Week 2 - Redemption

Manwich Matchup of the Week
Baltimore @ San Diego- The Ravens actually displayed a lot of offensive firepower last weekend, though it was against Kansas City. I don't think their offense is that good, mainly because Cobra Commander isn't the coach anymore. Zing! The Chargers supposedly had a close game against the Raiders late Monday night. I think this game will give us a better idea of where things are at. And yes, LT is on the downward slide, though the national media is having a hard time dealing with this.
Pick: Chargers

Upset of the Week
Cleveland @ Denver - I truly believe the Browns can win 4 games this year... and this is one of them! Plus, Brady Quinn played well against the Broncos last year in a close loss. This year? I think it will be lower scoring, but with the Browns new and improved defense helping them get a surprise victory... and a little REDEMPTION!
Pick: Cleveland

Opening Round Playoff Game #2
St. Louis @ Washington - Honestly, could the Rams survive an 0-2 start and make the playoffs? Could the Redskins survive an 0-2 start in the NFC East? Didn't think so!
Pick: Washington

Fantasy Football Game of Interest
CAR @ Atlanta - I think this game is going to freak out a lot of fantasy owners. Delhomme's awful play has affected everyone, even the numbers for DeAngelo Williams and WR Steve Smith. The Falcons didn't really put up great numbers in week 1 either with Michael Turner and WR Roddy White putting up disappointing stats. If anything, this game will just put up more doubt in someone's mind. Sadly, I just learned that Panther backup QB Josh McCown got placed on IR after injuring his knee & foot in week 1... so if Delhomme gets benched get ready to pickup... Matt Moore? AJ Feeley?
Pick: ATL

Game That Would Have Been a Manwich if I Knew McNabb or Vick was Playing
Saints @ Eagles - Easily would have been a manwich matchup... but it doesn't seem as exciting if McNabb is playing hurt, Vick is suspended, and the Eagles are forced to use Kevin Kolb. I think Vick should be given the option to play this week and be suspended for Week 17.
Pick: Saints

Other Games
Oak @ KC - Pick: KC
Houston @ Tenn - Pick: Tenn
New England @ Jets - Pick: New England
Cincy @ Green Bay - Pick: GB
Minny @ Detroit - Pick: Minny
Arizona @ Jacksonville - Pick: Arizona
Seattle @ San Fran - Pick: San Fran

Last Week: 14-2 (jalapeno!)
Season: 14-2
Manwich: 1-0 (The Steelers won over the Titans... barely)
Upset of the Week: 1-0 (The 49ers actually did win! I have already equaled the number of upsets I got correct all of last season (1 for 17 last year))
