I’m working a little bit of overtime this week but it’s all for you guys, the No Huddle rolls on! I’ll quickly touch on Thursday night’s game between the Jets and Bills and go over some news before giving my Week 2 picks against the spread.

Thursday night turned into a much better game than anyone could have expected, but that’s a good thing for us. The Jets got a much-needed victory to right the ship before a huge stretch of games against a tough group of playoff teams. Buffalo falls to 0-2 with the loss and sees its playoff hopes drifting further and further away (historically, 0-2 teams have about a 12% chance to make the playoffs). Offensively the Jets looked great in a total team effort on that side of the ball. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 374 yards and a touchdown. Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall both went for 100+ receiving yards on six catches a piece with Decker adding the receiving touchdown. Matt Forte was a monster in the redzone with 3 touchdowns on the ground and 100 yards.

Buffalo may have put up 31 points but it’s a deceiving number. It was a bad offensive night from the Bills if you took away the two big touchdown plays. The Greg Salas 71-yard touchdown stemmed from a broken play and a busted coverage. Marquise Goodwin absolutely burned Darrelle Revis for an 84-yard touchdown. Outside of that, the Bills really didn’t accomplish much on offense. Even worse, they didn’t reach the redzone until the final touchdown drive of the game. That’s not going to get it done in the NFL.

The big news from this game came on Friday with the firing of Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman. From the sounds of the reports, specifically one from Sporting News, Roman may have been the scapegoat for the 0-2 start to keep the heat off Rex Ryan for the time being.

Ok, now onto my Week 2 picks against the spread. It was a bit of a mixed bag in Week 1, I went 8-8 with last week, which is okay for anyone that went with my winners. Here are the picks for this week (Winners in Bold).
