NFL - Week 2 was a rough one as I only went 9-7 in my picks to bring my season record to 20-12.
New York Giants @ Indianapolis Colts - Peyton Manning and the Colts rebounded quite nicely from their week 1 loss in Houston as they picked the Giants apart and raced out to a 24-0 halftime lead. The Colts offense looked great and the Giants offense and defense looked awful. If you watched the second half, you must have had money on the it because this one was unwatchable.
New England Patriots @ New York Jets - The Jets did a great job in shutting out all of the doubters after their week 1 debacle vs Baltimore. They were dominated by the Patriots in the 1st quarter and early into the 2nd, but only trailed by 7 early in the 2nd quarter thanks to a missed field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. Once CB Darrelle Revis was sidelined with a hamstring injury I expected the Patriots to beat the Jets handily, but the Jets did a great job in forcing the Patriots to turn the ball over and the offense actually had a pulse. Now the Jets have a big early season showdown in Miami against the 2-0 Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings - Once the Vikings chose to forgo a chance at a 3-0 lead by going for it on 4th down early in the 1st quarter I had a bad feeling about this game. The Dolphins held and then drove down the field and scored a touchdown and the Vikings were left chasing points the rest of the day. The Vikings were victimized by Brett Favre all day as he threw 3 interceptions and fumbled once, which was recovered for a touchdown. So, thanks to Brett Favre and his coach, Brad Childress, this is another pick that I got wrong.
NCAA - I'm still not into College Football yet, but I did see the final minutes and overtime of the Notre Dame-Michigan State game. A gutsy call by the Michigan State coach to run a fake field goal in OT down by 3. If you didn't see it, check it out on youtube (I do not own any rights to this clip). Where is the luck of the Irish? Has Touchdown Jesus forgotten about his team?
