I'm rooting for Dallas Wednesday night. I love to hate the Giants, those fuckers. Ugh.
I really like the Harbaugh brothers, I think they are a class act. I was just reading someone predict that one of them gets Coach of the year.
I'm a little surprised to see how little you think of NO, I think they are a very competitive team. I don't know much about the Titans. I'm self involved in that I only pay close attention to my division.
I'm looking forward to Jason's first sack. I'm going to flex & rawr too!
You didn't mention the Vikings at all. Surely you have SOMETHING positive to say?[/i][/size]
There's no doubt that football season is the most exciting of all the pro sports regular seasons. With only 16 games, there really is very little margin for error.
I'm just shooting from the hip with my picks. I've read a little and looked at some injury reports.
As for the Saints, they've had 3 really nice seasons in a row. The coach that was going to fill in for Sean Peyton (suspended for the year), has ALSO been suspended (first 6 games of the season). They're also implementing a new defense this year. They won't be the blitzing, ball-hawking 'D' they've been known as anymore. This is why I believe they get off to some sort of 1-5 or so start, and limp to the finish line.
If I had something positive to say about the Vikes, I would. There's little to be hopeful about. Tough division, and very few talent upgrades in the off-season. People here are saying if they win 6 games, it'll be a tremendous year. Yipee!
