Football week 2 recap

9-6-1 (or 10-5-1 in the Yahoo! pool FTW). I'll take that every time I felt as muddled about the slate as I did last week. I was right about Jacksonville and Tampa's D, Atlanta being overrated off Week 1's game, Pittsburgh being for real (or at least, Houston being crappy for real real). I was wrong about Tennessee being as bad as week 1 (or about Baltimore with Wright being good), dead wrong about the Lions and the Pats. I probably got lucky with Washington (I felt it'd be a low scoring close game, but I didn't expect a total meltdown from Dallas late in a game they dominated).

Things to ponder: The Browns are BAD, the Packers are AWFUL. Still unsure which Jets team is the real one (same with Miami, but leaning towards typical strong D at home early before melting down during Dolphannukah). Cincinnatti is the media darling, but look back at who they've beaten. Two awful teams in Minnesota and Cleveland. Still not sold.

Do you think Fox is right in saying that the Chargers will beat the Giants?

I think the Giants are a better team at a disadvantage being on the west coast. I'm not sure I'd have San Diego as a 5.5 point favorite seeing as they couldn't beat Dallas at home (w/o Gates) or Denver on the road (w/ Gates), and Denver just isn't that good.

I think the west coast trip after a short week (played on Monday night) is blunted a lot by the fact that the game is at 5:30pm local time.

I don't know if the Giants will win outright, but I'd have put the line closer to 2 (more or less a pick 'em straight up, with some home field for S.D.).

I think that San Diego hasn't peaked yet and could suddenly become a brutally efficient team any week now. If only we knew which week...

I still have a sentimental attachment to the Patriots but I don't like the math. They lost two good coordinators in the off season and added.... nothing but some draft picks.

Dallas should have covered last week. The Browns are mediocre, and yes, the Packers rot. I think Miami is better than the Jets, but I don't know. Cinci is good but not as good as their record. You left out saying how amazingly terrible Minnesota is after being hyped so much preseason. The Lions get one more game to show who they really are. The Giants are better than expected and the Chargers will come around, I just don't think they'll do it this week.

PIT/NE should be a great game.
