Cash's Week #2 NFL Picks

AFTER WEEK #1 (1-1-1)

Ok...We picked the Cowboys right last week...lost with the Bucs in NY...and somehow pushed with the Bengals against the Bears...We are going to pick the Cowboys game every week, and than as many, or as few, games as I feel is the right amount.

Cowboys @ Chiefs UNDER 46.5

Here's the deal...I think this game will be close, I think the Cowboys will be behind, I think the Cowboys will have the chance to win in the end....and I think the Cowboys will lose.  But the 3 point spead is just tough for me to justify picking one way or another...so I'm going where I'm more confident...the under.

As I mentioned on the show last week, I didn't see either defense doing much in the Giants game and, while 6 turnovers ain't nothing, all the points and yards was as I expected.  

The Chiefs are built to play hard nosed defense and efficient offense that features the run, the short pass, and a QB who's better than he gets credit for.  That clock will keep moving and both teams will find tough sledding.  The Chiefs fans will be very loud in their home opener...I wouldn't be suprised if Dallas doesn't score until the 2nd Q...and is kept right under 20 points for the game.

Arizona +2 vs Detroit

Under Jim Schwartz the Lions have been flashy, inconsistant and bad on the road. They've lost 10 of their last 13 on the road...I think the Cardinals are better than you think...(and I think the Rams are better than you think too)....which is why the Cards losing to the Rams in week one makes this line so juicy for me....

POSSIBLY the better team at home getting points....I'll take the Cards.

Rams +6 At Atlanta

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised it the Rams won this one outright. The Falcons are showing their age....they gave Brees too much time last week...and Bradford will eat them alive with the short passing game to the underated Daryl Richardson, the underappreciated Chris Givens and the suddenly discovered Jared Cook. 

I like the toughness the Rams show on both sides of the line and they are a dome team playing in another dome getting 6.  Good enough for me.

Vikings at Bears OVER 42

I don't know but there is just something that's weird to me about a game having a low over/under number but with one team being favored by nearly a touchdown.  And this is almost the lowest number available this week...WITH Chicago a 6 point favorite..

The Bears have owned the Vikings in Chicago....and they have the perfect screen game with Forte to slow down that Vikings rush.  They say styles make fights...and this one looks very pro-Bear....but give me AP and the Vikes to do a little something and push this over the number.

That's it....feel free to do nothing with it.
