TSN football analyst Chris Schultz is back with his Week 2 selections in the NFL. With a record of 5-11, Week 2 starts off with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC North matchup. Steelers at Ravens (-3) Tough one to figure out as youre just not sure how the Rice issue affects team emotion for the Ravens, especially on a short week of preparation. What is the effect or is their none at all. For Pittsburgh, the good news is that at one point, they were up 24-0 over Cleveland; the bad news is the final score ended up 30-27. For the Ravens, the bad news was at one point they were down 15-0 to the Bengals in Baltimore; the good news is the final score was 23-16 and Baltimore could have won. Joe Flacco had to throw 62 passes against Cincinnati and ran the ball 20 times for 82 total plays and still could not win. In a game where you know it will come down to three points, I will take Ben Roethlisberger to make one more elusive move than Flacco to produce one more field goal. Pittsburgh Detroit at Carolina (-3) The Panthers picked up where they left off as a cream of the crop top defence by holding a good Tampa Bay team to 14 points. Derrick Anderson came in at quarterback and threw an interception-free game, but Cam Newton should be the starter this week. The Lions did not run the ball well against the Giants as they held them to 76 yards but Matthew Stafford did throw for 346 yards. Can Carolina limit Calvin Johnson from repeating seven catches for 164 yards. With consideration for the short week for Detroit and on the road, yes they can. Carolina Miami at Buffalo (PK) Both teams are coming off impressive wins. For the Dolphins, it was a 33-20 win over New England with a big reason why being excellence in the pass rush. We know about Cameron Wake but the hidden gem of pass rushers is on the opposite side in 0liver Vernon, who is 62", 260lbs out of Miami only in his third year. Then on the opposite side, the edge protecters, free agent Brandon Albert and first round pick JaWuan James out of Tennessee are both excellent. With the Bills , EJ Manuel was also excellent, completing 72 percent of his passes, but the Bills scored 13 points on turnovers and even though they are playing at Ralph Wilson, I was more impressed with the Dolphins win over New England than the Bills in Chicago. Miami Jacksonville at Washington (-6) Why I am thinking the Redskins is that Jacksonville was 2-for-13 on third down conversions last week in Philadelphia and thats critical because the Jaguars were dead last (31 per cent) last year as well. And Washington fumbled the ball twice inside the 10 against Houston so a possible 10 points was turned into zero. Home opener for the Redskins and second road game for Jacksonville. Washington Dallas at Tennessee (-4) Almost a must-win for the Cowboys as they still have New 0rleans at home and Seattle on the road before mid-0ctober. Four turnovers against a good 49ers team was the main reason for the 28-17 loss; four turnovers in the first half. Tennessee did look good last week. Jake Locker played like a first round pick and Tennessee controlled the ball for 38 minutes. Dallas has to have this one. Dallas Arizona at NY Giants (-2.5) Not sure why the Giants are favored in this one. Yes, Arizona from West to East is a predictor but if the Giants can only score 14 against Detroit, I cant see any more than 14 against a good Arizona defence. And I agree with all who say the rookie John Brown (510 179lbs) is a talent. Adding Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, Carson Palmer has choices like never before. Arizona New England (-3.5) at Minnesota There are s couple of reasons I like the Patriots. First, I cant remember when New England lost two in a row and Minnesota benefitted from knocking Shaun Hill out of the game and the Rams going to a third quarterback. The Dolphins outscored the Patriots, 23-0 in the second half last week. Urgency will be at an all-time high in New England. Minnesota will surprise this year, but 0-2 for the Patriots? No way. New England New 0rleans (-6.5) at Cleveland I know that history says the Saints are not the same team on the road. But on the road last week, Drew Brees scored points on his first four possessions and built a 20-7 lead. Defensively, the Saints did not play well but there is no Julio Jones, Roddy White and Devin Hester in Cleveland, not to mention Brian Hoyer is not Matt Ryan. When Cleveland went up-tempo against the Steelers, they made a 24-0 lead vanish quickly. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will be ready for any up-tempo transitions by the Browns. New Orleans Atlanta at Cincinnati (-5) I dont like the five points, even though the Bengals were undefeated at home in the regular season last year. Andy Dalton and Matt Ryan combined for 749 passing yards in Week 1. I doubt that type of success will be duplicated by the duo but I do feel the team that has the ball last will win. Matt Ryan hit five receivers for 50 or more yards last week. Too many points. Atlanta St. Louis at Tampa Bay (-4) Austin Davis maybe Shaun Hill but definitely no Sam Bradford. On the road and on a grass field is a different type of challenge for St. Louis. The defensive front seven should keep them in the game but eventually they could wear down in the Tampa Bay heat. This is a tough one as I expect the Buccaneers to win but by how much? Defence keeps it close and Bucs win by three. St. Louis Seattle (-5.5) at San Diego Time and preparation is a big advantage for Seattle. The Seahawks played in the season opener on September 5, beating Green Bay 36-16. The Chargers played on Monday night in Arizona and lost 18-17. One team has 10 days to get ready, the other five days and the 10-day team plays with more speed and energy than any team in the league. Yes, I know the Seahawks away from Century Link are not quite the same, but the power of Marshawn Lynch, the speed of Percy Harvin and the maturity of Russell Wilson is too much this early in the season. Seattle Houston (-2.5) at 0akland First home game for the Raiders, first road game for the Texans. How about JJ Watt? He signs the big deal and shows results the next game. It may be tougher to make the same impact this game because without Jadavean Clowney, teams can slide protection packages to the "Watt side". The Raiders did keep it close against the Jets (19-14) but were outgained 402-158 yet I like Derek Carr to be more comfortable at home. Also, the Texans blocked three kicks in total against Washington. On the road, Ryan Fitzpatrick may not produce a turnover-free game again. Oakland NY Jets at Green Bay (-8.5) This one could be close, as the Jets on defense are very good. Even though they beat the Raiders buy only five5 last week, they statistically dominated the game. Geno Smith is a better quarterback this year as compared to last year, and last year on the road was 2-6, five touchdowns and 13 interceptions. If the Jets establish Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory and dominate time of possession, I could see an upset but they would have to really dominate and I cant see it again as they did last week. Packers by 10 and cover the 8.5. Packers Kansas City at Denver (-13) Last week was a disaster for KC in so many ways with pass protection problems, as Alex Smith went down four times. They had key production problems too, with Jamaal Charles rushing for 19 yards and 15 yards receiving. There are injury issues as well, with Mike Vito and Derrick Johnson out for year; weakening the defensive front-seven. For Denver, at one time they had a 24-0 lead over the Colts but became complacent and won 31-24. Alex Smith does not have Andrew Luck come-from-behind skills, so if Tennessee can score 26 in KC, Denver can score 36 and cover the 13. Denver Chicago at San Francisco (-7) Hello Levis Stadium, the new and good looking home of the San Francisco 49ers. And yes, on this Monday night they want to make it home by crushing the Bears. It might happen because what was a problem last year is a problem this year -- the Bears and run defense. Buffalo averaged 5.8 yards per carry against the Bears in Week 1 and San Francisco has the talent to do the same. The 49ers did benefit from three Tony Romo interceptions and this end zone one was crippling, but I think the Bears just have too much talent not to match touchdown for touchdown with San Francisco. The 49ers win but the Bears keep it within seven. Bears on points. Philadelphia at Indianapolis (-3) This game says lots of points, as explosive talent is prevalent on both teams. For the Colts, yes in Denver they lost 31-24 but outscored and outperformed the Broncos 17-7 in the second half and missed on a critical 4th and goal on a quarterback sneak. The Eagles wore out Jacksonville last week, running 82 plays. They scored 34 points in the second half to none by the Jags. The Colts will be aware and ready. If the game is close in the fourth, I like Andrew Luck to do what right now no one can do better -- come from behind and win a game in the fourth. Colts Fake Nike Shoes From China .

Chasing his third victory of the year on the Champions Tour, Perry shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the Dicks Sporting Goods Open. Perry, the Senior Players and U.S. Senior Open winner this summer, had three birdies over the final four holes to surge past Bart and Brad Bryant and Joel Edwards. Esteban Toledo, Jeff Freeman, Rick Fehr, and Russ Cochran were tied for fifth at 67 as more than half the field broke par at the short-and-narrow En-Joie Golf Club under nearly ideal scoring conditions. Perrys round turned with a brilliant shot at the par-5 12th hole. He holed a 6-iron from 187 yards for eagle. He also had six birdies to go with one bogey, hitting 15 fairways and putting just 26 times. "I was 3-under par, playing nicely, cruising along," said Perry, who leads the Champions Tour in money winnings with over $1.5 million. "You have a lightning bolt hit you like that -- Hey man, we can shoot a low score. It really pumped me up. It really got me excited. It got me motivated. It made me more aggressive." Just one shot behind, it felt like the good old days for the Bryants -- save the aches and pains. They were tied for the lead until Perry came along in the final group. "Someone looked at the scoreboard and said, Man, that Bryant, he must be good," Brad said, smiling broadly. "Hes leading the tournament and went back out for 18 more (holes). " Bart, at 50 a rookie on the senior tour, is trying to recapture a lot of what he lost at the end of his PGA Tour career, when two wrist surgeries kept him away from the game for three years. "It was frustrating. It was tough. I was out for a good three years and well over two that I couldnt even putt or chip or anything," Bart said. "Honestly, I really thought that I was probably done. It was a long three years. Just to be out here playing, it just feels so good." Bart birdied No. 2, hitting sand wedge to about 10 feet right of the hole and made a good putt after missing one on the opening hole. At No. 12 he hit to 6 inches out of a greenside bunker and made another birddie, then hit 5-iron at the par-3 14th hole to 15 feet and made that.ddddddddddddHe capped the round with a 30-foot birdie putt on the closing hole. "When I first came out here this year, I didnt have a lot of game," said Bart, whose best finish so far this year is a tie for fourth two weeks ago at the 3M Championship. "My golf muscles were not built back up. I just wasnt back at the level that I was when I left, or even close. As the years gone on, Ive gotten a little bit stronger, Ive lost a little bit of pain, and Im starting to get some of those shots back in my arsenal, so I feel like Im kind of creeping in on some really good golf and maybe having the ability to compete. To win out here is very tough." If not for a bogey at the par-3 fourth hole, Brad Bryant would have had a share of the lead. Still, despite a bad right foot that hobbled him all last year and an operation that has not provided any improvement to his health, Brad had a stellar round. He made three putts inside 6 feet, chipped in from 18 feet for birdie at the par-3 14th hole, and closed his round with a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 18. Happy with his round. Even happier with that of his brother. "Seeing Bart up there is always a good thing. Hes world-class," Brad said. "It was really unfortunate that his wrists basically disintegrated. All the cartilage just went away and the doctors couldnt figure out why. "I had a nice career on the PGA Tour, but I never was good as Bart. He was top 30 in the world for a couple of years. If he could get back physically, just healthy, every time hes been healthy hes really played well." Edwards started strong, rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 2, then smoked the back nine with four birdies to match his best round of the year. Since tying for seventh at the Principal Charity Classic in early June, his best finish has been a tie for 35th at the U.S. Senior Open. "It was a good, solid round. It was very important for me mentally to get that under your belt and see if you can do it again," the 51-year-old Edwards said. "Its been a long time since I played that well. Thats exciting." ' ' '
