Pigskin Picks and Prose: Week 2

Hello again, pigskin profiteers!  Week 2 in the NFL is full of promising payouts, and here are my plays:

Titans +1.5

I jumped on this one earlier in the week.  The bumbling Bengals should play better, but the Titan running game and defense will tame these timid tigers.  Also, backup QB Kerry Collins brings stability and experience to the position.  The Bengals will not be able to focus on strictly stopping the run. 

Panthers -3

I'm not sold on the Bears.  They beat a rusty Peyton Manning and an offensive line certainly weakened by the injury to Jeff Saturday.  The Panthers last play road win over the Chargers was the greater feat, and, overall, Carolina looks more like the real deal.

Giants -9.5

Although the Giants have not faced the Rams since 2005, they have won the last three meetings.  Plus, it seems the Rams have no problem wallowing in the shameful suckdom that was last season. 

Packers -3.5

Green Bay has won the last five meetings, and only once was the victory by three or fewer points.  I do not doubt the Lions offense will be more effective at home, but unless the defense follows suit the Packers should cover the number.  (The over, 46 or 46.5, also looks real good.)

Raiders +4

No, nobody held a gun to my head and forced me to do what most would call "foolish as hell."  I just feel this super talented team will rally together today, not for their soon-to-be-canned coach, but to stop ESPN from running stories about how much the team sucks.

May all your wagers be winners! 

P.S.  Make sure to have a few beers and a plate of hot wings for Vince Young.

NFL Record: 4-1

Another great Sunday for you, KingSerf.  Next week I'm going to try to remember to look for your post in the madness of the 30 minutes prior to the early kickoffs.  It's too bad that very few people get to see these excellent picks.

mrbator, u on dallas tonight? 

 

i usually dont make picks myself but i am from the philly/nj area and i see a hungry eagles team right now.  defense is still a little unproven, but asante allows them to send an extra guy towards romo and the line of scrimage.  i think they match up well enough to keep this one tighter than my belt after thanksgiving dinner.  their attitude after the rams win was that they still had a lot to prove, i see them playing inspired ball, even more so than u would normally expect from a mnf game as an underdog against a long time division rival.

 

good luck either way!
