Last week started well. I began 4-0—then I lost the next four on Sunday and was handed another loss on Monday night.
I also took the Chiefs yesterday, and had Jamaal Charles fumble away all my hopes of beginning week 2 with a win. So I am now 4-6 on the season.
Here's hoping that these beautiful women could carry me to a successful week 2. Nine picks this week:
Houston Texans AT Carolina Panthers
PICK: Panthers -3
Texans announced that Ryan Mallett will be starting. Can't be a good sign if he couldn't beat out Brian Hoyer in camp.
Arizona Cardinals AT Chicago Bears
PICK: Cardinals -2

Cardinals' cheerleaders love America, and I love the Cardinals. That's U.S.A., by the way.
San Francisco 49ers AT Pittsburgh Steelers
PICK: 49ers +6

Word on the street is that model Crystal Icardi is a huge 49ers fan. Hope it's true, but who cares if it isn't because she's hot.
Also, she deserves two pictures.

St. Louis Rams AT Washington Redskins
PICK: Rams -3.5

This cool looking Rams' photographer is one of the luckiest men in America.
Atlanta Falcons AT New York Giants
PICK: Falcons + 2.5
Going to be seeing a lot of dirty birds coming from Atlanta players catching passes from Eli Manning, who shouldn't be giving points to anybody.
Dallas Cowboys AT Philadelphia Eagles
PICK: Cowboys +5

After losing Jessica Simpson Tony Romo rebounded big time with beauty queen Candice Crawford. No reason to believe he can't do the same after losing Dez Bryant for a couple of months.
Seattle Seahawks AT Green Bay Packers
PICK: Packers -3.5

The bikini girls will let it all hang out as Rodgers looks to take revenge for last year's playoff meltdown.
Miami Dolphins AT Jacksonville Jaguars
PICK: Jaguars +6

It's hard to bet on the Jags especially since Blake Bortles broke up with his girlfriend Lindsey Duke.
She gets two pictures too, because I hopefully will never have to take the Jaguars again.

New York Jets AT Indianapolis Colts
PICK: Jets +7
