    Hello I am back once again for my yearly display of futility
    and embarasment -- as some of you know I put my balls on the line
    predicting games against the spread -- I pick 3 and keep yearly stats
    so.....

    HERE WE GO
    THE LOCK
    GMEN -4 VS REDSKINS
    Honarable Mention
    Lions -3 vs. Falcons
    For the Parlay
    Jaguars -3 vs. Titans

    the slate is clean -- as always fellow posters are more than welcome with picks of their own

    picks are early -- heading to Miami tomorrow for the debut of BRETT THE JET

    I liked NYG tonight, but it's too late for that obviously...

    Buffalo -1 over Seattle

    Buffalo is an up-and-coming team in the AFC with Marshawn Lynch at runningback complementing a pretty good defense. Seattle is flying all the way across the country with a completely banged up wide receiving corps. Matt Hasselbeck is a very good quarterback, but he has no weapons to throw to, and the Seahawks are not as good as advertised, especially right now.

    Cincinatti -1.5 over Baltimore

    Cincinatti is a road favorite, but Baltimore is starting a rookie quarterback and their offense is simply atrocious. Chad Johnson might not be able to play all season, but he's in now, and Chris Perry should be an upgrade at runningback over Rudi Johnson as long as he's healthy. The Bengals have fallen out of favor, so they represent decent value, while Baltimore is simply awful.

    New York Jets -3 over Miami

    Call me a homer if you want, but I'm not buying Miami. They won 1 game last season, and their team is no better than it was last season. I've seen what Chad Pennington does without a lot of talent around him. It isn't that pretty. The Jets really want this game with New England and San Diego next on the schedule, and Miami simply is not a good team. I hate going against a home underdog week one in a rivalry, but I think the Jets can win 10-11 games while Miami will win 3-5. I'll give the 3.

    Of course I didn't take the Bears after losing the first 2 because I was gun shy. DOH!
