My whole life changed about a month ago when I went from going to work at 12 midnight to 12 noon. My days off also changed too. So now that I work on Sundays I don’t go to as many Buffalo Bills games as I used to. Tomorrow I will be heading to Ralph Wilson Stadium to probably see my one and only game this season. (Hey you never know. I might come down with something during cold and flu season. Just don’t tell my boss.)  The New York Jets will be coming to town and if they decided to study the tape. (Hopefully they shot their own video last week in New England. I think that they might have a problem borrowing theirs.) They will see that my beloved Bills have changed as much these past four weeks as my life has.

Some People Change is the title on Montgomery Gentry’s latest album, I mean CD. Sorry about that. I keep forgetting that some of you reading this don’t know what a record is. Anyway, besides being a title of a song Some People Change could also describe the Bills defense. Just compare their starting roster tomorrow to the one on opening day. There will be about eight to nine different names on defense. No wonder the Bills rank last in defense. They rank last in offense too. That’s because they made all those changes before the season. The Bills replaced three members of the offense line, and their running back. Tomorrow there will also be a change at quarterback. With J.P. Losman out for a few weeks due to a knee injury rookie Trent Edwards will get his first start.

With all these changes the offense has not had a chance to get any consistency, and has playing out of sync. So there has been a lot of three and outs. This has kept the defense on the field way too long, against Denver, Pittsburgh and New England no less. No wonder they’re all beaten up.

I’m wrapping up a week of vacation. Which is why I am able to go to the game tomorrow. So even with all these changes I’m still picking my beloved Bills to beat the Jets. I’m going with the old saying, “sometimes change is good.” I know I’m grasping at straws, but I’m loyal and just can’t go against my team. So I’m hoping they made just enough good changes to end my vacation on a high note.

I’m also in a Some People Change mood because I saw Montgomery Gentry perform Thursday night at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. If they come anywhere near your area run, don’t walk, to get tickets. Trust me! You will feel like a Lucky Man (or Women) when the show is over. Also don’t forget to give Eddie a standing ovation when he finishes singing Clouds, and it’s ok to wipe a couple of tears from you’re eyes.

Before I get to the rest of my picks I want to thanks Fox Sports radio’s Jorge Sedano, Karen Kay, Marcel Hall, Greg Bergman, Josh “Lord of the Board” Gears, Ben Maller, Julio Flores, Larry Brown, Deb Carson, and Bruce “I hate the Yanks and Dolphins” Jacobs. I would have never survived the overnight shift if it weren’t for all of you! Thanks for the sports talk, and the laughs, during the wee hours of the morning. (See, I do listen to more than just country music) Good luck, to the few of you, who have made changes, and moved on to bigger and better things.

Now on to the games, I’m feeling a little cocky this week because I went five for six last week. That makes me 8-4 for the season. Since I didn’t pick week one I'll do a Millers 7oz pony eight pack to make up a few games. Remember, I like my beer straight up so there will be no points. Besides the Bills being my upset special I’ll take two more home upsets, the Lions over the Bears and the Cardinals over the Steelers. The Bear have a great defense, but have more problems on offense than just quarterback. As far as the Cardinals they have not played that bad these last three weeks. Now if they can only learn to stop beating themselves. Also how much do you think Ken Whienhunt and Russ Grim want to beat their old team after being passed up for head coach. Being Pittsburgh’s old offense coordinator and offense line coach has got to help. Think they know the personal?

My Road Warriors this week are the Packers over the Vikes, Texans over Falcons, and Pats over the Bengals on Monday night. At home I like the Cowboys over the Rams. The Chiefs are just the cure for the Chargers at home. Look for Rivers, Gates, and Tomlinson to have a big day. Look for San Diego’s defense to have a bigger day against KC’s offense line. Finally, stay far far away from Bucs vs Panthers and Giants vs Eagles. These could go either way. Enjoy the games and Embrace Change!
