YESTERDAY ZACK HIT TWO MORE PRESEASON WINNERS WITH THE UNDER ON THE 49ERS/CHIEFS AND THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. THE SAINTS GAME ALMOST TOOK A HORRIBLE TURN AFTER THE SAINTS WERE UP 23-0, BUT THEY SQUEEZED OUT THE WIN. THAT BRINGS MY PRESEASON RECORD TO 8-3. TODAY I HAVE TWO MORE PREMIUM PLAYS OFFERED IN THE TODAY’S PICKS SECTION. FOR A FREE PLAY WINNER I’LL GIVE YOU THE GREEN BAY AND ST. LOUIS TOTAL OF 41. ST. LOUIS’S DEFENSE WAS TORCHED A WEEK AGO BUT I’M GOING TO UNDER PLAY THAT. CLEVELAND SHOWCASED THIS WEEK THAT THEY’VE BEEN MORE OF THE AGGRESSIVE STYLE OF OFFENSE THAN ANY PRESEASON TEAM THUS FAR, WHILE MOST ARE DOING THE BASICS. THEY’RE TRYING TO GET THEIR YOUNG QUARTERBACK BRANDON WEEDEN PREPARED FOR THE SEASON, AND ARE NOT AFRAID TO RUN THEIR PERSONNEL PACKAGES.

JEFF FISHER IS A DEFENSIVE MINDED COACH AND SURELY WAS ALL OVER HIS FIRST,SECOND, AND THIRD STRING DEFENSIVE PLAYERS ALL WEEK LONG. GREEN BAY ON THE OTHER HAND WAS THE ONLY TEAM THAT FAILED TO SCORE IN PRESEASON OF WEEK ONE. OFFENSIVELY THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE, AND ARE NOT GOING TO FORCE THE ISSUE WITH AARON RODGERS. I EXPECT ONE SERIES AND MAYBE TWO OUT OF RODGERS TODAY. THIS TOTAL SHOULD BE MORE IN THE RANGE OF 37/38, AND SHOULD BE AN EASY UNDER PLAY, AS VINCE YOUNG WILL LIKELY GET A QUARTER OR TWO OF PLAY IN HIS FIRST ACTION IN FOOTBALL IN OVER A YEAR.
