NFL Picks of the Week

Posted: 20 Sep 2009 08:57 AM PDT

Last Week's Line Record: I picked 6 right and 9 wrong

Last Week's W-L: 9-6

Panthers (o-1) at Falcons (1-o)

Line: Atlanta by 6

My Pick: Atlanta

My projected score: 31-10 Falcons win

Comments: The Panthers offense looked dismal in Week 1 against the Eagles. The Falcons looked good in Week 1. Looks like an easy pick to me.

Vikings (1-0) at Lions (0-1)

Line: Vikings by 10

My pick: Vikings

My projected score: 35-7 Vikings win

Comments: Adrian Peterson should run all over this defense. The Lions will look like domestic cats in this game, as they get roughed up by the Vikes.

Bengals (0-1) at Packers (1-0)

Line: Packers by 9

My pick: Bengals

Projected score: 24-17 Packers win

Comments: This line favors the Packers too much. The Bengals have a potent passing game, and that should at least keep them in the game. The Packers will still win though, especially at Lambeau.

Texans (0-1) at Titans (0-1)

Line: Titans by 7

My Pick: PUSH

Projected score: 21-28 Titans win

Comments: This will be a close game between two teams that favor the run. I think the Titans defense will step up and stop Steve Slaton. I believe the line is right on target here.

Raiders (0-1) at Chiefs (0-1)

Line: Chiefs by 2

My pick: Raiders

Projected score: 17-14 Raiders win

Comments: Even though Matt Cassel is playing for the Chiefs, I think the Raiders will be abe to pull one out on the road. Cassel doesn't have enough talent around him (including the defense) to beat most teams (even the Raiders).

Patriots (1-0) at Jets (1-0)

Line: Patriots by 4

My pick: Patriots

Projected score: 31-14 Patriots win

Comments: The Patriots won a close game last week. In this game, the Pats will return to form against the Jets. The Patriots defense will terrorize rookie Mark Sanchez.

Saints (1-0) at Eagles (1-0)

Line: Eagles by 3

My pick: Saints

Projected score: 28-24 Saints win

Comments: I picked the Eagles to lose last week, and I'll do it again here (hopefully the same thing will happen and I'll be wrong). I just don't see how Kevin Kolb can outscore the Saints potent offense.

Rams (0-1) at Redskins (0-1)

Line: Redskins by 10

My pick: 'Skins

Projected score: 21-10 Redskins win

Comments: The Rams are one of the worst teams in the league, and they won't pull off a road win against the tough Redskin D.

Cardinals (0-1) at Jaguars (0-1)

Line: Jaguars by 3

My pick: Cardinals

Projected score: 31-14 Cardinals win

Comments: With Anquan Boldin back at close-to-full strength, I think the Cardinals offense will flourish.

Buccaneers (0-1) at Bills (0-1)

Line: Buffalo by 4

My pick: Buccaneers

Projected score: 21-17 Buccs win

Comments: The Bills D held their own against the Patriots, but I don't think they will be able to stop the running back duo of Ward and Williams.

Seahawks (1-0) at 49ers (1-0)

Line: Seahawks by 1

My pick: 49ers

Projected score: 24-21 49ers win

Comments: No comment

Steelers (1-0) at Bears (0-1)

Line: Steelers by 3

My pick: Steelers

Projected score: 24-14 Steelers win

Comments: Jay Cutler struggled last week against the Packers... imagine what the Steelers defense will do to him.

Browns (0-1) at Broncos (1-0)

Line: Broncos by 3

My pick: Broncos

Projected score: 14-10 Broncos win

Comments: No comment.

Ravens (1-0) at Chargers (1-0)

Line: Chargers by 2

My pick: Ravens

Projected score: 28-24 Ravens win

Comments: This will be a very, very good game but I believe the Ravens have more talent and will pull one out on the road.

Giants (1-0) at Cowboys (1-0)

Line: Cowboys by 3

My pick: Giants

Projected score: 28-21 Giants win

Comments: BRING DOWN THE VIDEO BOARD! BRING DOWN THE VIDEO BOARD!

Colts (1-0) at Dolphins (0-10

Line: Colts by 3

My pick: Colts

Projected score: 31-21 Colts win

Comments: No comment
