Week 2 picks by laudablepuss 09/11/2003, 3:43pm PDT
Buffalo vs Jacksonville. The Bills stomped all over their division rival while the Jags gave up, what was it? a two TD lead? something like that. Nice work. But I don't read much into the Bill's victory since it WAS a division rival that they always get pumped up about playing and Milloy's presence added to that. Also, Travis Henry continues to fumble. I pick Jacksonville in a huge upset. Side note: everyone at ESPN thinks the Bills will win.

New England vs Philly. The Shut Out Bowl. I predict a 0-0 tie! Ha ha! Now that I've made the same joke that several hundred sportswriters are no doubt comming up with independantly, I'll tell you what I really think. The Philly players should be motivated by the white-hot terror of another home loss, especially given the fact that they all expect another shot at getting to the Super Bowl. I think they'll even overcome the crappy play-calling from Andy Ried to win this one. Philadelphia eeks out an ugly win.

On the other end of the spectrum, two teams that beat the fuck out of their opponents last week, the Steelers at the Chiefs. This one is tough. Call me a romantic, but I'm still hoping that KC takes the pipe this season. I'll go with Pittsburgh in this one.

Seahawks vs Cardinals. In years gone by, this would be the NFL Presents Warning Do Not Watch Football game. Now we have the reincarnation of the not-even-dead-yet Randy Moss on Arizona and the emergence, supposedly, of great quarterbacking in Seattle. So okay, I'll check it out if it's on TV. The Cards gave up 4 TDs and the Hawks historically have had really really shitty run defense. On a hunch that Rhodes hasn't had enough time to beef up that aspect of the team, I think Emmit and the Cardinals will win this one. I guess that'll be extra bad news for the Seahawks since they apparently can't sell out their home games.

The rest:

Cleveland at Jacksonville.
Detroit at Green Bay (Another team looking at three straight home losses. Yikes.)
Houston at Nawlins
Miami at New York Jets
Tennessee at Indianapolis
Washington at Atlanta
Carolina at Tampa
Cincinnati at Oakland
Denver at San Diego
New England at Philly
Chicago at Minnesota
And Dallas at New York Giants on Monday night.

Note: I have a very bad feeling about these picks overall! I may actually have them all exactly wrong this week.
