I learned a valuable that should have been obvious. There are no Levin Loves or Locks in preseason. Also, similar to never taking a double digit favorite that is on the road on MNF, SNF, TNF (Thursday night football). I should probably not take away favorites. Rough week to start out: I went 5-9.
Bills @ Vikings
Vikings get there home opener. The Bills failed on their home opener last week. It seems like bad teams have the most heart, which means they do well in the preseason (aka the Lions), except for the Dolphins (it’s just ugly all the time).
Pick: Vikings -2.5
Seahawks @ Broncos
Speaking of home openers, how crazy are the fans going to be to see Peyton? (hint it’ll probably be two steps below Tebowmania and one step below Linsanity-this reaction will be based off of normal fervor of a preseason game). Like this game a lot.
Pick: Broncos Pick’em
Jaguars @ Saints
Even though it is preseason, Saints’ fans will need to forget about the turmoil of the off-season. Drew Brees will make sure that it happens for at least the first half.
Pick: First half Saints (I’ll post this one when it comes out)
Chiefs @ Rams
Fisher will catch his first win as the Rams head coach.
Pick: Rams +1
Redskins @ Bears
Shanahan is 47-22, while Lovie Smith is 16-18. Have to take
Pick: Redskins +1.5
Colts @ Steelers
If I didn’t say that I wasn’t making any preseason picks a love, then this would be a love pick. This game is televised, so no way 16-6 (during the preseason) Tomlin starts on 0-2 on the national stage.
Pick: Steelers -4
Eagles @ Patriots
Read above. Switch Tomlin to Belichick and make that a 29-22 record.
Pick: Patriots Pick’em
