Overall Record:  7-6

Schmear of the Week:  0-1

BAGELS in the Basket:  -2

WEEK TWO:

(Friday Line ~ NYDN)

Cardinals -1 (GIANTS)

The Cards were one of the best teams to not make the playoffs last season.  The Giants aren't ready for this.

WIN, 25-14 Cards

PACKERS -8 (Jets)

Can I see the Packers starting 0-2?  No.  Can I see the Jets starting 1-1?  Yes.

Loss, 31-24 Packers

Lions +2 1/2 (PANTHERS)

Hell yeah I'll take +2 1/2 with the Lions!  A definite risk worth taking.

Loss, 24-7 Panthers

Dolphins -1 (BILLS)

Someone has to lose this battle of Week 1 surprises.  Too early in the year for Buffalo's weather to impact a Miami team.

Loss, 29-10 Bills

*HOGS -6 (Jaguars)

The sun shines on a swine's posterior at least once a day too.

WIN, 41-10 Hogs

TITANS -3 1/2 (Cowboys)

...because the Cowboys are off to a ruinous season.

Loss, 26-10 Cowboys

Patriots -3 (VIKINGS)

I've been thinking about this too much.  That usually means stay away.

WIN, 30-7 Patriots

Saints -6 1/2 (BROWNS)

Last week, the Saints begged Atlanta to beat them,  Saints have always sucked on the road, but I'll try anyway.

Loss, 26-24 Browns

BENGALS -5 (Falcons)

See above.  The Bengals may have finally figured this thing out.

WIN, 24-10 Bengals

Rams +5 (BUCS)

...because it's chic to dump on the Bucs right now.

WIN, 19-17 Rams

Seahawks -5 (CHARGERS)

Interested to see how Phillip Rivers handles the LoB.

Loss, 30-21 Chargers

Texans -3 (RAIDERS)

I'd even be willing to go -5 on this one.

WIN, 30-14 Texans

BRONCOS -12 (Chiefs)

I have the Chiefs totally misjudged. Take Peyton Manning the favorite and lay the points at home.

Loss, 24-17 Broncos

49ERS -7 (Bears)

What a disappointment the Bears were last week.  I can't see them spoiling the 49ers stadium opener.

Loss, 28-10 Bears

Schmear of the Week: (0-1)

Texans -3

Win

Buffalo shrimp and chicken wings PARM(!) with good ol' Coronas and lime.  What's on your Football menu?

Good luck and Happy Football Sunday everybody!

Post Game:

Week Two Record:  6-8
