PIGSKIN 2014: Football Sunday ~ Week One

PIGSKIN

FOOTBALL SUNDAY

Week One

Coin Toss: 

• This week, there's a 50/50 chance I actually know what I'm talking about.

• The Seattle Seahawks repeat...

1st and 10:

• There will be no undefeated teams remaining by Week 10.

No Gain:

• Don't get in an elevator with the commissioner of the NFL.

3rd and Long:

• How long before Michael Vick replaces Geno Smith as the starting QB of the Jets?

Punt!

• How much longer will (or can) Daniel Snyder hold out and keep the name REDSKINS in operation?  If you recall, this blog committed to referring to them as the HOGS last season. But, I actually like his defiance.

Here we go...

For the unlearned, I post my Sunday selections on Friday nights/Saturday mornings.  I usually just stick to the Sunday games.  I always use Friday's (NYDN) line.

Bagels are currency here.  Each game is worth one Bagel.  I pick a SCHMEAR of the WEEK that's worth 3 Bagels.

And lastly, I can't pick Browns games.  They haunt me.

That's it.  Consider yourself learned.
