And if I lose this bet, I have to eat that scorpion lollipop that Hickey got me as a gift when he went out to the desert in Arizona. After one week, the good guys are up. Yours truly, two and one. Hickey, one and two. At least you got one though Hickey. I've done that before in week one, oh and three.

That's never fun. So I give you credit. Unlike the Giants, we were on the board in week one. You were like the Colts.

You showed some life but you ended up being a loser. So I start things off in Jacksonville. I love the Jaguars this week. I think the Jaguars are going to win the game outright. So with that being said, the spread is Kansas City minus three and a half. At worst case, I really do believe this is a field goal game so I love that hook as well. I think Jacksonville though is going to win this game.

I like the Jaguars plus the three and a half points up against the Kansas City Chiefs. That's my first pick. Can I do my dog first or do I save for last?

You can do whatever you want. All you need to do is pick one dog. You can pick two. You can pick three if you want but there just has to be one.

You can throw the dog whenever you want. You can give me a favorite. You can give me a dog.

Give me a favorite. Whatever you would like. I got my only win last week on a dog. Thank you Browns plus two and a half. I'll let you do the woofing because yeah, we've heard enough of the high-pitched woofing for this week for sure.

You're like a neutered Chihuahua with that cone on his head. We're going road dog here in week number two. I don't know why this betting line has changed.

It's changed in the last day or so. May the sharps come in late. Cults plus one on the road in H-Town. CJ Stroud, I hope he plays. I want to see number two overall versus number four overall. On the injured list with a shoulder injury. Questionable for the game.

O-line stinks is banged up right now. Cults win this game whether Stroud's on the field or not. Cults plus one. Give me that. That's great. I love that you taped the cults plus one. Because now I can root for you to be wrong and hope you're wrong. I don't know if you're going to be wrong. And also means you get to root against the Indianapolis Colts.

So I appreciate you doing that. And surprise, surprise, it only took until week two for Hickey to pick the Colts. Alrighty, my next pick. I love the Niners this week. I love the Niners defense.

I think Brock Purdy is going to be rocking out with his Brock out once again and looking pretty awesome. And Ron CMC is going to continue his quest as predicted to be the offensive player of the year in the National Football League. In the National Football League. I will go with the San Francisco 49ers to win the game on the road at SoFi Stadium. So this is basically a home game for the 49ers because there are 49ers fans.

I don't think there are Rams fans or there are very few of them. But I like the Niners to go into SoFi which is a beautiful stadium, win the game, blow out the Rams and cover the seven points. Give me the Niners. Lions 7.

I'm going to go with the theme here for the second pick as similar to the first pick. Picking against banged up teams. The Ravens are a mash unit right now. Injured coming into the season. Injured coming out of week number one. Offense alignment.

Secondaries banged up as well. Cincinnati is primed for a bounce back after a rough week number one. Three point favorites. I'll take the Bengals minus three here in week two for a big bounce back.

I love that pick. I almost just considered we could pick the same game. I had in my notes Giants minus four and a half and I was debating before you said that to take the Bengals minus three. But I'll stick to the script. I'll be like the NFL.

I will stick to the script. I like the Giants this week. The Cardinals, they gave a good effort last week.

Maybe this could be a Miami Dolphins situation from a few years ago where the owner and the front office is tanking but players and coaches don't tank. But this Giants team, I know that I expect them to regress this year. I know I didn't pick them to make the playoffs. But the Cardinals going to be able to give you a really good effort in back to back weeks and this could light a fire under the you know what of the New York Giants after getting embarrassed and emasculated by the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football where they lost the game 40 to nothing. Give me the Giants in this game and give me the Giants laying the four and a half points.

Finally here. My third pick. I'm rolling with a guy I've been backing who made me look very good. Granted all just one week but did make me good last week. Baker, Mayfield and the Bucks now returning home after their triumphant pillaging of the Vikings up there in Minnesota. Minus two and a half at home against the Bears who did not look very good whatsoever in week number one. I think that will continue here in week two.

The Bears' sorrows. Bucks minus two and a half at home. Give me Baker time for two weeks in a row. You going back to the mustache?

I may do it anyway honestly. The way if he keeps rolling here and this team is like 10 and 0 right now and we're talking about them as maybe the team to beat in the NFC. 10 and 0? 10 and 0.

What crack are you smoking? You know they play the Eagles next week. Well then we're talking about them as the best team maybe in football if they're 10 and 0 and beat the Eagles. Whatever the number is next week. Just out of principle I may lay it with the Philadelphia Eagles. So here are the picks for week two. On the line for Hickey if he loses the picks.

On the season he has to eat escargot which he's terrified of. If I lose I have to eat a scorpion lollipop that Hickey got me. I'm two and one.

Hickey's one and two. My week two picks. Jaguars plus three and a half. Niners minus seven. Giants minus four and a half. Hickey's going with the Colts plus one. The Bengals minus three.

And the Bucks laying the two and a half points. Imagine you're looking at a balancing scale with everything you do for other people on one side and everything you do for yourself on the other side.
