Not sure where today will go

Good for the NFL
For letting everyone see the Pats go down in history as the 1st 16-0 team.
With only 40% of America getting the NFL network it was a no brainier to let CBS and NBC broadcast the games. I know i would have been pissed if i was not able to watch the game. I had already planned where i was going to watch the game. (I was not about to sit at a bar for 4-5 hours)
I have said this before, but, the NFL in a Billion (Like $1,000,000,000.00 BILLION) dollar a year industry. Why, why, do they feel the need to charge us to watch the games on t.v.? I know how much my cable bill is every month, I know how much football i watch. I just do not see the need for it. Maybe they feel left out watching Boxing, UFC and WWE rake in millions of dollars on pay-per-view events and feel the need to reach deeper into the pockets of the fans? I love football, played it as a kid, played it as a young adult, and when the occasion arises play it as an adult. as the world changes we have to adapt. and the same i suspect it true for football. We have had to adapt to rule changes over the years (some of which i still do not understand). But to puinish the fans of the sport by trying to get and extra buck out of them is assinine. We already pay enough at the game, why should we from our living rooms?

Picks (home teams in CAPS)
NE over G-men
Nothing will stop the 16-0 run. not even if Eli has the game of his life. I look for the Partiots to roll over the Giants in a big way and make a statement headed into the playoffs.

Seattle over ATLANTA
Could be a trap game for the Seahawks. Atlanta has nothing to play for, Seattle does not gain anything buy playing the starters.

CHICAGO over The Saints
It's gonna be cold. Chicago's defence and there running attack should be enough to take care of the Saints.

CLEVELAND over 49ers
Cleveland will win but will not make the playoffs. (To bad.)

GREEN BAY over Detroit.
Farve passes fo 900 yards in the final tune up before the playoffs.

MIAMI (yes, Miami) over the Bengles.
Ocho Cinco plays badly, Carson Palmer sucks even worse. Miami plays o.k. and wins.

Buffalo over PHILADELPHIA
Here it is boys and girls. Donovan McNabb's last home game as an Eagle.

Rest of the picks
TAMPA BAY over Carolina.
Jacksonville over HOUSTON
WASHINGTON over Dallas
Pittsburgh over BALTIMORE
ARIZONA over ST. Louis
J-E-T-S over Kansas City
SAN DIEGO over Oakland
Minnesota over DENVER
Tennessee over INDY

Have a safe and happy new year.
