Smell that? Take a big whiff.
Ahhh. That's football, kids.
This year, I kick Bill Simmons's ass. Write it down, boys.
Here are my picks for Week 1 (home team in caps, Bill's pick in red):
Vikings (+5) over SAINTS
Yeah, Minnesota has no healthy receivers. But they're going to settle the score.
Panthers (+7) over GIANTS
Don't get me wrong: Carolina will lose, just not by a TD.
Packers (-3) over EAGLES
Too much turnover in Philadelphia.
Falcons (-2) over STEELERS
Who's the QB for Pittsburgh? Me?
Dolphins (-3) over BILLS
Hope you picked future Rookie Of The Year C.J. Spiller for your fantasy football team.
Lions (+6) over BEARS
I'm still on the Lions bandwagon. Eventually, that damn thing will pick up speed.
PATRIOTS (-4.5) over Bengals
I think last year was a fluke for the Bengals.
Colts (-2) over TEXANS
As much as I'd love to see the Texans win, I don't think it'll happen.
TITANS (-6) over Raiders
I don't care if they do have a new QB who can actually throw the ball, they're still the Raiders.
JAGS (-2.5) over Broncos
Remember last year when Denver fooled us into thinking they were good?
Browns (+2.5) over BUCS
I'm so happy the Bucs are in the same division as the Panthers.
Niners (-3) over SEAHAWKS
San Francisco will take the NFC West this year.
Cardinals (-4) over RAMS
This should be an interesting game.
Ravens (+2.5) over JETS
The Jets spend too much time talking.
CHIEFS (+5) over Chargers
I like Kansas City this year.
Cowboys (-3.5) over REDSKINS
Dallas will win this one by 10.
