My Picks:
In addition to playing fantasy football, I play in a pickem league (where you select who you think will win each game every week) and a survival league (select one team every week that you think will win its matchup--you are out when you get one wrong and you cannot pick the same team twice). You can find all three football games on Yahoo!
Every week, I will give my football picks along with my thoughts regarding any particularly interesting matchups. As always, you should feel free to open up a discussion with comments. Here are this week's matchups with my picks in blue, my survival pick in purple, and previous survival picks
Atlanta vs. Arizona
The Falcons couldn't squeak by the Steelers, even with Roethlisberger's suspension, but I expect them to bounce back against Arizona which, without Kurt Warner, looks like a Cardinal with its head cut off.
Cincinnati vs. Baltimore
The Ravens had a short week to work with and the Bengals have to be angry after being humiliated by New England, but there's just too many ways Flacco and company can burn you.
Cleveland vs. Kansas City
Dallas vs. Chicago
The Cowboys looked completely discombobulated last week, but with the return of two starting offensive linemen, their offense should settle down.
Detroit vs. Philadelphia
Both teams lost their starting quarterbacks last week, but I'd feel better with Vick behind center than Hill.
Green Bay vs. Buffalo
Two opponents fell in week one, and week two has a lot of tough matchups. Looking at the Packers' schedule, there aren't that many perfect weeks to save them for, so I'm going with the safe pick this week for my Survival League.
Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh
This will be trench warfare, but the Titans have the better artillery with Vince Young.
Minnesota vs.
The Vikings' defense is just too good, and Favre will get back on track this week.
Carolina vs. Tampa Bay
Denver vs. Seattle
Oakland vs. St. Louis
New York Jets vs. New England
If the Jets can contain Wes Welker and convert third down, they can win a relatively low scoring game. I suspect they'll pull it off, but it won't be pretty.
San Diego vs. Jacksonville
Washington vs. Houston
Last week the Texans showed us what they can do on the ground. Against the Redskins, they'll remind us what they can do through the air.
Indianapolis vs. New York Giants
The Colts start 0-2? Not likely! The Giants will succeed early with their running game, but once the Colts gain the lead, little brother Eli won't be able to keep up.
San Francisco vs. New Orleans
