I like the Raiders and Bungles. Don't think there is enough appreciation for how bad MIA/CLE are.

[Gregg]

Limping in with my 3-5 record. I am only going to pick Thursday nights game at this time.

Bears +7.


I of course want them to win outright, so getting 7 is nice.

Forte needs a big game, keeps Rogers off the field. Then again how will the Pack stop the Bears revamped passing game? Should be a fun night.

[DMT]

I like the Bears +7 as well.
Washington -3
Oakland -2.5
Detroit +7
Atlanta -3

So I went 2-3 last week. I consider that a victory in light of how bad I usually am at this. But here goes again, with another 5:

Baltimore +2.5
New England -13.5
Pittsburgh -6
New Orleans -2.5
Giants -7

[off_the_wall]

YTD: 1-5

Giants -7. Tampa is not as good as last week, and the Giants are not as bad.

Atlanta -3. At home and by a mere 3 points. If Atlanta takes the next step, it wins this game.

Bills - 3.5. Most won't touch Buffalo after last weeks debacle but I think they right the ship here.

Detroit +7. While San Fran proved its worth last week, laying 7 against this Lions offense seems a tad high.

[gold standard]

I like KC +3.5

[Long John]

As a Packers fan, I've learned never to pick a game they are playing. I probably would have taken Chicago as well based on the Pack's week 1 performance.

I'm coming in 4-6 this year.

Washington - the Rams will be a good team again, but not this year
SEATTLE - they're always tough at home
SAN DIEGO - who's Tenn QB this week?
MIAMI - Oakland coming across the country could be looking at the big home game against the Steelers next week
Baltimore - It's almost a home game
Kansas City - CJ Spiller is no Fred Jackson
Detroit - SF wins by 4
INDIANAPOLIS - home dog. I could see the Vikes winning by 3, but I could also see the Colts winning by 1.
NY GIANTS 7 - Giants have a quick turn around for Thursday in Carolina, but they won't overlook the Bucs
Cleveland - Divisional opponents means this will be ugly and low scoring.
ATLANTA - If anyone says Super Bowl preview, they're crazy.

SAN DIEGO - who's Tenn QB this week?

Locker. But more importantly, who is blocking?

Baltimore - It's almost a home game

Not really, the Linc is almost entirely filled with season-ticket holders. However, the line is way off kilter, as 95% of the money in Vegas has come in for Baltimore.

Kansas City - CJ Spiller is no Fred Jackson

I don't see any basis for this claim. Did you look at Spiller's numbers late last year and last week?

[Long John]

You're mistaking what I'm saying.

Locker. But more importantly, who is blocking?

Locker hurt his non-throwing shoulder last week, so he could be limited this week.

I'm not questioning which fans are going to be in the stadium, but there's a huge difference between practicing at home and sleeping in your own bed the night before a game versus sleeping in a hotel room.

I don't see any basis for this claim. Did you look at Spiller's numbers late last year and last week?

There may be some similar numbers over a small stretch, but Spiller is not a 3-down back the way Jackson is. Jackson can get tough yards. Spiller is clearly talented and has excellent open-field talent. The Bills will do a good job of getting him the ball. But much of that will be in the form of quick passes, making the offense a bit more one-dimensional and, thus, easier for the KC defense to stop.

That's not what the TEN coaches are saying.

The bigger concern is that the O-Line was horrible in Week 1 and appears to be one of the worst units in the league.

PITTSBURGH- 6 -W
Washington -3 -L
Dallas -3 -L
+6 Tennessee-L
NEW ENGLAND -13.5 -L
Oakland- 2.5 -L
+2.5 Baltimore-W
+3.5 Kansas City-L
+2.5 CAROLINA-W
SAN FRANCISCO -7 -W
Minnesota -2 -L
Houston -7 -W
NY GIANTS -7 -Push
CINCINNATI -7 -Push

5-7-2 yikes.

[Judge Jude]

yeah, and the Giants a push off a 25-pt 4th qtr, and blowout losses galore!
did you have all of the worst ones, asks the guy who didn't make his own picks to be similarly dissected?
