Week 2 NFL Picks

Hopefully I can do better this week than I did last week.  To recap, I went 7-8-1 against the spread and 10-6 straight up.

Here are my picks, what are yours?

Kansas City at Cleveland (-3) - The Chiefs looked impressive against the Chargers and the Browns are without their starting quarterback, Jake Delhomme.  Chiefs 28-10

Buffalo at Green Bay (-12.5) - Buffalo has no chance in this game.  The game will get out of hand early even without a good offensive line or running back for Green Bay.  Aaron Rodgers throws for 400 yards and Packers win.  Packers 41-7

Baltimore (-2.5) at Cincinnati - This is a pretty good matchup.  Last week the Patriots put the Bengals got worked by the Patriots.  The score was not very indicative of how the game was played out.  I think the Bengals will make a better showing and win.  Bengals 13-10

Pittsburgh at Tennessee (-5) - Steelers are likely without nose tackle Casey Hampton and they go against the Titans who have Chris Johnson and the Titans defense.  Titans 17-6

Philadelphia (-6.5) at Detroit - Kolb is out this week with the concussion and Michael Vick is starting.  Vick should have a good game against the weak Lions defense.  Eagles 15-3

Chicago at Dallas (-7) - The Cowboys offensive woes are still troubling but I will take the Cowboys to win. Cowboys 17-14

Tampa Bay at Carolina (-3) - Carolina owns Tampa Bay and with their excellent run game they will win easy.  Panthers 28-10

Arizona at Atlanta (-6.5) - The Cardinals had trouble beating the Rams last week and now travel to play a good Falcons team.  Falcons will look to recover from their overtime last to Pittsburgh last week.  Falcons win easy.  Falcons 35-17

Miami at Minnesota (-5.5) - Dolphins had trouble putting the Bills away last week and Vikings looked inept offensively against the Saints.  Brett Favre may be regretting his decision to come back.  Dolphins 24-20

St. Louis at Oakland (-3) - The Raiders had trouble protecting Jason Campbell last week and its not going to be much easier this week with Rams defensive line.  Having said that, I think they Raiders defense shuts down the Rams.  Raiders 21-17

Seattle at Denver (-3) - Seahawks looked good last week against the 49ers and they should keep on a roll against the Broncos.  Seahawks 17-10

Houston (-3) at Washington - Texans defense was impressive last week against the Colts and so was their run the game.  Texans looks to open up the passing game.  Texans 28-24

Jacksonville at San Diego (-7) - Chargers offense will improve this week but they still will not cover the spread.  Chargers 14-10

New England Patriots (-3) at NY Jets - Can Revis shut down the "slouch" Randy Moss.  It will be a tough day for Tom Brady against the Jets but the Patriots are a better team and prevail.  Patriots 17-10

NY Giants at Indianapolis (-4.5) - Offense will be a premium for this game.  There is no way the Colts go 0-2.  Colts 35-27

New Orleans (-5.5) at San Francisco - There is problems in San Francisco and they probably are not fixed.  Singletary is slowing losing this team with their failures on the offensive side of the ball.  49ers defense will slow down the Saints but not enough to win the game.  Saints 42-14
