It’s okay, you can open your eyes now. The New England Patriots are fine with their No. 2 quarterback. So are the Tennessee Titans.

The betting public took a big step away from the Patriots and the Titans after the events of Week 1. Tom Brady (torn ACL, MCL) and Vince Young (knee, psyche) are both on the shelf, and both their teams were 1-point road faves on Sunday. No sweat. The Patriots beat the Jets 19-10, and the Titans brushed off Cincinnati 24-7. All is well if you stuck with the chalk.

The trick here is that New England and Tennessee have fairly complete teams with depth at several positions. They can better withstand the loss of a key skill player. Tampa Bay, another strong club, beat Atlanta with Brian Griese (18-for-31, one TD, zero INT) in place of Jeff Garcia. Not so strong: the rebuilding Kansas City Chiefs. They lost QB Brodie Croyle, and then they lost to Oakland.
