First, a thank you. Second, an apology. Then, a few excuses. Lastly, redemption (hopefully) in the form of five brand new picks. If you don't care about any of the first three items and just want my picks, feel free to keep on scrolling until you reach the GIF of Jyn Erso -- and if you don't know who Jyn Erso is then we probably can't be friends. Thank you to everyone who did not tweet at me or email me to inform me that my five best bets for Week 1 went 0-5. Either no one read my or everyone read it, but was nice enough to understand that bad weeks happen to everyone, even to someone who went 49-35-1 with his weekly best bets last season. Or Paul Pierce Jersey maybe some people read it, but nobody really cared. I'm gue sing it's a combination of options 1 and 3. But that was bad. I apologize. 0-5 weeks shouldn't happen. But it did. The lost by more than three against the , the - game featured more than 45.5 points, the and did not combine to score more than 50.5 points, the did not cover the 9.5-point spread against the , and the did not lose by 2.5 points or fewer against the . Putting 0-5 into actual words -- describing how it happened -- hurts. It's probably why But in my defense -- and here come the excuses -- how was I supposed to know that the Panthers would inexplicably fumble twice and mi s a field goal in the first half, making the West Coast team in the early time window in an East Coast game look like the more awake side? How was I supposed to account for -- not to mention 57-yard field goal hitting the cro sbar and bouncing out. One of these days, . How was I supposed to know and the Redskins would generate 17 points on their first three series, which pretty much wrecked the under almost immediately? How was I supposed to know would find a way to throw for 418 yards in Seattle? How was I supposed to know that would look like the worst quarterback in football? OK, I probably should've seen the Trubisky thing coming considering le s than three months ago. I also probably should've seen the Dalton thing coming considering I talk to Bengals fan John Breech on the -- sometimes even more frequently with all of our emergency podcasts. For a whole host of reasons, that 0-5 really did happen. Now, it's time for redemption. It's a long season. Even though I didn't post a 0-5 record even once last season, there's plenty of time for a bounce-back -- then again, there's also plenty of time for me to sink even further into the aby s Will Clarke Jersey , but I digre s. Below, you'll find my five best bets for Week 2, right after I provide one final reminder that I really did do pretty well with my picks last season. I swear I'm not making that record up! Last week: 0-5 Last year: 49-35-1 1. Panthers -6.5 vs. Buccaneers When in doubt, go with what you trust. And what I trust is being a not good quarterback -- something I've been repeating for a while now. Winston looked dreadful in his debut under Bruce Arians, even against one of the worst secondaries in football. At home, the Buccaneers lost by 14 points to the 49ers. Winston threw two pick-sixes, which makes it pretty easy to figure out how and why the Buccaneers lost. Jameis Winston with the game-clinching TD pa s...for the 49ers Pick Six Podcast (@picksixpod) As for the Panthers, they really should've beaten the Rams on Sunday, but their sloppine s doomed them. The good news Herschel Walker Jersey is that the line is only at -6.5 because the Panthers inexplicably did not beat the Rams. To be clear, this pick isn't about overreacting to Week 1. It's about factoring in what we saw in Week 1 and using what we learned in conjunction with what we saw all of last season, when the Panthers started 6-2 before 's shoulder injury derailed their season and the Buccaneers looked like one of the worst teams in football regardle s of who was starting at quarterback. The Panthers are the better team. They're at home. And it's a short week. Give me the Panthers to beat up on the Buccaneers. When in doubt, trust Jameis Winston to be Jameis Winston. Since 2015, when he entered the league as the top overall pick, and his 3.12 interception rate is substantially higher than any of the quarterbacks directly beneath him on the leaderboard. More importantly ... IMPORTANT UPDATE: Jameis Winston is now 4-12 as a starting quarterback since his infamous eat a W pregame speech. Mark Bergin (@mdbergin) 2. +3 at Like the Panthers, the Colts were unlucky to take a lo s in Week 1. During their overtime defeat to the in Los Angeles, the most clutch kicker in NFL history, , mi sed two field goals and an extra point. But what's important is how good looked, completing 77.8 percent of his pa ses for 190 yards and two touchdowns without turning the ball over. He did that against a pretty good defense, too. Meanwhile, the Titans are getting a bit of a bump here after their blowout win over the . The win was impre sive, but the final margin of victory does not accurately portray how this game played out. Yes, the Titans deserved to beat the Browns. But no, they did not deserve to win by 30 points. This was a 15-13 contest late in the third quarter and then completely imploded with three interceptions in the fourth quarter, all of which were turned into Titans touchdowns. The Titans played well and look like a po sible playoff team, but they didn't look as impre sive as the final scoreline ( Josh Hammond Jersey 43-13) indicates. At worst, I think the Colts can keep it close and emerge with a push. But I also think the Colts are better than the Titans and are good enough, even in a post world, to steal a road divisional game. 3. at Over 53 The Chiefs' offense still being out of this world and the Chiefs' defense still being terrible do not exactly qualify as breaking news. Against a good defense, the Chiefs' offense dropped 40 points with throwing for 378 yards and breaking out for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Against and for most of the game, the Chiefs' remodeled defense allowed 26 points. In relief of an injured Foles, Minshew went 22 of 25 for 275 yards and two touchdowns. So yeah, the Chiefs defense is still not fixed even after changing defensive Saquon Barkley Jersey coordinators and swapping out , , and for and . On the other hand, the Raiders' offense being good does qualify as breaking news. Against what was expected to be a good-to-great defense, the Raiders scored 24 points with completing 22 of his 26 pa ses for 259 yards. Carr, a quarterback who entered the game averaging 6.7 yards per attempt for his career, averaged 10 yards per attempt against the Broncos. Most importantly, he was kept clean. A year after allowing 52 sacks, the Raiders' offensive line allowed zero sacks and against the likes of and . Given Carr's career-long struggles against pre sure (both real and phantom), the Raiders' offensive line submitting that dominant of a performance is important. If it continues, Carr could be in for a bigger than expected season. If you liste
