BUTTA PICKS, WEEK 1

Don’t look now. Buttapicks.com is back for a 10th season. When we last left you, FLC won their first league championship. Naperville finally had their parade. Anyway, for the first time ever we have a Week 1 SCHERF BOWL. This is the 20th meeting. Unbelievable! The SCHERF CUP needs to be remodeled as this trophy is as popular as ever. We’ll work on that. ND40 hasn’t seen the CUP in a while and would love to bring it back to North Texas. The big story comes from Red Oak where they bring in a 7 game losing streak. In Red Oak, all they live for is this football team. The fans are pissed after last years shenanigans. “Return of the Beard” is this years rallying cry. Another great matchup brings us two of last years dominant teams, JOE LOU and KC BEES. AP PCS Polls will be released on Tuesday morning.

SCHERF BOWL XX
FLC (0-0) -7 vs ND40 (0-0)
LAST SEASON SERIES: FLC 2-0

The granddaddy of them all turns 20. ND40 is due. ND has lost 4 straight in this game and if you look at the trend ND40 is where the smart money goes. We would like to think that anyway. ND40 QB Pimples is finally ready to go. A fresh ND40 RB Adrian on MNF should be money for ND40. The ND40 WR trio is where the problems are. ND40 will need someone to step up. ND40 TE Witten is the best and he can really help out the pass catching issues with a big performance. DEFENDING LEAGUE CHAMPION FLC has its work cut out for them. The “Supa Bowl hangover” is tough to overcome. NAPERVILLE is still sky high. Anticipation for the season is at a fever pitch. FLC RB Selly Young is a capable back but needs some receptions out of the backfield. FLC QB Gerrard is a good QB but he’ll be hard pressed to score 30. FLC WRs along with TE Winslow are great point producers and are the strength of team. FLC WR Andre will be big this week. ND40 has a good shot to win this one but the WR mismatch is glaring and will kill ND40. FLC keeps the momentum going and wins again.


GOOD GAME OF THE WEEK
KC BEES (0-0) -1 vs JOE LOUIS LIONS (0-0)
LAST SEASON SERIES: JOE 2-1

Last year, these two were AP1 and 2 most of the year, then they got lazy. The big story here. KC BEES QB TOM BRADY going against his former team. JOE LOUIS is still pissed at the guy who single-handedly won at least 10 games…..but that’s “the business” as they say in the porn world. Top to bottom this is a great game. It’s a toss up. Two guys that can make a difference are JOE LOUIS RB Kevin Smith and KC RB Moroney. Whoever steps up wins it by a pinch. We think KC QB Brady will stick it to his unappreciative owner JOE LOU. KC BY 1


NOT TOO BAD GAME OF THE WEEK
T-LICIOUS (0-0) -2 vs MM (0-0)
SEASON SERIES: TIED 1-1

TOILET BOWL CHAMPION TLICIOUS and RB LT are hoping for return to glory. MONTREAL is coming off another cursed season. MM QB Romo is in for a huge game in this one. TLIC has too be very concerned. On the other side of the ball, what can you say about TLIC RB LT. He’ll run for one, catch and run for one and throw one. A tough game to pick for us. We think the WRs on both sides are pretty even. TLIC QB Jake needs to keep up with MM QB Romo…at least keep it close. Its gonna be a close ball game but we feel TLIC will steal this one on MNF. The TLIC MINN DEF is going to break the game open for TLIC. TLIC by a smidgen. A smidgen.


GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
ROSS -5 (0-0) vs BUTTA (0-0)
SEASON SERIES: TIED 1-1

The gut is not ready for the season to start. All she knows is that shes sick of seeing ROSS in the gut pick game. Yes, the gut is a she. BUTTA is coming off their first ever Supa Bowl defeat. ROSS has lost 7 straight. This game is BUTTA QB BIG BEN and WR Santonio VERSES ROSS QB DEREK-A and WR Braylon. Santonio is long for Antonio. Santonio was born in San Antonio. Crazy! The gut likes that stuff. The gut hates Todd Heap though. Who doesn’t? The gut hates this game really. The gut says trading Colston was a big mistake and he hates BUTTA this week. Gut likes ROSS with a big day from ROSS TE Gates. The gut is a hata of everything this week except chicken burritos.
