NFL Week 2 Thread

Is it just me or does Seattle seem like easy money? Packers can't stop run. Missing IT. Lack of Nelson makes it harder to take advantage of chancellor's absence. Only way it seems fairly close is if Hawks turn it over a lot.

 

How is a defense that couldn't stop Nick Foles and Benny Cunningham going to stop Aaron Rodgers and Eddie Lacy?

Even without Nelson, the GB receivers are 10 times better than the yahoos the Rams put on the field.

 

Only easy money are the under at halftime and over for full game.

It's a home opener for Rodgers. The Packers are at home and Seattle has a team with an ever increasing faction of guys who want to get paid.

My question. Seattle can win but can they blow out Green Bay today? Unlikely. I could see GB getting up 24-7 early and cruising. That's why I take GB and give 3.

I just think Seattle's a terrible matchup for Packers. Think the close championship game (which included a terrible Wilson performance unlikely to be repeated) and week 1 are skewing line more towards Packers than it should be. Packers have given up over 5 ypc to Forte, Murray, and Lynch in last 3 real games.

 

Also that McCarthy v Carroll is worth 9 points for the Seahawks. Yet all of the recent games have been in Seattle.

There's almost a Favre can't win at Texas Stadium in the 90s feel to this.

I don't think GB blows out Seattle but it feels like a 34-24 kind of game to me.

 

Steelers go for two and get it after their first touchdown. Gotta believe that's related to their kicker suck.

 

Message.

 

That was my thought as well. They may not say it, but no way they trust Scobee right now.

Of course, the defense still can't stop anything, so they need all the points they can get.

 

Judging by the Bucs' uniforms, they want to be Louisville when they grow up.

 

Of course Washington and Cleveland come out like the 85 Bears to start. Makes perfect sense.

Watching NE-BUF. People really talked themselves this week into a Buffalo team with a new QB against the SB champs.

Only turnovers could sink the Pats.
