Week 2 NFL Picks Against the Spread

My Week 2 Picks based on the current spread:

Pittsburgh (-10) at Buffalo

A risky call but the Steelers looked absolutely dominant last week. The clincher is they're at home.

Cincinnati (-7) at Cleveland

The line's only at 7? I think Vegas is giving the Browns way too much credit.

Indianapolis (-7) at Tennessee

Peyton, Marvin, Reggie, defense looks great, the Colts will dominate.

Houston at Carolina (-6.5)

The Panthers cover at home.

San Francisco at St. Louis (-3)

San Francisco bounces back from a shaky week 1 victory to dominate the Rams.

Green Bay at New York Giants (-2.5)

Eli probably won't play and Green Bay looked great last week.

Atlanta at Jacksonville (-10)

Jacksonville will win this game, but by 10 points? I'm not sold after last week's anemic running performance. If the Jags get on track running the ball then they will cover (but I don't think that's going to happen).

New Orleans (-3.5) at Tampa Bay

The Saints will bounce back strong.

Minnesota at Detroit (-3)

The Vikings run the ball well and play solid defense. They'll cover.

Dallas (-3.5) at Miami

Tony Romo will pick apart another weak secondary.

Seattle (-3) at Arizona

Matt Leinhart looked terrible last week.

New York Jets at Baltimore (-9.5)

9.5? That's too much considering all those turnovers last week.

Oakland at Denver (-9.5)

The Broncos bounce back strong and run all over the Raiders. Travis Henry runs for 200 yards?

Kansas City at Chicago (-12)

The Chiefs stink. The Bears defense scores enough points to cover.

San Diego at New England (-3.5)

Belichick shows the world he doesn't need to cheat to win.

Washington at Philadelphia (-6.5)

This is a tough pick but I see the Eagles bouncing back strong.

Last week: 9-7
Season: 9-7

Whoever is counting the wins and losses, why do you keep putting in ties? There weren't any games decided right by the spread. Also, picking half the games right in a spread is what you're supposed to do. The spread evens out the line and makes picking a coin toss. What do you expect? For Scrap to get 75% of the games right? Bill Simmons often finishes under .500 as do a lot of other sports columnists.
