D A N K nfl week two thread (4-1 ytd)

week one: 4-1   Had a good week..thanks New York football Giants...thanks Kansas City (that means you Bernard Pollard )...thanks Dallas....thanks Green Bay......fu Michael Turner , was leaning towards Oakland tonight but not totally sold so I'm not gonna push it too much. Cutler is on a mission this year (as he tosses it in the end zone to Eddie Royal)     I already locked two games in for next weekend, getting a little antsy over here. Will most likely add some more towards the end of the week, we'll so how I'm feeling.   Philadelphia Eagles +7 Yes, I know it was the St. Louis defense but McNabb looked as comfortable as ever. The offense looks like it hasn't skipped a beat and has more of a "big play" capability than they did the past two seasons. Dallas to me, while a solid defense, still likely to give up the "big play" at some point. New York seemed to struggle last year at getting the big downfield play but somehow managed to sneak them past Dallas even in some of their regular season losses. This is a game Philadelphia can win, while I don't think they will, it will be a big test for Dallas to see how they come and play in a big game. Philadelphia defense looked really aggressive this weekend and I think they are up to the task of roughing up this potent offense.   Titans +1 With or without Vince Young I take Tennessee here. Cincinatti seriously looked like they could be one of the worst teams in football this yea... [More]

dank week 1 picks (NFL)

The-dank-one YTD (0-0)       Good luck guys looking forward to posting my picks all year long, hopefully it's a good one. This is what I have locked in but may end up adding some before Sunday. I'll keep this thread updated.     Giants -4 New York is flying so far under the radar with the loss of Strahan/Umenyiora right now it isn't funny. People fail to realize this team got deeper in the secondary and more comfortable with Spagnuolo defense. They must not have payed much attention to the WR battle in camp because they aren't just healthy for once, they are also very deep.   I like Washington over the course of the season but not in this particular spot. New York defense is going to be stout and the offense is going to open things up.   Lions -3 This one kind of makes me nervous because of the size of the spread and the disparity between the teams. Seems too good to be true. Maybe Detroit just isn't as good as I think they will be this year. I just don't see who Atlanta has on defense that is going to stop this Detroit offense. This offense will be better without Mike Martz. More balanced and effective. Interested to see how Kevin Smith adapts to the pros in this game.   Cowboys -5.5   Teams made the Cleveland first team defense look silly in the preseason and Dallas has a tough offense to slow down. I honestly don't even see this one being close. Cleveland could go shot for shot wi... [More]
