NFL Picks for Saturday, August 12, 2006

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

It’s the Saints vs. Titans that we’re looking at tonight. No need to get into many details here. The Saints, as usual, are going to look to establish a “winnimg tradition” in August. They’ll still be 5-11 in January, but at least they might win a game before September. Plus, the Saints are getting 3.5 tonight. Take the Saints and the points.

Buffalo and Carolina might not score more than 2 TD’s tonight. That’s 14 points. They’ll need 7 field goals to get close to the over/under line. Yeah, right. These teams are more likely to wear fancy hats and go to a tea party tomorrow than they are to score 36 points tonight. Take the under. (Hey… I heard tea partys are all that bad!)
