I wonder what people who don’t spend their fall weekends watching football do. At least Warsaw native Harrison Mevis made a couple of kicks. It’s going to be a long football season over here. They play Kansas State next week and will probably lose by 30. It took my Missouri Tigers all four quarters to hold onto a win against Middle Tennessee State on Saturday as 21 point favorites. If I was forced to only watch one show for the rest of my life and it was this one, I’d die happy. Before we get into the picks, a few quick hitters: I’ve been rewatching The Sopranos, which really gets better every time I see it. Maybe, just maybe, I can make up for another horrid season in Chicago by becoming the greatest NFL pick man of all time (Even more unlikely). Maybe sometimes, I really do know what I’m talking about (Unlikely). It also gave me a much needed confidence boost. It was a much needed victory following the abysmal football that I had just waited over 250 days to watch. The Eagles holding on to cover against the Patriots gave me not only a 4-1 mark in the late window but also my ninth win of the weekend, clinching a winning record for week one. This year however, we’re firing on all cylinders coming out of the gate. Those of you who read this column weekly are well aware that last year, it took me quite some time to put it all together and go above. But luckily for me, there is a silver lining. At least the New York Giants played on Sunday night and saved my guys from having the worst performance of the weekend. I want to be sad, but I mostly just feel numb. As I write this introduction on Monday morning, I’m still angry. How on earth do you look that unprepared? They’ve played one game and I’m already secretly hoping they tank for USC’s Caleb Williams? As if that would even fix anything. Seriously, the schedule was announced 110 days before the game was played. Someone needs to tell offensive coordinator Luke Getsy the goal of the game is to go up and down the field not left and right. Don’t even get me started on the offense. The guy was practically playing catch in his backyard. The cheerfulness around my apartment during the first few hours of the first NFL Sunday of the year quickly evaporated as Packers QB Jordan Love completed the easiest passes I’ve ever seen after spending 30 seconds waiting in the pocket. I have never in my life seen a team look that unprepared for a Week 1 game.
on the first NFL Sunday of the season to say the words “I hate football.” While that is not actually the case, I certainly felt that way watching my Bears get absolutely destroyed *again* at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.
