After a decent 12-4 week one, the Pigskin Picker dropped the ball and picked only 10 games right this week.
To make matters worse my editor, Lori Evans, picked 11 right.
To make matters even worse, she said she used the "best city to live in" method, where she picked each game solely on how much she liked each city, not on how well the teams match up with each other.
Congratulations Lori. I am humbled.
If I was less of a good sport I would blame Green Bay (losing to Chicago?) Washington (the Giants?) and Quentin Griffith, the Broncos running back who fumbled the ball on the 25 yard line, one play before they were going to kick the winning field goal.
Instead I will hold my head high and go for the gusto this week.
If you think you can beat these picks send them via e-mail to ben.stuart@homernews.com or scribble them down on the back of that Van Gough original painting you have in your attic and drop it off at the Homer News.
Good luck.
My picks for week three.
Atlanta over Arizona, Baltimore over Cincinnati, Philadelphia over Detroit, Kansas City over Houston, Pittsburgh over Miami, Minnesota over Chicago, NY Giants over Cleveland, St. Louis over New Orleans, Tennessee over Jacksonville, Denver over San Diego, Indianapolis over Green Bay, Seattle over San Francisco, Oakland over Tampa Bay, and Washington over Dallas on Monday Night Football.
