Trom’s Picks – Week 1
Home team in CAPS
RAMS (+ 4) over Broncos
With Martz and his antics elsewhere(Detroit. Yay!), the Rams will be a more focused team this year. Stephen Jackson is a beast, and the Rams STILL have one of the better offenses in the league. Meanwhile, in Denver, fans are already counting down the days till they can see Jay Cutler.
Jets (+3) over TITANS
I’ve always liked Chad Pennington. He has had a bad string or injuries, and although he will probably get hurt down the road, he isn’t hurt now. Jets should win this easy.
Bills(+10) over PATRIOTS
The Bills are not good. They are bad. But they aren’t +10 bad. The Patriots had a lot of holes to fill, and while NE fans will tell me they fixed them well, I still don’t see +10 happening.
BUCS (-3) over Ravens
Everyone knows what the Bucs bring. Good defense. Everyone knows what the Ravens bring. Bad Offense. McNair will be able to help the team win a couple more games via offense this year, but this is not one of those games.
Bengals (+1) over CHIEFS
The Chiefs have Larry Johnson and Trent Green, but NO receivers, and an average defense. Meanwhile, Carson is back, and doesn’t appear to have let his injury bother him. Where you at, 85? Oh, in the endzone.
Seahawks (-6 1\2) over LIONS
The Madden curse will strike Shaun Alexander, I have no doubt about that. But when? Week 1? I doubt it. The Lions have a curse of their own. It’s called the “We’re the Detroit Lionsâ€
