Last Week: 10-6
Against-the-Spread: 7-8
Season Total: 19-13
Season ATS: 13-15
Lock-of-the-Week: 1-1
Like Lazarus of biblical fame, I will rise from the dead this week with a dominant performance. Or maybe I will just keep sucking balls. Either way, here are the picks:
San Francisco(0-2) at Kansas City(2-0) -1
The biggest surprise this year is easily the Chiefs, who are somehow doing it with a lousy coach and a subpar QB. Chefs 21, Niners 17
Cincinnati(1-1) -1.5 at Carolina(0-2)
Carolina is so bad they are turning to their rookie quarterback already. Prediction: Steve Smith will not love the Jimmy Clausen era. Bengals 30, Panthers 20
Tennessee(1-1) at NY Giants(1-1) -3
I still enjoy the Titans, but a QB controversy is never the right move with VY. He and Kerry Collins should just platoon and get it over with. Giants 8, Titans 3
Buffalo(0-2) at New England(1-1) -13.5
For those of you in suicide pools, here is this weeks pick.(Note: Suicide pool in this case is not a contest between Bills fans to decide who should off themself this week.) Pats 43, Bills 23
Atlanta(1-1) at New Orleans(2-0) -5
In the Jeremy-Power-Poll, I have the Saints as the top teams, even though they have yet to score an impressive win. They will finally get it in week three at home. Saints 39, Falcons 28
Cleveland(0-2) at Baltimore(1-1) -8.5
Speaking of suicide pools, ladies and gentlemen your Cleveland Browns. Ravens 28, Browns 10
Detroit(0-2) at Minnesota(0-2) -11
Ol' Brett just loves to play the game, doesn't he? Umm, not anymore. Vikes 41, Loins 23
Pittsburgh(2-0) at Tampa Bay(2-0) -3
Did I say KC was the biggest surprise? I should have said the TB Buccs and their star Josh "I'm setting the cause of black quarterbacks back 30 years" Freeman. Upset Special: Steelers 28, Buccs 27
Dallas(0-2) at Houston(2-0) -3
The thought of Dallas going 0-3 has just given me a boner, I'll be right back.
(4 minutes later)
I'm back. Texans 21, Cowboys 17
Washington(1-1) -3.5 at St. Louis(0-2)
Wash is starting to look like a wildcard contender. That is, they did until they ran into the runaway freight train known as the STL Rams. Oh, who am I kidding. Washington 29, Rams 23
Philadelphia(1-1) -3 at Jacksonville(1-1)
So Andy Reid has flipped the script and gone with Mike Vick. Insert lame-and-trying-too-hard dogfighting joke here. Eagles 20, Jags 14
Indianapolis(1-1) -5.5 at Denver(1-1)
Denver actually looked like a contender last week. They won't do it again, will they? Colts 7, Broncs 6
San Diego(1-1) -6 at Seattle(1-1)
The Seahawks have already shown to be a good home team and a disasterous road squad. And this game is held in the land of flannel and rain. Bolts 19, Hawks 14
Oakland(1-1) at Arizona(1-1) -4
One and a half more bad quarters from Derek Anderson, and the Max Hall era will begin. Utah fans have to be excited for that possibility. Cards 17, Raiders 14
NY Jets(1-1) at Miami(2-0) -1
Sanchize and the Jets are way too inconsistent to pick a week after the pretty boy's best game. Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-Lock-of-the-Week: Phins 17, Jets 3
Green Bay(2-0) -1 at Chicago(2-0)
Pack fans everywhere are confused by the Bears 2-0 start. But luckily GB can deal with it themselves in prime time, otherwise known as the place Jay Cutler goes to throw nine interceptions. Pack 9, Bears 3
