Week Two NFL Game Picks

Now that my tank and bank is out, it is on to my week two picks. This week is also going to be a little different. I'm going to give you the match up, time and channel, as well as the line and over/under. Then I will make my pick with the score. Following that will be my start/sits for each game. I will also point out my eliminator pick of the week and the game of the week which is going to be the game I am looking forward to the most (excluding the Cowboys game).

That’s all the games for this week. If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions about your fantasy team then check me out on Twitter or you can email me. Most of the players that were starts and sits were based on my rankings, which are off of a ten man league on ESPN standard scoring.
