Former New England Patriots Cheerleader Alison Preston.

'Keep your head and everything will be cool. You didn't have to make me feel like a fool. When I try to say I feel the way that I do. I want to talk with you. And make it loud and clear. Though you don't care to hear. But 'Couldn't I Just Tell You' the way I feel? I can't keep it bottled up inside' (Todd Rundgren)

And now to 2008 NFL Week 1. I Will Not pick Chicago over Indianapolis at INDY, now there's a no brainer. Its week 1, and I wanna get off to a good start. What else can I say? I also Will Not pick St. Louis over Philly at Philly, same reason as above. However, I am picking San DIEGO over the Carolina Panthers at Home 26 - 16 as my BONUS-LOCK instead. I don't pick against the Chargers at home although the Panthers play good on the road.

In my 50 - 50 games I'll take NEW ORLEANS over Tampa Bay 24 - 20. I also like the JETS this week in another 50 - 50 matchup, over the Dolphins 24 - 20, also covering the 3 point spread, as the favorite. My Fake - Out for NFL Week 1 is BUFFALO over Seattle 20 -17, covering the 1 point spread in this one as well. And my Double - Bonus Fake-out is the RAIDERS over the Broncos 26 - 23. What?

And now, since 'I'll make this 'Loud and Clear'. My LOCK N' LOAD pick for NFL Week 1 is the: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS over the Kansas City Chiefs 41 -20 (covering the 16 point Spread as the favorite.)
