Here's the Week 2 games. Please have your picks in prior to the kickoff of the particular game you're choosing for. Normally we don't do the upset specials until Week 10, but this week has a special game in it due to the high point spread:

Chiefs @ Lions

*Seahawks @ Steelers (Super Bowl XL Grudge Match)(Steelers favored by 14.5 pts)

Bears @ Saints

Jaguars @ Jets

Browns @ Colts

Cardinals @ Redskins

Packers @ Panthers

Buccaneers @ Vikings

Ravens @ Titans

Raiders @ Bills

So, if you decide to pick the Seahawks and they win, you'll receive 2 points due to the high point spread in that game. If the Steelers win and you choose them, you'll still get 1 point.

Thanks everyone, and good luck.
