Week 4: The Game of Disagreement

Philip Rivers has been on fire and looks to spearhead
the biggest blowout of the week against the lowly Jags.

Sorry for the late post once again, but here are our picks of the week. We only disagree on the one game that we both have the least amount of confidence in. Enjoy!

Stally's Seven-Point Pick
@San Diego over Jacksonville

Stally: The Chargers aren't the best team in the league, but they're taking the shape of a very good one.  It's hard to see them losing at home to Jacksonville just two weeks after they beat the Super Bowl-champion Seahawks.  That's unlikely.

Austen: When teams are even, I always go with the home team when it involves a 2000+ mile commute for the road team. These two teams are not even close to even. I would put the Chargers in the top 5 teams in the league right now, and they might be the best in the AFC (I cannot wait for their two games against the Broncos to see where they actually are). The Jags are miserably bad, as always. They have no chance.

Week 3: A Lot of Agreement

Stally: Just a note that it's NASCAR weekend here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, so I'm going to try to type this about 10 minutes.  We also didn't have time to proof or format.  Sorry.

Austen's Eight Point Pick

@Cincinatti over Tennessee

Austen: The Bengals are seemingly unstoppable at home during the regular season. The Titans simply do not scare anyone on offense or defense. Even a banged up Bengals team should be a massive favorite over the Titans.

Stally: I certainly have the Bengals with a lot of confidence, but not sure I would have kicked them off with the first pick of the day.

Stally's Eight Point Pick

@New England over Oakland

Stally: This is a mismatch for sure, especially in New England.  I'd be shocked to see this one within even two scores.

Austen: I am starting Tom Brady is fantasy football this week, so I have a whole lot of confidence in the Pats winning this one. The Raiders might not win a game on the road all year.

Austen's Seven Point Pick

@New Orleans over Minnesota

Austen: There is no way the Saints start the season 0-3 after being a sleeper to win the Super Bowl. Even without Mark Ingram, they massively out class the Vikings. This is also their first home game of the year, where they tend to dominate.

Stally: As funny as it sounds to put this much confidence on an 0-2 team, I completely agree.  The Vikings looked miserable agains the Patriots in Minnesota last week, they don't stand a chance in the Superdome.

Week 2: Better Late Than Never

The Eagles (of the Boston variety) shocked the world and
these SOBs, while also disrupting our blogging flow.

This is unquestionably the latest we have ever sent out our picks of the week. I apologize profusely, but I am still recovering from the weekend in which Stally and I had to watch our beloved USC Trojans get utterly thrashed by Boston College. We got to see it live and in person, so our trip to Boston messed up our writing/posting schedule a bit.

Either way, here are our picks of the week!

Stally's Eight-Point Pick
@Green Bay over New York Jets

Stally: This is a pretty easy pick.  The Packers are a good team and they're at home, and the Jets aren't a good team going on the road, at a place that is always hard to win.  I have trouble seeing the Jets pulling off any sort of upset.

Austen: Not a whole lot of argument here. Would not take them this high, but I have slightly more faith in the Jets keeping this as a close one, but ultimately falling short due to their weakness at cornerback.
