NFL PICKS, WEEK TWO 2014

John and I were both 8-8 last week. We both underestimated the Ravens on Thursday and took the Steelers.


Here are this weeks' picks:

1.) Carolina Panthers (1-0) at home (-2.5) vs. Detroit Lions (1-0)

Cam Newton is chomping at the bit and I'm not taking the Lions on the road.

PREDICTION: PANTHERS

2.) Buffalo Bills (1-0) at home (EVEN) vs. Miami Dolphins (1-)   

Even is a good judgement. I'll take the home team.

PREDICTION: BILLS

3.) Washington Redskins (0-1) at home (-5.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)

The Jags are not a four quarter team.

PREDICTION: REDSKINS

4.) Tennessee Titans (1-0) at home (-3.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys (0-1) 

Are the Cowboys as bad as they looked last week? I'm not so sure. But.....

PREDICTION: TITANS              

5.) Arizona Cardinals (1-0) (-2.5) at New York Giants (0-1) 

In prior years picking the GMEN was a no brainer, but the Giants are finding ways to lose.

PREDICTION: CARDINALS

6.) New England Patriots (0-1) (-6.5) at Minnesota Vikings (1-0)

No AP (WTF?) and the Pats are staring down an 0-2 start?

PREDICTION: PATRIOTS

7.) New Orleans Saints (0-1) (-6.5) at Cleveland Browns (0-1)

Too many points.

PREDICTION: BROWNS TO COVER

8.) Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) at home (-5.5) vs. Atlanta Falcons (1-0)

Too many points again.

PREDICTION: FALCONS TO COVER

9.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) at home vs. St. Louis Rams (0-1)

I don't like the points but the Rams are destined for the first overall pick in next years' draft.

PREDICTION: BUCCANEERS

10.) Seattle Seahawks (1-0) (-6) at San Diego Chargers (0-1)

I'm tempted to take the Chargers to cover, but would feel too foolish.

PREDICTION: SEAHAWKS

11.) Houston Texans (1-0) (-3) at Oakland Raiders (0-1)

Until they show different I won't pick the Raiders.

PREDICTION: TEXANS

12.) Green Bay Packers (0-1) at home (-8) vs. New York Jets (1-0)

Again, too many points.

PREDICTION: JETS TO COVER

13.) Denver Broncos (1-0) at home (-12.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)

A lot of points for a historic division rivalry, but the Chiefs are in disarray.

PREDICTION: BRONCOS

14.) San Francisco 49ers (1-0) at home (-7) vs. Chicago Bears (0-1)

The Bears defense can't stop the run and you can't win if you can't stop the run and certainly not if you're in San Francisco.

PREDICTION: 49ERS

15.) Indianapolis Colts (0-1) at home vs, Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)

The Colts are just a better football team.

PREDICTION: COLTS
