"Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet..." (Matthew 27:9, KJV).
After surveying the 16 games of the NFL's second week, Jeremy declared, "The Panthers shall smite the Saints." No one in the pool agreed, but, of course, Jeremy was right. The prophet announced, "Give me the Colts against the Vikings." Again, he was correct. And then in a mighty voice he shouted, "The Broncos shall fall prey to the Falcons." Right again. The four-time champ is back!
Week 2 notes: (1) For the second straight week, Jarrett M. had a loner pick. This week he correctly picked the Rams to beat the Redskins. (2) There was one unsuccessful loner pick this week: Jarrett R. incorrectly picked the Browns to defeat the Bengals. (3) Jarrett R. forgot to submit a pick for the Thursday night game. Sources indicate that he would have picked the Packers.
So far:
1. Jarrett R. (21-11 + 4.5 bonus) - 25.5 points
2. Jeremy (20-12 + 3.5 bonus) - 23.5 points
3. Jonathan (20-12 + 2.5 bonus) - 22.5 points
4. Joel (19-13 + 1.83 bonus) - 20.83 points
5. Jarrett M. (17-15 + 1 bonus) - 18 points
6. Patrick (17-15 + 0.33 bonus) - 17.33 points
7. Roger (15-17 + 0.33 bonus) - 15.33 points
8. Nathan (15-17) - 15 points
9. Bob (8-24) - 8 points

If anyone is feeling bad about their record so far, check out the CBS Sports "experts." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks/against-the-spread/2
I'm feeling bad that I had a sub 500 week for first time since 2010.
It's hard to pick week 1 and 2 every year. I think knowledge is so important.
There is an common misconception about how coaches think. Buffalo will be at Cleveland on Sunday. So fantasy pool experts will all pick CJ Spiller to have a big day against the Browns D - BUT while that might happen just maybe the Bills coach will realize that the Browns secondary is so suspect that they can win without Spiller - just pass the ball.
And maybe now you think the Patriots are really in decline, but don't you also have to think that last week maybe they lost to the Cards because Belichick was holding back some plays that he doesn't want Baltimore, his next opponent to see on tape - they still should have beat the Cardinals with only 14 plays that included Wes Welker - but it backfired...the point is we don't know...we can speculate, but you know you will see things from both the Ravens and Pats this Sunday that you weren't expecting.
Are we going to give Bob the points for the unanimous picks in week 1?
