It’s about that time for the NFL regular season to begin. In fact, it begins tomorrow. As always, I’m here to present my picks for this week. Feel free to leave your picks, as well
Thursday, Sep 4
Washington vs. NY Giants
This is an interesting one. I like Mario Manningham. He played for the Wolverines, but he’s been out and Manning has suffered for it. Manning has a lot to prove, and Washington went 3-5 in the pre-season. If Eli’s backup is still out, which they might just be, Washington has this one nailed.
Winner: Washington
Sunday, Sep 7
Cincinnati vs Baltimore
Winner: If Troy Smith is starting or if Troy Smith isn’t starting Baltimore is still going to lose. The former nut (OSU Buckeye) isn’t having as much success at starting in the NFL as his former Wolverine opponent, Miami Dolphin’s Chad Henne. So, I wonder what Troy’s busy doing with that Heisman? Maybe he’s using it as a paperweight!
Winner: Cincinnati
NY Jets vs Miami
With the improved offensive players, (Chad and Jake have great chemistry and play great together) including two solid Chads in the QB position I’m thinking Miami just might win this week! Here’s hoping after their hard work during the pre-season it can pay off during the reg. season.
Winner: Miami
Kansas City vs New England
I think that Tom Brady is going to be back. It’s crappy that Tom’s the only one who can make the plays, but thems the breaks. If he’s in its a Patriots win.
Winner: New England
Houston vs Pittsburgh
This is a tough one considering Pittsburgh actually lost to Buffalo in the pre-season. Otherwise, they seem to be doing okay and Houston is just doing so-so so far.
Winner: Pittsburgh
Jacksonville vs Tennessee
With Collier out fighting for his life, the Jags are either gonna be on the ball, playing for him with conviction or will be totally distracted. This is pure emotion on my part, but I’m giving it to them.
Winner: Jacksonville
Detroit vs Atlanta
Atlanta is sh!t this year, just like last year. Detroit isn’t playing like any Lions team I’ve seen in the past 10 years. They actually look like a team!
Winner: Detroit
Seattle vs Buffalo
It’s hard to give Buffalo a win in any game. Seattle seems a bit more prepared than the Bills. The Bills are a nice team, but just not very good at winning.
Winner: Seattle
Tampa Bay vs New Orleans
With Gustav messing with the lives of the NOLA players, I find it hard to say they’re going to win. Still, I’m a Saints fan. I just can’t say they’re going to lose. Maybe their struggles will make them play extra hard, just like they did after Katrina.
Winner: New Orleans
St. Louis vs Philadelphia
Neither team is particularly good and the Rams were beaten by the Ravens. Ouch.
Winner: Philadelphia
Dallas vs Cleveland
If Jessica Simpson is at the game, Tony Romo is doomed. Then again, Cleveland sucks worse than Miami did last year.
Winner: Dallas
Carolina vs San Diego
All my instincts as saying the Carolina just doesn’t have what it takes to take on the Chargers and actually win.
Winner: San Diego
Arizona vs San Francisco
Wow. Of all the games, this is the one I just really don’t care about. Both teams stink, but which one stinks more?
Winner: San Francisco
Chicago vs Indianapolis
Neither Chicago nor Indy have showed off anything impressive this season. This game is going to be close and even then, it’s anyone’s game.
Monday, Sep 8 Indianapolis
Minnesota vs Green Bay
This is a no brainer. I know that Brett Favre is gone. Green Bay sucked with and without him. Their transitional period is going to put them amongst the ranks of Arizona this year.
Winner: Minnesota
Denver vs Oakland
Both teams suck. Both teams are hated by me. I don’t know who to pick. I’ll just have to go with the team I hate the least.
Winner: Oakland
