NFL 2012 Pick'em: Week Two

Last week was just a last-second teaser for the NFL 2012 Pick'em, netting a handful of points. This is the launch of the full campaign. It's a long way to the end of the regular season, so stick with it. Bonus points, ghost points and new features such as interactive injury celebration (patent pending) vouchsafe a slobberknocker of a 2012 NFL season.

Please enjoy this free contest to win a bounty: one framed haiku poem by author Andrew Wice. Handwritten and custom-framed in blonde aspen wood, this prize is sure to liven up your guest bedroom or garage with a subtle message of beauty and loss. Or, if you don't want that, I'll write a dirty limerick in your honor. Your choice!

Please leave your picks in the comments section. Points accumulate through the season. These will be the categories every week:

The Big Shoe-In
Pick the one team that will definitely win. Correct pick is +2, incorrect pick is -3
