NFL 2021: Ken Schott's Week 2 picks, TV listings

Sep. 15—Certainly, I didn't have a great start to my 2021 NFL selections in Week 1.

I was an ugly 7-9. My pick in the survivor pool that I play as part of The Daily Gazette's U Pick 'Em contest, the Tennessee Titans, got smoked at home by the Arizona Cardinals.

One pick that I was happy that I was wrong was picking the Atlanta Falcons over my Philadelphia Eagles. After a sloppy first half by both teams, the Eagles dominated the second half and posted an easy 32-6 victory. Does that mean I'm ready to pick them to win Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers? Not yet.

I hope I can do better this week.
