Dustin's Week 2 Picks

Jets at Patriots:  Patriots.  I was really surprised that this game was as close as it was.  The Patriots really need to get things together if they want to be successful this year . . . granted, they probably can still win the AFC East with the way they're playing.

Panthers at Bills:  Panthers.  The Panthers CANNOT afford to lose this game.  While the Bills looked good against the Patriots, the Panthers are a better team, especially with that improved defense.  However, the Panthers always seem to underplay, so the Bills could come out on top.  Rivera's job is in jeopardy if that's case, though.

Vikings at Bears:  Bears.  The Bears definitely surprised me on Sunday.  Maybe they'll start 7-1 this year again and miss the playoffs.  If that's the case, they'll definitely win this game.

Cowboys at Chiefs:  Cowboys.  Everybody thinks the Chiefs are great because of their dominating performance in Week 1 . . . but people overlook the fact they were playing the horrible, awful Jaguars (who didn't cross the 50 yard line until the 4th quarter) . . . Now the Cowboys didn't really play that great, but I'm not convinced about the Chiefs yet.


Dolphins at Colts:  Colts.  I was surprised it took the Colts so much effort to beat the Raiders.  The Dolphins took a little while to off the ground on Sunday, but in the end, they won by a fairly significant margin.  However, I faith that the Colts will play better and therefore, they'll come out with the win.

Chargers at Eagles:  Eagles.  Both teams had second half collapses in their Week 1 matchups, but I think the Eagles are actually the better team here (DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy played amazing!)

UPSET Rams at Falcons:  Rams.  I need an upset pick, and think this one is the most likely.  The Rams played very well against the Cardinals, the Falcons offense looked a little flat against a sub-par Saints defense.

Redskins at Packers:  Packers.  This one is kind of a toss up.  RGIII took a little while to get into the groove on Monday night, and I think it might take a little bit more time, especially if Alfred Morris doesn't step it up.  The Packers, meanwhile, looked as dangerous as ever, even though they always find someway to lose to the 49ers.

Browns at Ravens:  Ravens.  Ravens will have a bounce back this week against the Browns.  I actually thought the Browns would win last week, and I think they're definitely better than last year, but they're still  inexperienced and the Ravens should be able to grab this one.

Titans at Texans:  Texans.  Either the Texans got off to a slow start or the Chargers are actually a decent team this year.  Whatever the case, I think the Titans beating the Steelers in Week 1 was a fluke and I wouldn't expect to see their streak continue here.

LOCK Saints at Bucs:  Saints.  The Bucs did not look very good against the Jets.  The Saints, on the other hand, looked great against the Falcons.  This season, expect the Saints to rise to the top of the NFC South.  Oh, and the Bucs will most likely be the cellar dweller.

Lions at Cardinals:  Lions.  Reggie Bush really added another dimension to the Lions offesnse, which was running on all cylinders on Sunday.  Palmer and Fitzgerald definitely had a great first game, but I think the Lions will pull this one out.

Broncos at Giants:  Broncos. Eli has never beaten Peyton, and I don't think that streak will end here, especially if the Giants turnover count matches the number of TD passes Peyton will surely get in this one.

Jaguars at Raiders:  Raiders.  Terrelle Pryor was impressive in his opening game, with the exception of some poor passing decisions.  The Jaguars are just that bad, though.  The Raiders will win this game easily.

WASH 49ers at Seahawks:  49ers.  This game is going to be great!  The 49ers looked a lot better in their opener than the Seahawks did though, so I think they're going to pull it out.

Steelers at Bengals:  Bengals.  The Steelers looked absolutely TERRIBLE against the Titans.  Bengals, on the other hand, played pretty well and A.J. Green was amazing.  I'd be surprised if the Bengals dropped this one.
