With the NFL season a mere 5 1\/2 (or is it 4 1\/2?) hours away, I damn near forgot to get my picks in for the inaugural week of “Tony kicks Pete’s<\/a> ass in NFL picks: Part Two”. (That’s just a working title, but I’ll run with it.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, here goes, in usual bullet point fashion:
\n
\nNEW ENGLAND over Oakland – You don’t think the NFL would let their meal ticket lose at home on opening night, do you?<\/p>\n

KANSAS CITY over NY Jets – When in doubt, take the decent home team over the potentially less-than-decent road team.<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE over Seattle – See above.<\/p>\n

CLEVELAND over Cincinnati – Cincinnati will win this game by 17 points. But I can’t pick against the Browns right out of the gate.<\/p>\n

CAROLINA over San Antonio…err, New Orleans – Sure, the Saints may be pumped to get on the field but on the road against a good team that’s not missing half their city gets my vote.<\/p>\n

HOUSTON over Buffalo – My first road team winning, and it could be a shaky proposition.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON over Chicago – Bears are bad. Very bad.<\/p>\n

PITTSBURGH over Tennessee – I really want to miss this pick.<\/p>\n

MINNESOTA over Tampa Bay<\/p>\n

DENVER over Miami – Fish are worse than the Bears.<\/p>\n

ST. LOUIS over San Francisco – I don’t think the Niners will be as bad as they were last year or the year before, but it’ll be close.<\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO over Dallas – No Antonio Gates makes this one close, but the Chargers should get it done on the road.<\/p>\n

NY GIANTS over Arizona<\/p>\n

GREEN BAY over Detroit<\/p>\n

BALTIMORE over Indianapolis – Sure it was just preseason and the backups played most of the minutes, but on the road against the Ravens isn’t the place to try to start clicking.<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA at Atlanta – T.O. and Donovan McNabb are planning something “special” for the cameras. I hope the FCC is watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
