NFL Week 2 Picks with Odds

I did pretty well picking the NFL on the 1st week of real competition. I went 10-5-1. The Seahawks/Broncos were a push.

On an interesting not, all 7 new Head Coaches in the NFL lost. That has never happened before.

The Steelers were either very disappointing or the Browns are much better than we think. A tie could come back to haunt the Steelers come playoff time.

The Saints were favored by a large margin and lost outright to the Buccaneers, without Jamies Winston.

The Bears came close to beating the Packers. It took another Aaron Rodgers effort to hold them off. With a stellar defense and a no mistakes defense, the Bears could threaten the Packers and the Vikes this year.

What can you say about the Lions. They looked pathetic on Monday night, losing 48-17 to a Jets team with a rookie QB. The OL was terrible in protecting Safford.

So...let's get on with the picks for Week 2:

Thursday

(LOSS) RAVENS (-1) @ Bengals     Maybe too early to tell but Flacco has competition this year

Sunday

(WIN) PANTHERS @ Falcons (-6)    Falcons come back with a renewed offensive strategy
(WIN) CHARGERS (-9) @ Bills    The Bills are bad and it's not early enough for cold weather
(PUSH) VIKINGS (even) @ Packers    Rodgers injured? Vikes better offensively than Bears
(WIN) Texans (-1) @ TITANS     Just a guess but Titans at home should win
(WIN) BROWNS @ Saints (-10)     Early but these odds seem high for a team that lost to the Bucs
(LOSS) Dolphins @ JETS (-2.5)     J E T S Jets. Hope springs eternal
(WIN) CHIEFS @ Steelers (-4)     Chiefs are better than the Browns
(LOSS) EAGLES (-3) @ Buccaneers     Eagles defense is better that the Saints
(LOSS) Colts @ REDSKINS (-6)     A lot of points to give but the 'Skins are in the NFC East
(WIN) Cardinals @RAMS (-14)     Very large odds but Cardinals are bad
(LOSS) Lions @ 49ERS (-7)     Lions bad...49ers average. When was the last time 49ers by 7
(LOSS) Raiders @ BRONCOS (-6)     Broncos let me down last week...one more shot
(LOSS) PATRIOTS (even) @ Jaguars     Could be the upset of the week...but Brady
(WIN) Giants @ COWBOYS (-3)     Toss up OBJ better be at his best

Monday

(WIN) Seahawks @ BEARS (-3)     The "Mack Attack" does in the "Legion of Gloom|
