Matt's NFL Picks Week 1by Matthew RossIt's time to change the batteries in the remote, dust off the television screen and load up on carbs. It's time to bet on NFL football! I've been waiting all offseason for this moment. It's a time where I take center stage and throw out the picks that will become legendary and make you some serious coin. Now, my system for deriving at these picks is not scientific, nor is it exact. But, I can tell you that I watch every game every week and have a tremendous feel for each team and the league as a whole. Let's stop wasting time and get to the picks.

With 12 wins in 2005, very few pundits expect them to do better in 2006. However, they know this and will be playing with a chip on their shoulders the entire season. Byron Leftwich is obsessed with wanting to be taken seriously as a top flight quarterback. Look for the Jags to play physical and extremely well defensively. On the other side, Dallas' kicking game is a major question mark with Mike Vanderjagt banged up. Throw in a volatile Terrell Owens and a more surly than usual Bill Parcells and you've got the makings of an implosion right off the bat. I also don't like the Cowboys' running game. I think it'll struggle against the tough Jags defense. And makle no mistake about it- Dallas will miss the leadership of Larry Allen on the offensive line. Take Jacksonville on the money line and laying the points. NYJ @ Tenn (-2.5) This spread should really be higher than this. Consider that the Titans had the youngest defense in the league last season. Their defenders are a year older and wiser- a dangerous thought when you consider how many tight losses they racked up while lacking experience. Kerry Collins was brought in last minute to take over as starting quarterback as Billy Volek has done nothing but bitch. But, look for Collins to rely on his veteran savvy and get the offense moving. We're also looking for Lendale White to begin his rookie campaign on the right foot. Meanwhile, the Jets lost their pro bowl center and have two rookie starters on the offensive line. This does not bode well for the fragile Chad Pennington at quarterback. New York also lost their top sack guy in John Abraham. With no Curtis Martin and a rookie head coach, look for Jeff Fisher and his staff to have the Titans better prepared. Take Tennessee on the money line and laying the points. Seattle (-7) @ Detroit Are you kidding me? Coaches driving around naked? Wow, things are already more interesting in Detroit than last year! That said, don't look for a shocker here. Seattle is just as potent and well-oiled as they were last season. The Seahawks actually upgraded several positions in the offseason except for the offensive line. Look for Shaun Alexander to begin the touchdown parade early on. While Detroit doesn't have that defeatist attitude that they did in 2005, they will be hard pressed to match the intensity and purpose that Seattle will be playing with. Roy Williams could make this one interesting, but we just don't see John Kitna outdueling his former understudy Matt Hasselbeck. Take Seattle laying the points. After predicting multiple Super Bowl winners, expert NFL handicapper Mike "The Picker" Jones has returned with his 2012 Super Bowl XLVI prediction! His early Superbowl prediction was the New York Jets but after them falling apart towards the end of the regular season and missing out on the NFL playoffs, Mike now is going with the Patriots to win Superbowl XLVI. "I predict the AFC East New England Patriots will take down NFC powerhouse New York Giants by four points in the 2012 Super Bowl!" Good luck with all your 2012 NFL picks and have fun with a few Super Bowl prop bets at SBG Global Sportsbook, the world-wide leaders of online gambling! Super Bowl XLVI Picks from JP - The New England Patriots and the New York Giants will meet once again in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5th at 6:30pm ET in a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl. The rematch will go down at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where the Patriots will take the field as 3-point favorites over the New York Giants, but I have it going the other way. I think New York's defensive front will use the turf to its advantage and will get to Tom Brady enough times with their ferocious pass rush, while Eli Manning will slice up the Patriots' secondary, which will lead them to stop the Patriots at the finish line. The Pats may be the better team, but the Giants are the hotter club and that will translate onto the field on Super Sunday. --- by BetUSradio at 1800-sports.com on September 07, 2006
