opening week of the regular season:

NOTE: Panel includes VP of content Patrick Allen, Editor-in-Chief Josh Sanchez, Editors Mike Dyce, Josh Hill and Jack Jorgensen
