Sportsmeat

In Week 1, there was one game that the Sportsmeat prognosticators (all 8 of us) picked unanimously. We could not have been more sure that Buddha's beloved Iggles would comfortably cover the 2.5 point spread with a blowout win in Green Bay. I have long vowed that, when faced with the Sportsmeat equivalent of a sure thing, I would get to Vegas and put as much as I could possibly afford on the team that none of us had picked. Had I done so, I'd be a happy man right now. It turns out that Donovan McNabb is a step slower than Byron Leftwich, Greg Lewis has the hands of Kevin Everett (too soon?), and Andy Reid has been raiding his sons' secret stash. The Pack won outright, by a score of 16-13.

Adding salt to Buddha's wounds, he rounded out his picks with the Jets, Giants and Ravens, making it a clean 0-4. Not to be outdone, both EJ and Joe replicated Buddha's 0-4 start.

On the other side, Dave Law, Ya Shoes and Maxipriest each picked the Pats, Cowboys and Bengals to go 3-1 and tie for the early lead. BT and Byron rounded out the group with 1-3 records.

Stay tuned for this week's NFL picks plus the belated season premiere of the Mad Dog -20 college picks.
