"Ron's NFL Week 2 Picks" by Ronald Carthen

I'm so glad this football season is already off to a great start and it can only get better from this point on. This week will be a big week for both New York football teams as the spotlight will be on them this week. The Giants look to carry their momentum in Indianapolis, while the Jets will see if their offense can get it together this week at home against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The Patriots vs Jets was going to be my game of the week, but you can't turn down "Manning Bowl II" in front of a national television audience. Peyton won the last time they played against one another in the old Giants Stadium. Eli will look to defeat Peyton but he must find a way to overcome three interceptions he had last week, despite of throwing three touchdown passes. Peyton will only hope his defesnse will show up this week after allowing Arian Foster to run for 231 of the Texans 257 yards and three touchdowns.

The best one-on-one matchup this week will be Randy Moss vs Darrelle Revis as the Patriots will pay a visit to the New Meadowlands for the first time on Sunday. Revis held Moss to only nine catches for 58 receiving yards and a touchdown in two meetings last year but that's the least of their worries. The Jets have to figure out a way to turn their offense around. Mark Sanchez only threw 10 of 21 of his passes for 74 passing yards and Shonn Greene didn't get a carry in the second half after fumbling the ball twice in the first half. Tom Brady will not three touchdown passes as he did against the Bengals last week, but he may do just enough to win as long as the Jets offense doesn't show up for the second week in a row.

I also can't wait to see if Brett Favre and the Vikings will bounce back when they host the Dolphins, if the Ravens can win back-to-back road games in a short week when they head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, and see if the Cowboys and their coaching staff can make better decisisons when they host the Chicago Bears. Here are my picks and get ready for another great week in the NFL.
