Just Sayin!

After a very solid start to the NFL week, we return to take on the second week of the NFL season.
Stephen and I eeked out a close one on our lock of the week with the Cardinals holding on in a red
zone stand to end the game. Both of our upset picks came in. Stephen was all over the Bills and they
dismantled the Chiefs. And even though I didn’t think Detroit deserved to be an underdog they still
handled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.

Here’s the picks for week 2 in the NFL

“Master” Lock of the Week:

BC: Pittsburg Steelers -15 vs. Seattle Seahawks – This has all the makings of being a nightmare for the Seahawks. Pittsburgh’s home opener, and they were just completely embarrassed by division rival
Baltimore in week one. I expect the Steelers to come out and dominate this game in every phase.
Warren Sapp chimed in and said the Steelers are washed up, here’s their chance to show the NFL that
last week was just a fluke and not how their season will go.

SB: Detroit -7.5 vs. Kansas City – Detroit=up and comers. Chiefs = down and outers. That Chiefs
meltdown was a little expected and I don’t see it turning around on the road in Detroit. Plus, Eric Berry being hurt means Calvin Johnson will get a few more looks down the field against SS Jon McGraw who has only 7 INT’s in 10 years. I know 7.5 is tough to swallow at first glance but I can see Detroit doing this one by 10+ easy.

Upset Special:

BC: Chicago +7 @ New Orleans – I think that quietly the Bears are one of the best teams in the NFC.
They just happen to play in the same division as the defending Super Bowl Champs. This game will be emotional. With the passing of Brian Urlacher’s mother earlier this week, and his emotional return to the team to play this Sunday, I could see this being one of those games where the Bears pull together with the emotional lift of their mourning leader and pull the upset.

SB: San Diego +6.5 @ New England – yes, yes, yes I too watched Dr. Brady perform surgery on the
Dolphins on Monday night. Top to bottom everything was clicking. If there is one team in the AFC that should be able to keep pace, however, I think it’s the Chargers. They did finish #1 in offense and defense last season, remember? And with no major adjustments in their roster or staff, it’s not difficult to think they will be able to regain that form and compete with the elite.

JUST SAYIN Game of the Week:

BC: Houston -3 @ Miami – Both teams’ offenses were scorching in week 1. The problem is, Miami’s
defense looked like a submarine with screen doors, allowing Tom Brady to throw for over 500 yards on them. In comes probably the next most explosive offense. Week 1 saw the Texans put up 34 points in their sleep against a “Peytonless” Colts team. This is Houston’s big chance. Every year they have fallen just short of the Colts, and this year they have already beat them, and have a chance to move to 2-0 on the year and assert themselves on top of the AFC South Division….Just sayin!

SB: Washington -3 vs. Arizona – Redskins giving 3 is looking pretty sexy. If a rookie quarterback (Cam Newton) can throw for over 400 yards in his first career start, Rex Grossman should do ok right? Just sayin…
