So week 2 of the NFL is upon us and teams have the opportunity to show that week 1 wasn't a fluke. The Texas and Redskins are at the top of that list as are the Chiefs. We'll see who didnt have one game of glory. And I try my hand at this game picking things. And here are my picks:
-Cowboys over the Bears
-Ravens over the Bengals
-Chiefs over the Browns
-Falcons over the Cardinals
-Packers over the Bills
-Titans over Steelers
-Vikings over Dolphins
-Buccaneers over Panthers
-Seahawks over Broncos
-Raiders over Rams
-Patriots over Jets
-Chargers over Jaguars
-Texans over Redskins
-Colts over Giants
-Saints over 49ers
Until next time peace.

Week 1 NFL Thoughts.
Now that the first week of NFL football is over, I can take a look back and see what, if anything, was learned.
I did learn that while the preseason records may not matter, the way you play does. That means you, Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys first team offense didn't play well during the preseason, often failing to end drives with touchdowns. That continued against the Redskins as Dallas didn't score any first half points, and only 7 overall. Of course it doesn't help if T. Romo can only do 3 step drops. I know they're missing two starting offensive linemen, but for a team that wants to host the Super Bowl in their own stadium, they've got to play better than they did Sunday night.
Another trendy preseason pick, the Jets didn't look so hot on offense either. The Ravens reminded them that games are won on the field and not on HBO. Ray Lewis showed why he's the best middle linebacker in the game, punishing Dustin Keller, hitting him so hard he lost track of downs later.

Sanchez definitely has work to do if the Jets will be playing late in January. Throwing for only 74 yards will not get it done. And they just might miss Thomas Jones.
Other thoughts:
- The Hayneswoth situation in DC is getting a bit annoying. Either trade him of let him play. His teammates say he's doing a good job and they want him out there. So can we please cut the power play.
- These are the same Browns. Wow that playoff season of a couple of years ago seems pretty distant doesn't it.:-/
Well those are just some thoughts. I have to see how bad I did with my 5 fantasy teams this week, but just know I left A. Foster and M. Forte on the bench. :-(
Until, next time.
