Since we were so super trashed at the VIP party (not the one in New York, the one in Jim’s back yard, you know, that one…) for the VMA’s yesterday we totally missed making the picks on all the football games yesterday. But that’s ok because preseason sucks like the movie CB4. So anyway, here are some picks for tonight’s games to tide you over until the real season starts.

TENN @ GB – This game is paradigm. On one hand you have Tennessee whose almost starting QB has demanded a trade and they have signed former Super Bowl appearing QB and regular drunk Kerry Collins. On the other Brett Favre is showing signs of Alzheimer’s claiming this may be the most talented squad he’s played with (psst….he thinks it’s 1996) and GB have like 7 running backs coming back from massive knee repairs.

Bet: $9.00 that someone is going to win (hurry up this game started 4 minutes ago)

CIN @ INDY – You’ll see Peyton and Palmer for a little bit in this final warm up so the first half might be decent. Otherwise, focus on Indy’s running backs (Addai, Rhodes) to see who looks better for your fantasy pool. Then realize that both guys have been taken by other teams and you’re stuck with Priest Holmes not realizing he may never play again. Dumbass.

Bet: $20.00 that in a high scoring affair Cincy’s defense shut’s down Indy’s back up offense in the second half.

PHI @ NYJ – Wait, New York has two teams?????

Bet: Don’t; the line should be quite in favor of the Eagles and you won’t win anything worthwhile. I’m too lazy to look it up but I’m almost never wrong. Or always right. One of those anyway.

SD @ SF – San Francisco showed no signs of being able to beat a PAC-10 team last season and they have added little to change that opinion.

Bet: The Farm; if this was regular season. Since it’s only Preseason and Philip Rivers is still learning, only bet the portion of the farm that doesn’t earn its keep.
