Washington Football Team at Arizona Cardinals (-6.5)

Love the Cardinals (1-0) going forward. This is a young team with ample talent, good coaching and a wonderful quarterback. Washington (1-0) will cause problems with its disruptive front seven against Arizona’s underwhelming defense, but it won’t be enough.

Pick: Arizona 20, Washington 19

Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) at Houston Texans

The Ravens (1-0) looked unstoppable against the Browns. Now, Houston (0-1) tries to stop them with … Bill O’Brien. Yikes.

Pick: Baltimore 37, Houston 24

Kansas City Chiefs (-8.5) at Los Angeles Chargers

The Chiefs (1-0) looked better in Week 1 than they did in their championship season. The Chargers (1-0) have a terrific defense, but this is too much for them to handle with Tyrod Taylor at the controls.

Pick: Kansas City 27, Los Angeles 20

New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks (-4)

The Patriots (1-0) handled Miami at home. What about the Seahawks (1-0) on the road? Seattle might be the NFC’s best, and stopping Russell Wilson while simultaneously hoping Cam Newton goes off? Tall task.

Pick: Seattle 30, New England 21

New Orleans Saints (-5.5) at Las Vegas Raiders

The Saints (1-0) didn’t play well and still beat the Buccaneers by double-digits. Even without Michael Thomas, New Orleans should handle Las Vegas (1-0) and its substandard defense.

Pick: New Orleans 27, Las Vegas 24

Last Week: 8-8
Overall: 8-8
