Some of our comments and observations about Week 1 included:
We both are sick and tired of the Vince Young love in Tennessee, but we have to admit that "God" has a way about him and seems to know how to win. Oakland and Tom Cable, not so much. We're looking forward to the first Chad Johnson-Terrell Owens outing in New England, because in Tom Brady, they will get to witness what a real quarterback looks like. I like Tampa over Cleveland only because Tampa isn't starting Jake Delhomme. We're still waiting for the big breakout season in Houston, which according to all the experts, should be coming along any day now. Jason couldn't go all the way and pick the Lions to beat the new and improved Mike Martz-era Bears, but I will. The horrible Bears offensive line combined with a monster defensive tackle (Ndamukong Suh) playing his first game for Detroit should spell a long day for Bears QB Jay Cutler. We completely outthunk ourselves picking the Steelers minus Big Ben to beat the Falcons. We were so busy stepping over the trap of taking Atlanta to beat Dennis Dixon and the Steel Curtain that we took Pitt and walked right into a potential sinkhole. I like Buffalo at home over Miami because the Bills have a new toy in RB C.J. Spiller, and I think they're going to play with him early and often. We think Arizona should cover 3.5 on a rookie QB (Sam Bradford) starting for a really bad team (St. Louis Rams). I do like San Francisco to win the NFC West, but I'll step on a limb and take the Seattle Seahawks in their home opener, since it will be one of the few games that QB Matt Hasselbeck will be able to take the field. We both think that the one team that the New York Jets wouldn't want to piss off for the season opener would be the Baltimore Ravens, and Ray Lewis is very pissed off. That's bad news for QB Mark Sanchez and the rest of that pop gun offense. And we both got a bad vibe from the Chargers opening at a tough venue in Kansas City at 9:15P local time. It feels like one of those unusual situations where a team plays way above their heads due to the charged atmosphere. Tack on San Diego missing their best receiver and starting an unproven running back, and we'll go with the Chefs to cook up an upset.
Don't forget that you hate, hate, HATE Sam Bradford so much that, this week, there is a Sam Bradford Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThe Sam Bradford Challenge:
Though it's extremely unlikely, if Bradford throws more than 3 touchdowns (to his own team) this week, Dre has to immediately claim him for his fantasy team. Should have expanded the challenge to make him start him next week, too. But just wasting a roster spot will be punsishment enough.
