Professor Summer's NFL Picks Week 2 WINNER!!!!
8 years ago
Professor Summer, your favorite NFL handicapper is back and off to a strong start. In week 1, I went 3 for 3, baby. This week presents a new challenge, so let's see what our glasses and labcoat (and nothing else) wearing skunk can do.

Now, if this were Las Vegas or some other regionality where gambling on sports were legal, the way it would work is simple. Pick three winners and lump them together in what's known as a parlay. If ALL THREE are correct, you're a winner, and you receive 5 times what you wagered. However, this is NOT Las Vegas, so these picks are for entertainment purposes only.
Pick 1
~Baltimore Ravens -7.5 (defeating Cleveland Browns)
Baltimore was dominant in week 1, with their defense blanking host Cincinnati. Cleveland played valiantly against the Steelers, but fell in the end. Baltimore's defense is just too nasty here, and with the Brown's QB playing only his second ever NFL game, I see the Ravens once again putting up a very low points against number. 8 points is a lot easier to cover if your defense doesn't give up many real life points to be added to.
RESULT - Ravens 24 (-7.5 =16.5) Browns 10 CORRECT
Pick 2
~Kansas City Chiefs -5 (defeating Philadelphia Eagles)
Okay, I'm buying in to the hype here. The Chiefs spoiled New England's self-celebration on opening night, and god bless them for that. Now they play host to an Eagles squad that *could* have lost the week prior if Kirk Cousins didn't barf in his own lap. With the Chiefs being an AFC rival of my favorite team, and their 1st round draft pick belonging to my favorite team, a Chiefs loss is actually what I want here. As my favorite team is the Bills, I never get what I want, so KC wins again.
RESULT - Chiefs 27 (-5 = 22) Eagles 20 CORRECT
Pick 3
~Tennessee Titans -1 (defeating Jacksonville Jaguars)
Last week, Tennessee attempted an onsides kick to open the game. It wasn't successful, and the Raiders turned that field position into a quick TD. Tennessee never recovered, spending the rest of the game trying to catch up. This week they play smarter ball against a Jaguars team that is getting too much credit for beating a Texans squad that exhibited historically bad quarterbacking in the first half of the game.
RESULT - Titans 37 (-1 = 36) Jaguars 16 CORRREEECCCCTTTT WOOOO 6 and 0!
HIT THE MUSIC!!!!
Running season total including today's games 6 correct, 0 incorrect.
See you next week. In the meantime I'll be waiting for a private message from ESPN.COM, The Ringer.com, Deadspin.com, or any other sports based website.
