Week One: Are You Ready for Some Football?

Alright, here we go. The home team is in caps. You don't get to make up your own spreads. The lines you see here are non-negotiable. Also, the Miami-Tennessee game has been postponed due to Hurricane Ivan--don't pick the winner here since the game won't be played this week. All that's necessary for you to do is list the team that you think will beat the spread in the comments section. If you want to add commentary feel free, but all you have to do is list the winner. Please consult FantasyTailgate if you need to brush up on your NFL knowledge. Here are my picks: PATRIOTS -3 1/2 over Colts, REDSKINS -2 over Bucs, SAINTS +2 over Seattle, Bengals +4 over JETS, BROWNS +3 over Ravens, BRONCOS -3 over Chiefs, BILLS -3 over Jaguars, NINERS +3 over Falcons, STEELERS -4 over Raiders, Lions -3 over BEARS, VIKINGS -4 1/2 over Cowboys, Chargers +4 1/2 over TEXANS, EAGLES -9 over Giants, Cardinals +11 over RAMS, Packers +3 over PANTHERS. If you get to this post after the Pats-Colts game, feel free to pick from the rest of the field. I'll announce the winner on Tuesday. Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted others, make your picks!

UPDATE: My mistake, the Titans-Dolphins game has been moved to this Saturday rather than next. Titans -3 over DOLPHINS. Adjust your picks accordingly, and if you haven't picked yet please share your selections on the comments section before kickoff on Saturday.

Nitwit? I just saved you a loss on your picks this week. You were picking New England and they didn't cover. I'm sure Mike Vanderjagt is consoling his teammates right now by saying, "Well guys, at least we covered."

who is to say i wouldnt have picked indy?
at 3.5 it was actually a safer bet

too tough a game

vanderjagt should be kicking peyton in the nads for taking a sack instead of throwing the ball away.

That Vanderjagt is a card. Says after the game that he knows the Colts are a better team than the Patriots.

Last night marked the 10th time that the Colts have not won in Foxboro and the third time in modern history that the Pats have kicked bootay on the Dolts.

And: what is not to love about Tom Brady. Unbelievable display.
