This week includes a lot of lopsided games, more than usual. Maybe there will be another Fins>Pats type game or Bengals pushing the Giants to their limit game.
What is interesting is that the Browns @ Bengals is the hardest game to predict this week. Two 0-3 teams, no one knows which team will show up. [...]

So last week was full of favorites winning, not counting the Dolphins.
Even with my terrible record of 9-7 last week in Pick ‘Em, I still match up with the tops at ESPN at 32-15. I guess I shouldn’t have been so upset happy last week.
Anyways, I am going to stand out and say the Titans [...]
Week 3, Please

ESPN Expert Picks are slowly becoming very illegitimate.
Across the board: Falcons, Titans, 49ers, Broncos
Are these teams that good? No matter the opponents, the first three teams I listed should not be guarantees. I know their opponents aren’t the best, but really? Matt Ryan could not complete a pass last week, the Titans team is always [...]
The Bat’s Ranks

ESPN – Steelers at 2, Packers at 4
Dr. Z – Patriots at 2, Titans at 7
Fox – Giants at 1, Panthers at 4
NFP
1. Cowboys – Defense better improve first
2. Giants – So far the most consistent, except weak opponents
3. Steelers – Defense is back to old ways, but offense faltered a little against CLE
4. Eagles [...]

I don’t quite understand Dr. Z’s theories. Look at his power rankings, and that should explain it.
Dropping the Chargers and Colts to 15-16, while putting the Ravens above each of them? It has only been week one, those rankings are almost a joke, I don’t get how he is the head predictor at SI, it [...]
Can’t Be Disappointed

Well, I never thought I would be dropping Tom Brady from my fantasy teams after Week 1.
Wow.
There were some good games, and some bad ones.
Impressive: Panthers, Bears, Cardinals, Eagles, Titans, Bills, Falcons
Disappointing: Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Seahawks, Bengals, Lions, Colts (eh maybe)
With the Patriots down, this is a good outlook.
Aaron Rodgers played just like I thought [...]
Welcome to the New Year

It’s been seven long months since we have last seen a game, with meaning. The time is now.
Are you ready for this? Is everyone ready for this?
To tell the truth, I am not ready yet. I need more preparation. I have been overloaded with business the past couple of weeks. But, I will gladly accept [...]
We Can Start Breathing Again

Better believe it everyone. We can get back on our feet come Thursday.
Skins @ Giants. Love it.
So what does everyone think this year? -Okay other than the Patriots…
The trusty SI Zine. Patriots > Eagles. Reeeeeaally!?
Yea I’m going to pass on that. Tough task giving the Eagles a 12-4 record over Cowboys 10-6, very bold.
ESPN hasn’t [...]
