It’s everyone’s favorite time of year. Gambling season. As a special gift to all of you, I’m going to post my picks for the week on this very site each and every week. That’s right, the self proclaimed greateast handicapper on Eastview Dr is going to open up his vault of football wisdom and allow you to get rich too. Please send check or money order for 25% of all winnings to my home address.
Miami +1 over the Steelers. Charlie Batch, Willie Parker, Santonio Holmes. Your 2006 Super Bowl Champions!!!
Atlanta +5 over the Panthers. The Panthers win this one at home, but with 89 banged up, it’ll be close.
Tampa -3 over B-more. Baltimore hasn’t fielded an offense since they were in Cleveland. No way this unit moves it on the Bucs.
New England -9 over Buffalo. Willis McGahee runs for 300 yards and Lee Evans catches 20 balls (a guy can dream, can’t he?) but the Bills find a way to lose. Big.
Kansas City -2 over Cincy. Cincinnattica’s run defense vs Grandmama at Arrowhead? Gotta go with the Chefs.
Denver -3.5 over St. Louis. To be honest, I have no idea on this one. On paper it’s not even close.
Cleveland -3 over New Orleans. Two crappy teams in a game no one cares about.
Tennessee -2.5 over NYJ. Two more crappy teams. Thanks to the scheduling department for starting the season out with a bang. The Kerry Collins led Titans get it done at home. At least I think. Ah, who the hell cares???
Philly -5.5 over Houston. Note to Mr. Lundy: You aren’t at Virginia, and those aren’t the Tarheels.
Seattle -6 over Detroit. Who cares if the Seahawks have no receivers? I could catch passes against the Lions.
Chicago -3.5 over Green Bay. It’s quite possible Nathan Vasher will finish this game tied for the team lead in receptions. Think about it.
Dallas +2 over Jacksonville. Can’t help but think that Dallas will be a lot better than people think. TO gives them 16 good games, and a playoff run.
Arizona -9 over San Francisco. The Cards will score a lot of points this year, but in all likelihood will give up a lot. Not this weekend.
Indy -3.5 over NYG. No one beats Peyton in September. No one.
Washington -4.5 over Minnesota. The Skins can’t be as bad as they’ve looked can they?
San Diego -3 over Oakland. Football Jesus vs. Aaron Brooks. Put the farm on it.
This week’s Gold Bullet Locks of the Week: Seattle and Chicago.
Pithy yet witty; a bit contrived yet somehow original…I like it!!
BTW, Steve Smith is 89, if that’s who you’re referring to as “Banged up”.
