WES WHITSIDE -- NFL PICKS
1:00pm Games:
Chicago Bears 1-0 at Carolina Panthers 1-0: These are two teams who I did not expect to be 1-0, that’s for sure. Don’t worry Chris “Red” Hughes, I got you covered BEARS by 5
Fantasy Pick: Matt Forte RB of the Bears
Tennessee Titans 1-0 at Cincinnati Bengals 0-1: No Vince Young, no problem. The Bengals aren’t very good. TITANS by 10
Fantasy Pick: Chris Johnson RB of the Titans.
Green Bay Packers 1-0 at Detroit Lions 0-1: Hey, Aaron Rodgers isn’t so bad after all, is he? With that being said, there’s no reason why the Packer fans need to worry about a Rodger’s let down. PACKERS by 21
Fantasy Pick: Donald Driver WR of the Packers
Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars: If the Bills want to take advantage of a now wide open AFC East conference, they must show they can win on the road. However, it won’t happen this week.
JAGUARS by 3
Fantasy Pick: Jaguars Defense
Oakland Raiders 0-1 at Kansas City Chiefs 0-1: Another bitter rivalry game for the Raiders, but another big loss is in store for them. CHIEFS by 17
Fantasy Pick: Larry Johnson RB of the Chiefs
Indianapolis Colts 0-1 at Minnesota Vikings 0-1: Dear Vikings, if you happen to be in the situation you were in last week; fourth quarter, third and two and trailing, please give the ball to Adrian Peterson. Your biggest fan, Wes. Upset Special Vikings by 3
Fantasy Pick: Adrian Peterson RB of the Vikings
New York Giants 1-0 at St. Louis Rams 0-1: Do I even need to say anything about this game? GIANTS by 24
Fantasy Pick: Eli Manning QB of the Giants
New Orleans Saints 1-0 at Washington Redskins 0-1: Hey, Jim Zorn, let me introduce you to your starting running back, his name is Clinton Portis. Give him the rock.
REDSKINS by 2
Fantasy Pick: You guessed it Clinton Portis RB of the Redskins
4:00 pm Games
San Francisco 49ers 0-1 at Seattle Seahawks 0-1: I have direct TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket, but this game will not be on my screen, that’s for sure. SEAHAWKS by 10
Fantasy Pick: Matt Haselback QB of the Seahawks
Atlanta Falcons 1-0 at Tampa Bay Buccaneer 0-1: Congrats Matt Ryan on finishing your collegiate career with a win over the Detroit Lions last week. The Bucs will now be your first regular season NFL game. BUCS by 10
Fantasy Pick: Joey Galloway WR of the Bucs
Miami Dolphins 0-1 at Arizona Cardinals 1-0: Ken Whisenhunt might have saved his coaching career by naming Kurt Warner as his starter this year.
CARDINALS by 7
Fantasy Pick: Larry Fitzgerald WR of the Cardinals
San Diego Chargers 0-1 at Denver Broncos 1-0: The Chargers did everything right last week besides break up Jake Delhomme’s touchdown pass on the game’s final play. Look for their defense to be motivated due to the loss of teammate, Shawne Merriman. Merriman will have season-ending knee surgery. CHARGERS by 6
Fantasy Pick: Antonio Gates TE of the Chargers
Baltimore Raven 1-0 at Houston Texans 0-1: Man, that Ravens defense looked good last week. Matt Schaub’s jersey will be dirty again this week. RAVENS by 17
Fantasy Pick: Ravens Defense
New England Patriots 1-0 at New York Jets 1-0: Was it me or did Bill Belichick look like he was going to shed a tear or two on Monday addressing the media about Tom Brady? Don’t worry Bill, you always find a way to beat your protégé, Eric Mangini. Maybe not the fair way, but you do.
PATRIOTS by 1
Fantasy Pick: Wes Welker WR of the Patriots
Sunday Night Game
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns: Browns fans, most of you have probably been tormented all week by Steeler’s fans about that beating you took from the Cowboys last weekend. While they’re probably gloating over their “oh so” impressive win over the Texans, I feel for you Browns fans. However, your defense just isn’t good enough for me to take you this week. Here’s what you do, call in sick so you don’t have to hear those Steeler’s fans.
STEELERS by 10
Fantasy Pick:Santonio HolmesWR of the Steelers
Monday Night Game
Philadelphia Eagles 1-0 at Dallas Cowboys 1-0: This is the game of the week as far as I’m concerned. Both teams look sharp on both defense and offense in their wins last week. Donavan McNabb is on a mission to gain the respect from the media while Tony Romo is trying to keep the media spotlight off of him. Will there be a Jessica Simpson sighting in Dallas this week?
COWBOYS by 6
Fantasy Pick: Marion Barber RB on the Cowboys
