Bet! Bet! Bet! Bookies need your money.
Week 2 is usually the easiest week of the year. Oddsmakers don't seem to have a great handle on the teams, their new personnel, or injuries. I may even bet real money this week after mind-picking four out of four losers in the past week. Chicago sent carnival clowns rather than football players to Green Bay on Thursday.
The picks. Each star equals one betting unit ($110-100 in my case). Home teams in caps.
Texans -7 at JAGUARS ****
Highly touted Texans face off against weak, already injury ravaged Jacksonville in what should be a rout.
Redskins -3 1/2 at RAMS **
Why not! Washington and RGIII looked terrific last week. Rams appear to have little again this year, especially if they can't protect QB Sam Bradford.
Ravens +2 1/2 at EAGLES ***
This spread looks inverted. Ravens should be favored. Vick (4 interceptions) looked rusty after taking only 12 snaps in the exhibition season while sneaking by Cleveland 17-16 last week. Ravens with Joe Flacko and their new no-huddle offense were impressive.
Chiefs +3 at BILLS ***
Both teams unexpectedly got trounced last week. The difference is the Chiefs get inactive defensive players back, while the Bills lose a starting running back and a starting wide receiver.
Last Week: 0-0-0, Zero Stars
This Year: 0-0-0, Zero Stars
