At Cleveland | -2 | Kansas City |
TJ: Hard to bet against KC after a pretty convincing MNF performance in week 1. Especially with Cleveland starting Seneca Wallace at QB. KC Covers.
DP: I'm riding the KC bandwagon for at least another week.
At Green Bay | -13 | Buffalo |
TJ: This is a huge line for week 2, especially since Philly had a nice game against GB last week. Buffalo stinks, but I say GB has a little trouble and wins a close one. Buffalo is the pick.
DP: Nothing about Buffalo scares me, I'm pretty sure Green Bay agrees. GB covers easily.
Baltimore | -2.5 | At Cincinnati |
TJ: I can’t hit Baltimore hard enough in this game, but Ray Lewis can hit Carson Palmer just fine. Baltimore covers, and then some.
DP: I liked Cincy at -3, at -2.5 it would be a stay away for me if I was gambling. I'll pick Cincy here for giggles.
At Tennessee | -5 | Pittsburgh |
TJ: Tennessee looked great last week against Oakland, but Oakland ain’t Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh handled a game Atlanta squad. I think this one goes down to the wire, and the Titans fail to cover the 5.
DP: Pittsburgh had weeks to prepare for Atlanta, but they have a few days for Tenn and Johnson and Young are tough to prepare for. I like Tenn to win but not cover.
Philadelphia | -6.5 | At Detroit |
TJ: Vick? Really? Ah, fuck it, I’m in. Philly covers.
DP: I was really, really impressed by Detroit's re-built D-Line. Suh is a future defensive player of the year. I think Suh collapses the pocket while the ends keep Vick from running. With Vick forced to pass, I like Detroit with the points.
At Dallas | -7.5 | Chicago |
TJ: It’s a must-win for Dallas. Chicago is supposed to put up some points with Cutler/Martz, and their D is supposed to be back up to speed and healthy, but they sure didn’t look it in Week 1. It’s a big line, but I think Dallas plays with desperation and covers.
DP: I loved Chicago at -9 and I guess the sharps agree. I still think Dallas is a mess. Cowboys win, but fail to cover in a wild game.
At Carolina | -3.5 | Tampa Bay |
TJ: This week’s pooper-bowl. I hate both these teams, and wish I could bet the over on number of crappy plays and dumb mistakes. Carolina’s the better team, and ought to cover at home.
DP: I think Carolina hangs around the fringe of the wild-card scene until late in the year. They start their run win an easy cover over the Bucs.
At Atlanta | -6.5 | Arizona |
TJ: Atlanta should kill these jokers. If not, I’m jumping off the Falcon’s bandwagon for good. They cover.
DP: My lock of the week. Early season you bet your favorites and I like the Birds.
At Minnesota | -5.5 | Miami |
TJ: The Doc and I have liked Miami as a sleeper for a while. However, like Dallas, Minnesota must win this week, or see their season spiral down the drain. I wish this line were lower, but I have to pick the Vikes to cover.
DP: Miami. No reason why, just a hunch.
At Oakland | -3.5 | St. Louis |
TJ: Oakland is a better team than the Week 1 score indicated. They get after Bradford and cover with ease.
DP: This game has stay away written all over it. Bradford looked pretty good in Week 1, but how do you take a rookie QB on the road. Oakland covers.
At Denver | -3.5 | Seattle |
TJ: Can Seattle be for real? I hope not, but Denver isn’t doing it for me. Give me the ‘Hawks and the points.
DP: Another stay away if I was wagering real money. Denver is tough at home and I think they bounce back to cover.
Houston | -3 | At Washington |
TJ: Let me get this straight: Washington beats Dallas in week one, then gets three in a home game against Houston? No way Foster runs on them the way he ran on that undersized Colts line. I’ll take the ‘Skins.
DP: Washington.
At San Diego | -7 | Jacksonville |
TJ: Another pair of teams I hate to back. The Jags are horrible, but seven points is a lot to get against a team that lost to KC in Week 1. Screw it, Norv is always good in the regular season, I’ll take the Chargers to cover.
DP: This game will tell us a lot about both of these teams. You play to win the game. Crap, I'm out of cliches and have nothing to write about this game. I'll take Jax.
New England | -3 | At NY Jets |
TJ: The game of the week, no doubt. The Jets need the win more, they’re at home, and they’re getting three. But Brady seems like he’s back, and Revis can only cover one guy at a time. NE covers.
DP: I've had the Jets as my most over rated team all pre-season. The Pats showed in week 1 they have plenty of guys to throw to and there is no way the Jets can score enough points to keep up. NE covers.
At Indianapolis | -5.5 | NY Giants |
TJ: Good sized line. But not good enough. I hate the Giants, and Indy covers.
DP: Don't bet against Manning in night games, especially when Eli is involved.
New Orleans | -5.5 | At San Francisco |
TJ: Holy cow, can SF really be as bad as they looked in Week 1? I don’t think so, but I also think the Saints are the shit, and won’t lose to weak teams. New Orleans covers.
DP: New Orleans is explosive, but San Fran can grind it out on the ground. NO will need turnovers to cover and I don't think the 49ers will risk Alex Smith losing the game for them. Saints win but don't cover.
