B.J. the Greek Week 2 Picks

Steelers -14 vs. Seahawks
The Steelers were embarrassed last week by the Ravens 35-7. "We got handled in all three phases of the game." said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin after the game. Expect Pittsburg to come out motivated after last week’s loss and lay a DRUBBING on Seattle, who lost 33-17 to the 49ers last week and who was shut out in the first half 16-0. Seattle is 2-8 ATS under Pete Carroll in road games. The Steelers will be looking to put the Ravens loss behind them and show most “experts” who picked them to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl that last week’s lopsided loss to the Raven was a fluke. Do not expect much from Seattle’s anemic offense and Tavaris Jackson other than 3 and outs and turnovers. Steelers roll in this game.
* buy down a point to -13
(Steelers 0-1 WL, 0-1 ATS) (Seahawks 0-1 WL, 0-1 ATS)

Packers -9.5 at Panthers
Super Bowl champions against a team that was 2-14 last year. Love the line at -9.5 thanks to an impressive debut by Cam Newton against Arizona. The Cardinals secondary is one of the worst in the league. Expect Green Bay to get to Newton, and Newton to turn the ball over multiple times in this game. Green Bay’s offense was hitting on all cylinders in week 1 against the Saints, where they put up 42 points. The Panthers will be without one of their best defensive players linebacker Jon Beason who suffered season-ending Achilles tendon tear last week against the Cardinals. This one could get ugly as the Packers give Cam Newton a reality check and CRUSH the Panthers.
(Packers 1-0 WL, 1-0 ATS) (Panthers 0-1 WL, 0-1 ATS)

Jets -9.5 vs. Jaguars
Jets defense vs. Luke McCown, I should not have to say anymore, but I will. Do not expect more than 10 points from the Jaguars who scored 16 last week in a 2 point win against the Titans. Jets stuff Maurice Jones-Drew and there are no other options on offense for Jacksonville. Quick, name the two starting wide receivers on the Jaguars?… Didn’t think so. Was impressed with the Jets throwing the ball last week 44 times and opening up the offense. Expect a better game from Shonn Green on the ground, and some big plays from Holmes and Burress. Jets cover EASY.
(Jets 1-0 WL, 0-1 ATS) (Jaguars 1-0 WL, 1-0 ATS)

BONUS - Cowboys ML -150 at 49ers
Why bother with the -3 or buying a ½ of point for -130 when you can get this game at -150 on the ML? Dallas outplayed the Jets for three and a half quarters last week and scored 24 points on a solid Jets defense. I expect the Cowboys to score 24+ this week against the 49ers and win this game straight up. The 49ers did not look good in the red zone last week settling for four field goals. 14 of the 49ers points were scored by Ted Ginn on a 102-yard kickoff and 55-yard punt returns. Not impressed at how the 49ers looked against a bad Seattle Seahawks team. Dallas has better talent with Romo, Austin, Bryant, and Witten. The Cowboys win the eye test based on the performances of both teams last week and WIN in comfortable fashion.
(Cowboys 0-1 WL , 1-0 ATS) (49ers 1-0 WL, 1-0 ATS)
