Pete Priscos NFL Week 2 Picks Steelers t

[seestyle 0]

The good news after the first week of my picks is that I have a winning record, both against the spread and straight up.That's a good sign since I am usually a slow starter. More on the NFL I went 10-5- Fred Biletnikoff Jersey 1 straight up, and I intend to be even better this week. So jump on board for the ride. I did fade after a fast start in the early games Sunday, but still managed a nice week.There are a lot of key injuries in play this week, with quarterback being the biggest one, so it's tough to pick some of the games. But because I have to get these done by Wednesday night, and I have to pick all the games, I am doing some speculating, including expecting to see Rodgers Sunday against the .Like the 1-0 teams, I plan to build on my good start and gain some early-season momentum. So here are the Week 2 picks: Baltimore at CincinnatiThursday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NFLN)Line: Bengals -1Both teams won last week, but this is a tough turnaround in a division game for the . That will matter. This will be a low-scoring game, but I think the will win it.Pick: Bengals 20, Ravens 14 .Carolina at Atlanta1 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: Falcons -6The are banged up on offense and now must hit the road against a team that is rested with extra time. That's not a good combination. The do have some injury i sues on defense without safety Kenau Neal and linebacker . But I think the Atlanta offense comes alive after a slow first game. Pick: Falcons 27, Panthers 20Indianapolis at Washington1 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Redskins -6 threw it 53 times last week. It might be more than that if the are to have a chance here. I don't think they do, even if he does. The impre sed on defense last week and they Josh Jacobs Hoodies Sweatshirts will run a lot of here. Redskins big. Pick: Redskins 28, Colts 17 Houston at Tenne see1 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Texans -2The are banged up, including quarterback . But he was on the practice field Wednesday, so it looks like he will go. The are playing consecutive road games, and their offensive line is awful, which adds up to problems. The Titans will find a way to pull out an ugly game. Pick: Titans 19, Texans 16 Philadelphia at Tampa Bay1 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: Eagles -3The Bucs were impre sive in their opening road victory especially on offense. But this is a much tougher defense for to face. The will start against a banged-up Bucs secondary. Fitzpatrick won't play like he did last week, but he will keep his team close. Pick: Eagles 24, Bucs 23Kansas City at Pittsburgh1 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Steelers -4This is consecutive road games for the , which is always tough. It's even tougher against a wounded team that tied the last week. Pittsburgh will get it rolling here as they have defeated the Chiefs six of the last seven meetings. They make it seven of eight. Pick: Steelers 30, Chiefs 21Miami at 1 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Jets -3One of these two is going 2-0, and I think it will be the . They impre sed on defense last week in the opener. also did a nice job on offense. will have a tougher go of it in his second game. The Dolphins get to 2-0.Pick: Dolphins 21, Jets 20 at Buffalo Charles Woodson Jersey 1 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Chargers -7This is a long trip for the Chargers, but the good news is they get a team that isn't very good. This will also be 's first start for the Bills at quarterback. It's too bad he doesn't have much help. Chargers get a road victory. Pick: Chargers 28, Bills 10Minnesota at Green Bay1 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: Packers -1Will this be Aaron Rodgers at quarterback for the Packers or not? If they do have him, I think they win the game. If not, good luck. The hunch is he plays, so I am going with the Packers. Pick: Packers 24, Vikings 16Cleveland at New Orleans1 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: Saints -9The looked awful on defense last week, which has to be a concern. But I think there's more talent on that unit than showed up. They will play better here as the Saints get their first victory. Cleveland's defense did do some good things last week against the Steelers, which is why I think they can stay within the number. Pick: Saints 28, Browns 23Detroit at San Francisco4:05 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: 49ers -6The were awful in their opener and now face a tough trip to the west coast to face a team playing its home opener. The Lions won't be as bad, but I think they have major defensive i sues. has a big day. Pick: 30, Lions 20Arizona at 4:05 p.m. ET (Fox)Line: Rams - Jim Plunkett Jersey 12.5The Rams impre sed in their opener, while the struggled. But I don't think the Cardinals are as bad as they looked. The Rams are playing on a short week, and that will show up. The Rams take it, but it's close. Pick: Rams 26, Cardinals 20 New England at Jacksonville4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Patriots -1This is the best game of the week, a rematch of the AFC Championship Game. The won that game, but they won't win this one. The are even better this year on defense, which will slow and gang, while the Jaguars will make enough plays on offense to win it. Pick: Jaguars 21, Patriots 17Oakland at Denver4: Trevon Moehrig Jersey 25 p.m. ET (CBS)Line: Broncos -6The are playing a division rival on the road after a lo s on a short week. Oh, and they looked awful in the opener. The did some good things against the and I think that carries over. Without much resistance from the Oakland defense, and gang will roll up a bunch of points. Pick: Denver 31, Oakland 17 at Dallas8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)Line: Cowboys -3These two looked lifele s on offense last week in their games, so it's time to pick it up. With the at home, I will lean toward their offense coming to life. Look for to have a big day. Cowboys take it. Pick: Cowboys 20, Giants 16Seattle at ChicagoMonday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN)Line: Bears -3.5The Seahawks are playing consecutive road games, which is tough.
