Well, we're back with our weekly Sunday look at the week's NFL matchups. Last week was an odd one, with wins for Buffalo, Tennessee and Miami that massively upset the odds. Lets delve deeper into our stats and give you more of an idea how the experts can help you this week.
This week we've added some new features and tinkered with existing ones. We'll again be doing the same in the upcoming week,s but we're aiming to have a 'final' plan of how we'll approach the rest of the season in place based on your suggestions this week. We're hoping to prioritize those things that are bugbears to you, the reader, while also adding our cool new features that we have always had planned. This is your opportunity to help us get the right things in, so let us know in the comments around the site or on the forum if there's something important to you.
This week, with it being late in the day, we're going to just give you a flavour of how we are making our picks: For tha vast majority, we've used the top 14 consensus (14 of our experts scored 75% last week) and for the Arizona Jacksonville and Philadelphia games, where we're going with our gut and of course, the Giants based on an injury.

We like the Colts, but there's something to be said for the Eagles firing on all cylinders against Jacksonville last week. In fact, as we mentioned in the Jacksonville pick, we think these were two good teams going against each other, perhaps both deserving of a bit more confidence this week.
That's all for Pickwatch's week 2 preview. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates throughout the day, and we'll also be featuring some reader questions later today about the site's progression and new features. We know you all have plenty to say, so why not head over to the forum too.
