First, for a reminder of playing rules, you can always refer back to Week 1's NFL Picks blog. This week, and likely every week going forward, I am switching to the current odds posted by the Las Vegas Hilton (LVH). Week 1 was a tough start. 7-8 is not where you want to be, but it's early and there is time to recover. The obvious important thing is to try and learn about teams and know what they are capable of to make the best pick depending on the upcoming opposition.
Week 2 has some interesting matchups. Once again, picking spreads makes every game interesting as normally a game between the Vikings and Colts would not be super interesting, but with the spread favoring the visiting Vikings by 1 you never know. Another interesting pick is the Cardinals/Patriots game. 13.5 points is a big spread in the NFL. The Pats obviously have a great offense, however the Cardinals are not as inept on the defensive side of the ball as some may think and will have the opportunity to make some plays. The Seattle Seahawks are coming off close road loss to Arizona and will be at home where they were 7-1 last season. Who wants to take the Cowboys on the road at Seattle? The Jets looked great last week with Sanchez starting the season off hot. He has temporarily put the Tebow talk to bed, but with an angry Steelers defense in Pittsburgh, the Jets will have to show even more to keep pace with the Patriots.
Week 2 is coming quick, so here are my picks:
- Buccaneers at Giants -7
- Cardinals at Patriots -13.5
- Vikings -2.5 at Colts
- Saints at Panthers +2
- Chiefs at Bills -3
- Ravens +2.5 at Eagles
- Raiders -2.5 at Dolphins
- Browns at Bengals -7
- Texans -7 at Jaguars
- Cowboys at Seahawks +3
- Redskins -3.5 at Rams
- Jets +4.5 at Steelers
- Titans at Chargers -6
- Lions at 49ers -7
- Broncos +3.5 at Falcons
Week 2 is on the record. Don't be afraid to make a few picks of your own and see how you match up. The Packers have already won so I am excited to sit back and enjoy some great games on Sunday!
Week 1: 7-8
Season: 7-8
