It's that time of year again, ladies and gentlemen. . .the NFL season is nearly upon us, and that means it's time for your NFL picks. I will apologize in advance for the brevity of this column, and will endeavor for more analysis and so forth as the weeks progress, but for this week, it's just going to be the basics. We'll do picks straight-up and against the spread.
I will not be picking the Vikings' games this season, either, because. . .well, I'll admit it, the objectivity factor just isn't there. So, with that said, here we go.
