NFL Week 2 Picks – 2023 Edition

In the six Week 1 matchups where all three of us made the same pick, we went 4-2. New Orleans -3 vs Tennessee and Buffalo -2.5 vs the New York Jets did not work out in our favor.

In the other 10 games where we had a lone wolf, the lone wolf went 4-6, with all four victories going to Cory, who won the week with 11 correct picks.

 

Last year, Cory won our picks contest with 145 correct picks, finishing 20 games above .500 and 10 games ahead of Eric in second place. He’s off to a strong start this season.

 

Congratulations to James Dailey, who led the fans in Week 1 with eight correct picks, starting the year right after tying for the victory in the fan contest in 2022.
