WEEK TWO
First, a summary of week one: Won 2, Lost 2
Second, bragging about the wins: Pittsburgh covered and won the way I thought they would, their defense made the difference. San Diego spanked pathetic Oakland.
Third, making excuses for the losses: Denver and Seattle both self-destructed. Seattle had two field goals blocked and Shaun Alexander rushed for 51 yards. Maybe they're just "rusty". I'm giving them another week before I adjust their rating. Denver, on the other hand, is a more questionable situation. I didn't expect Jake "the pyscho" Plummer to self-destruct so soon. Being the manic depressive he is, he could bounce back next week. I'm not adjusting their rating just yet, but I'm not making them a pick no matter how good they look.
Now, here's the line for week two:
Sunday Sept. 17
