With half a handful of posts in August lets hope September goes a little better. NFL starts Thursday and with NFL comes betting. Spreads are for experts, I am no expert.
Min @ NO - I'm taking the Saints, they won the playoff game last year and they're at home. The only way I can see things working out for Minny this year is if Petterson carries this team.
Cle @ TB - Both teams were bad last year, Holmgren is running the show in Cleavland. That`s enough for me, I`ll take the Browns on the road.
Mia @ Buf - I`ll take the fish. Things can change quickly in the NFL but not quickly enough for Bills fans.
Cin @ NE - Part of me wonders if Brady two years removed from knee surgery, Welker back, a few new weapons at TE and Randy Moss in a contract year means the Patriots offense goes all 2007. I`ll take the Pats.
Ind @ Hou - I never bet against Indy, especially in the regular season.
Den @ Jac - I don`t know but you can`t pick all road teams so I`ll take the Jags.
Atl @ Pit - The Steelers are in good shape if they go 2-2 without Big Ben. Two of their next three games are against the Ravens and Titans. This is a BIG week 1 game for the Steelers. I`ll take them and you can mark it down as my push-up lock of the week*.
Oak @ Ten - On the ESPN Eliminator challenge the Titans are the week 1 favorites, I can`t disagree (although I never pick the most popular choice in these drafts)
Car @ NYG - I`ll take the Giants because they`re at home, no more thought than that.
DET @ CHI - I think this is the year the Lions climb out of the basement in the NFC north, the team that replaces them would probably be the Bears.
Ari @ Stl - Here`s my upset pick of the week. Bradford has a nice debut, Steven Jackson has a huge day while everyone in Ari wonders if letting go of Leinart was such a good idea.
GB @ Phi - Lots of analysts are selling GB as an elite team this year, I`m buying.
SF @ SEA - I`m picking way too many road teams but SF has a shitty offense while SEA has a shitty offense AND a shitty defense + a new coach and a new system.
Dal @ Was - America`s teams in the Sunday nighter. Take the road team again.
Bal @ NYJ - As soon as Revis signed the Jets became the favorite here.
SD @ KC - How the fuck did KC get an opening week Monday night game at home? SD never starts out well and has all kinds of contract issues. Lets take the Chefs as my second upset pick.
* Push up lock of the week is something my friends and I do. Everybody picks their lock of the week, has to be in a tight game. If you lose that game you have to do 10 push ups in the bar in front of everyone while your friends ridicule you. Feel free to leave your locks in th comment section.
