YTD: 3-2

New Orleans -7. They are at home, have had 10 days to prepare and the Bears weren't as good as the week 1 win might indicate.
Seattle +14. I'm not prepared to give Pittsburgh 2 touchdowns, just yet.
Dallas -3. San Fran was woeful last week against a soft Seattle team, whereas Dallas played the Jets very tough on the road.
San Diego +6.5. Game of the week, I think this stays close until the end.
Tennessee +6. Me thinks Baltimore lets down after a big week 1 win over the Steelers.

San Diego +6.5. Game of the week, I think this stays close until the end.

As an owner of Rivers, Welker and Hernandez in various leagues, I am looking forward to an insane shootout.

Intersting. Not enough.

DETROIT 8.5 Kansas City - KC

NY JETS 9 Jacksonville - JAC

Philadelphia 1.5 ATLANTA - ATL

I think I picked 3 last week - any accounting here?

[Long John]

I went 0 for 3 last week. Yuck.

DETROIT 8.5 Kansas City - KC - KC is not that far from Detroit and the Chiefs have to show up this week
WASHINGTON 3.5 Arizona - Skins - Arizona's defense was shredded last week and Washington's defense looked good.
MINNESOTA 3 Tampa Bay - TB - Tampa is a team on the rise. Minny is on the decline. Tampa wins.
Cleveland 2.5 INDIANAPOLIS - Indy - I picked them last week, but they have to beat the Browns.

I agree on Detroit v KC. 8.5 is excessive, because on paper this is close. The Chiefs have better trenches and Jamaal Charles. For Detroit, Stafford is capable of winning the game by himself, and he may need to. Expect a different looking Chiefs team this week, and the Lions might be cocky.

I love Freeman, but I lean to the Vikings this week. Give Tampa a month to get their defense untracked, and that will be a team to fear.
