Last week was one of the worst week’s in pick ’em history for D4L. I finished 4-12 and Chip finished 5-11. I will say, though, that I was dead on with the Bills/Patriots game. I said that the Bills would keep it tight (which they did, obviously) and that it would come down to the final possession (it did). I said ultimately, the Bills would fail and, sure enough, they did (in the worst of ways). I’ll chalk last week up as a moral victory (meh).
This week we have a lot of tough, close odds from Vegas and it could wind up being another tough week for the D4L projection’s crew. We’ve studied the games a lot more carefully this week and expect to rebound like we’re Ben Wallace in his prime.
Without further ado, here are my picks for Week 2:
Like last week, I stupidly picked the Lions to cover. I don’t think it’s that stupid, though. It’s 10 points in their home opener, which they just sold out (despite an 0-16 season last year). They might be the worst team in the NFL, but I think the Lions will play inspired for the first time in years and keep it close, if not win.
I think the game of the week will be Sunday afternoon’s Bears/Steelers game. Steelers are favored by three points, but I think the Bears are going to cover & win in their home opener. Jay Cutler sugar levels will bounce back and he’ll lead the Bears to their first victory in his era. Count on it.
I see Green Bay going off on the Bengals this week. That’s all.
If you hate my picks and want something different, sort of, here are Chip’s:
And deciding to join us from now on is the forever elusive, Dupree. Here are HIS picks.
