2011 NFL Survivor Pick Week 2

I'mmm baaaaaaaack!!!!!!

Just when I thought I was out they pull me right back in....


On to week 2.  I really like three games this week.  First up is the Detroit Lions at home against a reeling Chiefs team that just lost there nest defensive player last week (Berry) and has a QB regressing from the loss of C Weiss.  Detroit is a playoff caliber team on the rise.  They win at home today.

Next up, my J-e-t-s Jets Jets Jets!!! This Jets defense is once again legit and should have no problem shutting down the anemic Jaguar passing game.  This could be a shutout.

Last on my lock list this week is the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Seattle is an awful road team and they are making the long trip East for a 1pm start.  Not a good combination for them but a great one for Survivor pools.  Moreover, the Steelers are coming off an embarrassing defeat at the hands of their division rival last week.  I expect them to come out with a huge chip on their shoulder and win this one easily.

As my followers over the past few years know, I preach picking the best game each week and avoid looking ahead.  Slight departure from that theory this week because I view the Jets and Steelers games as even and one team has a mush easier schedule with some nice survivor options.

Thus, the week two pick is.......
