I went 9-7 in week 2. Compared to week 1 I didn’t do so well. So far this season I’ve gone 22-10 but hopefully this week I’ll do better.

We had some good games in week 2 but my teams didn’t do so well. The Packers lost to the Bengals at home and Chad Johnson, sorry it’s Chad Ochocinco now, did the Lambeau Leap. You see the Packers have this thing where they’re losing by double-digits with a couple minutes left in the game. So as a fan you’ve accepted that the Packers will lose and you give up on the game. However, you keep checking the game just to make sure they’re finished. It’s at that point when they do something that makes you think that they have a shot. For instance in week 2 they were down 10 with under two minutes to play. However, the Packers marched down the field and kicked a quick field goal to cut the lead to seven. So as a fan you say ok let’s see if they get the onside kick(which will probably never happen). Next thing you know the Packers execute the greatest onside kick in the history of the NFL. So you say hey they got a shot at this. So with less than a minute left the Packers call two horrible plays in a row. As a fan you start to lose hope but here come the Packers. They get the first down, run up, and spike it because they had no timeouts. At this point they could take some shots at the endzone. So as a fan you’re thinking ok this is possible. Now there’s about 16 seconds remaining, no timeouts and they’re on the 30 or 40ish yard-line. Rodgers throws it to the middle of the field to the 10 yard-line to Jennings(I think). However, the Packers have to get to the line and spike it before they’re out of time. So they’re running up to the line and I’m screaming at the TV. Rodgers snaps the ball with one second left on the clock. Flags are thrown. Jermichael Finley had been standing at the line of scrimage for about five seconds but he didn’t get down in his stance fast enough. Because of the 10 second run-off for an offensive player being offsides under two minutes the game ended. What a tease.

Anyway my second favorite team, the Titans, is now 0-2 after losing to the Texans. I think I said enough about the Packers so I won’t say anything about the Titans except that Chris Johnson is nasty!!!

The Dolphins, Colts game was entertaining. The Colts moved to 2-0 while the Dolphins fell to 0-2. The Giants prevailed over the Cowboys in the new stadium with the highest attendance ever. The Eagles didn’t play well without McNabb and Raiders defeated the Chiefs in the greatest game ever(sarcasm). Let’s just get to the picks.

Washington vs. Detroit

Now is the time. The Lions will win for the first time in a long time. C’mon Detroit I’m going out on a limb for you.

Green Bay vs. St. Louis

The Packers have to figure out who they are and it starts here. They have to beat teams like this if they expect to make the playoffs and so I don’t have to give Kyle Calvey $25.

San Francisco vs. Minnesota

Crap!!! The Vikings get to 3-0.

Atlanta vs. New England

The Patriots will recover from a tough loss against a team led by a rookie and a first-year head coach.

Tennessee vs. NY Jets

The Jets with a rookie quarterback and a first-year head coach will not start the season 3-0. The team that had the best record in the AFC last year will not start the season 0-3.

Kansas City vs. Philadelphia

The E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES will recover from from last week’s loss no matter who the quarterback is.

NY Giants vs. Tampa Bay

The Giants will get off to 3-0 start, which is important in the NFC East.

Cleveland vs. Baltimore

The Ravens are better.

Jacksonville vs. Houston

The Texans will keep it going at home.

New Orleans vs. Buffalo

The Saints behind the arm of Drew Brees will crush the Bills.

Chicago vs. Seattle

Coming off a great win against the Steelers, the Bears will unfortunately keep it up against the Seahawks.

Miami vs. San Diego

The Chargers will end any hope for the Dolphins of making the playoffs.

Pittsburgh vs. Cincinatti

The Steelers will recover from a tough loss against a team that they are better than.

Denver vs. Oakland

The Broncos will get off to a surprising 3-0 start.

Indianapolis vs. Arizona

 The Colts will eke out another victory to move to 3-0.

Carolina vs. Dallas

The Panthers aren’t getting it done and the Cowboys won’t be happy about losing to their rival last week.

That’s Week 3.
