RICE WORLD'S NFL WEEK 2 STAFF PICKS
by None, Rice, Gerry

*Editor's Note: Analyzations has been axed for this week due to staff members' schedules. Hopefully next week! Heh heh...

     Last week was a pretty good one for us. All of us broke .500, and all but one (*cough* Gerry *ahem*) clinched their lock of the week. I guess we should all clearly state that we do play favorites sometimes, because each of us have our own teams that we follow. Gerry's been a Dallas fan for as long as I can remember. I became a Buffalo fan after I started following football religiously about 6 or 7 years ago. Damn Cowboys beat the Bills two years in a row at the Super Bowl... Anyways, ever since None joined the squad at Rice World, he's clearly stated his loyalites lay with Buffalo (yeah!). Below is the table of our records so far. We don't have the balls to play spreads, so it's all straight up. Heh heh... and a little embarassment factor from week 1. Check it out:

Wins Losses Locks Back
Gerry 10 5 0-1 ---
None 9 6 1-0 1
Rice 8 7 1-0 2

Gerry's LOCK OF THE WEEK: Indianapolis -> Indy is gonna come outta nowhere to shock everyone.
None's LOCK OF THE WEEK: Buffalo -> What's gonna make the difference for these two 0-1 teams? Home-field Advantage.
Rice's LOCK OF THE WEEK: Minnesota -> Vikings will show they are more than 1 dimensional.
