With week 1 in the books, time to compare how well I did in picks for the past week:
10-5.
And how well my roommate did:
7-8.
Safe to say the Colts-Rams game screwed us up badly. Never thought I'd see the day that the Colts would give up 46 points to the Rams, let alone score only 9 points in the game. Another one we messed up on was the Texans winning. Safe to say we both believe that it might take a 7-9 team to make the playoffs in that weak division.
There were only 15 games on the slate for last week as the Bucs-Dolphins game had to be moved to a later date due to Hurricane Irma. Thoughts will go out to the people affected by the Hurricane and that the people were safe and sound, human life is irreplaceable.
On this month in 1997, Midway Games made a truly classic game. Remember playing the arcade version of this game in an Arcade. Of course I'm talking about NFL Blitz! Here's a cool video:
Week 2 of the NFL season is now upon us. Those teams with a 1-0 record look to build off of what they did in the previous week. The teams with 0-1 look to avoid being 0-2 and missing the chance to get into the playoffs. The nitty gritty starts this week. Here are the picks:
Houston @ Cincinnati: Bengals. After a bad loss for both of these teams, I feel the Bengals will look to avoid being in the 0-2 hole. I feel AJ Green will have a good game and Andy Dalton will have a bounce back game. I mean there's no way but up right?
Arizona @ Indianapolis: Cardinals. Okay Arizona, you let me down last week at Detroit, you have a very winnable game in Indianapolis with a Colts team that has no Andrew Luck, if you don't win here, you can kiss playoff hopes goodbye.
Buffalo @ Carolina: Panthers. Cam Newton and the Panthers played well enough to beat a bad Niners team on the road, now you're at home against the 1-0 division leading Buffalo Bills. Bounce back game for Newton is in the future.
Chicago @ Tampa Bay: Buccaneers. The Bears showed quite a bit of heart against Atlanta in a game that shouldn't have been anywhere near as close as it should've been. However, the well rested Buccaneers will be playing at home and the Bucs look good in paper in this matchup. Don't let me down.
Cleveland @ Baltimore: Ravens. The game could go either way as the Ravens will play host against the Browns. This might be closer than people might think. The Browns are young, but the Ravens have experience on their side, and the Ravens will look to continue their dominance over their AFC North rival.
Minnesota @ Pittsburgh: Vikings. Upset pick of the week. The Vikings showed off their offense is much improved, and their defense looked as better than ever. Was debating between who would win but Alexandra Daddario would probably go with the Vikes too. Big Ben and the Steelers could give the Vikings a fit or two.
New England @ New Orleans: Patriots. After the embarrassing defeat on primetime Thursday, the Pats go on the road against New Orleans, who too had a bad loss against the Vikings on Monday night. The Saints defense was terrible against Sam Bradford and I feel Tom Brady will get back on track in the Superdome on Sunday.
Philadelphia @ Kansas City: Eagles. This game will be a good test for both teams. The Chiefs won at Gillette, and the Eagles won at FedEx Field. Two teams with good offenses and good defenses as well, with Eric Berry of the Chiefs out for the season, I feel the Eagles will have the upper hand.
Tennessee @ Jacksonville: Titans. With Hurricane Irma to the North, the Jags will play host to divisional opponent Tennessee who look to bounce back with their first win of the season. The Jaguars winning at Houston was a fluke I feel, and Marcus Mariota will take care of business.
Miami @ LA Chargers: Chargers. Jay Cutler and the Dolphins look to win their first game of the season after having the week off due to Hurricane Irma, however I like the Chargers in the matchup who will be playing their first game in Los Angeles since 1960, back when they were owned by Barron Hilton, the son and heir to the Hilton Hotel chain Conrad Hilton.
NY Jets @ Oakland: Raiders. The Raiders will play their first home game of the season as they will play host to the 0-1 New York Jets, in a winnable game for the Raiders, expect Derek Carr and Amari Cooper to have great days.
San Francisco @ Seattle: Seahawks. As much as I hate the Seahawks, and somewhat like the Niners, the Seahawks will get back to .500 by the time this game ends late Sunday afternoon. The Niners are terrible.
Washington @ LA Rams: Washington. The Rams had an easy win against the Colts last Sunday, putting up 46 points against the Colts bad defense. The Washington Hogs will be no pushover, Hail to The Hogs! 1-1!
Dallas @ Denver: Broncos. You thought I'd pick the Cowboys, didn't you? Both of these teams had good wins as Dak Prescott and the Boys will go on the road against Von Miller's Broncos. I like the Broncos due to their offensive weapons and better defense. Altitude I feel will be a factor as well as they are in the Mile High City.
Green Bay @ Atlanta: Packers. A rematch of the NFC Championship game. The Packers defense played well against the Seahawks and will look to do the same against the Falcons, if they can pressure Matt Ryan then the game will be very much winnable and let Aaron Rodgers do Aaron Rodger's things.
Detroit @ NY Giants: Giants. The Giants had an awful performance against the Cowboys last night, and they will play host to the 1-0 Detroit Lions, hopefully Odell Beckham Jr will be healthy enough to play and give the G-men some needed energy on the offensive front. Lions look good but only one will come out winning.
