Wingnuts On Parade

Well, we're off to a nice start with the Giants. Let's see if I can keep it going.

Arizona at San Francisco over 42 points total: This could be the most entertaining game of the weekend that no one will see. The Niners have to be improved with new mad scientist/offensive coordinator Mike Martz. The Cardinals, for their part, are downright dangerous as long as they can keep 206-year-old QB Kurt Warner upright and lucid. I am bucking a trend here; defenses are normally ahead of offenses early in the season, and there are degenerates out there who will bet the under on every game this week and take their chances.

Buffalo -1 vs. Seattle: The Seahawks have never been great in the Eastern Time Zone. Their receiving corps is already battered by injuries, and their QB has a bulging disc in his back that required a steroid shot to get him ready for the opener. The Bills are a young, fast team on the rise with a historically strong home-field advantage.

New Orleans -3 vs. Tampa Bay: The Saints have quietly shrugged off their struggles of last season, and look to be the scary 2006 version again. The Bucs are another year older, and slower.

Carolina +9 at San Diego: The Chargers are loaded, but have injury concerns to many of their All-Stars. I don't think they are ready to cover a big spread against an underrated Panthers team that paradoxically plays better on the road.
