Trav – sorry, I should have clarified, I always pick against the spread for the weekly picks.

I’ll take Aaron Rodgers over Matt Cassel any day. Matt Flynn, too. Living in New England, I’ve seen the Pats backups, and they all blow.

Who’da thunk the Packers QB situation would be better than the Pat’s? It is now.

Brady out with a knee. Replaced by Cassel, who has backed up Brady for three years. Sounds familiar? Aaron Rodgers. Starting at his own two, he drove 98 yds. for the score. 51 yd. pass to Moss in the drive.

An experiencd backup is always a good thing to have.

Andy – Quick question, when you makes your weekly predictions, are you picking winner/loser only or taking into account the spread? Just wondering.
