I'll go with Buffalo. Picking NFL preseason is one of the most futile things one can do.

I'll take the Titans - can't cheer for T.O.

Buffalo Bills. They will win it for Ralph Wilson who is being inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday.

But preseason is awesome if you are a fan of one of the teams playing.

I like Jeff Fisher. Go Titans.

I agree. Or if you have spent almost every waking sports moment (non-flames) watching the draft prospect analysis and player transaction commentary. The football played in preseason tends to be pretty ugly.

Titans. VY saying he is going to win a superbowl and get into the HOF? It sounds like he has a lot to prove and might be playing mostly against 2nd and 3rd line players.

Since it is pre-season it means Vince Young is going to get into the game which is only good news for the Bills.

It doesn't matter if it is 1st string, 3rd string or Pee-Wee football players, Young is terrible at reading defenses and throwing the ball.

I expect Tennessee to have a good first half and then Vince will toss it away in the second half.

Buffalo wins a less than exciting game.

Just to clarify my expectations for VY is nothing more then a preseason flash in the pan
