A second week, a second nail-biter. It was quite different in many ways to the week 1 win over the Chargers, but the Fins 24-17 victory over the AFC East division rival Patriots provided the same gall-bladder-in-throat feeling in the fourth quarter. All the same, Mike McDaniel and the Fins made enough big plays and overcame Bill Belichick’s trademark, savvy adjustments to get another win on the road and get to 2-0 to start the season. This also puts me at 1-1 in the straight-up picks department:
