Solid Start - Week 1 Results, Week 2 Picks

Week 1 is in the books, Sports Fans. I hope you all made good plays and made your pockets a little heavier. Pretty average start for the Murphy's NFL Pickem Robot. Lets get right into it. Here are the results for Week 1:

Straight Picks: 9-7
ATS Picks: 9-7
Over/Under: 8-8

Now, I bet these results are going to get a lot more accurate a little farther into the season once we see a little more of the teams. I think Week 4 will be the start of some big parlay plays for me. There is a Delaware trip in the works for one of those weeks so if your interested let me know.

Now, on to Week 2. And if you like underdog picks, then this is the week for you. The Robot has only picked 5 favorites to cover their spreads this week. So, look out for some upsets!

Guaranteed Money Pick:
New Orleans Saints (-6) @ San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers let me down in the Guaranteed Money Pick last week. I don't know if they have what it takes to even win their division this year let alone keep up with the defending Super Bowl champs. This game isn't even going to be close. Take the Saints and don't worry about giving the points. Saints win by plenty 28-13.

Too Close to Call Pick:
Houston Texans (-3) @ Washington Redskins
After Houston upset the Colts last week, it's real easy to think they're going to trash the Redskins in Week 2. I don't think it's going to be that easy. The Robot shows this one being real close. Keep your bets away from this game. I think the Skins steal it at home 21-20.

Genius Underdog Pick:
Philadelphia Eagles (-6) @ Detroit Lions
There are plenty of underdog plays to make this week, but the one that will make you look like a genius in front of your buddies is taking Detroit with the 6 points. There's a lot going on with the Eagles' quarterback situation, and believe it or not I think the Lions have the defensive weapons to stop Michael Vick. I say they even win straight. But, with the points this is definitely where I put my money. Lions surprise Philly and win 23-20.

Here is the complete list for Week 2:
