Now we're off and running. After a Week 1 of sloppy NFL games and shake-up near the top of the power rankings, it's time to get into a groove selecting games.

Welcome to Week 2 of the 2017 season, football fans.

After a long offseason, the games have arrived. No more talking about the NFL Draft, OTAs, training camp, preseason or roster cuts. Now it's finally about the season, games and week-to-week matchups.

Every year, that means a few things: Fantasy football, cheering on your favorite team, and, of course, taking a peek at the spreads in order to make sure you're on the right side of every outcome.

Consider this a one-stop shop guide to picking every (or at least the majority) game correctly:

Houston Texans at Cincinnati Bengals (-5)

Thursday, Sept. 14, 8:25 p.m. EST

In Week 1, Houston looked nothing like the team that had a chance in the first half of a playoff game in New England last season. Is Deshaun Watson ready? Can the offensive line block? Thursday nights are tricky, but this should be closer than the spread. THE PICK: Texans.

Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens (-7.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

DeShone Kizer showed flashes for the Browns, but allowed himself to be sacked seven times vs. the Steelers. Baltimore has a better defense and more consistent pass rush than Pittsburgh. Baltimore rolls. THE PICK: Ravens.

Buffalo Bills at Carolina Panthers (-7.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

Sean McDermott vs. Ron Rivera. One of three teacher vs. protege battles of Week 2--with two stemming from the Andy Reid coaching tree. It's hard to know what to take from a Bills win over the Jets, but Carolina looks significantly deeper. THE PICK: Panthers.

Arizona Cardinals (-7.5) at Indianapolis Colts

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

The Colts are splitting first-team quarterback reps this week between Scott Tolzien and Jacoby Brissett. This team is a tire fire. Arizona looked awful in Week 1 and lost David Johnson. But expect Bruce Arians to have them up to bounce back against a limping opponent. THE PICK: Cardinals.

Tennessee Titans (-1.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

Buy low! If the Titans had won in Week 1 and Jaguars had lost, this line would be much, much higher. One week doesn't change enough to sway me. Jacksonville's defense can keep them in games, but Tennessee won't fall to 0-2. THE PICK: Titans.

Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

Criticism in Philadelphia aside, both teams are coming off very impressive road wins in Week 1. Carson Wentz and a dominant defensive line will give the Eagles a chance every week--including in this Doug Pederson vs. Reid coaching battle. But don't bet against Reid when he has extra time to prepare. THE PICK: Chiefs.

New England Patriots (-6.5) at New Orleans Saints

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

Lock of the week. New England (0-1, off an embarrassing loss, 10 days to prepare) should rout New Orleans (0-1, short week, Adrian Peterson turmoil building) in the Superdome. THE PICK: Patriots.

Minnesota Vikings at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

One of the most intriguing games of Week 2. The Steelers escaped with a win in Cleveland, but didn't look themselves on offense. Meanwhile, the Vikings dominated the Saints and Sam Bradford looks better than he ever has in the NFL. Take the points--and don't be shocked if there's an upset. THE PICK: Vikings.

Chicago Bears at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-7)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 1:00 p.m. EST

Chicago was game for a home opener vs. Atlanta. But going on the road to Tampa--with weeks of rest to prepare and get revved up after Hurricane Irma--will put a ton of points on the board. THE PICK: Bucs.

New York Jets at Oakland Raiders (-14)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 4:05 p.m. EST

Uh oh. New York has to get back up after a physical game vs. a division rival, travel across the country and take on an offense it can't keep up with over four quarters. THE PICK: Raiders.

Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Chargers (-4.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 4:05 p.m. EST

This is a tricky one. Miami likely has the better roster and comes in with rest--but was displaced for a week due to Hurricane Irma. Los Angeles gets its home opener in a soccer stadium--making for an unpredictable environment. Expect a field goal game, so take the points. THE PICK: Dolphins.

Power rankings

Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at Denver Broncos

Sunday, Sept. 17, 4:25 p.m. EST

Is Dallas' defense as good as we saw on Sunday night? Or is the Giants offense just fatally flawed? I'll go with the latter and expect the Broncos to make this a real fight against a talented Cowboys offense. But that spread is low enough to win on a late Cowboys field goal. THE PICK: Cowboys.

Washington Redskins at Los Angeles Rams (-2.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 4:25 p.m. EST

Make this three teacher (Jay Gruden) vs. protege (Sean McVay) games this week! Based on Week 1, the line is fair--but we could be looking at an overreaction. The Rams are improved, but good enough to start 0-2? I doubt it. Washington bounces back. THE PICK: Redskins.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (-13.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 4:25 p.m. EST

Seattle usually starts slow, so Week 1's loss in Green Bay was no surprise. If the 49ers had a little bit more talent, this could be a real game for four quarters. But they don't. Seattle's defense overwhelms and the 12th man does its thing. THE PICK: Seahawks.

Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons (-2.5)

Sunday, Sept. 17, 8:30 p.m. EST

In a preseason interview, Aaron Rodgers talked about the importance of a big regular season in order to earn home field advantage in the NFC playoffs. Green Bay played like it's a priority in Week 1. Now they'll spoil the opening of Atlanta's amazing new stadium to race to a 2-0 start. THE PICK: Packers.

Detroit Lions at New York Giants (-4)

Monday, Sept. 18, 8:30 p.m. EST

Is it crazy to call this a "must-win" game for the Giants? I don't think so--especially with a trip to play Philly's pass rush in Week 3 on the horizon. New York bounces back--scoring over 20 points for the first time in eight games. THE PICK: Giants.

Last week: 8-7

Season record: 8-7
