Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles at Indianapolis Colts: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) at Indianapolis Colts (0-1) The Eagles were down 17-0 early against the Jaguars last week at home, before coming back and winning 34-17. Their offense looked solid again, as it did last season with Nick Foles, but their defense continued to struggle. This line suggests these two…

New Orleans Saints (0-1) at Cleveland Browns (0-1) Ordinarily, I don’t like to pick the Saints on the road. I was 15-2-1 ATS picking Saints games this year and it would be 15-1-2 if I had gotten -3 in the 49ers game and not -3.5, in an eventual New Orleans…

Arizona Cardinals (1-0) at New York Giants (0-1) The Cardinals were one of my overrated teams coming into the season and I still think that’s true, even after their 1 point comeback victory at home over the Chargers on Monday Night Football week 1. They get Tyrann Mathieu back from…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Oakland Raiders: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (1-0) at Oakland Raiders (0-1) This is a tough one and one I don’t really have a strong opinion on. On one hand, I don’t know if I’m ready to bet on the Texans as field goal favorites. On the other hand, I do think the Texans are…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Tennessee Titans: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (0-1) at Tennessee Titans (1-0) I had the Cowboys at 4-12 coming into the season, but even that might have been a little optimistic, based on their play against the 49ers week 1 in a 28-13 home loss. Their defense was just as bad as I expected, unable…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Miami Dolphins (1-0) at Buffalo Bills (1-0) I had these two teams as essentially even before the season started and I really have much of a reason to change that drastically right now. The Dolphins got an impressive home victory over the Patriots, but the Bills were able to win…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons at Cincinnati Bengals: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Atlanta Falcons (1-0) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) I had the Bengals going 12-4 before the season started. I thought they were better than their record last season because they were able to be a dominant team (11-5) without relying on always winning the turnover battle. Turnover margins are really unpredictable…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Washington Redskins: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) at Washington Redskins (0-1) The Redskins lost in Houston last week and it seems that people have already given up on them as a bounce back team. After all, the Texans won just 2 games last season. I don’t think that’s the right reaction. I think it’s…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots at Minnesota Vikings: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
New England Patriots (0-1) at Minnesota Vikings (1-0) This is the overreaction line of the week. A week ago, most people had the Patriots as one of the top few teams in the NFL and had the Vikings as mediocre at best. The Vikings looked good blowing out a Rams…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers: 2014 Week 2 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (1-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-0) The Lions were one of my underrated teams coming into the season. I felt the same way about the Lions as I did about the Panthers last season, when I predicted they would go 12-4, win the NFC South, and get a first…
