Week 2 lines

So, to be honest, Week 1 was a bit goofy. Jug did something we've all expected might happen for years now - hitting the FeaturePick on the nuts, not having anonymous sex with Prince in a downtown Minneapolis club. Yours truly stumbled through my first week via a random internet cafe in lovely Breckenridge, CO toward a somewhat late filing for the week's results. And then won the week flying largely blind. For the members of our current cadre, however, we went 4-0 based on our hometeam allegiances in what bodes well for, well, at least a week worth of a season. The Seahawks, Broncos, Vikings and Packers all won. Which leads me to surmise that we represent a nice microcosm of the NFL's hopes "any doofus can win this phucker" mantra for 2004-05. In my self-interest, I was especially pleased by the Pack's performance on Monday in Carolina. I'd Tivo'd it (my new best friend) because Sarah and I went out to dinner with new medical/liberal/abortival friends and I wanted to seem supportive of the bread-winner in my household and her respectible ilk. Thereafter, I watched the MNF offering, sans commercials, until 1am PST. One of the best football experiences in recent memory on my end. So I hope y'all otherwise are feelin' something like the luck and the love that I've been ridin' like a brand-new pony all week.

That being said, this week's lines are as follows (home team in CAPS, as per usual):

Denver by 3 JACKSONVILLE
BALTIMORE by 3½ Pittsburgh
DETROIT by 3 Houston
TENNESSEE by 1 Indianapolis
GREEN BAY by 8½ Chicago
Washington by 3 NEW YORK GIANTS
NEW ORLEANS by 7½ San Francisco
ATLANTA by 2 St. Louis
KANSAS CITY by 6 Carolina
Seattle by 3 TAMPA BAY
DALLAS by 4½ Cleveland
New England by 8 ARIZONA
OAKLAND by 3 Buffalo
New York Jets by 3 SAN DIEGO
CINCINNATI by 5.5 Miami
PHILADELPHIA by 3 Minnesota

Let's go crazy. Let's go nuts. Or something to that effect. Hope all's well.
