NFL Week Two Picks

[Alexgurv]

NFL 2010-2011 Overall 2-1-1 +2.90 units (66.66%)
NFL 2010-2011 2 Unit Plays 2-0 +4.00 units (100.00%)


Good start for the season, a silly mistake betting the Cowboys. Patriots are better then I thought they were , they are going to be dominant on offense. Bengals I think will get a bit better but they are overrated as well. Ravens looked lost at times, there running game was pretty much non-existent. But then again maybe that was the Jets defense. Flacco looked totally inaccurate and missed some wide open throws. The worst is that he held onto the ball for way too long and refused to get rid of it. The Cowboys, are still the Cowboys, if they utilized all there weapons this team would be great, but for some reason they want to throw it all on Romo's back. Which has proven to be a bad idea.


Leans for Week Two

Eagles -3.5
Vikings -5.5
Texans -2.5
Colts -5.5
Saints -4.5

All favorites for now..I'm usually not a favorites guy but this week may change for me..insight appreciated.

Bengals +1.5 to win 1 unit

Both these teams were pretty disappointing on offense but I think the home team wins out in this matchup. First I think the Ravens were truly horrible on offense. They got a ton of breaks. First the fact that the Jets couldn't stop them on third down couldn't be all them. Second the refs really gave them a lending hand, especially on that TD Drive. Third Ray Rice looked terrible, I have trouble believing that this was all the Jets. Fourth Flacco wasn't even close on probably 5 throws off the top of my head. This guy is no Tom Brady. I think the Bengals turn it around offensively and they wont have to deal with a Patriots teams who was determined to prove they are back. I say the Bengals win this one 7-3. I also think that the Ravens secondary problems will be truly exposed in this one. The Jets just don't have the weapons or running game to expose these DB's for what they really are. Bengals certainly do. Hopefully they get there running game going as well

Flacco Is a choke artist, doesn't matter how many weapons you give the guy he always chokes. He's going to go down in history as a QB who could of been...

[Alexgurv]

Yeah Bengals have a strong history against the Ravens as well

Been contemplating the Pats all week, anyone have any ideas on this game

Denver -3 to win 1 unit

Seattle is pretty horrible on the road, and even though they only gave up 6 against the Niners I'm not too sure about this defense. Bronco's have a pretty good defense. The passing game looked decent against the Jags. They should get a boast in the running game if Maroney plays but I think Moreno will have a good season as well. In the end, I dont think the Hawks have enough weapons for this game

Giants +5 to win 1 unit

Man this is strictly a degenerate play because I know if this game was at 1 PM I wouldn't touch it. This is gonna be a straight shoot out I think. Neither defenses are too good, but the Colt's D gets considerably weaker when Bob Sanders goes out. I also think the Giants could control the game a bit more with a better running game. I think the running game tbh is gonna be the difference in this game.

Saints -4.5 to win 1 unit

I'm just gonna go with what I think is the obvious pick here. Usually in these situation's I would find a way to somehow back the 49ers because I think that this line is this way for a reason. Saint's didn't play that well in the first game of the season, but they still have a great offense. They have a formidable defense. 49er's proved last week that there defense isn't that great with how Seattle dismantled them. Alex Smith hasn't proven to me that he can go out and create some offense either. I think the Saints should easily win, unless they can't hold on to the ball or something...
