Spiral Notes

By Jeremy
Last week: 9-7
Against-the-Spread: 6-7
Lock-of-the-Week: 0-1

What a dynamite way to start the season. Nevertheless I am bouncing back this week. I will plow through these picks just like Kyle is plowing through a train of Euro-trash as we speak.

Arizona(1-0) at Atlanta(0-1) -7
When your quarterback would rather be on Dancing With the Stars than return to your roster, that's not a good sign. Falcons 33, Cards 31
Tampa Bay(1-0) at Carolina(0-1) -4
Bring 'em out now, your undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Panthers 29, Buccs 23
Baltimore(1-0) -2 at Cincinnati(0-1)
I haven't given up on the TOchocinco combo yet. But I'm getting there. Ravens 27, Bengals 26
Kansas City(1-0) at Cleveland(0-1) -2
The Chiefs were one of two perfect calls from me last week. Can you be due for a letdown if its only week two? Browns 31, Chefs 27
Chicago(1-0) at Dallas(0-1) -9
Against that defense, pencil Jay Cutler in for like nine INTs. Cowboys 30, Bears 16
Philadelphia(0-1) -6 at Detroit(0-1)
Its a good thing for Packer fans that Mike Vick didn't play the entire game. He will Sunday, which means the Eagles will win, but it might be ugly. Eagles 30, Loins 26
Buffalo(0-1) at Green Bay(1-0) -14
Its a huge line, but I'm not afraid. Aaron Rogers has a little A-Rod in him: he always has huge games against really bad teams. Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-Lock-of-the-Week: Pack 28, Bills 2
Miami(1-0) at Minnesota(0-1) -6
Is Favre just over it? If he is, we're about to see a long and painful year up in the land of Prince and Lake Minnetonka. Vikes 51, Phins 35
Pittsburgh(1-0) at Tennessee(1-0) -6
The Titans may have set a record for the quickest bandwagon-fillup in history. Titans 36, Steelers 29
Seattle(1-0) at Denver(0-1) -4
The Broncos need to just throw Tebow out there for 20 plays to sell some jerseys, because that team ain't doin' shit. Broncs 31, Hawks 28
St. Louis(0-1) at Oakland(0-1) -4
Can't believe I'm picking Oakland and giving up points. But, what can I say, I think Bradford is about to have a vintage Manning/Aikman rookie year 39-65 1 TD 6 INT game. Raiders 31, Rams 17
New England(1-0) -3 at NY Jets(0-1)
The Jets are just like any Chicago Bears team from the 2000's. They could finish anywhere from 13-3 to 5-11, depending on the bounces they do or don't get. They are due for a couple against the Pats. Jets 10, Pats 7
Jacksonville(1-0) at San Diego(0-1) -7
Still not drinking the Chargers kool-aid. Maybe its one of the worst head coaches in the league? Maybe its the lack of any above-average RB or WR? Maybe its Phil Rivers and his Dan Quisenberry-esque throwing motion? That said, Jacksonville will be too busy checking out real estate in the greater Los Angeles area to worry about the game. Bolts 16, Jags 3
Houston(1-0) -3 at Washington(1-0)
The Texans are everybody's new darling. Hell, I'll jump on the bandwagon if it somehow means we get a January without Peyton Manning. Texans 8, Washington 6
NY Giants(1-0) at Indianapolis(0-1) -6
Speaking of Peyton, how much do you think Eli hates his older brother. Can you imagine being overshadowed your entire life by a superior older bro? Man, just thinking about it fills me with sympathy for Rory, Kyle, Cody and Andy. Colts 34, Giants 24
New Orleans(1-0) -6 at San Francisco
After an offseason filled with hype, the Niners have to be better than that shit-storm we saw last Sunday. Don't they? Saints 33, Niners 31
