Wildcard Saturday

The real NFL season begins today. Not surprisingly, known associate is in Reno stimulating the local economy. Since the games are fewer and infinitely more meaningful form here on out, we'll each make one play per game. Here are our picks:

-----------

billy rubin:

Jets +2.5 @ Bengals

Two subpar offenses and one pretty damn good defense. My guess is the team with the good defense prevails.
(Jets 24, Bengals 14 W)

Eagles +4 @ Cowboys

I hate both these teams, but I think Philly is due to beat the Cowboys.
(Eagles 14, Cowboys 34 L)

Ravens +3.5 @ Patriots

Patriots are missing Welker and Brady's a bit banged up. Ravens are an underrated defense this year.
(Ravens 33, Patriots 14 W)

Packers -1 @ Cardinals

Holy shit, I'm taking all the away teams. That doesn't sound right... Go Pack!
(Packers 45, Cardinals 51 L)

(Week 2-2, Playoffs 2-2, Season 27-27-1)
