“Dedicated hunter, waits to pull us under…” - Opeth, Ghost of Perdition

This season, Horsetoothed.com will attempt to do something we haven’t done before, and that’s provide predictions on the games, week by week against the betting line.  Should anyone actually put any money on teams based on the predictions given here, I predict complete monatary failure of said individual, as I probably blow at predicting games with points involved.  Today we’ll tackle just Thursday’s game, as I have some bullshit to take care of, but Friday (when this column will normally be run), we’ll have the rest of this weeks picks.

-Thursday, 04SEPT08, Washington at NY Giants (-4)

Key Injuries Washington

• Jason Taylor, DE (questionable)
• Antwaan Randle El, WR (probable)

Key Injuries Giants

• Osi Unmenyiora, DE (out)

The Giants host the Washington Manifest Denstiny’s with the Thursday kickoff game for this NFL season.  The way they kicked the shit out of Cleveland alone has me thinking that this four points Washington is spotted is not enough.  Look for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew to come out and make their most famous fan (Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force) proud.

Horsetoothed’s pick: New York Giants

Tomorrow: How fucked the Republicans are with the dumb bitch they picked as McCain’s running mate and the “riots” at the Republican National Convention.
