They're Back, Bay-Bee!
>> Saturday
That's right, YCS' world-famous, horrible, horrible gambling/NFL picks are back for 2007. If you're a betting man at the end of your rope, just follow our advice and you'll be tongue-kissing the business end of a shotgun in less than a week.
And with that, here's where the smart money lives:
Tennessee @ Jacksonville
Although Jacksonville's favored by a touchdown, my upset pick of the week is the Titans. For some reason, I really don't like the Jags this year.
Atlanta @ Minnesota
Atlanta can't throw, Minnesota stuffs the run. Vikings win.
Denver @ Buffalo
Travis Henry and Jay Cutler lead the Broncos over the Bills in this one.
Pittsburgh @ Cleveland
Cleveland's improving, Pittsburgh is still better. For now.
Carolina @ St. Louis
The Rams' offense is better than Carolina's D. Could be a lot of points in this one.
Philadelphia @ Green Bay
The underdog Packers win this one, and I'm honestly a bit surprised that the Eagles are such a popular pick in this game. (Homer alert!)
Miami @ Washington
The Redskins aren't really that good, but Miami could have a rough going in the early part of the season.
New England @ New York Jets
New England proves that the Belicheck's still the master and Mangini is but the learner.
Tampa Bay @ Seattle
Who gives a shit? Fine, Seattle wins this one. Tampa sucks.
Chicago @ San Diego
The Chargers win this one because although both teams have great defenses, San Diego features an aspect of modern football known as an "offense" (and no, the T-Formation doesn't count).
Detroit @ Oakland
In probably one of the few games all season in which Oakland will be favored, I like the Raiders to shut down the Lions and cover the 2.5 spread.
New York Giants @ Dallas
Although I think Dallas is being a bit overrated this year (their pass defense still concerns me), the Giants are kind of a mess right now. The Cowboys win.
Now, let's get ready to gaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmblllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeee!

The only one that I'd strongly disagree with would be Jacksonville-Tennessee. While I don't think the Jags are world beaters by any means and made an idiotic move cutting Leftiwch, the Titans are absolute crap after Vince Young. The Second Coming from Austin has a long day as Jacksonville defenders swarm him all game long.
I went the other way in the Denver-Buffalo, Pitt-Cleveland and Philly-Green Bay games, but wouldn't exactly call my picks overly convincing. I really don't like picking Buffalo over Denver since the Broncos are the much better team, but have a funny feeling Buffalo has a strong week one at Ralph Wilson.
Also, for those readers who need an early jump on Monday, take Cincinnati and San Francisco to get the home W's over Baltimore and Arizona respectively.
How can we "gambleee" if you don't pick against the spread? Pussy.
Also, by my count, Vinnie is 7 of 8 in the early games.
You better quit while you're ahead.
And by that I mean find a way to get the rest of the games cancelled.
