Nowhere But Down From Here

In 20+ years of doing this, I can never remember a season where both Dre and I got off to 12-4 starts. In the world of the "experts" who pick the games, a .500 win percentage is the gold standard picking ATS. Week 2 should be extremely interesting.

Monday Night Recap

• Ravens 10, Jets 9 - Both winners. The forums I scanned were full of whining about what a boring game this was. I completely beg to differ. This was perhaps the best defenses in the league kicking the shit out of each other in a war of attrition for 60 minutes. The Jets wont be a legitimate contender until they do something about the QB position. Sanchez is a fraud, plain and simple. I remember all the stories about his meteoric rise up the draft board last year having more to do with his marketability rather than his playing ability. That is a recipe for disaster at the most important position on the field. Any games the Jets win this season will be in spite of their offense. As for the Ravens, it was pretty much what I expected. They wanted to send a message, and they did, winning with the real hard knocks and overcoming three turnovers. Great game. Shut up whiners.

• Chiefs 21, Chargers 14 - Both winners. What a way to end a great week of picking these games, having a nice little upset pick come home for us. The Chiefs will win much the same way as the Jets, in spite of their quarterback, this season. The Chargers never really seemed to get it going, but this is still a top-half team in the league. They'll be OK.

Onward to Week 2!
