NFL Week 2: Frey's Locks of the Week

In many ways, last week’s 2-2 record against the spread was akin to the Broncos’ victory over the Colts.

I didn't lose, but it still kind of sucked.

Time for a little redemption!

Week 2

Arizona Cardinals (-1.5) @ New York Giants

If the Giants’ defense opted for single coverage on a man called “Megatron” last week, it can only mean that they do not intend to cover Larry Fitzgerald at all.

Cardinals Cover.

I know this is off topic, but if Eli was half as cool as his Doppleganger from "Boardwalk Empire", the Giants would not be so shitty.

New York Jets @ Green Bay Packers (-8)

An acquaintance of mine cautioned me against this pick stating, “Did you see what the Jets’ Defense did against Oakland?”

The Jets once they saw who they got to play last week.

Isn't that kind of like saying, “Hey!  Did you see how many teeth that chick has compared to that group of 50 year-old women from the trailer park down yonder?”

I think the Pack desperately needs to make a statement at home after getting violated by the Seahawks and the Jets (even as a team sporting more teeth than perhaps we might have expected) is going to pay the price.

Houston Texans (-2.5) @ Oakland Raiders

I fully expect hundreds of people to be on hand to watch the Raiders’ home opener.

If Oakland’s offense struggled against the Jets they are going to friggin LOVE some JJ Watt.

I cannot fathom Houston not winning this game by at least a field goal but for some reason, Vegas seems to want to trap me here.

OK, I’ll bite.  Give me the annoying ski slope guys minus the 2 ½.

Yep.  Only about 2 months and I'll get to see these guys all over my mountains again...

Philadelphia Eagles @ Indianapolis Colts (-2.5)

Here’s my reasoning on this one:

Both teams crapped the bed in the first half last week.

Both teams came on with a vengeance in the 2^nd half.

1 team did it at home against a team that was 4-12 last year.

The other did it against the reigning AFC champs on the road.

Both these teams are flawed but I’ll take the home guys to cover.

I’m taking the Colts.

This guy + struggling Eagles secondary = Colts cover

Season Record:  2-2
