Ouch! Rough start for week 1. I now know Carson Palmer is a bigger loser than Phillip Rivers and Green Bay's defense remains awful (should have thought of that before my superbowl picks). Week 2 has some very close matchups. Here are my picks.
Packers 21 Bears 17 (3). Can't see the Pack losing two in a row at home.
Chiefs 28 Bills 10 (4). By making Mark Sanchez look good, Buffalo showed they have the worst defense in football.
Bengals 20 Browns 14 (9). Bengals have a more experienced quarterback.
Vikings 20 Colts 17 (1). Vikings need another big game from Adrian Peterson
Raiders 20 Dolphins 10 (10). If Carson Palmer can't beat the Dolphins, he is the biggest loser in the history of football.
Patriots 28 Cardinals 14 (16). Another easy Patriot victory.
Giants 30 TB 14 (14). Giants get back on track.
Baltimore 27 Eagles 10 (13). A surging Joe Flacco beats an injured Michael Vick.
Saints 24 Panthers 13 (11). Cam Newton is overrated. Good statistical numbers and few wins.
Houston 31 Jaguars 7 (15). Houston keeps rolling.
Redskins 27 Rams 14 (12). I doubt I've ever had a confidence level this high on a team with a rookie quarterback but I've never seen a rookie quarterback with the confidence and skill of RG3.
Dallas 24 Seahawks 14 (5). Dallas's improved defense will dominate.
Steelers 21 Jets 7 (6). The real Mark Sanchez shows up in this game.
San Diego 24 Titans 14 (7).
49ers 23 Lions 10 (8). 49er defense dominated Aaron Rodgers and will do the same to Matt Stafford.
Atlanta 20 Denver 17 (2). Tough one. Peyton is back but Atlanta's offense will control the ball just enough to win
