Time for Week 2 already? Where did the week go?
No big insights this week. I picked Philly over Detroit primarily because Vick is starting and I think he gives the team a major boost in performance. I’m counting on my Titans to win again at home. And finally, I’m not sure people understand how much of a confidence builder the Redskins get after beating their biggest rival the Cowboys. The rivalry between the Skins and the Cowboys never diminished within the hearts and minds of the fans. It may have waxed and waned amongst the team and the NFL over all, but it never faded for fans. As indicated by the intensity and electricity of the Skin’s stadium last week. That emotional high should carry over to this week as Washington takes on Houston.

Once again keep in mind the Prince makes his pick based on which team is the animal, or which animal will beat the other animal. It’s interesting how he perceives animal strength, it’s not just brawn that wins the day. He seems to think if you’re a bird, you are invincible. 😉

So here are our picks for the week.

Well not a bad start to the 1st week. My picks finished 10wins to 6 losses. Not great, but better than some of the professional prognosticators in TV. The best game in my book was of course my Redskins vs. Dallas. Those last 3 seconds were definitely a nail-bitter. But woohoo the Cowboys self-destructed! Hahaha!!!

The little Prince didn’t fair as well. His method of picking is base on the name of the team. If it’s a bird, ie: Cardinals, Eagles, Ravens, Falcons; he picks them to win. He likes animals over objects for the most part. Not sure it’s the best method, but it works for him and that’s all that matters. He’s excited that he won 6 picks last week and didn’t even seem to listen that between us, I won the week. He asked; but it just didn’t matter because his Eagles won. Not sure how he’s going to feel when his Eagles play my Skins.

So here are our 1st week results:
