This is one of the few games that can actually be judged by the pre-season. The Hawks have a whole new D that can swarm a QB faster then Big Ben can make moves on a Casino Employee. Seattle Covers thanks to their Defense... True Pick: Seattle by 14 <br /><br />GREEN BAY over Chicago -3.5: Green Bay is a Superbowl contender for years of progression, chicago is a playoff team thanks to their silly nanny flipping QB. Green Bay's D is young and fast, Chicago's D is old and fading. Green Bay Covers. True Pick : Green Bay by 6 <br /><br />NEW ENGLAND over Buffalo -11: Don't ask me to pick for the Pat's ever. They are the one team I dream about working for at minimum wage. I'll read about my pats before my wedding before I write my vows. Pats Cover... True pick: pats by 1,000,000 <br /><br />OAKLAND over San Diego +9.5: poor Raiders. Any team that thinks they can bounce back on a season opener should not face the best defensive back (Cromartie) and a comeback player with a tostitos size chip on his shoulder (Merriman). I expect this game to get blacked out the the national game by half way through the third quarter when Al Wilson himself will have to be playing for his injured players. San Diego covers... True pick: San Diego by 17Andy Hansonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037687028715936005.post-4369001133233053912009-09-12T23:58:49.187-04:002009-09-12T23:58:49.187-04:00Jacksonville over INDIANAPOLIS +7: This again is a...Jacksonville over INDIANAPOLIS +7: This again is a tough prediction. While the Colts have had a superior team the last decade, they still have not been able to get the Jags number. Two main points come into this game, Peyton doesn't have Marvin, and Jack Del Rio always starts hot. Jags cover... True pick Colts by 2 <br /><br />NEW ORLEANS over Detroit -13: The Lions should pay for the carpel tunnel that people will get by writing off their lousy team. New Orleans covers... True pick: Saints by 24 TAMPA BAY over Dallas +6: Dallas lost Defensive leader Roy Williams. Dallas has a new stadium but isn't the home team. Dallas has a healthy Felix Jones... Dallas has a running back named Felix??? Dallas' D is too good to have a QB who just got off the bench beat them, especially when a young man named Ware is on their team. Dallas covers... True pick: Dallas by 9 <br /><br />ARIZONA over San Francisco -6.5: This is a good pick, Arizona should have a hangover with losing the super bowl, and the 49ers should have a hangover with a new coach. I'll give this game to the Cards at home. With this game will be a home crowd packed with resonating bandwagon fans who can be let down the rest of the season. I still can not wait to see Lienart play... True pick: Cards by 10 <br /><br />Washington over NY GIANTS +6.5: With the G-men at home its hard to lose. The Skins forget that they decided to pay 100 million to a player who will help them 0 with passing turnovers and passing yards. They will however have fewer rush yards, which is great for a division that has such fine rushers as... never mind. Giants cover, sorry skins. True pick... Giants by 8Andy Hansonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037687028715936005.post-89122250782956436792009-09-12T23:58:09.623-04:002009-09-12T23:58:09.623-04:00First Game: Pitt Vs Tenn.

When I saw that Big Ben had helped his team win in overtime I was mentally destroyed. <br /><br />Miami over Atlanta(+4): Miami will not only cover the spread but actually win the game. Both these teams will have a hangover this season, but Miami has a more physically impressive team. ps. fuck the dolphins. True pick: Dolphins by 10<br /><br />Baltimore over KC (+13): Baltimore. Baltimore has an AFC championship returning team, Kansas City has the Royals. If the Ravens can't warm up on this sub-par team with a multi-touchdown victory, then they can write off losing in one of the first rounds of the playoffs... again... True pick: Ravens by 15<br /><br />Carolina over Philadelphia (+2.5) The Eagles have a team charged and ready to go, the Panthers have Julius Peppers crying about not being in New England. If the Eagles can't capitalize on Jake D's aging arm and McNabb trying to prove that he can keep his job over Vick, then they should lay down the rest of the season. My true pick, Eagles win by 10. <br /><br />Denver over CINCINNATI +4: The Bengals may have given me more faith due to hard knocks, but I believe this spread is a wash. The Bengals will have a team with healthy players who all expected improvement instead of a step back last season; while Denver watched their team get its two best players bent over a sink this off season as if they were Ed Norton in American History X. True pick... Bengals win by 14 <br /><br />CLEVELAND over Minnesota +4: Mangini is coaching the Browns... That means the browns will play better this season then last, but they are facing a division winning team in the Vikings. Fav-ray should thank his lucky stars that he is playing a secondary that could not start for the special olympics. Vikings cover... True pick: Vikings by 7 <br /><br />HOUSTON over Jets -4.5: Even though this game will have a lower Neilson score then dancing with the stars "back from Iraq veterans" season, this game is the best prediction given. The Jets have a new defensive genius who will blitz heavy, even though they have a QB who has Hershey stains when he realizes the size of NFL linebackers. Jets cover... True prediction Jets by 6Andy Hansonnoreply@blogger.com
