NFL Week 2 Pick Suggestions


5. New England Patriots(-3 1/2) vs. San Diego Chargers
Zero. That is how much the whole controversy from this week is going to effect the Patriots. This should be a shootout. As good as the Patriots looked last week, their Defense was nothing out of the ordinary. However, their offense could obviously do whatever they wanted against the Jets. I expect much of the same this weekend, except maybe just maybe Brady gets hit once in awhile this week.

4. Detroit Lions (-3 1/2) vs. Minnesota Vikings
I'll keep on picking the Lions to cover the spread until people stop sleeping on them. I like the Vikings Defense a lot this year, but Tarvaris leaves a lot to be desired. Again I just don't think a field goal is enough of a point spread here.

3. Seattle Seahawks (-2 1/2) vs. Arizona Cardinals
I'm a little favorite heavy this weekend, but the Seahawks should be able to go into Arizona and run the ball all over the Cardinals and a 2 1/2 point spread is pretty much just predicting whether the Seahawks are going to win or not. And I definitely think the Seahawks win this game.

2. Cincinnati Bengals (-6 1/2) at Cleveland Browns
Welcome to the NFL Vegas, did you not know that the Browns gave up millions of points last week to a Steelers team that is significantly less explosive than the Bengals offense. The Browns can't make up their mind who is going to quarterback their team and their defense is atrocious, a touchdown is nothing to give in this matchup.

1. New Orleans (-3 1/2) at Tampa Bay
Apparently because New Orleans played like crap in their season opener that they are not very good, because how else can you explain only giving a fg to the Bucs who just might be the worst team in the entire NFL. Come on this ones a gimmee.

Survivor League Pick

I debated over this pick for a long time between Jacksonville, Denver, Cincy and Chicago and eventually decided to go with Denver because they are home and the Raiders are uncertain whom their starting quarterback will be this week. So lets ride the Broncos in week 2.

Whoa Whoa Whoa...as good as the Patriots looked last year their defense was nothing special?

They set the franchise record for least amount of points allowed in a season, and they were 2nd in the NFL behind only Baltimore in points allowed...I believe they even beat out Chicago.

Anyways carry on. I know we Patriots fans don't really have a lot of pull right now but thought I'd correct you

I meant last week against the Jets. My bad. Corrected the word.

And they weren't that good on Defense against the Jets last week, they would have given up more points if the Pats didn't have the ball for a 12 minute rush fest in the 4th quarter.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
