NFL Week 2

Oh my god, will someone please fire Todd Haley, cut Matt Cassel and tell the Chiefs to tank for Andrew Luck? Last week was embarrassing for any sports fan, and I’m from KC.

This Week’s Picks:
Raiders (+3.5) over Bills – short week for West coast team in noon game on the East coast rules be damned the Raiders can get off to a good start if the play like last week.
Saints (-7.5) over Bears – you’re telling me you’d put more faith in Jay Cutler than Drew Brees?
Browns (-2.5) over Colts – I believe they are better than they showed last week. I also believe the Colts are as bad as they showed last week.
Chiefs (+8.5) over Lions – conventional wisdom would tell you the Lions will cover, but we’re still talking about the Lions here.
Packers (-10.5) over Panthers – what spread would be too high? 14.5? 21.5?
Ravens (-5.5) over Titans – is it strange that the Ravens already won the AFC North? I mean, a win in Pittsburgh has to be the nail in the coffin, right?
Buccaneers (+3.5) over Vikings – I don’t trust McNabb.
Jets (-10.5) over Jaguars – too bad the Jags can’t play the Titans every week
Redskins (-4.5) over Cardinals – anyone else a little intrigued by Sexy Rexy’s guarantee?
Steelers (-14.5) over Seahawks – this line is waaaaay too high, but would you want to be Tavarius Jackson and the Seahawks right now?
Cowboys (+2.5) over 49ers – just because they blew last week’s game doesn’t mean they aren’t better than every team north and west of them
Broncos (-5.5) over Bengals – at what point does Tebow start looking for a new home, so he can actually play this game that he’s soooo good at.
Texans (-2.5) over Dolphins – only 2.5 points????
Patriots (+6.5) over Chargers – seriously, less than a touchdown at home??
Eagles (-2.5) over Falcons – who are these guys? Do they know how competitive Vick is?
Giants (-6.5) over Rams – the Rams may win the West, but they might also do it at 6-10.

Last Week: 11-5
