I am Ready for Some Football
And now, the part of the show that 99% of you probably don't read, the NFL picks. I'll update the sidebar at some point this weekend. (Note, Lucas' picks are in the comments of yesterday's post)
IND at NE: The Patriots didn't look too good this preseason, but everyone stayed healthy. Belichick owns Peyton Manning in New England, but in under the artificial lights of the dome it'll be much closer. Fortunately, the awful strains of Toby Keith will drown out Manning's wacky audibles. NE
AZ at STL: As much as I think the Rams will just tank this year, there's just no reason I can come up with for the Cardinals to beat them in the TWA/American Dome. STL
BAL at CLE: Jamal Lewis gets his first chance to break his own individual rushing record. BAL
CIN at NYJ: The Jets may give New England a run for their money this year, even if Curtis Martin needs to one of those walkers with the tennis balls on it. NYJ
DET at CHI: Detroit will play a lot of those wild games this year where they score 35 and give up 38. Just not against the Bears. DET
JAX at BUF: Travis Henry will be rushing for his life, but the Jags are just better. JAX
OAK at PIT: Oakland's big offseason pickups were 2 old guys, Ted Washington and Warren Sapp. I guess they're afraid Jerry Rice will retire soon. PIT
SD at HOU: San Diego had a typically pathetic offseason to go along with their typically pathetic regular seasons. HOU
SEA at NO: The Saints aren't due to choke, nor the Seahawks due to win a road game, for another couple of months. NO
TB at WAS: Can Joe Gibbs play offensive line? Can Joe Gibbs throw the ball? Can Joe Gibbs cover a wide receiver? Well, perhaps he can better than the guys he's got in there. But Tampa is taking a dive this year. WAS
TEN at MIA: The first in a series of "laugh at the Dolphins' misfortunes" games. Somewhere, Ricky is smiling and toking. TEN
ATL at SF: I'm not sold on the Falcons yet, but the Niners are in the proverbial "rebuilding year". ATL
DAL at MIN: I dislike Parcells and his pants. And I watched Eddie George run in the preseason and he's d-u-n done. MIN
NYG at PHI: The over/under on Warner fumbles in this game is 3. The over/under on angry phone calls by Brenda to the New York media after the game is 2. PHI
KC at DEN: KC still can't play defense, and they still have Eddie Kennison as their #1 wide receiver. Denver in a nailbiter. DEN
GB at CAR: The Panthers won't feel the heat of being a defending Super Bowl team for another couple of weeks. CAR

Or is it that Kellen Winslow II is really just a misunderstood gentle giant?
