The Sunday Speculator, Week 1
โฆso Iโll be picking every game on the NFL slate, mostly just because, well, I want to keep up with this whole blogging thing. Iโll 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
Itโs not like Jerry Greeneโs old saw about the E.R. Giants wasnโt true before; it just used to stand for East Rutherford. Washington should have an offense this year; then again, wasnโt that the point of having Al Saunders in years past? Still, the Super Bowl bounce counts for something.
