Hey friends! I was wondering last week when I did the first picks column if I should just do a Thursday pick column and then do the rest of the picks later. For Week 1, I felt good doing them all at once, and it ended up working out if you bet on the 49ers & Lions on Thursday based off of what I said. At the time I told you the 49ers would cover, the spread was 7.5. It got up to 9 on Sunday, and everybody told me how the Lions made an incredible cover. They did, for slackers that waited until 12:59 on Sunday.

As it turns out, I needed to do a lot of wrestling reviews this week since people that wrestling readers actually care about weren’t available. So my time ended up occupied, and the best thing I can do right now is give you my Thursday pick.

Thursday, September 16

So this is the one season I don’t have Sterling Shepard in any fantasy leagues. That pretty much guarantees it will be his breakout season, right? As breakout a season as one could have on a Giants team that is going absolutely nowhere. Some people possibly thought that they would show some fight against the Broncos in their home opener. Those people were disappointed. The only reason the Giants even have a snowball’s chance in Stamford of winning this Thursday night doohickey is because of their opposition.

The Football Team has Taylor Heinicke quarterbacking them now that Ryan Fitzpatrick fell down and broke his hip. A common ailment for old folks, sad to say. This is why I don’t understand the current trend of NFL teams not investing in backup quarterbacks, or quarterbacks in general in the case of this Football Team. Y’all had Ryan Fitzpatrick running your offense, which was cute because we all love FitzMagic. But when he goes down, this is what you’re running out there and telling us it’s ok? Jeez Louise.

I want nothing to do with either of these teams going forward. I’ll take the Giants just because they’re getting 3 points. Just two messes right here that we’ll watch because there’s only Impact Wrestling on otherwise.

Thanks for reading! I’ll be back before Sunday with the rest of the Week 2 picks!
