It's time to change the batteries in the remote,
dust off the television screen and load up on
carbs. It's time to bet on NFL football!
I've been waiting all offseason for this moment.
It's a time where I take center stage and throw
out the picks that will become legendary and make
you some serious coin. Now, my system for deriving
at these picks is not scientific, nor is it exact.
But, I can tell you that I watch every game every
week and have a tremendous feel for each team
and the league as a whole. Let's stop wasting
time and get to the picks.
Week 1
Dal @ Jac (-1.5)
Jacksonville is one of those teams deemed to have
overachieved last season. With 12 wins in 2005,
very few pundits expect them to do better in 2006.
However, they know this and will be playing with
a chip on their shoulders the entire season. Byron
Leftwich is obsessed with wanting to be taken
seriously as a top flight quarterback. Look for
the Jags to play physical and extremely well defensively.
On the other side, Dallas' kicking game is a major
question mark with Mike Vanderjagt banged up.
Throw in a volatile Terrell Owens and a more surly
than usual Bill Parcells and you've got the makings
of an implosion right off the bat. I also don't
like the Cowboys' running game. I think it'll
struggle against the tough Jags defense. And makle
no mistake about it- Dallas will miss the leadership
of Larry Allen on the offensive line.
Week 1 Free Pick: Take
Jacksonville on the money line and laying the
points.
NYJ @ Tenn (-2.5)
This spread should really be higher than this.
Consider that the Titans had the youngest defense
in the league last season. Their defenders are
a year older and wiser- a dangerous thought when
you consider how many tight losses they racked
up while lacking experience. Kerry Collins was
brought in last minute to take over as starting
quarterback as Billy Volek has done nothing but
bitch. But, look for Collins to rely on his veteran
savvy and get the offense moving. We're also looking
for Lendale White to begin his rookie campaign
on the right foot.

Meanwhile, the Jets lost
their pro bowl center and have two rookie starters
on the offensive line. This does not bode well
for the fragile Chad Pennington at quarterback.
New York also lost their top sack guy in John
Abraham. With no Curtis Martin and a rookie head
coach, look for Jeff Fisher and his staff to have
the Titans better prepared.
Week 1 Free Pick: Take
Tennessee on the money line and laying the points.
Seattle (-7) @ Detroit
Are you kidding me? Coaches driving around naked?
Wow, things are already more interesting in Detroit
than last year! That said, don't look for a shocker
here. Seattle is just as potent and well-oiled
as they were last season. The Seahawks actually
upgraded several positions in the offseason except
for the offensive line. Look for Shaun Alexander
to begin the touchdown parade early on.
While Detroit doesn't have that defeatist attitude
that they did in 2005, they will be hard pressed
to match the intensity and purpose that Seattle
will be playing with. Roy Williams could make
this one interesting, but we just don't see John
Kitna outdueling his former understudy Matt Hasselbeck.
Week 1 Free Pick: Take
Seattle laying the points.
