Jets -1 over the Pats -- Pats continue to suffer karmic retribution for cheating. Favre defies haters, stepping up this weekend where the Buckeyes failed miserably.
Titans +1.5 over the Bengals -- The Bengals are unraveling. We’re shocked that they are favored to win this game. Folks who pay too much attention to fantasy football are so taken with Carson Palmer and his star receivers that they are likely to overlook important things about real football. The Titans have no fantasy football stars, but should crush in this real football game. It might be that folks caught up in fantasy have driven this line away from reality.
Vikings +2 over the Colts -- Over 90% of the action is on the Colts here. We think these Colts backers are stuck in the past. The Colts are on the downswing, and the Vikings on the up. The biggest factor for us here is that Colts hall of fame center Jeff Saturday is hurt. We think that folks underestimate what a center like Saturday can do for a team. We also think that folks will tend to believe that the Colts can’t start the season 0-2. But of course, they can.
Steelers -6 over the Browns -- A must-win game for the Browns that they just can’t win. The success of any organization starts at the top. This principle could not be more clearly illustrated than by the contrasting examples of Randy Lerner’s Browns and the Rooney family’s Steelers. Aside from the off-season additions to the defensive line, nearly everything we’ve seen from our Browns since last December has disturbed us deeply. The Browns are moving backwards. There is nothing that suggests to us that they can play with a Steelers team that they couldn’t play with even when they appeared to be making progress. We hate what we’ve seen from our Browns, and hope that another shellacking by the Steelers will help make what we hate go away.
We'll be back later this week to pick up the pieces. So ... many ... pieces.

Now I don't know much about wagering, but I would pounce on whatever points the Chargers are giving next week. They'll be angry and the Jets can't count/tackle.
I thought I'd help out with your "picking up the pieces" effort. It's pretty clear why you biffed on the brownies/steelers pick: misplaced hatred and failure to persist in your folly. So you got burned by showing hometown love and picking the buckeyes despite all the hatred they've been garnering of late. But your gut feeling - you should hate on the haters - was the right one. The brownies were feeling hate from everyone before the game, right? But instead of hating on the haters and indulging your hometown love, you became a hater yourself and picked the steelers. Not hard to see where you went wrong with this one, frownies.
FYI The Browns still looked awful. Crennel is a junk coach and DA should be done sooner than later.
no argument here about how bad the browns looked - i was in the stadium. but 6 points was too many to give, especially to a bunch of haters. god sent really bad weather to underscore that point, allowing the brownies to cover.
quinn for president (or at least starting quarterback).
Down goes Tavaris!!! Down goes Tavaris!!!
