KG's Week 2 Picks

Rough opening week. 7-9. It's all good though, once we figure out who these teams really are, we'll get rolling again. A-Mac didn't fair too much better. Both my fantasy teams pretty much destroyed my opponents last week. Hoping for similar events this time around. Anywho, here we go! Week 2 picks!

Seattle @ Denver: Well, who saw Seattle coming out of nowhere to beat down the niners? That was pretty much a shock. Can they recreate that performance against their old time division rivals from back in the day when they were still part of the AFC? They have a chance to win this game, because the Broncos really aren't very good. I do think that we begin to see how inconsistent Seattle will be this year and the Broncos will win their first of the season. But it will be questionable for a bit.

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee: An interesting game. How do you gauge how good Tennessee is after beating up Oakland? I mean, come on. Pittsburgh got a hard fought win against Atlanta, mostly because of their defense. Tennessee has a more explosive offense, with the best running back in the league right now back there. I think that they will manage to grind out this one against the Steelers. Give me Tennessee.

Baltimore @ Cincinnati: Another good matchup here. Last year Cinci managed to get both games from Baltimore. This is an either way one, for me. Baltimore's defense was as we always remember it against the Jets. Hard hitting, punishing, and stingy. But will they be able to do the same thing against a Cinci team with Chad Johnson and TO? Cinci's defense played very poorly against the Pats, and Baltimore's offense is greatly improved with the addition of Anquan Boldin. I believe I've talked myself into it. I think the Ravens will take the first one from the Bengals.

Philadelphia @ Detroit: Detroit came oh so close last week. They are much better than they were, and there are a lot of questions in Philly. Either way, I have trouble picking the Lions until they show that they are able to overcome adversity. So I'll go with the Eagles.

Arizona @ Atlanta: Tough game. Arizona continues to be underrated, and they are still working to find their stride with a new quarterback in Derrick Anderson. He was very close several times with Larry Fitzgerald, and when they finally do get on the same channel together, they will be very dangerous. So, I'll take Atlanta in this one.

Miami @ Minnesota: Miami had a nice warm up game against a bad Bills team, but will have more of a challenge with Minnesota and what is always a very strong defense. Still working with a new QB and WR team, I think the Vikings will have a good bounce back performance this week and get back to 1-1.

Kansas City @ Cleveland: Cleveland continues to stink, and a handy win over San Diego last week makes the Chiefs an easy pick this week.

Tampa Bay @ Carolina: This particular division is always hard to pick because whoever is bad the previous year seems to get better the next year. Or, the teams that were good one year, are suddenly not so great the following year. Carolina, however, should still be better than Tampa. I'll take the Panthers in this one.

Buffalo @ Green Bay: Another long game for the Buffalo guys. Green Bay will run away with this one, and Aaron Rodgers will put up great numbers for my fantasy squad this week.

Chicago @ Dallas: Chicago is still not very good. Cutler is going to be harassed this week by a very good pass rush, and the Bears will lose this one.

St. Louis @ Oakland: Ahhh, this is actually kind of a tough pick. Raiders stink, and really have no up side. Rams stink, and have a very small up side. Based off of their performance against the run last week, I think the Raiders could be in some trouble. Steven Jackson may have a field day against these guys. It is because of that, that I am going to pick, that's right, the Rams!!

Jacksonville @ San Diego: San Diego had a big let down first week, which makes me happy because I hate Phillip Rivers. Some classless punk who just talks a whole bunch of trash, but really has only ever been known as a choke artist when it comes right down to it. Though I think the Chargers will be able to handle a not that great Jags team this week.

New England @ NY Jets: Could be a good one here. The Jets D is still very good, and the Pats are still quite old. Revis will be all over Moss, but the big question matchup wise with the Pats is always who is going to match up with Wes Welker. If the Jets can minimize the Welker factor, they will win. They also have shown that they know how to get pressure on Brady, and they will. I think the Jets pull this one out late.

Houston @ Washington: HUGE win for the Texans last week. They were finally able to get over the hump against the Colts. They've been so close and always managed to blow it. They have learned how to win, and what a performance by Arian Foster. I think the Texans will manage to squeak by while they are on their high!

NY Giants @ Indianapolis: The Manning Bowl! I know they didn't play very well last week, but Peyton is still Peyton. I think that the Colts bounce back from a disappointing loss to one a team they always own. Colts.

New Orleans @ San Francisco: What an egg the niners laid last week! Wow. Bad time to be running low on confidence. I think that Singletary has them ready, and they'll play a good game, but the Saints will just be too much.

Alright A-Mac! Bring on your picks!! And everybody reading, let me know about your picks!!
