NFL—Week 1 was ugly. I finished 7-9 against the ESPN expert panel, while several of their picks landed at 11 or 12 wins and Moody finished 15-1. That is exactly why every pick goes on the board and stays there. No deleting misses and no pretending the bad calls did not happen. Rock’s Locks moves into Week 2 with another full NFL slate, 16 straight-up picks and several games where I am going directly against the expert consensus.

This week’S picks are; Carolina, Jets, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Jets, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Houston, Denver, the Chargers, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco, Kansas City, Detroit and the Giants.

Now we find out whether Week 1 was a bad start or the beginning of a long season. The first few weeks are the toughest, I usually turn on the jets by week 3 and don’t look back!
