Week 2 is always fun. After Week 1, you start thinking you have a pretty good idea of where teams are, and you forget that every year a few teams come along and shit on your windshield. This time it was teams like Cincinnati, Seattle, and San Diego. Right now we're telling ourselves "alright, next year I'm definitely going to remember that it always takes 3-4 weeks for the teams to shake themselves out," but next year we'll probably do it all over again. We got blanked on the gambling picks this week, thanks to horrendous performances by the Saints, Seahawks, and Bengals -- 51 points to the Cleveland Browns?!?! I've seen Pop Warner teams that could've held Crennel's offense to under 35 points.
Week 2 also saw Denver and St. Louis continue their disappointing ways. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is starting to look like they will blow the rest of the AFC North out of the water with ease, but they haven't been challenged too much yet. We'll see how they handle the Seattle, Denver, Cincinnati stretch in a couple weeks before we get too excited. But those three are going to have to play a helluva lot better than they did this week. Houston -- the Copperhouse sleeper pick of the year -- continued to look promising, and Green Bay stayed on track as well, as both teams improved to 2-0.
New England, coming off the Cameragate scandal of last weeks Jets game, came out last night and put an old fashioned beatdown onto the Chargers, playing the classic "Good team thats getting no respect" game.
So far, my two Super Bowl picks have managed to go 1-3 to start the season and both are looking pretty abysmal.
