NFL Week 2

[double_j]

3-3 on the year so far. Just hoping to stay at .500 this week and the hope I can pick up some wins later in the season.

Week 2 picks:

Saints vs. 49er's (Monday) - Saints giving 6, I expect that they'll cover to make up for their relatively lackluster performance in week one vs. the Vikings and the 9er's near implosion Saints -6

Texans and Redskins - Texans giving 3. Washington is getting credit for beating Dallas but I think that was more an issue with the Cowboys than anything else. Texans -3

Patriots vs. Jets - the bookies must know something because Brady and crew are only giving 3 in the opening lines. Maybe they're counting on a Jets team that's too hungry to lose at a new home twice in a row, or maybe they're thinking the Jets D will hold solid and Sanchez will find solid footing. Regardless, after watching the Pats destroy Cincinatti last week, you have to go with the favorites. Patriots -3

Giants vs. Colts - Colts are giving 5 to the G-men on the East Coast. I do think Peyton is going to come back strong after a weak opener but again, he rarely covers early in the year. The bookies are expecting a gunslinger's paradise but I think both sides will count on ball control and long possessions. I'm going with the O/U instead of picking a side Under 48

Fade of the week - Green Bay is giving 13.5 to Buffalo in the biggest line of the week. I like Rodgers and all, but 13.5 is a bit steep. If there were a gun to my head, I'd take Buffalo against the line but since there's not, I won't. No play

I like the Texans -3, Redskins won't be able to shut down AJ, and their offense isn't good enough to keep up with the Texans.

I think the 49er's will win against the Saints. Singletary is a tough coach, and these guys had their butts kicked all week. 49er's defense is alot better than they played as well. I wouldn't touch this game.

Patriots vs. Jets. As a Jet fan, I never would bet this game too many emotions to cloud betting judgement. Based on last weeks performance I'd say the Patriots will easily cover the 3 points, but the Jets offense should be better than last week. Jets usually win at home, so it's a bit risky. If I was betting with my head only I'd take the Pats.

Giants vs Colts - I see Eli and Peyton having a shootout which means alot of yards and points. Both teams put up more than enough points to go over (Colts - 24, Giants 31) last week. I'd take the over. I prefer to take the Colts outright, as 5 points is a gift. They should easily win by a TD or 2 FG's.

Jets are going 0-2. The offense sucks. Revis has a aggravated hamstring going up against Moss. Welker will demonstrate how to play short ball. Belichick has his rookie safeties and linebackers tuned in early. Sanchez will be the next Pennington fairly soon. NY could possibly pull it off if they pound the ball on the ground. New England gave up some defensive size for speed, and I think they are vulnerable against a good running team.

49'ers........... no chance in hell.

Giants - Colts : Depends on the Giants getting enough pressure on Payton. If they pressure him....Giants win. Payton sucks when he gets happy feet.

Texans - Skins: If the Texans offense/defense looks like it did last week, Skins loose. McChoke will throw 2-3 interceptions.

[bogeyhitter25]

Michael Vick's going to throw for 497 yards with 7 TDs via passing. And 321 yards with 4 TDs running.

And the Eagles will still lose.

So much for my picks.......... gasp!

Packers are 2-0 .... that's the only picking I ever do ....

As are my Buccaneers. If you'd have told me that they'd be 2-0 after two weeks, I'd have had you committed. Josh Freeman is playing like an NFL quarterback and the defense seems to be playing much better as well.

Ugh. 0-1-1 so far. Need runner runner tonight and tomorrow to stay whole.

Oh it feels so good compared to last season.

I will have to admit this tho....Peyton & Clark...baddest combo

As a Browns fan.....well you're welcome for week 1!!!

TEXANS are 2-0! WHAT WHAT!!

I wouldn't be surprised if they steam roll the Cowgirls next week!

[double_j]

Ouch! 0-3-1 for the week, bringing my year to 3-6-1. Down 3.6 units. And that, my friends, is why I have a day job.

At least now I have some data to work with. Bring on week 3!

[Slammin' Sam]

TEXANS are 2-0! WHAT WHAT!!

Considering the inconsistency of the Cowboys offense against Chicago I wouldn't rule it out.

[JWL1957]

I dont think any team played as poorly as the Patriots.
