Jamaal Charles had this to say "It means a lot, so I hope we go out there and play for our coach," Charles told ESPN on Sunday. "You know what I'm saying? I know he has a lot of love for his Eagles; he worked there a lot of years and he probably wishes he was still coaching there." Other matches this week, there doesn't seem to be any standout game of the week, so how about the thoughts of John Breech at CBSSports.com Indianapolis (1-1) at San Francisco (1-1): Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will be returning to the West Coast, where he spent four years of his life in college (Stanford). Unfortunately for Luck, the 49ers don't care where he went to college. San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh coached Luck for three seasons at Stanford, which could turn out to be an advantage for the 49ers. Oh and did I mention the 49ers are coming off a big loss and will most likely be looking to take their anger out on someone or something or anything. 49ers 34-24 over the Colts. Chicago (2-0) at Pittsburgh (0-2): The Steelers haven't looked great in the season's first two weeks, actually, to be honest, they've looked pretty horrible. The Steelers offense can't score and scoring is kind of important. However, 0-3 would be a death sentence for the Steelers season, so I fully expect Pittsburgh to be playing desperate football on Sunday night and that's enough for me to pick them. Steelers 20-17 over the Bears. I like this next one best. Tampa Bay (0-2) at New England (2-0): Practice in Tampa Bay this week will go one of two ways: either coach Greg Schiano will convince everyone on the team to buy into his system using the logic that the Bucs are literally three points away from 2-0. Or things could go the second way where everyone on the team ignores everything Schiano says and Tampa loses to New England by 40. I'm going to go out on a dangerously unsafe limb here and say the first thing happens. Buccaneers 23-20 over the Patriots. Green Bay (1-1) at Cincinnati (1-1): The Bengals haven't lost to an NFC North team at home since 2001 and I really hate picking against history. On the other hand, I really hate picking against Aaron Rodgers. Whatever though, I never liked those discount double-check commercials. Bengals 24-20 over the Packers.
Own content or forgot the creditline? Anyways, can't see the Steelers win anything this season, even at home. They really, really cant score points. I think Roethlisberger has had his best years behind him, a good defense scores you points like last week, but a brilliant defense wins you games like the 49ers. This Steelers defense is good but not brilliant. And I can't see the Bucs win in Foxborough, Freeman and the Hamster have been fairly solid but they can't close a game in the 4th quarter. I fear another last minute comeback by Tom Brady.
It's there, just above the Indy Sf review. A little bit is mine but it's mostly John Breech. I tend to wander if left to my own devices.
Not a good start for my picks, Bengals and Cardinals ahead. GB defense looks like they still need to wake up, missing tackles.
It'll be very funny if they win enough to miss out on Teddy. Unless Boyd continues to get better or something like that.
So who else's weekly picks is screwed so far? I had Texans, Vikings, Redskins and Giants to win today...
Jesus Christ... Colts OL this week: LT: Anthony Castonzo (First rounder couple of years ago, good but not great) LG: Hugh Thornton (third round rookie this year, first start, not been good so far) C: Mike McGlynn (been starter at RG for us since last year, one of the worst players in the league) RG: Khaled Holmes (played C for USC last year, fourth round rookie, first action for us, was bad in college) or Jeff Linkenbach (has been a backup G/T for a few years and is absolutely horrendous) RT: Gosder Cherilus (FA signing from Lions, decent in pass pro, awful run blocker). Absolutely by a long way the worst interior line I've ever seen. There are college lines better. Pray for Andrew
