Once again, I'm late with my review, but here it is anyway.

Carolina barely pulled that one off - but they should improve now that Steve Smith is back in the lineup. On the other hand, it may have been too soon for Roethlisberger to come back. Imagine wishing for Charlie Batch to be your starter! Detroit is worse than Green Bay - now that's a feat! The Giants looked awful in Seattle - despite the relatively close result, this was a 35-0 game at one point. Of course, Seattle lost something bigger than a game when Madden's curse struck yet again, this time, breaking Alexander's ankle. And lastly, the Saints came home in a big way! Remember how Miami passed on Brees and Texas passed on Bush? Think either teams regret those decisions now?

Oh yeah - my week one winnings? Completely squandered away! Here's why betting is so tough - I'm picking 2/3 of every outcome correctly (31 of 46), yet I'm only up $6.50 on a $10 bet per game. That's a 1.4% return. Not a lot, consider I'd go negative if just one of those picks went the other way!
