Oldmans NFL Preseason Pick For Friday 8/27/04

[oldmanTED]

Had indicated that I would wait until the start of the regular season as I have yet to put up a win in the preseason going (0-3-1), so be careful.

Rams coming off a road loss on Monday night against Kansas City where, quite frankly, they looked pathetic, particularly Bulger. Chandler and Smoker looked decent. Meanwhile the Redskins have played well both in losing at home to Carolina and winning on the road against Miami. The third game of preseason is generally the final tune up for the regular season as cut down day is early next week and the final game is but a walk through for the regulars. With the Rams travelling back home on either late Monday night or early Tuesday, don't see any time for preparation for the Redskins. In fact Marsh has indicated that he doesn't game plan during the preseason. Meanwhile, expect Gibbs to have his team far more prepared and focused tonight. Situational edge to the Redskins here. Hence,

1* Washington +3 (-115)

Plays are rate 1*-5*.

Good Luck All.

I was surprised more people didn't talk about the lack of preparation for the Rams in this game. After watching the first 2 preseason games, looks like they are just trying to get through it with no more injuries.

I also have a strong lean on the Saints +3 at Chicago. Bears still working in a new offense and defense and the Saints starters should exploit this.

See, this oldman doesn't even know what day of the week it is.

Fair Warning:

Think we see a lot of things similiarly. Don't really have an opinion on the Saints tonight so wishing you the best of luck.

bottom line tonite is that decent teams seldom have 3 bad gms in a row.

Certainly will get no argument from me as I am currently icy! Posted the Rams on Monday. Play against them tonight. I never chase, but certainly feel like a dog chasing it's tail around in circles. Fortunately, the Olympics have been good to me with a boxing future still pending. Bring on the regular season, please!
