Pickin on the NFL: Thursday Night Special

As always, my picks are for entertainment purposes only, so if you put $500 on the Raiders one week just because I picked them to win…well you put your faith in a guy named ‘Fatpickle’ nuff said. The rest of the schedule and winners will be posted before Sunday’s action but here is your Thursday Night game winner.

The previous 44 Super Bowl winners are 36-7-1 in the first game of the season following their Super Bowl win. Drew Brees and the Saints will be playing at home in front of a fired up crowd. Brett Favre is without his top target in Sidney Rice. Saints win, maybe by more than I’ve predicted.
