NFL Week 2
I'll start with a comment on the "Border War" as it's been called in the past - Pats at Jets. Everybody is focused on Moss vs. Revis, but I think there's a bigger matchup in this game: Mangold vs. Wilfork. Both got the big money in the offseason, and the winner of this nose-to-nose duel will have more impact on who wins the division than the so-called "skill" positions. Should be fun to watch. Now for the picks.
KC +3 @ Cleve
I don't believe in the Browns or Mangenius. I also think that if I look at the game as Jake Delhomme vs Matt Cassel, I give the edge to Cassel
@ Dal -7 vs Chicago
The Bears should've lost last week to the Lions. The 'boys are better on both sides of the ball than Detroit.
I was torn between dropping one of these two games and taking the Colts -5 at home vs the Giants. In the end, I decided that looked like a sucker spread. I wonder what the bookies know about the Colts that we don't.
SUICIDE PICK: Green Bay
Buffalo sucks and there's no other prime time to pick the Packers until week 13.
