Hey, fellow pigskiners!!! I am so happy that Patrick has given me the chance to voice my opinions on the picks of the week. As a life-time sports enthusiast, and former high school softball player, I have grown up with a love for sports and the determination to win. While in college, I studied Journalism, and was always designated Sports Anchor for all the on-air stories. My competitive nature is one of the main driving forces behind my desire to run for political office one day. Sarah Palin is a great role model of mine as she is to so many young women. One of the things that I admire most about Sarah is her love for sports. As a former high school basketball player, she knows what it means to win and the importance of team work. She has been credited with saying: "Everything I've ever needed to know, I learned through sports." Sarah is so true in saying this. Like Sarah, I learned the value of team work, the importance of being a team player and the desire to win, while striving to be the best I can be. The other athletes out there know exactly what I am talking about. Now, let's get down to business. The following are my picks for Week Three:
Chargers over Dolphins: As many of you may have heard, I'm a San Diegan and a HUGE San Diego Charger's fan!!! While we have come so close to getting to the Super Bowl the last few years, we just cannot seem to get it done. Well, as I say every year, "Maybe this is our year!" While the Chargers struggled this past week (Our head coach hates to take the necessary risks and chances), I am going to pick my boys over the Miami Dolphins, who lost to the Colts last night in a heart breaker. The Chargers have all the necessary weapons to beat a team like Miami.
Packers over the Rams
Vikings over 49ers
Patriots over Falcons
Jets over Titans: I may have been one of a small group of people who picked the Jets to beat the Patriots last week. The reason I did is simple: They're hot and continue to be hot as we head into week three. Plus, I love the trash talking that their coach has been doing. What's football without the whole trash talking drama?
Eagles over Chiefs: While Donavon McNabb seems to be injured, I still believe the Eagles will beat a Chief team that is definitely struggling to find their groove with a new quarterback.
Ravens over Browns
Texans over Jaguars
Redskins over Lions: Do you think the Lions will ever win a game this season?
Bears over Seattle: The Bears looked hot last week when they surprised the entire country and beat the Steelers. Now, as they head into Seattle, they should have no problem beating a Seahawk team that is in desperate need of an identity. As much as I cannot stand Jay "Cuddles" Cutler (It's a San Diego thing), he should play well against the 'hawks.
Saints over Bills: Two words: Drew Brees (Enough said). As much as I love Terrell Owens, yes I really do, I have to go with a former San Diego Chargers QB who is well on his way to being the NFL MVP.
Steelers over Bengals: While the Steelers and their kicker struggled against the Bears, Big Ben and company will have no problem with a weak team like the Bengals. And from a girl's perspective, Big Ben is a hottie!!! I cannot stand Pittsburgh fans, but I will always love Big Ben who is simply a gentleman and a class act!
Raiders over Broncos: Many of you may be like "What is she thinking with this pick?" I have many reasons for picking the Raiders. While the Broncos are 2-0, it is easy to see why. They have played two easy teams (Bengals and Browns), which is the only reason why they are 2-0. This week, their winning streak comes to an end, as they play a hot Raiders team and face a group of crazy fans in a very hostile stadium.
Colts over Cardinals
Giants over Buccaneers
Panthers over Cowboys: I know my dear friend, Patrick, is going to kill me for this, but Tony Romo (whom I adore and love to the point in which I named my little dog after him), is clearly struggling, and the Panthers are due for a win. This time, no one can blame it on Terrell Owens or my girl, Jessica Simpson. (SHAME on you haters!) The Cowboys are clearly not in the groove, and with Tony throwing four picks last week, it is hard for me to see the Cowboys clicking in the near future. Like Patrick, I love the Cowboys to the point of calling them my "Second team," but it is going to be hard to overcome all the different attitudes this team has. They need to find themselves, and until they do, they will struggle to find the rhythm they need to win. BUT, if they do pull it out, I will post a pick of me in my cute pink and white Jessica Simpson inspired Tony Romo jersey, and post it here next week!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK THREE, EVERYBODY!!!
