Week 1 Picks Recap

by Matthew

With Week 1 always so unpredictable, we were on the losing side of the coin. No matter, we have a whole season ahead of us and a lot of winning picks to dole out. A record of 2-3 in the picks corner for Week 1 is not disasterous. As long as we learn from our mistakes it can only get better.

Titans were losers on the money line and with the spread

Tennessee stupidly involved Vince Young in the game. The rookie quarterback threw a costly interception and now could be shell shocked. Kerry Collins was brutal in the first half but picked it up in the second half. In fact, we were in this game when the Titans came back from a 16-0 deficit to tie the game.

Who knew Chad Pennington would have one of the best games of his career? The answer is no one. And don't even try and pretend you knew he would. Pennington was the difference in this one, as the Tennessee defensive line was not as effective as it should have been in pressuring the QB.

Jaguars were winners on the money line and with the spread

It didn't look good early as the Jaguars were down 10-0 with the offense operating with Pop Warner-like precision. But, Jacksonville's defense wore down the opposing side and Byron Leftwich did enough to secure the win.

Yes, Terrell Owens was good in this one, but he was not great. You could see him sucking wind throughout the contest. Clearly the man's conditioning is just not there yet.

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!"

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.

Seahawks were losers with the spread

Can someone tell me what the heck happened here? A field goal win against the Marinelli-led Lions? Oy. This one does not bode welll for Seattle fans. Shaun Alexander was extremely ineffective, while Hasselbeck just could not get anything going in the air. As inept as the Detroit offense was, their defense did enough to keep them in the game. Give yourself a HUGE pat on the back if you knew the Seahawks would not score one freakin' touchdown in this game. We sure as heck didn't know.

This game tells us to take a very cautious approach to Seattle covering- at least until the offense proves it can produce. Meanwhile, if you bet on the Lions and won some money, don't expect them to hold high-powered offenses to nine points every week. This was more a case of Seattle not playing well rather than the Lions stepping it up.

Week 1 Record 2-3

Overall Record 2-3
