Week 1 for GSoF resulted in 2 L's. One was a moral victory (49ers losing by 7 in a pretty fun game) and the other was just morally wrong (Raiders need a new offensive coach... maybe Don Nelson?).
The GSoM community knows the football better than Bo Jackson. Last week I was a respectable 8-7, but that's nothing compared to longtime GSoM community member DaAzNJRiCh who went 11-4! This is the same guy who said "Not a football guy All of these are guesses cuz I don't know anything about football." Props to DaAzNJRiCh the "modest assassin"! Let's see if DaAzNJRiCh can pull it off again in Week 2.
Also shout out to R Dizzle, YaoButtaMing, shrug, and djchuckdeez for going 10-5.
On to Week 2 in the... National... Football... League.
Picks
Bank on this going down:

| Carolina (0-1) @ Minnesota (1-0) |
 |
|
| Carolina will bounce back. | ||
| Cleveland (0-1) @ Cincinnati (1-0) |
 |
|

| Detroit (0-1) @ Chicago(1-0) |
 |
|
| Hide the kids! This is going to be an ugly, ugly game. | ||
| Houston (0-1) @ Indianapolis (1-0) |
 |
|
| This is like a preseason game for the Colts. | ||
| New Orleans (1-0) @ Green Bay (0-1) |
 |
|
| Look for Reggie Bush to cash in against the pathetic Packers. | ||
| NY Giants (0-1) @ Philadelphia (1-0) |
 |
|
| McNabb looks sharp again and Stallworth was a great pickup. The NFC East goes through Philly. | ||
| Tampa Bay (0-1) @ Atlanta (1-0) |
 |
|
| The Bucs are better than they played last week and the Falcons aren't as good as they played last week. | ||
| Arizona (1-0) @ Seattle (1-0) |
 |
|
| Fitzgerald and Boldin are unstoppable, but the problem is Warner is very stoppable. | ||
| Kansas City (0-1) @ Denver (0-1) |
 |
|
| Classic AFC West battle. It's going to be won on the ground or lost in the air. | ||
| New England (1-0) @ NY Jets (1-0) |
 |
|
| The 49ers already regret trading away Barlow- a year later than they should have. | ||
| Tennessee (0-1) @ San Diego (1-0) |

|
| Sun Diego D. Shout out to UCSD- Forget the Titans. Remember the Tritons! | ||
| Washington (0-1) @ Dallas (0-1) |

|
| Here's comes a lot of annoying NFC East hype on Sunday night. | ||
| Pittsburgh (1-0) @ Jacksonville (1-0) |
 |
|
| A tough defensive battle. | ||
I say one win for Yay Area football this week. The 49ers should be able to handle the Rams at home, but the Raiders need to get a new offensive assistant coach like a Charger fan in the Black Hole needs a few security guards:

GSoF Golden State of Football |
Prediction
