Week 2 Picks

So, last week my picks were pretty bad. The few upsets that I had did not go according to plan, and some of the guranteed wins were upset. However, I managed to pull the week even at 8-8 and things should improve as we see what each team can offer. So here are my picks. Again please comment with your picks or any upsets you see coming

Bears vs Packers - This is a deep and fantastic rivalry that has gotten a lot of attention recently because both teams are playing very well. The Packers are coming off of a loss to the 49ers at home and have got to be angry over some of the officiating. The Bears just beat up on the Colts and are looking for a real test this week. Although I have the Bears going to the Superbowl, the is no way the Packers lose two straight games to open the season, especially both of them being at home. It will be a good and close game however. Packers win.

Chiefs vs Bills - Both teams just got blown out last week. Bills are dealing with a lot of injuries, but should still be the better team. Its a close one, but Bills win.

Browns vs Bengals - The Browns almost upset the Eagles last week, the Bengals got embarassed by the Ravens. The Browns are still going to be starting rookie QB Weeden, and as long as he starts this season the Browns are going to lose. Bengals win.

Vikings vs Colts - Andrew Luck looked pretty good for his first game last week, but the offensive line did not. The Vikings have a good defense and some good weapons on offense. Vikings should win, but its close. Vikings win.

Saints vs Panthers - The Saints defense was shredded last week against the coming out party for RG3. Cam Newton will probably have a good game against the Saints weak defense, but Brees and Co should manage to put enough points up to win. Saints were asleep during the first half last week. I don't see the Saints falling to 0-2. Saints win.

Texans vs Jaguars - Houston looked pretty good against the Dolphins last week, but most teams do. They get another easy opponent this week and should cruise to a 2-0 start. Texans win.

Raiders vs Dolphins - Raiders lost a close one to the Chargers on Monday. With the Fins still going with a rookie QB the Raiders should notch a win, but it'll be closer than most people think. Raiders win.

Cardinals vs Patriots - The Cards inked out a win over the Seahawks last week. Now they get to play one of the best teams in the league. Kevin Kolb may have saved his job last week, but he could easily lose it this week. Patriots win.

Buccaneers vs Giants - The Giants have had ten days to think about their loss to the Cowboys. They should be ready to win, but they are the Giants. You never know what kind of ball they will play at the begining of the season. However, Eli doesn't let his team go 0-2. Giants win.

Ravens vs Eagles - The Eagles barely beat the lowly Browns. Vick threw 4 interceptions against a bad defense. The Ravens blew out a playoff team, Joe Flacco looked better than he's ever looked. Ravens win, and win easily. Eagles start to rethink their offensive gameplan. Ravens win.

Redskins vs Rams - RG3 should continue to amaze. The Rams will try hard, but in the end they will regret trading down for all those picks and not taking RG3. Skins win.

Cowboys vs Seahawks - The Cowboys are feeling good after beating the Giants. Seahawks almost beat the Cardinals, even though they were given 4 timeouts. Cowboys should win again, but only if their offense plays like they did last week. Romo is the key, and he should come through. Cowboys win.

Jets vs Steelers - The Jets surprised everyone when they put up 48 points against the Bills. Don't expect the same outporing of offense, but the Jets will get some scores in on the Steelers. However, the Steelers will be ready to put some points up of their own. An extra week of practice for WR Mike Wallace should help a lot, and should get his team the win. Steelers win,

Titans vs Chargers - The Chargers actually looked good last week. Maybe the Chargers can fingure out how to use the talent they have on both sides of the ball. The Titans still don't have many weapons at WR, and QB Jake Locker is hurt with a shoulder injury although he should play. Chargers should win and go to 2-0. Chargers win.

Lions vs 49ers - The Lions scraped by the Rams last week. Thats never something you want to hear about your team. The 49ers just went into Green Bay and solidly beat the Packers. 49ers win, and continue to show everyone that last year was not a fluke.

Broncos vs Falcons - Both teams played super well last week. This will be a good game and should be really close. However, I don't quite trust Matt Ryan to win a game like this, and Peyton Manning is back in a dome. Manning goes crazy and wills his team to a win, and a 2-0 start. Broncos win.

Last week: 8-8
Season: 8-8
