What do you guys think about Week 2? Gotta think there is no chance that Pittsburgh loses to Seattle coming off that behind kicking they got in Baltimore Buffalo could have some momentum after the big win at KC and they catch OAK off of one less day of preparation than normal Green Bay should take care of Carolina but I always try to avoid going with road teams (superstitious)

People that stayed with KC and their line dropped to -3.5 from like -6.5 should of known better. Not to be rude but that would of scared the crap out of me... Houston was almost a lock with manning out, was an easy decision. Nothing is certain but i would rather take houston at home against an indy team with their head cut off (no manning) scrambling to get garbage together than KC.

Green Bay could get some serious action...they are a proven good road team and NO WAY cam newton can put up anything close to that. Their corners are to good to let steve smith burn them like that. Pitt is the absolute lock of the week. I will most likely take them with one of my 2 picks. I really do not like any of the other games this week.

Never leave a good team on the board unless you can find similar value with another team like Green Bay. It might be worth a shot to fade Pitt and hope for a loss. Guarantee that would eliminate almost everyone.

I won my pool last year, i strategized and planned for weeks ahead trying to find the best spots for the good to great teams but ill be taking Pitt this week... Its too early to get creative, last year i managed by planning to always have at least a 6 pt spread adv team every week and won it i think in week 16..

I see the Jets at home vs jags as solid and green bay at Carolina good as well. Both teams would have a strong advantage at QB and a better D.
