Regular Season Week 1

If you are a first time reader, welcome! I started this blog last year after a number of people asked me for my opinion on football and what teams they should root for… I’m back this year for another season!!!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know about you but I think that was the longest offseason ever. The Lockout was 136 days of pure agony and torture. So glad that’s over. I personally watched more preseason football this year than I ever have in all my football watching life. I’m just so glad it’s back.

I can’t even begin to fill you in on all the signings and trades that went on in the offseason.  We’ll just have to work through them during this season. I think the biggest news going into this season is BRETT FAVRE IS STILL RETIRED! Thank God. But really, I guess I’ll have to find someone else to pick on…

Before going into week one I would just like to go back to February of last year and congratulate the Green Bay Packers for thumping the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Superbowl! Way to go boys!

WEEK 1!

New Orleans @ Green Bay  (Thursday 8:30pm NBC)

This game is going to kick off the regular season and I’m going to pick the Packers to win this one.

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore (Sunday 1:00pm CBS)

As much as I don’t like the Steelers I’m pretty sure they are going to upset the Ravens at their home opener. I hope I’m wrong.

Atlanta @ Chicago (Sunday 1:00pm FOX)

I’m picking Atlanta.

Cincinnati @ Cleveland  (Sunday 1:00pm CBS)

I’m going with Cleveland.

Indianapolis @ Houston (Sunday 1:00pm CBS)

With Peyton not playing at all Sunday I don’t think Kerry has what it takes to lead the football team to victory. I really, really, really hope I’m wrong. But I don’t think that the Colts are going to win an awful lot without # 18.

Tennessee @ Jacksonville (Sunday 1:00pm CBS)

Well the Titans should do better without Kerry but I don’t think they will beat the Jags at their home opener.

Buffalo @ Kansas City (Sunday 1:00pm CBS)

Heh. Yeah I would love to pick Buffalo. But It’s Buffalo… So I’ll pick KC

Philadelphia @ Saint Louis (Sunday 1:00pm FOX)

I loathe the Eagles and would love for the Rams to win their home opener. I don’t believe the hype of the “dream team”. But I don’t think the Rams will win… again I hope I’m wrong.

Detroit @ Tampa Bay (Sunday 1:00pm FOX)

Call me crazy but I’m going with Detroit with the upset.

Carolina @ Arizona (Sunday 4:15pm FOX)

This may be Carolina’s day for a win. I’ll pick them this time to show some Carolina support.

Minnesota @ San Diego  (Sunday 4:15pm FOX)

I love McNabb but I don’t think the Vikings will beat the Chargers at home.

Seattle @ San Francisco (Sunday 4:15pm FOX)

I’m going with the birds.

New York Giants @ Washington (Sunday 4:15pm FOX)

Obviously I’m going with the GMEN!

Dallas @ New York Jets (Sunday 8:20pm NBC)

I like the Jets in this one. PS I hate the Cowboys.

New England @ Miami (Monday 7:00pm ESPN)

Just thinking about a New England win makes me nauseous, but I don’t think that Miami is going to win their opener. I so hope I’m wrong. (I hope I’m wrong a lot you will see)

Oakland @ Denver (Monday 10:15pm ESPN)

I’m going with Oakland because the Bronco’s don’t have Timmy leading them to victory.

And there are my picks for Week 1! Let’s hope for a great season. Hope you enjoyed reading this because I sure did enjoy writing it! LETS GO GMEN and COLTS! PS. Pray for Peyton.
