Early Week 2 NFL Picks

NO -3 @ Bucs
Eagles -7 vs Wash
Bears -12 vs KC
Miami +3.5 vs Boys (I'm unsure about this bet.)
Minn +3 @ Lions
Jags -10.5 vs Atl
GB -1 @ NYG
Tenn +7.5 vs Indy (I'm a little unsure about this one. Indy looked real good against NO, but the Titans tend to play well at home and raise their game against Indy).)

i'd stay away from the Indy game....Tenn isn't a super great team and its hard to say that Indy won't come in and just clean blow them out of the water...hard to say.

Eagles -7 and Jags -10.5 would make me a little uneasy.

Also, I'd go the other way on that Dolphins-Cowboys game. Cowboys -3.5 is a great bet IMO, especially if they get CB Terrance Newman back for the game.

I like Miami +3.5 & the Bears -12...
No real opinion on the others.

Anyone like Oakland +10? Culpepper is getting the start.

I would say no. I think the Bills offense is considerably better than the Raiders no matter who is QB, and they scored 7 on offense at home. The Raiders D really needs to play a hell of a game to keep that one close.
It's possible I'm bitter that Oakland hurt me last week though.

IMHO, the Vikings +3 looks like a sucker bet. I'm inclined to take Detroit.

Meh, I doubt that the public will be on the Vikings there. If the distribution of Week 1 picks mean anything, there is a perception that the Lions are the better team I think.

I thought I was the only one who liked Minny this year.

I don't think the lines look too good this week. The only pick I like is the Saints -3.5 points. Ten days off since their disappointing opener should do them a lot of good.

I also kinda like the Redskins/Eagles over 40.

All the Adrian Peterson highlights went to my head and I wanted to jump on Minne till I remembered the Lions aren't going to be easy to run on. Minnesota's pass defense seems shaky and this seems like a good match for a Mike Marts lead offense. The Cowboys and Saints both seem tempting, same with seahawks -3
