ESPN "Expert" Picks Week 2

[Buck]

Most of them picked the Raiders.

Eric Allen, Mike Golic, Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter, Mark Sclereth, Seth Wickersham, and Pigskin Pick 'em chose the Raiders

Merrill Hoge, Ron Jaworski, and Accuscore picked the Chiefs

[CaliforniaChief]

Accuscore, FTW!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

It's basically a pick-em game. Chiefs' edge is due only to HFA.

[TrickyNicky]

Wow, I can't believe only 2 picked the cards.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Wow, I can't believe only 2 picked the cards.

I can.

[ModSocks]

Yeah, that chart is kinda...deee deee deee.

All of a sudden SF is some powerhouse that's gonna drop Seattle, despite the fact that seattle has looked great, and when did Jax become a good team?

[ModSocks]

I can.

I don't think AZ is a great team, but Jax is that decidedly better? Come on.....

[CaliforniaChief]

2nd week games are always tough to pick because there's so much weight put on week 1, which often produces a lot of anomalies and home field performances, instead of a rational look at the overall strength of each roster.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I don't think AZ is a great team, but Jax is that decidedly better? Come on.....

Could be schedule? It's early yet, but from pre season on, the Cards offense has been flat.

[MMXcalibur]

Geez...I was picking the Jaguars as my sleeper upset pick in my Pick-Em league. I wonder if maybe the Cardinals are the upset pick.

[vailpass]

Wow, I can't believe only 2 picked the cards.

AZ's road record against Eastern teams is something like 1-8 over the last couple of years and that 1 win was in the playoffs. They are atrocious in the far time zone.

[Mile High Mania]

Jaws had the fewest wins from week 1... and he chose the Chiefs this week and was the only one to choose the Browns over Denver. Sweet.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

Jaws had the fewest wins from week 1... and he chose the Chiefs this week and was the only one to choose the Browns over Denver. Sweet.

Oh noes....

[DMAC]

I dont see how the Donkos are going to beat the Browns.

[Chiefnj2]

Yeah, that chart is kinda...deee deee deee.

SF won 4 of their last 5 to end the 2008 season, plus an upset win on the road against AZ. Singletary may have turned them around. It should be a really good game.

[CaliforniaChief]

I dont see how the Donkos are going to beat the Browns.

Really? I actually think the Broncos will win handily, myself.

[vailpass]

Jaws had the fewest wins from week 1... and he chose the Chiefs this week and was the only one to choose the Browns over Denver. Sweet.

As a prognosticator Jaws is a hell of a commentator.

[Brock]

I dont see how the Donkos are going to beat the Browns.

Neither of them are good, so it looks like a tossup to me.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I dont see how the Donkos are going to beat the Browns.

Me neither. Something tells me the Browns might possibly be playing above the "PT Barnum Fucklestick Football Circus"-level that the donks and the bungs showed last week.

Where's that highlight film again? Ah yes! Here it is:

[Chiefnj2]

Cleveland had a lead against Minnesota at the half. It shows they had some decent preparation before Peterson ripped them apart.

[Chief Faithful]

I'm surprised at the lack of support for Philly and Houston.

[DaneMcCloud]

We're fortunate the Chiefs don't face the Vikings this year.

Peterson might get 500 yards on his own.

[Mr. Laz]

Jaws loves us!!

We'll see 'em in the Super Bowl

[notorious]

We'll see 'em in the Super Bowl

In that case AD's great, great, great grandson will rip us for 500 yards.

[Frazod]

Damn, there's some tough picks this week.

[Buehler445]

ROFL brutal.

[Halfcan]

how could Anyone under Any circumstance Ever pick the fuggin Faders to win Anything??

[Ugly Duck]

Raiders favored to win at Arrowhead? Wow... thats been a long time coming...

[KC Jones]

Having watched our game and theirs, I'd pick the Raiders too. If they lose it will likely be because they made mistakes, not because we're a better football team.

[donkhater]

I was watching AFC Playbook on the NFL network last night, and they were talking about how KC might have a chance to steal one from the Raiders. Steal one? From the Raiders? This is 2009, right?

Sadly, the Raiders are more talented than KC almost everywhere across the board. They present a bad matchup for the Chiefs. However, I believe we have the edge in coaching and neither team knows how to win so it's anyone's game.

If we don't place dead last in the West, it will either be an amazing bit of luck or a coaching miracle. We are that bad from a talent perspective. I'm not sure how many of our linemen are legitimate NFL starters.

[Chiefnj2]

Cassel only had 19 pass attempts all preseason. He hasn't taken a live game snap since Chan was fired. It could be an ugly day for him.

It doesn't matter if the Raiders are more talented. Until they prove that they're not a train wreck full of mental midgets, they're not the BETTER team.

That, and Al has destroyed their cap space by huge contracts to free agents like Hall and Walker that were cut, and handing out lavish contracts to his draft picks. So, Oakland doesn't have the cap room to get better -- in sharp contrast to the Chiefs, who only get players at garage sales. Still, we are able to afford a marquee free agent at any time.

So, Oakland has peaked, and we have room to get better, in theory.

[RINGLEADER]

I think with Cassel and Flowers -- if the Chiefs play mistake-free football -- they win this week.

[LaChapelle]

The ones claiming the Chiefs will get slammed Sunday. Will be the ones crying the loudest if they lose by 1 point. They JITP to bitch.

Those cap problems are going to hurt them next year when the season is uncapped.

The Raiders are usually more "talented" than us any year. The difference has been over the last 20 years that they have been sloppy and undisciplined and we have capitalized on that.

If the Raiders run the ball on us and we don't pressure Russell, we have zero chance to win...

[htismaqe]

I agree.

If the Raiders run the ball on us and we don't pressure Russell, we have zero chance to win...

I don't agree.

First of all, if they run the ball well, pressure isn't gonna matter because they won't really have to pass. But more importantly, as we saw last week, they could rack up all kinds of yards and we could still win.

Certainly it decreases our chances to win, but I wouldn't ever say they are zero.
