RAVENS-TEXANS POSTPONED UNTIL NOVEMBER 9

Chris Mortensen reports (and we’ve confirmed) that the Week Two game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans has been postponed until November 9.
A league source tells us that the Texans were unwilling to play the game this weekend in any place but Houston.
And so the bye week square-dance that a reader suggested to us earlier in the week is the approach the NFL will use. The Bengals-Texans game moves from November 9 to October 26, the Bengals’ bye moves from October 26 to November 9, and the Ravens and Texans will take their bye in Week Two.
It means that the Ravens and Texans will play 15 straight games without a break, and that any plans the players on either team had for their respective bye weeks (the Texans on October 26 and the Ravens on November 9) will now change.
Here we go week 2! First off, please note the date/time change for the Ravens-Texans game. It has been moved to Monday night, thanks to Ike, and will be broadcast regionally.
Some teams seemed to get off to a strong start in week 1, like the Bears and the Eagles. Some teams suffered season-long losses, *cries LOUDLY on the keyboard*, that will impact their season. It’s still pretty early to get a bead on some teams though, so with that in mind, here are my picks for week 2.
