Vinnie, Gonna have a good year.  Gonna break my man this year.

Actually, we started off quite well winning BOTH our preseason games so far.  Both were EASY MONEY.    Never in doubt!

OK, time for the last hurrah during the preseason.  Some coaches come to play, some to rest the final week.  Let’s take a couple games…

Carolina -3 @ Pittsburgh:  Pittsburgh is playing an early game on week one, and certainly wants to protect Big Ben.  Carolina should win this game easily, as their players are fighting hard for roster sports, and Pittsburgh’s emphasis is more on opening day than the game at hand.  Carolina -3 ***

Denver +3.5 @ Arizona:  Look for Dennis Green to continue to teach his team how to win, as Matt L. plays most of the game at QB, and dominates the second string Broncos.  The Broncos focus on working on their running game, and the Cards focus on winning and defending their new stadium.  Take AZ, and lay the points -3.5. ***

Carolina -3 ***

Arizona -3.5 ***

Two quick picks this week, but looking forward towards the regular season too.  I have my eye on a 5-star pick on week one, check back for more details later.  Until then, I’m working on starting up a bar.  Life is good…
