Pick 'Em - Week 2

1. Steelers (-6) over TEXANS
Looks like Big Ben will actually be playing. Looks like Duece Staley will be the backup. Looks like the Texans need a new coach that realizes his QB is average at best and his back is a beast. Looks like I'm going against the points.

2. BENGALS (-3) over Vikings
I will forever love Dante Culpepper for handing me a week 1 fantasy victory or was it Carson Palmer that handed it to me after finally maturing? Either way I don't see either of these guys devaiting from those performances this week.

3. JETS (-6) over Dolphins
The Jets blow.
The Dolphins blow.
Last week was just an aberration for the Dolphins, this will surely be a battle of the mediocre and I fully admit I am picking the Jets based solely on my love for their coach. He plays to win the game.

4. LIONS (-1.5) over Bears
Charles Rogers is injured again, so that leave the lions with only 80 of the top 100 wideouts in the league. However the Bears do have a team that almost beat the totally inept Redskins last week………..

5. TITANS (+3.5) over Ravens
Did the Ravens get an offense this year? Nope.
Do the Titans still have a decient offense? Yup.

That being said, if the Ravens do win this week I would love it. Imagine Kyle Boller get injured, being boo'd by his own fans and then never getting the starting job back?? That could be the theme for this season. Starters getting injured and never coming back. Patrick Ramsey, Duece Staley and now Boller (yes I am taking a leap of faith of Staley here, but come on he has started what? 2 games in the black and gold?)

6. EAGLES (-13) over Niners
Niners vs. Dolphins will be the match-up of the year for some the analysts out there don't believe the hype

7. Jaguars (+9) over COLTS
Matt Jones will be R.O.Y. this year. He will throw a pass to Leftwich for the game winning TD. Ok maybe not but 9 is a LOT of points.

8. Bills (+2.5) over BUCS
Did you watch the Bills defense last week? I mean seriously how many points can the Bucs put up against these guys?

9. Patriots (-3) over PANTHERS
Panthers lost to the Saints last weekend in a game that should have never been close, now they gotta play the champs?? When will these guys START a season on the right foot?

10. Falcons (+1) over SEAHAWKS
Seahawks will probably win their division this year.

They will only need 8 wins to do this however

11. CARDS (-1) over Rams
Can Mike Martz screw this one up too?? I can't wait for the Martz blowup this year. Last year's speech about everything being his way and if you don't like it, leave and all that….it was just great. I got dibs on this year's being even better. And the Cards will run the ball for once and try to actually protect Mr. Bledsoe ..err… Warner

12. Chargers (+3) over BRONCOS
Prediction: At some point this year, probably after a Raiders/Broncos game Kerry Collins and Jake Plummer will become great drinking buddies.

They will get trashed, slap women, and talk about when they had promissing careers in the NFL.

13. PACKERS (-6) over Browns
I never liked the Browns, just something about them.
That and Bret Farve has a habit of being awfull one week, bouncing back the next, and then being awful for 5 or 6 weeks lately. I think he likes to play games with analysts.

14. RAIDERS (+1) over Chiefs
Raiders at home, with Randy Moss.
I could see Larry Johnson doing great here though, he beats women. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oakland fans cheering him on. (Just shake the women Larry, don't hit…just shake)

15. Redskins (+6) over COWBOYS
After trying his best last week Drew Bledsoe will find a way to loose this week.


16. GIANTS (-3) over SAINTS
I am a true homer.
Brandon Jacobs owns your mom.


Best things to look for this weekend:

Me at the Giants vs. Saints game

Those Burger King commercials where they superimpose the King onto NFL Players. (I personally can't wait till they do this with defense hits. Like imagine the king as Ray Lewis just completely nailing a guy and causing a fumble. Or maybe Ed Reed when he went after Ramsey last year and caused him to fumble then picked up and ran it for a TD…I just wanna see the King Wreck some ass. Possibly even Shockey or someone else bowling over defenders after grabing a pass or maybe a Priest Holmes jump over some guys. Maybe even a coach freakin out on the sidelines, or tossing a stupid flag a la Mike Martz. The possibilities are endless.)
