NFL Picks: Week 2.
Don't allow Week 1 to set the pace for who you think will be the top dogs within the NFL. Week 1 essentially means nothing. For example, the Eagles have gone 0-2 twice within the last four years, and ended up making it to the NFC title game. The Pats went 0-2 a few years ago....and won the Super Bowl. Thus, this won't mean a thing.
Week 2 will get us some more clarification, but once again, take it for a grain a salt. Enjoy the games today for what they are: good football games. Maybe we'll get a shocker or two, but I doubt it.
Last week I went.....11-5. Not bad, but a few I got wrong (Atl/Philly, Carolina/N.O., Jets/K.C.) were crucial ones.
Let's see if I can do better. My picks:
Baltimore over Tennessee
Detroit over Chicago
Cincinnati over Minnesota
Philly over San Francisco
Buffalo over Tampa Bay
Indianapolis over Jacksonville
*sighs* New England over Carolina (I really hope this is my only loss this week)
Pittsburgh over Houston
Arizona over St. Louis
Atlanta over Seattle
Miami over the Jets
Cleveland over Green Bay (upset special)
San Diego over Denver
Oakland over Kansas City
and for the Monday Night Doubleheader: The Giants over The Saints, and Dallas over Washington.
This week, Bret Favre continues on his retirement tour, Peyton Manning returns to form, Atlanta continues to fool people into thinking they're the best team in the league, and Jets fans start to wonder if they can compete in what has to be considered as the toughest division in the league.
Enjoy it.
