All right, so there is a lot going on to talk about in college football (mainly the pending realignment that I covered at the end of last season), but the NFL season starts tonight. So I’ll try to knock one out today and one tomorrow for the college boys.
Thank goodness the lockout is over, but honestly, it’s a vicious cycle and we’ll be right back where we started at the end of this CBA. I hope the owners and players understand that it’s pretty fucking annoying to listen to rich people complain about more money. The only thing I feel the players need to be concerned about is their retirement benefits and health care. These guys kill themselves for our entertainment; they should be able to live comfortably for their remaining years.
On to the season predictions:
AFC East: Patriots, Jets, Bills, Dolphins
AFC North: Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Bengals
AFC South: Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Titans
AFC West: Chargers, Broncos, Raiders, Chiefs
Jets over Chargers, Ravens over Texans, Steelers over Jets, Patriots over Ravens, Patriots over Steelers
NFC East: Eagles, Giants, Redskins, Cowboys
NFC North: Packers, Lions, Bears, Vikings
NFC South: Falcons, Saints, Buccaneers, Panthers
NFC West: 49ers, Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks
Giants over 49ers, Falcons over Saints, Packers over Giants, Eagles over Falcons, Packers over Eagles
Super Bowl: Patriots over Packers
That’s right, I’m picking the Patriots. Ochocinco gets his ring and retires (only to return a year later to embarrass himself).
This season, to stretch my gambling chops and one day be able to make money on my skills, I’m picking against the spread. Let’s hope this doesn’t develop into an addiction.
Packers (-4.5) over Saints
Falcons (-2.5) over Bears
Bills (+6.5) over Chiefs
Browns (-4.5) over Bengals
Lions (+3.5) over Buccaneers
Titans (+3.5) over Jaguars
Texans (-2.5) over Colts
Eagles (-5.5) over Rams
Steelers (+2.5) over Ravens
Vikings (+8.5) over Chargers
Redskins (+3.5) over Giants
Cardinals (-5.5) over Panthers
49ers (-5.5) over Seahawks
Jets (-4.5) over Cowboys
Patriots (-5.5) over Dolphins
Broncos (-0.5) over Raiders
