first nfl posting this year. can't believe i'm making some of these plays, but it seems like the right thing to do.

minnesota (-2.5) 2 units. holy crap, why is this line moving so heavily towards minnesota? does ANYBODY like the vikes? carolina can't possibly start 0-2. i guess delhomme will throw 8 interceptions today, and steady brad johnson leads the vikes to a 2-0 start. VIVA BRAD JOHNSON!!!

philly (-2.5) 1 unit. this one is particularly tough. i was gonna take the giants. and i have learned to NEVER switch sides. so the smart thing for me to do is lay off the game. fortunately for you, my loyal readers, i am NOT smart. seems like the whole world is on the g-men. so, as much as i hate to do it, i gotta take philly. c'mon, mcnabb, can you possibly not suck for a second week in a row?

tampa bay (+4.5) 2 units. tb looked terrible last week at home. atlanta won at carolina. i think the line is overreacting a little to both. tb owns vick. if chris simms can just throw less than 6 INT's, i think the bucs will be ok.

SF (+3) 2 units. another tough one. got a nice backdoor cover with the niners last week. hard to expect them to cover the spread 2 weeks in a row. talk about a mighty franchise that has fallen. i'm just going against the rams as road chalk on principle.

arizona (+7) 2 units. i may just go against seattle every week. has the public love affair with the cards ended already? c'mon people, they WON last week.

KC/den over (38) 2 units. the linesmakers knew green was out when the total opened at 42.5. i feel like i'm getting a bonus 4.5 points here. jake the snake will throw 3 pick 6's, and donte hall will return 3 kicks for TD's. 42-0 KC.

and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should never change your mind on a play. unfreakin' believable. i sure did feel smart for... about 59 minutes of that game. f--kin' eagles.

i think my favorite part was when the eagles decided to stop putting pressure on manning. i guess that was working too well. i can't say anything about the "prevent" defense that hasn't already been said. it's one thing if you don't normally pressure the qb. but that is what their defense is based on. they were doing it all game, and the giants couldn't move the ball. i think about 90% of the coordinators in the nfl should be fired. i don't know if they don't have courage in their convictions or maybe they're just retarded.

ok, i'm done venting. just a pathetic loss. glad i only had one unit on it.
