9-7 isn’t how I had hoped to start. It was just one week, but the Bucs, Bengals,
and Browns were my early disappointments.
The Eagles are entertaining, the Bears look like an offensive team, and
the Chiefs may actually give the Broncos a run for the AFC West. What does this week have in store for us?
Rams @ Falcons
There’s no way the Falcons can start 0-2 right? Wrong.
I know Matt Ryan always wins
at home, but I trust St. Louis ’
defense more right now. I believe Sam
Bradford and the Rams offense will get off to an early start and, surprisingly,
control most of this game.
Panthers @ Bills
Vikings @ Bears
Might this be the week 2 gotcha? The Bears looked really good offensively last
week against a strong Bengals defense, and the Vikings had trouble doing
anything after MVPeterson took his first carry of the year to the house. Hesitantly, I pick the Bears to win
handily.
Redskins @ Packers
I think we see a lot of points in this one. The Packers faced a more potent versatile
offense last week, so they should be well prepared for an obviously rusty
RGIII. Will a week of practice make a
ton of difference? Total game score will
exceed 70.
Dolphins @ Colts
Indy barely survived what everyone figures will be a bad
Oakland team last week at the same time the Dolphins were imposing their will
on the Browns. This would be an early
statement game for Miami . I’m going with the clearly better
defense.
Cowboys @ Chiefs
Maybe I’m crazy, but I wasn’t too impressed with the Cowboys
last week. The Giants literally gave
them the game, yet the score was much closer than it should have been. After getting knocked around by the Giants,
Tony Romo heads to Arrowhead, never an easy place for a visitor, where he’ll be
hunted by Tamba Hali, Justin Houston, and Dontari Poe. Andy Reid knows the Cowboys. Chiefs by 10.
Chargers @ Eagles
I’d be really surprised if the Chargers pull off this
win. You know Chip Kelly is going to
want to run even more plays than they did on MNF, and if Ben Tate (no
disrespect; I like him) can average 6 yards a carry against San Diego , how much will Shady and Vick
tally? It’s an early east coast game for
the Chargers, and I just think Kelly is going to have them running a lot more
than they’d like that early in the day.
Browns @ Ravens
Titans @ Texans
Something tells me that the Texans need to be careful in
this one. If they come out sloppy again,
they might find it harder to come back on the Titans than the Chargers. Closer than the experts think.
Saints @ Bucs
Everything says the Bucs should lose this game. Even with an improved defense, the Bucs will
have a hard time matching scores with the Saints. Doug Martin will have a lot more room to run,
but in the end, Freeman won’t be able to make the necessary plays.
Lions @ Cardinals
Great week one win by the Lions. They won’t go to 2-0. Carson Palmer and the Cardinals win an entertaining
home opener 34-27.
Jaguars @ Raiders
In what should easily be the league’s ugliest game of the
week, I’m going to trust Terrell Pryor and Sebastian Janikowski to put the
Jaguars in the early driver’s seat for the #1 pick.
Broncos @ Giants
After that 7 touchdown performance in week 1, the Giants
have no chance right? Wrong. This one reeks upset. The Giants home dogs? Victor Cruz celebrates multiple times
again. Giants by 4.
49ers @ Seahawks
Can’t wait for this one.
Kaepernick v. Wilson . Lynch v. Gore. Elite defense v. Elite defense. San Fran got blasted 42-13 the last time they
visited Seattle ,
but that won’t happen again. The 12th
man will be in full effect Sunday night, and I think the Seahawks get the early
leg up in the division on the Niners.
Steelers @ Bengals
I’m not sure how anyone can back the Steelers after that
piss poor performance in their home opener against the Titans. Nothing against Tennessee ’s defense, but they’re not the
Bengals. I trust Cincinnati
to play much better in their home opener than did Pittsburgh .
Bengals by 13.
