Titans @ Jets
Liam: Jets (I initially pegged the Titans here...but then realized that I didn't buy them last year, so why start now? The Jets are this year's Titans...so I don't entirely trust them, but I can cheer for this rookie QB so that's enough for me).
Ling: Titans... don't trust the Jets, the Titans NEED this game

PICKS SHOWDOWN

To fill all of the half dozens of lonely souls who take the time to read this site, the stakes in the NFL picks this season have been escalated.

Not only are we going $1 for the winner of the week like we always do in this bet. This year we will also be wagering $1 on the overall record picks winner.

Bitch got lucky Week 1 and went 3-0 in swing games after initially piggy backing on 15 of 16 of my picks. However, since I'm a game prognosticator I put on the big boy pants and moved up to 3 swing games and in the process cost myself wins.... Weak.

After Week 1.

Liam up 1-0 in Week-by-week
LIAM... 13-3
LING... 10-6

SEAHAWKS!!!

You bet your ass or $1 that I believe the Seattle Seahawks will win the NFC West.

After the Seahawks demolition of the Rams last Sunday is there any doubt that the Seahawks will return to the top of the NFC West? Well there is for Liam.

The Seahawks will win the NFC West (LING)

versus

The Weak, Pathetic, Anemic, Crappy Cardinals, Ridiculous Rams, and Flimsy 49ers.

Vikings Or The Field

LIAM has put $1 on the line in defense of his beloved Minnesota Vikings.

The VIKINGS WILL WIN THE NFC NORTH (LIAM).

versus

The FIELD (LING)

Go Cutler! Go Rodgers! Um... do well Stafford & the Kitty Cats.

AD Rules

Simple. $1.

AD wins the rushing title (LIAM)

versus

Any one else wins the rushing title (LING)

TOP 5 RUSHERS NFL WEEK ONE

1. AD... 180
2. Mike Bell... 143
3. Julius Jones... 117
4. Ray Rice... 108
5. Thomas Jones... 107

HASSELBECK vs. FAVRE

$1 on the battle between...

Matt Hasselbeck (LING)
versus
Brett Favre (LIAM)

Best 2 out of 3 wins the $1 based on...

TDs
Yards
QB %

Week 1...

Favre... 110 yards, 1 TD, 95.3 QB %
Hasselbeck... 279 yards, 3 TD, 96.9 QB %

Advantage.... LING

The Pujols Bet

I have been meaning to post a few bets Liam and I decided on a couple weeks (maybe months) ago. Sit back as we post these bets.

THE PUJOLS BET

Albert Pujols will win the baseball Triple Crown at some point in his career.

LIAM... YES
LING... NO

Pujols in 2009...

HR... 47 (1st in NL, 1st in MLB)
RBI... 124 (2nd in NL behind Prince Fielder 125, 2nd in MLB)
AVG... .327 (2nd in NL behind Hanley Ramirez .358, 7th in MLB)

Pujols turns just 30 years old this offseason.

NFL Picks Showdown... Week 1

THURSDAY OPENER

TITANS @ STEELERS
Ling... Steelers
Liam...Steelers

I feel dirty with these picks. I was close to picking three swing games...but I just can't bring myself to cheer to do it. Since this is a season long competition it's important to pick the picks that you think will win. So be it if it's not THAT different from your competitors. We will see how the week goes. I may change my tune later!

SUNDAY

Jaguars @ Colts
Liam: Colts
Ling: Colts

Lions @ Saints
Liam: Saints
Ling: Saints

Eagles @ Panthers
Liam: Eagles (I so want to pick the Panthers...but I just can't)
Ling: Panthers... I'm changing it up

Cowboys @ Bucs
Liam: Cowboys
Ling: Bucs

Jets @ Texans
Liam: Texans - the Jets have owned the Texans in their last three...but that should change.
Ling: Texans

Chiefs @ Ravens
Liam: Ravens
Ling: Ravens

Broncos @ Bengals
Liam: Bengals (changed my mind here because we needed an odd number of picks)
Ling: Bengals

Vikings @ Browns
Liam: Vikings
Ling: Vikings

Dolphins @ Falcons
Liam: Falcons
Ling: Dolphins... Wildcat all day long

Redskins @ Giants
Liam: Giants
Ling: Giants

49ers @ Cardinals
Liam: Cardinals
Ling: Cardinals

Rams @ Seahawks
Liam: Seahawks
Ling: Seahawks

Bears @ Packers
Liam: Packers - Cutler needs more time (and talent) in order to start winning.
Ling: Packers

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Bills @ Patriots
Liam: Patriots
Ling: Patriots

Chargers @ Raiders
Liam: Chargers
Ling: Chargers

Just the one swing game this week. I can't bring myself to ever think that the Sucaneers can win anything. I hate the Cowboys...but the Bucs are terrible. I just hope they prove me right. And I will kick myself if the Jets and Panthers win.

12:08 UPDATE: No, No, No... there will be three swing games this week....

Cowboys @ Bucs
Eagles @ Panthers
Dolphins @ Falcons

As always, good luck Bitch!!!!
