NFL Week 1
In keeping with my goal of publicly proving why I should not bet football here are my picks for week 1:
Miami -3 @ Buffalo I normally shy away from AFC East division games, but the Bills just suck. The one thing that they did moderately well in recent years - rush the passer - they will be worse this year. Miami needs a strong start in what should be a 3-way race. SF -3 @ Seattle Straight out coaching pick. Mike Singletary vs Pete Carroll. Pete the poodle proved once he's out of his league in the NFL. bad judge of talent (that job's too easy at USC). SF is a real playoff contender but they have a tough start to the schedule and need to get off to a good start. SUICIDE POOL: Tennessee at home vs Oakland This is not a pick against the Raiders who I think will be a much improved team. I just think a Jeff Fisher coached team in a home opener is a good suicide pick. Raiders could be a factor in the AFC this year but they're not winning on the road vs a better coach with a top 5 O-line. I don't pick against the Bills here because I hate picking road teams in suicide pools.
