Phil's week 2 picks
Cardinals (1-0) @ Falcons (0-1)
Struggling against the Rams suspect secondary cannot make fans in the desert very comfortable.
PICK: FALCONS
Zach's thought: Matt Ryan over DA. Falcons

Ravens (1-0) @ Bengals (0-1)
Don't bet on Cincinnati sweeping this series for a second straight year.
PICK: RAVENS
Zach's thought: I just figure Cincinnati has to be revved up here. Bengals.

Chiefs (1-0) @ Browns (0-1)
The biggest difference between these two teams is Kansas City is getting a whole lot more out of their recent draft picks.
PICK: CHIEFS
Zach's thought: Things can't be that bad in C-town. Browns

Bears (1-0) @ Cowboys (0-1)
Chicago is a play away from being 0-1 while Dallas is a play away from being 1-0.
PICK: COWBOYS
Zach's thought: Whoever plays less worse wins. Cowboys.

Eagles (0-1) @ Lions (0-1)
Both teams have quarterback issues. Taking Detroit with Stafford out of the lineup is hard to do.
PICK: EAGLES
Zach's thought: Vick whispers get louder. Eagles

Bills (0-1) @ Packers (1-0)
Losing Ryan Grant is a blow to Green Bay, but should still be able to win here rather easily.
PICK: PACKERS
Zach's thought: Trap game here, but I still like the Pack. Packers.

Steelers (1-0) @ Titans (1-0)
No Ben Roethlisberger, no chance here.
PICK: TITANS
Zach's thought: Nate Washington has something to prove. Titans.

Dolphins (1-0) @ Vikings (0-1)
The schedule makers did Miami no favors, having them open the first two weeks of the season on the road with the second game being against a Minnesota team with 10 days rest.
PICK: VIKINGS
Zach's thought: There may be something to the idea that Favre is done. Vikings.

Buccaneers (1-0) @ Panthers (0-1)
This game isn't on local TV? Oh darn.
PICK: PANTHERS
Zach's thought: Jimmy Clausen... maybe. Panthers.

Seahawks (1-0) @ Broncos (0-1)
When in doubt, pick the home team. And yes, I'm in doubt here.
PICK: BRONCOS
Zach's thought: Pete Carroll's Richard Simmons act will get old fast. Broncos.

Rams (0-1) @ Raiders (0-1)
The black hole should be able to rattle rookie QB Sam Bradford.
PICK: RAIDERS
Zach's thought: The Los Angeles Memorial Bowl goes to the Raiders.

Patriots (1-0) @ Jets (0-1)
Upset Special. I hate using the term "must win" in week 2, but New York cannot afford to open the season with two straight losses at home.
PICK: JETS
Zach's thought: For people who think the Jets are awesome... they lost to the Bills last year. Patriots.

Jaguars (1-0) @ Chargers (0-1)
Opening the season on the road, against a revved up divisional team, in lousy weather gives San Diego a Mulligan for their week 1 performance.
PICK: CHARGERS
Zach's thought: San Diego didn't look right. Chargers.

Texans (1-0) @ Redskins (1-0)
No team looked worse in victory last week than Washington.
PICK: TEXANS
Zach's thought: Good teams win these. I believe the Texans are a good team. Texans.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Giants (1-0) @ Colts (0-1)
Who are the quarterbacks for this game? I forgot....really wish the media would remind me.
PICK: COLTS
Zach's thought: Will there PLEASE be a Sony commercial where Peyton Manning beats up Justin Timberlake? Colts.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Saints (1-0) @ 49ers (0-1)
Some free advice: if you are in an eliminator/survivor pool, take New Orleans this week.
PICK: SAINTS
Zach's thought: This looked like a good idea at the time. Saints.

LAST WEEK 8-8
Z: 9-7
