NFL Picks for Week 2
Here we are Week 2 in the NFL and the landscape has changed quite a bit. Some major injuries, some crappy teams playing surprisingly well, and some great teams playing shockingly bad. Where does it leave us? I truly don’t know since it has only been one week. My overall score for week one thou was a nice cool 10-6. So even with some shocking outcomes I’m still plus 500. The highlight of the week for me thou was nailing the New Orleans / Tampa Bay game, as I accurately predicted a 24-20 final. Let’s see if we can keep it up. Here’s the week two picks.

Sunday

Cincinnati 27, Tennessee 21
UPSET - Buffalo 20, Jacksonville 13
Oakland 17, Kansas City 10
Indianapolis 27, Minnesota 17
Carolina 20, Chicago 16
LOCK - Green Bay 31, Detroit 17
NY Giants 24, St. Louis 20
New Orleans 27, Washington 13
Tampa Bay 20, Atlanta 17
Seattle 24, San Francisco 10
New England 24, NY Jets 21
San Diego 34, Denver 27
Arizona 24, Miami 14
Pittsburgh 30, Cleveland 20

Monday
Houston 24, Baltimore 17
Dallas 34, Philadelphia 24.

Yes, Buffalo is my upset pick of the week again. The Jags are heavily favored by about 6 depending who you bet with. Why are they favored so high I have no clue. Buffalo’s got a very solid team and Jax just lost over half of their offensive line. This is an easy pick in my opinion.

Almost no one is taking New England this week which I think is a major mistake. This is going to be a hard fought mostly defensive battle as both of these teams hate each other. The Patriots always find a way to win these close nail biters (minus last year’s Super Bowl of course), and I think they find a way again and send the Jets faithful home very upset.

Overall Record 10-6
Upset Pick 1-0
Lock of the Week 0-1
Scores predicted 100% correct - 1

Nice picks. I got Denver over San Diego and Philly over Dallas. Should be a good weekend of football though!

My upset of the week comes on Monday night with Philly taking down the Cowboys. You can see my week 2 picks below:

I fail to see the relationship between Week 2 picks and a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, but I appreciate it none the less. Your picks seem reasonable, but we all know how the NFL goes. Who would have thought Atlanta would go nuts last week, or that Indy would have lost?

Hey, great call with Buffalo! That was a big-time performance by the Baby Bills. Looks like the word is out on them though. They are 10-point favorites over Oakland this weekend.
