What a week one. It’s hard to draw too many hard conclusions from just one week of football, but there are some clear winners and losers. You guys know I read PFT a lot, so naturally I start with their Week 2 picks.
Some really good games jump out at me initially.
Jaguars at Jets – this one should be a solid beatdown. The Jets almost got embarrassed – SHOULD have been embarrassed by the Cowboys last week. The Jags are without a bunch of notable starters on both sides of the ball, and look to get pounded by the Jets. The spread on this is 9 which is a lot but I would still give it a go.
Bears at Saints – The Saints lost last week but put up impressive numbers, and a loss to the Champs in week one is nothing to be ashamed of. The Bears on the other hand gave a solid beatdown to “super bowl contenders” the Atlanta Falcons. I bought a half point and took the Bears +7. I feel like their defense will clamp down on DB & Co, and Cutler was surprisingly effective in their first game.
Baltimore at Tennessee – It’s really hard to like a team with HasselNuts at QB. The Ravens looked so good last week in their thorough beating of the Steelers (THE STEELERS!!@!#@!) I had to run with them at -5 1/2.
Philadelphia at Atlanta – The line on this game is -2 1/2. I know Atlanta has to win and they are desperate and all that. Blah blah fucking blah. I think Vick is going to stick the dagger in on this one. He was barely getting warmed up last week!
Anywho, those are my picks. What are YOU betting on?
