The Sunday Speculator, Week 1

Bleacher ReportSep 7, 2008

…so I’ll be picking every game on the NFL slate, mostly just because, well, I want to keep up with this whole blogging thing. I’ll be using the odds Bill Simmons uses each week and picking both straight up and against the spread.

Do not use my picks for any purpose other than amusement. I guarantee they will be more amusing than they will be useful.

Washington Redskins (+4) at New York Giants

It’s not like Jerry Greene’s old saw about the E.R. Giants wasn’t true before; it just used to stand for East Rutherford. Washington should have an offense this year; then again, wasn’t that the point of having Al Saunders in years past? Still, the Super Bowl bounce counts for something.

Giants 27, Redskins 21.

Atlanta Falcons (+3) at Detroit Lions

Lions 31, Falcons 7.

Seattle Seahawks (+1) at Buffalo Bills

Seahawks 28, Bills 24.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) at Tennessee Titans

Jaguars 20, Titans 14.

New York Jets (-3) at Miami Dolphins

Jets 30, Dolphins 20.

Kansas City Chiefs (+16.5) at New England Patriots

Patriots 41, Chiefs 10.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) at New Orleans Saints
