 Celebrities make their NFL picks
By Stacey Pressman
Special to Page 3

 In Week 2, Carolina Panthers fan Holly Robinson Peete ascended to the top with 13 points -- thanks to family allegiances. While making her picks Peete admitted, "I really didn't even want to take Carolina against Kansas City, but you know ..."

Overall, Peete moved into second place, just shy of dethroning Luke Walton, who in true Laker fashion seems to be the early favorite.

Quotable:
"I may have started slow, but I'll finish up strong. No way I'm letting James beat me."
-- Andy Roddick, who missed his "lock" for the second consecutive week.

The rules:
  • Games are picked straight up
  • Poolers pick one lock-of-the-week, indicated by an asterisk*
  • Every other game is worth +1 if won and 0 points if lost
  • Lock is worth +2 points if won and -2 points if lost
  • Five points added to overall score for a perfect week
  • In the event of a tie, pool will extend to postseason
