NFL picks: Rub some dirt on that ACL
Lingo tore his ACL in Week 1 but you don't see him rushing to the nearest operating table (cough, Tom Brady) he's going to suck it up and play the rest of the year. Actually, he just figuratively tore his ACL by starting 3-7, but his comeback is already underway. He passed Overton by getting both Monday night picks last week to finish .500. I escaped Week 1 with no ligament damage (and a 2-game lead).

Clay: 10-6
Lingo: 8-8
Overton: 7-9

The NFL rankings are way off. Who's the idiot who choose San Diego over The Denver Bronco's. Did anybody see Jacksonville play mediocre last week? And yet they are ranked 8 spots above the Denver Bronco's. Did the Bronco's not put on a solid performance last week? Oh! I see you guys didn't watch any games last week, because nobody noticed that reliable Kerry Collins has taken over for the weakling Vince Carter, and even they are ranked higher than The Bronco's. Yeah! Real solid win over a mediocre Jacksonville team. You guy's will see an up and coming youthfull Bronco's team that you have zero respect for, and hopefully it will shut you guys up?
