Welcome back to Around The NFL's weekly picks. This season will be a little different. We'll have all our picks as usual and include our Duracell Power Picks below them. That's the pick of the week we feel most confident in. (No easy calls allowed.)
Dan Hanzus' power pick: Steelers over Ravens:Ben Roethlisberger hit an MJ-shoulder-shrug level of greatness last week against the Colts. I never pick against a red-hot Hall of Fame QB in his own building.
Chris Wesseling's power pick: Saints over Panthers.Mark Ingram is the truth.
Kevin Patra's power pick: Eagles over Texans. I don't care that J.J. Watt could be the byproduct of Artemis mating with Hercules; an offense commanded by Ryan Fitzpatrick is not going to outscore Chip "Genius" Kelly.
