Week 2 Pigskin Pick ‘em

Sign #2 that my return to the blogosphere will be a thrilling success: As soon as I put the finishing touches on this week’s IQLW, I was immediately seized by a tremendous feeling of regret: not only had I withheld for nearly a month from you, my loyal readers, the Greatest Weekly Feature in the History of the Interweb (vote tabulation pending), but I had also failed to offer my expert football picks for the NFL’s Week One. Ye Gods!

Well rest assured, I was conscious enough of my duties to keep track of my picks throughout the weekend (in my head, natch) and, to nobody’s surprise, I was absolutely flawless in deciphering the winners (and correct point spreads) of the sixteen NFL games last weekend! Yes, a perfect 16-0 against the spread last weekend with my only close call being the City Formerly Known As New Orleans Saints eking out a 3-point victory as time expired against the Carolina Panthers. Of course, I knew that would happen; I just wanted things to seem more dramatic.

So without further ado, and building on my unmitigated success of last week, please enjoy this week’s picks (Home team in CAPS):

Pittsburgh (-6) over HOUSTON
Minnesota (+3) over CINCY
N.Y. JETS (-6) over Miami
Detroit (-1.5) over CHICAGO
Baltimore (-3.5) over TENNESSEE
San Fran (+13) over PHILLY
INDY (-9) over Jax
Buffalo (+2.5) over TAMPA
