NFL Picks Week 2: 3 Toughest Games to Predict

Picking games in the NFL is hard enough.

It’s the most unpredictable professional sport to predict and it can drive you crazy when there is money involved.

Yet it’s an unofficial American pastime to guess the winners each and every week. That’s why I’m here to warn you of the dangers of diving into any of the following games:

Bears @ Saints

Jay Cutler and the rest of the Bears offense really shocked me with their strong performance against the Falcons. They racked up 377 yards of offense and held a commanding advantage in time of possession.

They look like a complete team and have the sort of disciplined defense that can really disrupt the Saints.

Then again, how can any team disrupt Drew Brees?

Buccaneers @ Vikings

Two teams that are attempting to avoid the dreaded 0-2 record, Tampa Bay and Minnesota are hard to read at this point.

Was Donovan McNabb’s dreadful Week 1 just a bad game or a sign of things to come? Are the Lions that good or did the Bucs just get off to a bad start?

These are two teams that still could go 11-5 or 5-11. There hasn’t been enough game film to properly evaluate the potential of these two teams.

When they play against each other…stay away.

Eagles @ Falcons

How is Michael Vick going to respond in his first game back at the Georgia Dome?

Emotions are going to be running extremely high and it’s impossible to predict which team responds better.

On paper Philly has the better team, but Atlanta is more desperate. Talent goes very far in this league…but nothing beats desperation.

You’re best off avoiding this Sunday night thriller and just enjoying the game.
