Week 1: Pickin On The NFL

Week 1 of the NFL season is here...thank you baby Jesus. I don't officially gamble anymore, except on fantasy football leagues and office pools. My office pool is worth $250 bucks this week...I hope this is the golden ticket. For the record, I filled this out Tuesday, so my PIT pick was not from cheating.

TEN @ PIT -6 I was kind of thinking about a possible upset here, and then I realized Kerry Collins is still the QB of the Titans. PIT 20 TEN 17

MIA @ ATL –4 I like this Atlanta team and I don’t like Parcells…ATL 27 MIA 20

PHI @ CAR +2 The Panthers will be pissed being a home dog in their opening game, I hope they take it out on Mcnabb’s ass. CAR 23 PHI 21

DAL @ TB +6 This Bucs team is in rebuilding mode and they are in for a llooonnnggg season. DAL 31 TB 10

NYJ @ HOU-5.5 The Jets may surprise some folks this year, but I can’t pick a team starting a rookie QB in his first game. HOU 24 NYJ 20

DEN @ CIN-4 I think Denver/Orton/Marshall will end up being fine…just not this week. CIN 21 DEN 16

WAS @ NYG-6.5 Vinny made his best move ever picking up Andre Woodson to spill the beans on the G-Men, just not sure it’s enough. NYG 23 WAS 20

CHI @ GB-3.5 This will be a great Sunday night game that could go either way but I’m so enamored with Aaron Rogers I will probably pick GB to win every week. GB 27 CHI 19

KC @ BAL-13 This game or the Dallas game is the pick you should use if you’re in one of those survivor office pools. BAL 24 KC 12

JAC @ IND-7 Jack Del Rio…this is your last rodeo. But when you hitched your wagon to David Garrard…it was your destiny. IND 28 JAC 14

DET @ NO-13 Another survivor option and anyone who owns Drew Brees has a fantasy hard on for this game. NO 38 DET 13

MIN @ CLE+4 Who’s going to QB this game for the Browns? Quinn, Anderson, Mangini? MIN 23 CLE 13

SF @ ARI-6.5 My upset special of the week, former Terp Shaun Hill leads the 49er’s to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. SF 27 ARI 21

STL @ SEA-8.5 I couldn’t care less about this game or this division. SEA 20 STL 13

BUF @ NE -10.5 Turk Shonert says Jauron was on his back to “simplify” the offense. Simplify = Suctify. NE 30 BUF 10

SD @ OAK+9.5 I think Al Davis might just crumble into a heap of dust in the owner’s box this season. SD 28 OAK 14

Cheers and Hail
