Cloudy days are quite fun when you are writing. It offers you something to do while you mope around. It is Wednesday so it means that it is time for picks. It is the second week of the NFL regular season. Some interesting matchups that could be good or bad. Here are the picks:
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore: Steelers. The Ravens are distracted by the Ray Rice news so I feel the Steelers will be at more of an advantage.
New York Jets @ Green Bay: Packers. The line is -8 for the Packers as the favorite. I like the line and therefore the Packers will be my pick. Otherwise I’d pick them anyway.
Miami @ Buffalo: Bills. First game at home since the death of Ralph Wilson in March. Certainly the Bills will play for their longtime owner and friend. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Dolphins play well and win too.
Detroit @ Carolina: Lions. The lions looked good against the Giants. The Panthers did as well but in terms of personnel and talent the Lions got them beat.
Atlanta @ Cincinnati: Bengals. I’ll stick on the Bengals bandwagon on this game. The Falcons got lucky last week and I don’t feel good in this one for the Falcons.
New Orleans @ Cleveland: Saints. Don’t get me started. The Saints will own the Browns.
New England @ Minnesota: Patriots. Good game in TCF Bank Stadium. Passing attack heavy.
Arizona @ New York Giants: Cards. The Giants will go 0-2 and the Cardinals will go 2-0 in this game. Eli Manning vs Cardinals secondary will be key to this game.
Dallas @ Tennessee: Titans. The AFC has been bad for the Cowboys and this game won’t be any different.
Jacksonville @ Washington: Washington. The jags will go to RFK to look for a win against RGIII but they wont get it because Washington will get a win at 1-1.
Seattle @ San Diego: Seacocks. Don’t like the Chargers at home against a super power in the Seahawks in this game. Not much to say.
St. Louis @ Tampa Bay: Buccaneers. Tampa got a fluke loss against the Panthers. With a bad Rams team in town I feel good with the Bucs.
Kansas City @ Denver: Broncos. With a line like -13 as the Broncos are favored you have to pick the Broncos in this game. Not the game that last years was.
Houston @ Oakland: Raiders. Upset pick. Not much to lose in this one. I have the faith in the black and silver. So don’t make me shiver. Yes I did rhyme.
Chicago @ San Francisco: Niners. Easy pick when Chicago shat a brick against the Bills of all teams.
Philadelphia @ Indianapolis: Colts. The Eagles had a rough time for some of the game against the Jaguars. They play against a better team against the jags in the Colts. Got to say that I feel that Indy will win.
