NFL Picks ~ Week Two

Hello and welcome to a special Thursday edition of Tuesdays. As I've done every week for over a decade, I will be picking every NFL game against the spread this season. Note: I do this purely for fun. I am not a gambler, and I don't recommend anyone follow my picks with any substantial sums of money, unless you are indifferent about holding on to said money.

I had one of my all-time worst weeks last week, going 4-12 against the spread. Then I realized I did not do the very thing I pledged to do, which is make the opposite pick from the majority of the country. This week, with very few exceptions, I am picking the teams that the majority of the country bet against. This is the "Vegas knows more than we do" approach. Let's see how this goes...
