Well folks, it is finally here. The start of the 2008 NFL Season. The first game kickoffs tonight in NYC at 4 pm pacific. Of course, what would be a NFL season with out picking the games.

On the blog this year, through out the season, Chris, Gonzo, and I will be picking all of the games and keeping track of the records so that you can humiliate us in the comments for our idiocy. We decided in the interest of not looking like total fools, we are not using the spread. Just straight picks.

Here are the current standings......

Steffes- 0-0
Sullivan- 0-0
Parker- 0-0

Ah....500 is so nice! To see this weeks picks.....

	GAME	Steffes	Sullivan	Gonzo
2	Washington @ New York Giants	NYG	NYG	Washington
3	Detroit @ Atlanta	Atlanta	Detroit	Detroit
4	New York Jets @ Miami	NYJ	Miami	NYJ
5	Tampa Bay @ New Orleans	Tampa Bay	Tampa Bay	New Orleans
6	Kansas City @ New England	New England	New England	New England
7	St. Louis@ Philadelphia	Philly	Philly	Philly
8	Houston @ Pittsburgh	Houston	Pittsburgh	Houston
9	Jacksonville @ Tennessee	Jacksonville	Jacksonville	Jax
10	Cincinnatti @ Baltimore	Baltimore	Cincinatti	Baltimore
11	Carolina @ San Diego	San Diego	San Diego	San Diego
12	Arizona @ San Francisco	Arizona	Arizona	Arizona
13	Dallas @ Cleveland	Dallas	Cleveland	Cleveland
14	Chicago @ Indianapolis	Indy	Indy	Indy
15	Minnesota @ Green Bay	Green Bay	Minnesota	Green Bay
16	Denver @ Oakland	Oakland	Denver	Denver
17	Seattle @ Buffalo	Seattle--20-17	Seattle -- 27 - 13	Seattle 24-14

As you can see there are a lot of games we agree on, but many we don't. I tended to take some of the home teams. Oakland, Atlanta, and Green Bay for example. My biggest surprise is Houston going on the road to beat Pittsburgh, but I am not alone, with Gonzo tagging along. Chris is the only one who thinks Tavaris Jackson is ready for prime time.

With the Hawks, as total homers, we all predict Hawk victories of varying dominance. Listen to this weeks podcast to hear why we each think the game will shake out that way. It should be up tomorrow. Until then....watch some regular season NFL football people. It is finally here.
