Week 2 Predictions

Ok so your girl didnt do so good last week with her picks finishing 9-7. Going to try to do a little better this week. So here we go:

Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) vs Tennessee Titans (1-0)

Pittsburgh looked good in their home owner against the Falcons last week even without Big Ben. Can Dennis Dixon get the Steelers off to a 2-0 start? Behind that strong D with Polamalu looking healthy it's possible. Titans crushed the Raiders last week at home, but alas..it's the Raiders so cant celebrate but so much. Can Titans rattle off a 2-0 start at home to start their season? With Chris Johnson in the backfield it's always a possibility. Predicition: Titans

Baltimore Ravens (1-0) vs Cincinnati Bengals (0-1)

Ravens fought a tough defensive battle against the Jets last week. They are going to be a tough team to beat this season. Bengals suffered a smack down at Gillette Stadium last week against the Patriots and managed to look down right awful in the process. However, the Bengals did beat the Ravens both times they faced them last year and this year they have more offensive weapons. Will that be enough to get past Ray Lewis and Ed Reed? Predicition: Bengals

Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) vs Detroit Lions (0-1)

Eagles suffered the loss of their starting QB when Kolb suffered a concussion in the first half of last week's game against the Packers. However, Vick stepped in and kept the Eagles in the game losing by only 1 TD. He will be the starter this week against the Lions. Poor Lions got ROBBED last week by the NFL rule book and the refs who took away the final TD of the game that Megatron scored. Gimme a break. They will be looking to avenge their loss at home against a weak Eagles team but without their starting QB Matt Stafford. Prediction: Eagles

Arizona Cardinals (1-0) vs Atlanta Falcons (o-1)

Cardinals faced a weak opponent in week 1 by opening their season against the Rams so the 1-0 start is a bit deceiving. Derek Anderson is a mediocre QB with a top receiver in Larry Fitzgerald who can make any qb in this league look good. But as the weeks go along I believe he will start to crumble as he did in Cleveland. The Falcons lost a tough one last week against the Steelers in what turned into a defensive battle. I believe Michael Turner and Matt Ryan will get back on track this week at home. Prediction: Falcons

Miami Dolphins (1-0) vs Minnesota Vikings (0-1)

Miami Dolphins wildcat offense is one of the most fun to watch. While not always high scoring they keep the games within reach and manage to score some impressive wins. Last week against the lowly Bills they looked great with the addition of WR Brandon Marshall. They are going to be a good team to watch this season. Vikings lost a heartbreaker against the Superbowl champion Saints who seem to be on a roll still from last season. Favre looked rusty and his running game was off. I think they get it together this week and win their first one at home. Predicition: Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) vs Cleveland Browns (0-1)

Chiefs pulled off a stunning upset last week against the Chargers at home. Dwayne Bowe is turning into a top receiver in this league and Matt Cassell looks like he can pull the Chiefs out of the cellar of the AFC West division if he can stay healthy. Meanwhile the Browns...well they are the Browns. They lost a close one against the Bucs last week Jake Delhomme still looks terrible throwing 2 INTs. It is going to be a long season for the Browns. Predicition: Chiefs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) vs Carolina Panthers (0-1)

The Bucs beat the Browns lat week at home but considering they were facing Jake Delhomme I would have expected that. Josh Freeman is playing with a broken tip of his thumb on his throwing hand which is effecting his throwing motion. It may be minor but against the Panthers it might be exposed more. Panthers lost badly against the Giants in NY last week but you had to expect that. They will be looking to avenge that loss against their division rival at home. This will be a good game but I think Matt Moore and Deangelo Williams get it together this week. Prediction: Panthers

Buffalo Bills (0-1) vs Green Bay Packers (1-0)

I want to root for the Bills but I just cant. They are a weak team in a strong division who has yet to address all of the issues they have on the defensive side of the ball. Edwards is a decent qb with a good receiver in Lee Evans and Marshawn Lynch when he stays healthy is a pretty good RB, however without help from their defense to keep them in games and without a consistent air attack, this is going to be a long season for the Bills. Packers meanwhile have 1 of the best QBs in all of football right now. Aaron Rodgers had a rough game last week though throwing for 2 TDs but also 2 INTs. This week against the Bills he will get back on track and live up to the preseason hype surrounding him. Prediction: Packers

Chicago Bears (1-0) vs Dallas Cowboys (0-1)

Chicago Bears were handed a win last week after the refs and the NFL rulebook cheated the Lions out of a win. That being said, the Bears looked good on defense and Cutler threw for 2 TDs. He has Johnny Knox as his go to receiver so they will do pretty good this season. Dallas Cowboys suffered a stunning loss in DC last week against the Redskins. Blame that one on Alex Barron and the choke hold he put on Arakpo at the end of the game. They are home this week and in need of a win to get them on track. Predicition: Cowboys

Seattle Seahawks (1-0) vs Denver Broncos (0-1)

Seattle completely demolished the 49ers last week at home. It was painful to watch but shows that Pete Carroll may have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Hopefully they can sustain this momento in a terrible NFC West division that has been dominated by the Cardinals for the last few years. Broncos lost a terrible game against the Jaguars last week in Jacksonville. While their offense looked good the defense looked awful without Elvis Dumervill. This is going to be a long season for the Broncos if they dont get it together fast. Prediction: Broncos

St. Louis Rams (0-1) vs Oakland Raiders (0-1)

I want to root for the Rams I really do but I think they are still a couple of years off from being competitive again. Sam Bradford threw 1 TD and 3 INTs last week so this is going to be a tough season for him with the rebuilding Rams. Raiders lost to the Titans last week in Nashville and managed to look horrendous while doing so. They have a good defense but that offense is still struggling even with the addition of Jason Campbell at QB. That being said I know they can beat the Rams at home. Predicition: Raiders

Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) vs San Diego Chargers (0-1)

Jaguars scored a major season opening win against the Broncos last week at home. Jaguars are not a great team, but they are good enough to stay competitive throughout the season. They have a great receiver in Mike Sims-Walker and one of the top rushers in the league in Maurice Jones-Drew. Even with Garrard playing inconsistent they will have an ok season. Chargers suffered last week's biggest upset losing to the Chiefs in Kansas City. This week they are back home and ready to prove that they are the league's top team. Rivers looked good throwing for nearly 300 yards and 2 TDs and his rookie rusher Ryan Matthews looked really good. They will have a great season in a very weak AFC West division. Predicition: Chargers

New England Patriots (1-0) vs New York Jets (0-1)

This is going to be a good game for these AFC East rivals. Pats beat up on the Bengals last week at home showing they are still the team to beat in the East division. Brady threw for 3 TDs so he is still one of the best in the game. Jets meanwhile lost a tough one against the Ravens at home. Revis and Cromartie showed while they are going to have a good season though and why they may be the team to beat in the East division. Prediction: Jets

Houston Texans (1-0) vs Washington Redskins (1-0)

Texans won a stunning upset against the Colts last week at home. The AFC South is going to be a great division to watch this season. Matt Schaub looked only decent but his running game with Arian Foster was outstanding scoring 3 TDs! Texans have a good defense so they are going to have a great season if Schaub can play more consistently. Redskins won a shocker at home last week against the Cowboys. McNabb provided the consistency at qb that the Skins have been lacking but if his O line doesnt stay healthy and protect him this is going to be a rough season. Can the Skins finish better than 4-12 this season? If they can win back to back games at home they have a good shot. Prediction: Redskins

New York Giants (1-0) vs Indianapolis Colts (0-1)

Giants won big against the Panthers last week at home. Eli Manning threw for 3 TDs but also 3 INTs showing his usual up and down play. Hakeem Nicks stepped up big scoring receiving all 3 of Manning's TD tosses. Their D played much better than last season so they should do well in the NFC East division. Colts lost a shocker against the Texans in Houston, but Colts are still one of the top teams in the league. They will be at home trying to avoid a 0-2 start. They should have a tough game but win it at home. Predicition: Colts

New Orleans Saints (1-0) vs San Francisco 49ers (0-1)

The Saints looked superb in week 1 against the Vikings showing that they are still the team to beat in this league. The offense still plays great behind the leadership of Drew Brees and the defense played solid. This is going to be a good season for them. 49ers suffered a crushing defeat against the Seahawks last week where they looked atrocious. Alex Smith threw 2 INTs and his offense looked anemic. If they dont get it together they are going to have a horrible season. Prediction: Saints
