Week 2
Rules: simply pick the winner of each game listed. No score required (though a little added commentary on your picks won't be discouraged). You must make your picks before the first game of the week (usually Thursday Night Football) to be eligible for all the games. If you miss Thursday, you can still make picks for Saturday/Sunday games. If you haven't picked the Sunday games by the start of the first game (1pm EST), your Sunday picks won't count.
If I've liked your post, consider your picks logged and recorded. So if you want to change them, best tell me in another post.

If I remember correctly, a better week 1 start overall than last year. Not for me though.

Thursday September 12th 8:20pm EST Tampa Bay @ Carolina I did all that winning with Cam in my main league lineup somehow. I literally hit on everyone else. I hope he bounces back here. He looked like garbage. Sunday September 15th 1:00pm Dallas @ Washington Indianapolis @ Tennessee Week one showed me that the Colts are much better than people think they are going to be. They should have won that game, honestly. Seattle @ Pittsburgh I am not confident in either of these teams right now. Buffalo @ NY Giants Crapfest 2019 here, but I think Buffalo actually starts 2-0 somehow. New England @ Miami Joke matchup of the week. I know DC Fan will cry all year because the Patriots look scary good to me. They have to be the huge favorites right now. Jacksonville @ HoustonMinnesota @ Green Bay This matchup is even to me. Green Bay is at home so I'll give it to them. LA Chargers @ Detroit San Francisco @ Cincinnati Are the Bengals decent? I watched that entire game and the defense looked great. They got pressure all day, granted against that Seahawks line, but still. Arizona @ Baltimore I was really high on Baltimore coming into the season. They are good everywhere. 4:05pm Kansas City @ Oakland I really believe Oakland is way better than people think this year. They will get to 7 wins. This won't be one of them though. 4:25pm New Orleans @ LA RamsChicago @ Denver 8:20pm Philadelphia @ Atlanta I am really worried about this game. Atlanta will come out desperate. Philly will have to start better than week one. Monday September 16th 8:15pm Cleveland @ NY Jets Can I just not pick this one? Part of me wants to pick the Jets at home but I think Cleveland bounces back. They are just too talented on paper. I had the best first week of my life in football. All my fantasy teams won. I finished first in a money weekly pick 'em league against the spread. I won a few hundred dollars on Fanduel. My Eagles won. It was really amazing honestly. Anyway, here are my picks for week 2.

Tampa Bay @ Carolina - TNF can be tricky but on paper, it looks like McCaffrey will run riot all over the Bucs. PANTHERS win.
Dallas @ Washington - COWBOYS look very strong all round, though I wouldn't be surprised if Washington pull it out.
Indianapolis @ Tennessee - COLTS would've beaten the Chargers if not for an uncharacteristic bad day from Vinatieri. They win here.
Seattle @ Pittsburgh - SEAHAWKS grind out a win to send Pittsburgh into panic mode.
Buffalo @ NY Giants - We'll get plenty of WIDE RIGHT references in this matchup, most of them referring to Josh Allen's passing. GIANTS get a W.
New England @ Miami - Hahahahaha. I mean, PATRIOTS win.
Jacksonville @ Houston - The TEXANS look better than I thought. If Watson manages to stay alive vs an angry Jags defense, he should be able to outduel Minshew at home.
Minnesota @ Green Bay - Eh, not sure. I'll go with the PACKERS at home.
LA Chargers @ Detroit - CHARGERS perform better on the road.
San Francisco @ Cincinnati - Shanahan is a wizard and I like SF's defense. 49ERS win this 80s callback matchup.
Arizona @ Baltimore - Cards suck. RAVENS won't allow Murray to shine.
Kansas City @ Oakland - I agree with DSD; the Raiders will get quite a few wins this season, but not here. CHIEFS prevail even if Mahomes is less mobile than usual.
New Orleans @ LA Rams - RAMS take it. The only question is how many lawsuits arise as a result?
Chicago @ Denver - I think the BRONCOS will bounce back at home. Vic Fangio will know how to beat Matt Nagy.
Philadelphia @ Atlanta - FALCONS in a must-win situation and they get to face a porous Eagles secondary at home.
Cleveland @ NY Jets - Yikes. Such early promise for both teams, yet one will go down 0-2. I'll give it to the Br- no, wait a minute. I'm going JETS.

They just do not look good at all.

Very interesting slate of games this week, here are my picks
Panthers over Buccaneers - Panthers are at home and have a stronger defense and more talent, they will win.
Cowboys over Redskins - Cowboys are a far more talented team on both sides of the ball.
Titans over Colts - Titans appear to be somewhat underrated and I think their defense will limit the Colts offense.
Seahawks over Steelers - This is a very hard pick, but I think the Seahawks will be able to establish a rushing attack against the Steelers and they match up pretty well against them so I will take them to win on the road.
Bills over Giants - Bills have a far superior defense and will win at MetLife Stadium 2 weeks in a row.
Patriots over Dolphins - Pats are far superior and their offense will shred the Fins defense and they will get the win despite the fact that they usually struggle in Miami.
Texans over Jaguars - Texans are better on both sides of the ball, the Jags defense has collapsed and the Jags are playing with a backup QB, Texans win.
Vikings over Packers - Difficult pick, but the Vikings were more impressive in Week 1 and have more talent, so I’ll pick them to win a close one.
Chargers over Lions - Chargers have a superior team on both sides of the ball and I don’t think the Lions have what it takes to compete with top tier teams after their choke against the Cards.
Bengals over 49ers - Another very hard pick, but I’ll take the Bengals because they are at home, Dalton put up 400 yards against the Seahawks last week and the Niners have a weaker secondary, Bengals get the win.
Ravens over Cardinals - Ravens will get the win at home as they have far more talent and the Cards are rebuilding.
Chiefs over Raiders - Chiefs have far more talent, Mahomes will put up big numbers once again.
Rams over Saints - Difficult pick, but I like how the Rams match up against the Saints, and they have so many weapons on offense that I think it will be too much for the Saints defense to handle, Rams win in a close, high scoring game.
Bears over Broncos - The Bears strong defense will suffocate Flacco and the Broncos.
Falcons over Eagles - Another difficult pick, but the Eagles secondary looked awful last week and the Falcons excellent passing attack will carve them up and the Falcons are at home where they usually play very well.
Browns over Jets - Browns will rebound from their disappointing start with a convincing win over a mediocre Jets team.

Tampa Bay @ Carolina: Carolina Dallas @ Washington: Dallas Indianapolis @ Tennessee: Tennessee Seattle @ Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh Buffalo @ NY Giants: Giants New England @ Miami: New England Jacksonville @ Houston: Houston Minnesota @ Green Bay: Green Bay LA Chargers @ Detroit: Chargers San Francisco @ Cincinnati: San Francisco Arizona @ Baltimore: Baltimore Kansas City @ Oakland: KC New Orleans @ LA Rams: New Orleans Chicago @ Denver: Denver Philadelphia @ Atlanta: Atlanta Cleveland @ Jets: Jets
Carolina wins a shoot out with Tampa. Going to be a 40+ point game. Dallas beats the Foreskins red. Titans surprise everyone by going 2-0. Pittsburgh bounces back and edges Seattle. Giants tread water and it's enough to get by Buffalo, but their fat ass defense needs to get out of it's own way for that to happen! New England/Miami is going to be ugly. Maybe the Patsies will take pity on them and only win by 20. Houston takes advantage of a QBless Jaguars team. Once again the Packers ride on Rodgers back to glory. Chargers light up that decrepit city Detroit. Niners continue to win under Grapappopolisky! Baltimore hands Arizona their asses. Ravens are prime candidates to take first in the North right now. KC whoops Oakland. Expect some fights to break out. Saints get revenge on the Rams in a shoot out. Denver gets by Chicago because of high altitude and science. Falcons squeak by the Eagles in one of the more interesting games. Whoever loses between Browns/Jets is going to catch shit from the fan base. Siding with the Jets. It's going to be less who wants it more and more about who is going to fuck up more. |

Thursday September 12th
8:20pm EST
Tampa Bay @ Carolina
- Jameis is awful. McCaffrey could probably beat this team on his own.
Sunday September 15th
1:00pm
Dallas @ Washington
- Dallas looked awesome in week one. Was against the shitty Giants but still.
Indianapolis @ Tennessee
- Not buying the Tittens week one performance. Hopefully Marlon Mack has another monster game.
Seattle @ Pittsburgh
- The Steelers, Falcons, Browns, Bears all looked like pure garbage in week one. Deion Sanders even stated that he thinks Ben won't finish this season which would be interesting. They just really lacked in every aspect on Sunday night. I'm not sure they're going to be any good this year.
Buffalo @ NY Giants
- Toss up for me here so I'm going to go with the youth of Josh Allen over the experience of Eli Manning. The Bills defense is supposed to be good this year. Hopefully they give Singletary more of a work load. He could be this years Nick Chubb once he gets the playing time. 4 carries for 70 yards is impressive.
New England @ Miami
- Anyone who picks Miami here should be drug tested immediately. The over couldn't be high enough.
Jacksonville @ Houston
- Minshew looked good against the Chiefs however the Saints just barely edged out a victory over this Texans team. Texans got the home field so I'm going with Watson and the Texans.
Minnesota @ Green Bay
- Vikings showed an impressive rushing attack while the Packers showed an impressive defense. I think the Vikings O-Line will have an issue protecting Cousins and GB has good DB's to limit Diggs and Theilen. Going GB here as the Pack Offense continues to develop.
LA Chargers @ Detroit
- Chargers have some key players missing however after that performance by Detriot against the Cardinals I wouldn't feel comfortable picking them against half the league right now.
San Francisco @ Cincinnati
- No comment really.
Arizona @ Baltimore
- I really want to see Lamar Jackson play after his performance against the Dolphins. Is he legit or are the Dolphins just that bad?
4:05pm
Kansas City @ Oakland
- Raiders looked improved last night however unless Mahomes isn't able to play because his ankle injury I've got to pick the Chiefs here even without Tyreek Hill. Mecole Hardman should get some looks this game.
4:25pm
New Orleans @ LA Rams
- If Todd Gurley was 100% healthy I'd be picking them but that doesn't seem to be the case. Plus the Rams don't seem to have much of a home field advantage as visiting fan bases seem to over power that crowd so it's not really an issue.
Chicago @ Denver
- Battle of the shitty Quarterbacks. I was expecting to see an improved Denver Defense with Fangio taking over as they have some talent on that side with Miller, Chubb, Harris but they didn't seem to do much Monday night. So I'll side with the Bears Defense here getting to Flacco.
8:20pm
Philadelphia @ Atlanta
- Falcons flat out looked like shit. Stats say the game was more competitive than it was. In the end Matt Ryan got to 300 yards but it was all just meaningless stats unless you're starting him in fantasy. Had you not watched the game maybe you could feel otherwise but don't fool yourself. Falcons looked horrible.
Monday September 16th
8:15pm
Cleveland @ NY Jets
- I'm not bailing on the Browns just yet like some people are. I still think they'll be a playoff team. Just a few things that they need to wrinkle out. Mostly stop committing an ungodly amount of penalties.
