NFL Week 2: Picks

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons - Note to Jake; watch Matty. Watch him. You might learn something. Actually, Jake isn't that bad and Carolina might steal this one.

Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions - For the sake of this game, please, please let Brett throw the ball.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Green Bay Packers - What crazy way will the Bengals find to lose this one?

Arizona Cardinals @ Jacksonville Jaguars - Arizona were desperate on the East coast last year. The Jags are desperate for a passing game.

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs - The Matt Cassel Era is ready to burst out of KC. I see posters, mugs, action figures, lunch boxes...

New England Patriots @ New York Jets - So Kerry Rhodes 'called out' the Pats. Is that even news? While the league may have gone soft on the field, it certainly has gone soft off it. The player interviews are so manicured that not even a hard-hitting safety can get me, or his opponents Sunday, fired up. Where's the crazy eyes? Where's the random head bucking? Where's a freaking swear word? Get Rex Ryan on the phone...

New Orleans Saints @ Philadelphia Eagles - If McNabb ain't playing, I ain't buying.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans - Should be close. Should be good. Won't be on tv.

St. Louis Rams @ Washington Redskins - The Rams haven't won since Steven Jackson ran all over a Brad Johnson-lead Cowboys team back in week 7 of 2008 and have averaged 12.4 points a game in that span. Even the Skins can manage 13 points.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills - Won't be close. Won't be good. Will be on tv.

Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers - Early NFC West supremacy on the line in the division nobody really cares about.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Chicago Bears - Note to Jay; If you thought that Packers defence was good...

Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos - Last week Cincy, this week the Browns, next week the Raiders. Could Kyle and Josh go 3-0?

Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers - 'Air Flacco' comes to town in one of the week's most enticing ties. Will LT ever be fit again? Injuries have limited him the last couple of years and, now fit and on my fantasy team, he suffers an ankle injury and will miss the game.

And in the pansy powder blue corner, weighing in at a buck 81 dripping wet, the franchise, Darrrrrrrrrrren Sprolesssssssssss!

New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys - Jamie Dukes asked the question 'do you trust Tony Romo?' Answer; no. Glad we got that one sorted. 50 years from now, they won't be calling it the house that Romo built. Or Jerry for that matter.

Indianapolis Colts @ Miami Dolphins - I can't wait to get to know Jim Caldwell...

Season so far; 14-2
