It’s September and the smell of pigskin is in the air; time for the Weekend Desk’s annual look at the key season-opening football match-ups.
Miami at Buffalo
Buffalo has been on a slow path to recovery since the low ebb hit years ago. And given recent developments, it might not be the best of times for the Fighting Fish. Our pick: Buffalo to cover
Denver at Jacksonville
We’ve been watching the line on the Second Coming for millennia now and we can tell you one thing: always bet the over.
Cincinnati at New England
Sure, the T.O. and Ochocinco Show promises plenty of inanity, but let’s face it. The Patriots haven’t exactly covered themselves with glory recently either. Our pick: push
San Diego at Kansas City
There’s been some chatter recently about reversing Rivers’ flow, but we’ve heard this sort of big talk before and it never came to anything. Our pick: Chargers in a romp
Dallas at Washington
Every time the Cowboys play the Redskins, society loses. Of course, it’s been years since outrage even managed to cover.
Detroit at Chicago
It boils down to a battle between Unstoppable Force versus Immovable Object. Either way, it’s a win for inertia.
