Week 2 NFL picks Jaguars upset Patriots

If a tie is like ki sing your sister, than America got treated to the weirdest three-hour make-out se sion of all-time on Sunday when the and game ended in a 21-21 tie.The game was completely bonkers and it basically had everything you could po sibly ever want from an NFL game, well, except for a winner. The problem with ties is that no one wins -- and when I say no one, I mean no one. For example, take the people of Cleveland: If the Browns had somehow upset the Steelers, there would have been free beer flowing all over the city. Instead, everyone in Cleveland had to stay sober because Bud Light refused to open their victory refrigerators. We didn't stutter. It's a VICTORY fridge. Bud Light (@budlight) Little does Bud Light know that a tie in Cleveland is basically the same thing as a win. I mean, let's not forget that this is the same city that threw a parade for a team that went 0-16 last season. Honestly, the Browns should think about throwing a parade this week and that's because the team is off to its best start since 2004. . Sure, 0-0-1 is nothing to brag about, but when you've started 0-1 for 13 straight seasons like the Browns had Tim Tebow Jersey before 2018, earning a tie in your first game of the year is basically the equivalent of winning seven Super Bowls in a row, but without the trophies, or the rings. OK, it's not like winning seven Super Bowls in a row at all, but I still think the Browns should hold a parade for playing in a tie game. By the way, the most impre sive part of the game for the Browns is that they weren't even distracted by haircut. James Conner could break the single game rushing and TD record and it would all be for nothing with hair like this.... Cory Hughes (@Hughes1224) The Steelers need to take that $14.5 million they were thinking about giving to and spend it on a stylist for Conner. I think we can all agree that would definitely be a much better use of the money. Also, I would say that Conner's hair-do was the biggest disaster of Week 1, but that's not the case, because that honor belongs to EVERY FIRST-YEAR COACH IN THE NFL. There were seven new NFL coaches hired in 2018 and THEY ALL managed to lose in Week 1, which means they all have a worse record than the Browns and having a worse record than the Browns is arguably a fireable offense. Raiders lo s means NFL coaches hired in 2018 went 0-7 in Week 1. Average margin of lo s: 13.2 Mike Piazza Jersey pointsCHI-Nagy: 24-23 NYG-Shurmur: 20-15TEN-Vrabel: 27-20IND-Reich: 34-23ARI-Wilks: 24-6OAK-Gruden: 33-13DET-Patricia: 48-17 John Breech (@johnbreech) Also, based on that picture, it appears that Jon Gruden skipped all of training camp and just spent his entire summer on a beach in Cabo.Alright, enough talking about Gruden's tan, let's get to the Week 2 picks. More NFL Actually, before we get to my picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every . The reason you should click over and check out the other experts this week is Steven Matz Jersey because our resident fantasy guru, Dave Richard, is apparently good at things besides fantasy sports. Dave went 10-5-1 in his picks against the spread in Week 1. Now, I'm not sure what that means, but I think it means you should . Dave loves to dispense fantasy advice, which is why I generally call him five times a day. Sure that might seem exce sive ... OK, that is exce sive. I'm surprised he hasn't blocked my number. Now, let's get to my picks, where I promise to get James Conner's haircut if I go 0-16 against the spread this week.NFL Week 2 PicksMinnesota (1-0) at Green Bay (1-0)1 p.m ET (Fox)I have no idea if is going to play in this game, and even if he does, I have no idea if he's going to be healthy. Basically, I think what I'm trying to say here is that I have no idea who to pick. My general rule of thumb when trying to pick the winner in a game is to always pick the Packers, especially when that game is being played at Lambeau Field in September. Sure, we all love talking about the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, but what we should all be talking about instead are the fall leaves at Lambeau, because the Packers are way more unbeatable in September and fall leaves are fun to look at. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, the Packers are undefeated (9-0) in September home games and they've scored an average of 30.1 points in those games. Now, I know what you're thinking and I completely agree: This totally has something to do with the fact that September is also the month when Starbucks releases its Pumpkin Spice Latte. I'm not sure if the Packers are powered by Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but that's the theory I'm working with right now. I bet Rodgers slammed three of those things during halftime of the game, which would fully explain the 20-point come-from-behind win.One interesting subplot to this game is that Rodgers will be facing the same team that ended his season last year when they broke his collarbone. I sliced my finger open four years ago with a knife and I still haven't forgiven the knife, so Michael Conforto Jersey I can't imagine how Rodgers feels toward the Vikings. As a matter of fact, if Rodgers does play on Sunday, I'm 99 percent sure that his rivalry with the Vikings is going to reach a Nicki Minaj-Cardi B. level of crazine s.I'm not sure how I did it, but I think I've talked myself into taking the Packers, unle s Rodgers doesn't play, then I'm taking the Vikings by three touchdowns. The pick: Packers 20-17 over Vikings if Rodgers plays (Vikings win 34-13 if Rodgers is out)Kansas City (1-0) at (0-0-1)1 p.m. ET (CBS)I'm not sure what's going on with Le'Veon Bell and the Steelers right now, but I have to say, I haven't seen this kind of constant drama since "One Tree Hill" went off the air in 2012. At first, I thought Bell and the Steelers would fix things, but now, I'm not so sure and that's because Bell has taken the drama to social media. Le'Veon Bell (@LeVeonBell) The tweet you see above is what Bell sent out after the Steelers game with the Browns ended in a tie, and I think we can all agree that you don't send out the monocle emoji unle s you mean busine s. You know who else means busine s? The . They added another twist to this drama by following Bell on Instagram this week, which is basically the equivalent of someone sneaking in and following your significant other while you two are on a Jason Vargas Jersey break. I see you Jets. It looks like the Jets have just started following LeVeon Bell on Instagram and hes the only non/former Jet that they follow. Head On A Swivel (@HOASPodcast) I'm telling you, Bell vs. the Steelers might go down as the greatest NFL drama of the social media era. If the same type of drama was going on between Taylor Swift and one of her boyfriends, she would have written three albums about it by now. The way I see it, one of two things is going to happen this week. Bell is going to report
