Week 2 Picks
After a disappointing opening week of 0-2-2 in the 2010 Cheddar Bay Invitational over at Cleveland Frowns, it’s time to start the comeback.
This week, we like:
Penn State (-21) vs. Kent State
Green Bay (-13.5) vs. Buffalo
Houston (-3) vs. Washington
And the money pick: Atlanta (-6.5) vs. Arizona.
Here’s why:
- As a starting quarterback in the National Football League, Derek Anderson has never won consecutive road games (I know that’s not the same as not covering, but work with me here).
- Last week against St. Louis, he threw 15 passes to Larry Fitzgerald – 12 of which were off the mark.
- In Bill Simmons’ weekly picks column on ESPN, a reader asked “Have Ken Whisenhunt and most of the sports media ignored the past two seasons of schizophrenic Derek Anderson games? There is only one way your season ends with Derek Anderson: with your face in your hands, weeping.”
- Browns fans in Cleveland haven’t forgotten.
- The Cardinals are on the road this week against Atlanta.
- Derek Anderson is the quarterback.
- Until he proves otherwise, he is still Derek Anderson.
Confidence is high this week.
