***Clay's NFL week two picks***

Instead of writing individual threads, lumped them all in one.

BREES TO BULLDOZE TEPID TAMPA - Big bet on the Saints -3
Eh, what am I missing here? Ok this could easily be a trap but if you take that out of the equation it's hard to work out how the Saints aren't at least 5.5pt favs.
THE JETS BEAT TAMPA LAST WEEK. Read that again!!!
The saints tend to light up the Buccs and i can see that happening again today. They looked back to this best last week against the Falcons, with Brees and all his offense looking deadly once again.
Ok the Buccs now have Revis Island to try and sort the Buccs' secondary but one man alone can't resolve this. As good as revis is. The Saints have many weapons and Brees will try and confuse the Buccs by putting his deep threats on Revis and using the slants with Jimmy Graham to rack up easy yards.
The Buccs are in disarray. Emergency meetings after one week? Rumours have it the meeting was planned BEFORE their defeat to the Jets. Something is clearly not right behind the scenes.
Saints to take this and go 2-0 up in the division.

RODGERS TO RUN AMOK AGAINST THE RUSTY REDSKINS huge bet on the Packers -7
The team that most impressed me last week were Green Bay. I know they got torched in the secondary with Kaepernick throwing for over 400 yards. But that will improve as injuries return.
But they stopped the run with Frank Gore doing nada. They stopped Kaepernick coming out of the pocket and running as Clay Matthews was on him all day long. And Rodgers and his talented offense moved the ball at will against a very good defense.
I really fancied the Redskins last week but they were awful and RGIII just doesn't look fit imho. Take away his mobility and the need to throw a lot took it's toll with turnover after turnover. The Packers will be confident of stopping the run, forcing RGIII to beat them in the air - confident he can at the moment? Nope, me neither.
And once again the Redkins' secondary got absolutely lit up last week, jeeze they even managed to make Michael Pick look good.
Aaron Rodgers is going to crucify them. Whenever he sees a weak secondary he makes them pay. Rodgers is 18-1 on home in past few seasons. redskins will be on back foot from word go. Their defense were out on their feet last week.
All in on the Packers.

MATTY ICE TO CUT OPEN THE RAMS big bet on the Atlanta Falcons -5
I thought the Falcons played well last week and moved the ball well. They just came up against an inspired Saints team.
Matty Ryan is 35-5 at home in his career. The Falcons rarely lose at home. And people are getting carried away with the Rams. If the Rams fall behind early this could get messy as I don't fancy their chances of having to keep this close by going the aerial route.
An easy Falcons win for me.

CHARGERS TO BRING MICHAEL PICK BACK DOWN TO EARTH medium bet on the Chargers +7
I'm not buying this Eagles love in. The Redskins were awful last week.
Ok I get the Phillip Rivers issues. I get them. But they still tore the Texans apart in the first half last week. The raw materials are there to cause any side damage. I genuinely believe this game will be closer than many think. Not saying the Chargers will win but it will be close.

BABY MANNING TO SHOW BIG BRO HOW IT'S DONE Big bet on the Giants +4.5pts.
With barely any fit receivers, Joe Flacco still threw for over 400 yards last week against the Broncos. Champ Bailey is still out. And now they face Eli Manning who has Victor Cruz and Nicks, who are two of the best in the business.
Giants have a huge chance tonight.
