NFL Picks: Week 1

It’s wayyyy past time to take a break from hurricanes and politics.
Tonight, football season officially gets underway — and Polimom has unearthed The Magical Golden Coin once again.

Here’s this week’s flips*:

NY GIANTS (-3.5) over Washington
St. Louis (+7.5) over PHILADELPHIA
Seattle (+0.5) over BUFFALO
MIAMI (+3.5) over NY Jets – Clearly the Coin missed the memo about Favre.
Kansas City (+16.5) over NEW ENGLAND – Too many points? We’ll see, eh?
ATLANTA (+2.5) over Detroit
NEW ORLEANS (-3.5) over Tampa Bay – I’d have been tempted to pick this even if the Coin hadn’t — though it’s amazing that they’ll be playing in the Dome.
Cincinnati (-1.5) over BALTIMORE
Jacksonville (-2.5) over TENNESSEE
PITTSBURGH (-6.5) over Houston
Carolina (+8.5) over SAN DIEGO
CLEVELAND (+5.5) over Dallas
Arizona (-2.5) over SAN FRANCISCO
INDIANAPOLIS (-9.5) over Chicago
GREEN BAY (-2.5) over Minnesota
OAKLAND (+2.5) over Denver

* As always — the home team is in CAPS, and point spreads apply.
