Thursday night’s game between Green Bay and Chicago was not quite what I expected. Green Bay did win the game but Jay Cutler’s and the Bears’ o-line looked awful to say the least. Here are my picks for week 2:
Chiefs vs. Bills
The Chiefs look to rebound after a poor outing in week 1. If Fitzpatrick continues to turn the ball over like he did last week KC’s chances are good. Although CJ Spiller is a great fill in for Jackson, I just don’t see the Bills hanging around this week either.
Pick: Chiefs
Saints vs. Panthers
The Saints losing to the Skins was the upset of the week. Meanwhile Cam looked mediocre struggling offensively. Look for the Saints to bounce back in this one as with the help of turnovers and a Brees take-over.
Pick: Saints
Browns vs. Bengals
The Browns are just as bad as last year. The Bengals D is good enough to slow down the talented Trent Richardson. Look for Cincy to rebound after last week also.
Pick: Bengals
Vikings vs. Colts
Neither the Vikings or the Colts offense looked all that great last week. Luck looks to target Wayne ALOT next tomorrow as the Vikings will look to shut down the Colts only weapon. Meanwhile Peterson looked as good as new, fully recovered from his injury and migraine free Harvin will rack up those all-purpose yards.
Pick: Vikings
Texans vs. Jaguars
The Texans will run up and down the Jaguars, although they look better than last year. With a healthy Andre Johnson and the loaded backfield of Foster and Tate, Jacksonville will have trouble keeping up.
Pick: Texans
Raiders vs. Dolphins
The Dolphins can’t rely on Bush to cary the load. The Raiders meanwhile are loaded with speed and a ready McFadden. The Dolphins will have trouble in the possible low scoring game.
Pick: Raiders
Cardinals vs. Patriots
The Cardinals can’t keep up with the Patriots regardless who starts at QB. They might slow down New England’s offense but can’t stop it. The underrated Cards D can’t save them this time.
Pick: Patriots
Buccaneers vs. Giants
The Giants will need Nicks to be 100% this year as the Bucs looked improved. Doug Martin was as
advertised and Tampa now has more weapons than last year. The Giants always get a slow start to the year but this week they will get the victory.Pick: Giants
Ravens vs. Eagles
Vick struggled to to produce any offensive continuity. The Ravens however looked like an elite team much like last year. The Ravens will take this one.
Pick: Ravens
Cowboys vs. Seahawks
The Cowboys defense will rattle Russell Wilson and shut down Lynch. Romo has too many weapons for the Seahawks mediocre team to overcome.
Pick: Cowboys
Redskins vs. Rams
RG3 looked like the real deal, beating the offensive juggernaut Saints. Bradford has the ability to put up yards but will struggle to find the endzone. Look for the RG3 train to continue for now.
Pick: Redskins
Jets vs. Pittsburgh
No Revis this week but Pitts defense is also fighting injuries. Big Ben is more poised to put up large
numbers however. Look for Antonio Brown to light it up this week.Pick: Steelers
Titans vs. Chargers
The Titans will keep up with the Chargers and look for a surprisingly close game. Chris Johnson might finally break as Ryan Mathews still won’t play a full game (if play at all). This is my upset this week as the Titans look to shock the always slow starting Chargers.
Pick: Titans
Lions vs. 49ers
Matthew Stafford did not look like a top 5 QB last week as he had a tough time getting any rhythm on offense. The 49ers on the other hand got to showcase their new offensive prowless. Davis who has also been the focal point along with Gore (who tore it up last week by the way) wasn’t involved at all. Look for the 49ers to continue their winning ways by doubling up on the best Wr in the game, exploiting the Lions unbalanced offense.
Pick: 49ers
Broncos vs. Falcons
Manning once in the no huddle looked like Manning. The Falcons offense looked scary once Julio Jones became the focal point rather than the always consistent although deteriorating Roddy White. Look for these two QB’s to shoot it out against each-other. I think the Falcons are a better team overall and will do a better job at keeping the opposition off the field.
Pick: Falcons
Enjoy week 2 everybody!!!
