Fantasy Football Babe - 2008 Fantasy Football Picks

That time again where Phearless Phred steps forward with his bold predictions on the outcome of selected games. As always his picks are ATS (against the spread). Phred is bold but not foolish so week one offers only three games instead of his usual five or six.

DALLAS @ CLEVELAND +5.5

Might as well start by picking against a “home dog.” The BROWNS are better in ’08 but no match for the BOYS who will be making a strong case to be NFC rep in Tampa come February. DALLAS has too much talent on both sides of the ball to start the season losing in CLEVELAND.

PICK: COWGIRLS. Get Marion Barber in your fantasy lineup.

St. LOUIS @ PHILADELPHIA -7

Look for Brian Westbrook to have 1000 combined yards IN THIS GAME! On paper the LAMBS did little to stiffen their vanilla pudding defense. I look for Sir Donovan (McNabb) to have a good year and for the IGGLES to make a run in the very tough NFC East. PHILLY probably possesses a top 12 or 13 defense as well.

PICK: EAGLES. Steven Jackson is the only RAM fantasy play given Bulger’s struggles.

MINNESOTA @ GREEN BAY -2.5

This first of two Monday night games should be a low scoring affair featuring two of the leagues tougher defenses. RB Adrian Peterson (VIKING variety) will have better match-ups as the season progresses and so will QB Aaron Rogers but make no mistake, Rogers is a good one!

PICK: PACK. The game is at Lambeau – nuff said.
