NFL Week 1

Awesome win by the Bulldogs today. Note to self, keep using reverse psychology when picking UGA games. I can't stomach a full game of ND vs Michigan and the fawning by the network. So what am I watching? As you know I don't watch much so I'm just catching "Argo." Is it strange to say this is the first movie I've ever found Ben Affleck slightly attractive? He's very talented and I like his movies. Must be the hair and scruff. Impressive soundtrack and I'm totally envious of the women's wardrobes in this flick. Bell-bottoms forever baby!!! In the words of the Blackeyed Peas "Let's Get It Started"......

If you had a fantasy football team that consisted of the Dogfather (aka Mike Vick), Cleveland Browns defense, and several members of the Raiders, would you even bother to play? Riiiiiight. Can I get Jamarcus Russell back in the league to make this legit. Speaking of fantasy football, if you had Mr. Manning on Thursday night you had swag.  Peyton had a pretty good night on Thursday for a guy 2 steps from the assisted living home according to some experts, eh? Congrats to Mr. Manning for beating my boyfriend, John Harbaugh (who got a fat contract). However, I think the Broncos are flawed because they have too many players from the University of Kentucky on their team. This ain't hoops Mr. Elway.

New England at Buffalo-Buffalo is lovely in Sept. For you trivia buffs, at one time Buffalo was the incest capital of the US which is certainly something to advertise, right? I digress. Pats have had much hoopla surrounding them including alleged murderers and all that is Tebow. Neither are with the team. BAM! Buffalo has had more QBs on their roster than I can name. Kolb-probably done forever. Leinhart-defying logic proving there was another stop after Oakland but put a fork in him too. Jeff Tuel-who? EJ Manuel gets to start this Sunday. I know some folks say the wheels have fallen off the Pats' bus but I believe there is still an engine. Pats-31 Bills-20.

Seattle at Carolina-Does Cam take the next step? Is he going to claim that Katy Perry song "Roar" as his own? Does Russell Wilson suffer from a sophomore slump? I have no idea but I think the Seahawks get it done. Jet lag included. Hags-28 Panthers-21.

Miami at Cleveland=Poor Cleveland. The Jim Brown curse continues as their first round pick won't be playing the first game. However,  the Browns are scrappy and I trust Bernie Kosar's sober analysis-as soon as I hear it.  Browns in an upset 21-17.

KC at Jacksonville-Also known as "The Ambien Bowl." Chiefs do have Alex Smith and if he can stay upright they should be okay. Jags always amaze everyone when they score in the double digits.  Chiefs will suck up the humidity and leave with a "w". Chiefs 27-10

TB at NY Jets- So the Bucs are going to visit Ringling Brothers this week. There is a line that Mark Sanchez would throw his first TD to Darrell Revis. Vegas was wrong? Sanchez is banged up so enter Gino Smith. I like Gino's odds of throwing a pick 6. But unlike Gruden, the Bucs don't make me swoon.Bucs' QB has good hair and is in a contract year. This means nothing but this game is going to be fug. I can't believe I'm doing this but I will take the Jets. 13-10. Yes, I realize this means Jets will lose by 50.

NYG at Dallas-Elmer goes to Jerry's World. That sounds like a Jonah Hill/Seth Rogan flick. Giants didn't make the playoffs last year so history would tell us they would be good this year. I have no clue. Dallas is building a Victoria's Secret shop at the stadium, but if Jerry could get the Angels to the stadium, it would make Jerry the most popular dude in Dallas. I'll take Romo and company in a good one. 35-28.

GB at SF-Rodgers vs Kapernick. One does the discount double check dance while the other is doing the triple tattoo throw. When I see Kap (I'm too lazy to type that out again), I feel like I need to read him.   49ers-28 Pack Attack-27

Philly vs Washington-.So Chip "I believe I can fly" Kelly left the Ducks with some issues and the Eagles seem to have dissension on the team with Cary Williams challenging Riley Cooper to a WWF match. Birds of a feather flock together. The Dogfather says the young players don't respect him. Where is Dr. Phil when you need him?  RG3 is recovering from a torn ACL and apparently he and Shanahan aren't on the same page. They're probably not even reading the same book. Eagles are a mess and the Redskins will wet the bed later. Redskins-35 Eagles-21

****Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Game of the Week*****

Falcons at the Saints- Falcons fly into New Orleans to take on Drew Brees and associates. Saints have their coach Sean Peyton back this year after a year of doing...whatever he has been doing, Allegedly, he's going thru a messy divorce after his wife caught him canoodling with a cheerleader. Wonder if she walked in and said "Who dat"  before contacting her divorce attorney.  Saints are good at home even though they had one of the worst defenses in the history of the NFL last season. I say. History would say take the Saints but I'll take Steven Jackson to have a nice day. 35-31

Let's see how we do...
