Who to Root For - Week 2 Edition

[Clawsome2]

Here it is boys and girls, the weekly who to root for. Last week was a complete dud for the over-hyped teams (see Bengals, Jets, Cowboys, Chargers) and a complete surprise for the nobodys (See Washington/Tampa) So here are my weekly picks, along with where we would stand in the division barring the best outcome of the weekend. Winners in Bold

Tampa @ Carolina - Matt Moore will get his groove back and will calm the crowd for at least one more week.

Buffalo @ Green Bay - The pack just lost Ryan Grant to IR for the rest of the season. This is why preseason predictions always never come true, pull here for the upset bringing Green bay back to the pack.

Miami @ Minnesota - Minnesota deserves to lose this one. Not only for being the only franchise to beg their QB out of retirement, but because an 0-2 record would help Carolina ahead in WC contention.

Chicago @ Dallas - It really is a tossup here, I'm tempted to pick the cowgirls here just to even things out, but seeing them suffer at 0-2 would be sweet. Neither the Bears or Cowboys has looked very good this season.

Arizona @ Atlanta - No question here, lose their home opener, and the Falcons have a lot to worry about. A so called runner up in the division struggled against the Pittsburgh no offense squad. Call them overrated.

Philadelphia @ Detroit - Take Detroit here, not too much hope for that franchise, and they deserve a W for effort after that BS call last week. Detroit is going anywhere, and Philly may shoot for a WC.

Baltimore @ Cincinnati - Root for the Bengals this week, anything short of a W here and the spotlight will be on them for week 3. Carolina is ALWAYS the rebound girl for teams that are going to struggles. You don't want to see this helpless team come to Charlotte 0-2.

Seattle @ Denver - Denver here FTW - No brainier, root always for the AFC vs NFC.

ST Louis @ Oakland - Two scrub teams that the W OR L will not mean to us.

Houston @ Washington - Houston finally gets the redskins off their high horse. I don't hate the redskins, but they need to come back to the pack.

Giants @ Indianapolis - AFC Vs NFC - Giants need to be 1-1, Eli will lose to his brother.

New Orleans @ San Francisco - Alex Smith will put up a fight, the 49ers will cause the upset of the week, and Sean Payton will steal pills from the team pharmacist, everyone wins.

If all that happens Panthers could find themselves in a very good position tied at the top 1-1 with NO, TB, and ATL at 0-2.

Good to see this post returning from last year. Nice job.

If Buffalo beats Green Bay I'll drink my own bath water. Other than that that's a real favorable Sunday for us

I don't see Atlanta losing to Arizona and the Saints are not going to lose either. Then what if we lose to the Buccs what will the records be then? Here is a pessimistic perspective

this guy seems to think underdogs are favorites, so what he really means is the team that isnt in bold

Panthers are who to pull for, everyone else can die in a fire. If we can't win, doesn't matter.

Root against other NFC South teams....unless they are playing another NFC team challenging us for the wild card. Root against Ben Rapethisgirl always. Always. That's my motto going into every Sunday.

Isn't there some rule about things like this and never picking Detroit?

As much as I hate Dallas, I hope Chicago gets destroyed and Peppers has his child molesting grin on the sideline again.
