Week 2 NFL Picks

  Can Kaepernick lead SF to victory Sunday night? Photo Credit: Getty Images The opening week of the season provided fans with some great matches full of touchdowns, interceptions and strangely, shocks. Nobody saw the Bills beating Chicago, nobody saw the Jaguars going 17-0 up against the Eagles and nobody saw the Patriots failing to beat the Dolphins. It was a bad week for me in the predictions as I scored a grand total of 5/12 matches. Once again, I am going to be predicting Sunday’s fixtures but not the late game which features the Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers. Hopefully I can perform better in the 13 matchups that shall occur at the weekend. By: Alex McMahon
