You want em, I got em. Winners for all Week 2 NFL games.
Last week I picked 10 of 16 correctly. That s not bad. You need me to do better and I can, starting this week.
Or not.
Remember I m picking winners straight up, not against the spread. That is, scoreboard winners, not betting line winners.
Let s get right to it for Week 2
New York Jets at Buffalo http://www.jetshockeygear.com/toby-enstrom-jersey-c-24.html, Thursday
KRYK PICK New York Jets
I was right. Picked it Wednesday. First Thursday win of the season. Rolling now.
San Francisco at Carolina, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Carolina
The Panthers have had 10 days to stew over their one point loss at Denver. Surely, the 49ers aren t as good as that 28 0 thumping of the Rams late Monday night. Cam Newton and the Panthers will win big.
Baltimore at Cleveland, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Baltimore
Luke McCown is QB ing the Browns again, with RG3 done for a while with that broken shoulder bone. Ravens need to shore up their O line protection but their D ought to shut down the Browns.
Tennessee at Detroit, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Detroit
The Lions O sure didn t look like it missed Megatron very much, scoring a league high 39 points for Week 1 at Indy. Does Matt Stafford have his mojo back? Maybe, but I need to see more.
Kansas City at Houston, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Houston
Eight months ago in the AFC playoffs the Chiefs obliterated the Texans 30 0 at NRG Stadium. Embarrassed them. Texans haven t forgotten. With that new look offence, revenge should be theirs.
Miami at New England http://www.jetshockeygear.com/grant-clitsome-jersey-c-23.html, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
CTV Toronto, Kitchener, Montreal, Atlantic, Saskatchewan; via CBS
KRYK PICK New England
How do you pick against the Patriots, if they could win at Arizona in prime time last Sunday without half their star players? Answer you don t. Jimmy Garoppolo did a lot of things right subbing for Brady.
New Orleans at New York Giants, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
CTV Ottawa, Northern Ontario; via FOX
KRYK PICK New York Giants
Eli Manning and Drew Brees waged epic aerial warfare at the Superdome last season, combining for an NFL single game record 13 TD passes. Giants defence is much improved, Saints isn t.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
CTV B.C., Alberta, Winnipeg; via CBS
KRYK PICK Pittsburgh
Steelers made a decent Washington defence look bad for chunks of Monday night s game. There ll be enough distracting hate borne penalties, but Big Ben and Antonio will out perform Andy and A.J.
Dallas at Washington, Sunday, 1 p.m. EDT
TSN3 and TSN4; via FOX
KRYK PICK Dallas
Neither wants to start 0 2 in the NFC East. QB Dak Prescott starts on the road for the first time against an embarrassed Redskins team. But Prescott can make play. He ll find Dez Bryant often enough, too.
Tampa Bay at Arizona, Sunday, 4 05 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Arizona
While I wouldn t be surprised if Jameis Winston and the Bucs pull this one out to start 2 0, it s more likely that Carson Palmer and the Cardinals offence finally shake their funk and put up a lot of points.
Seattle at Los Angeles, Sunday, 4 05 p.m. EDT
CTV Two; via FOX
KRYK PICK Seattle
Even if Russell Wilson can play on that sprained ankle, this game will feature more ground level inching along than a centipede documentary. Thomas Rawls will outrun Todd Gurley, book it.
Indianapolis at Denver, Sunday, 4 25 p.m. EDT
CTV; via CBS
KRYK PICK Indianapolis
Upset of the week. No earthly reason to think the Colts can upset the Broncos, in Denver, other than the only reason high scoring Indy lost to Detroit was the Lions O was explosive. Denver s isn t.
Atlanta at Oakland, Sunday, 4 25 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK Oakland
The Falcons blew their home opener, now play 4 of 5 away. Hard to see them staying in this one, cross coast, because as many AFC teams feared the Raiders offence has come out smokin .
Jacksonville at San Diego, Sunday, 4 25 p.m. EDT
KRYK PICK San Diego
The Chargers were demolishing the Chiefs in KC, then inexplicably blew another huge lead against a division foe. Jax normally serves as next week salve for such hurting teams, but this game will be close.
Green Bay at Minnesota, Sunday, 8 30 p.m. EDT
TSN; via NBC
KRYK PICK Minnesota
TSN, via NBC
If Sam Bradford indeed makes his too rushed debut for Minnesota, he d better rely on AP a lot. The Vikes got the last laugh on the Pack in 15, and will again in the first real game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Philadelphia at Chicago, Monday, 8 30 p.m. EDT
TSN; via ESPN
KRYK PICK Philadelphia
Why not. Chicago s offence isn t much better than Cleveland s. Twenty points ought to do it, and Eagles rookie QB Carson Wentz ought to be up to that challenge in his first prime time nod.
BYES THIS WEEK None. They start in Week 4.
SEASON RECORD 10 6 .625
