This show will cover anything and everything in the MLB, NHL, and NFL. From fantasy sports to the play on the field, we will cover hot topics of the past week and the week to come. This show will be interactive, as we will have guests and we want to open a dialogue with you, the fans.

On last week's show (#23), we went through our weekly preview package we will have every week. We will pick all local games, offer three picks in what we feel are the toughest games on the schedule, give you our knockout pool pick of the week and the game of the week. For your fantasy lineups, we will also give you some ideas as to who to start and who to bench.
Week 1 Picks (spreads courtesy of Sporting News Today - http://today.sportingnews.com/)
Local Picks * Philadelphia is the road favorite (1) at Carolina: CAR (win and cover) * N.Y. Giants is the favorite (6.5) at home against Washington: NYG (win and cover) * N.Y. Jets is a road dog (4.5) at Houston: NYJ (win and cover) * New England favored by 10.5 points at home against Buffalo (Monday): NE (win), BUF (cover)
Big-Game Picks * Tennessee-Pittsburgh (Thursday) (PIT -5): PIT (win and cover) * Chicago-Green Bay (GBY -3.5): GBY (win), CHI (cover) * Miami-Atlanta (ATL -4): MIA (win and cover)
Knockout Pool Pick - Round 1 Saints (over Lions, Saints are -13)
Game of the Week: Tennessee-Pittsburgh (Thursday) Right off the bat, the best game of the week is the first game of the week. It will be on NBC on Thursday night. Great running backs seem to do well historically against Pittsburgh, but I am still going with Pittsburgh since they are at home and their defense is better overall.
Fantasy Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em Start 'Em: * Anthony Gonzalez/Pierre Garcon (IND vs. JAX) - Jacksonville has trouble in their secondary * Reggie Bush (NO vs. DET) - Pierre Thomas will not be 100% * Eddie Royal (DEN vs. CIN) - Brandon Marshall is not a happy camper
Sit 'Em: * Mark Bradley/Bobby Engram (KCY vs. BAL) - Kansas City will throw, but Baltimore will shut them down * Jamal Lewis (CLE vs. MIN) - His big-game ability is long gone and the Vikings defense is excellent * Laurence Maroney/Fred Taylor (NE vs. BUF) - Brady will throw the ball all over the place in his return We will analyze these picks on our next show (#24), as well as offer a recap on Week 1 action so far, this Sunday, September 13th, from 8-9pm.
