+++ NFL Picks / Week 2 +++

Hi everybody.

No game received from getting old in mke so I chose Washington vs. St. Louis. Let's see the Giants, Pats, Jets, Bucs, and Cowboys too. Lions and Falcons by default (primetime games). Eight total.

A reminder: this weeks winner gets to choose a game for Week 3. Suggestions for Week 3? Let me know.

Picks due Sunday before the 1:00 pm EST kick-off. Good luck!

23. The Cardinal's defense is brutal this year

With that great defense and what looks like an average offense, I predict at least a wild card playoff berth this year.

With Arizona it could be a tricky game. In regular season games, Kolb shows more accuaracy (still, Skelton was hurt by drops last season including a wide-open Roberts falling in the end zone against Cincinnati) but Kolb seems to make the biggest bone headed decisions, telegraphing throws for easy picks. I may pick NE if I wasn't a Cardinals game. However, the Cardinals have an excellent D but they'll be tested against a brutal passing attack.
