Introducing Two Fools and Their Money
This football season, our highly-respected Best Bets feature (Hint: Donโt ever start betting in Week 16) will be replaced by a column we are going to call A fool and his money, where two compulsive, online gamblers will go head-to-head, picking the NFL spreads for the entire regular season.
These two moderately delusional individuals will include analysis on each game to help you understand the thought process behind their decisionsโincluding live transcripts of the voices in their headโand trash talk each otherโs weekly picks and overall record.
As a teaser for the upcoming column on Week 1 and an introduction to Nick and Chadam, here are their picks for tonightโs game.

Oh, and donโt worry. Theyโve already turned in their win totals to me. There will be no cheating based upon the results of the game tonight.
"GIANTS (-4) over Redskins: Talk about a lack of respect for the defending champs. I am in the camp that believes in the year-after curse for Super Bowl champs (The Steelers in 2006 are a good example) unless they prove otherwise.
That defense is a shadow of last yearโs squad, and I can see Plax not trying as hard to stay on the field for all 16 games this year. That being said, Jason Campbell looked awful this preseason, and I think heโs another year from breaking out.
The Giantโs offensive cogs havenโt played enough games yet to be injured (Iโm looking at you, Brandon Jacobs), so I think theyโll put enough points on the board to stay comfortably ahead the entire game.
"
Look for Nick and Chadamโs picks for overall team records and the remaining Week One picks later this weekend.
