NFL, week 2 ... Great games, but no surprises!


Week #2

Sunday: Sep-16th and Monday: Sep-17th



Sunday: Sep-16th:-

Buccaneers @ NY Giants
Disappointing start to the regular season for the reigning SB champions after their loss in the season opener against the Cowboys, but this doesn't mean Eli Manning and his crew will suffer another loss in Jersey. I believe this is the week were Eli regains his playoff strength and demolishes the Bucs.
Prediction: NY Giants (comfortable win)

Raiders @ Dolphins
The Raiders lost to a well organised Chargers team last Monday is Oakland, but let's keep in mind how Palmer tried his best to make a comeback. This determination from Palmer will payoff this week against a "wounded" Miami Dolphins side, the Dolphins haven't shown a lot of resiliency in the past couple of years... And they won't this season too!
Prediction: Raiders (Slight, but somewhat comfortable)

Texans @ Jaguars
Let me compare the two QBs' performances from last week, Gabbert (Jags) threw for 260 yards, and 2 TDs; while Shaub (Texans) had 6 more yards than Gabbert and 1 TD. It's a close one folks!
BUT, since the Jags lost to the Vikings in OT in Minneapolis; and the Texans beat the "wounded" Dolphins in Houston... I believe the Jags will make their fans go home happy after their season opener at home!
Prediction: Jaguars (A close call, intresting game)

Browns @ Bengals
As I like to call it: Ohio's Derby. The Browns gave the Falcons a hard fought battle last week, but still... They lost! And the Bengals!!! Oh my God. They were dominated by Flacco and the Ravens last Monday. So, we come to the conclusion that both teams have defensive issues. Also, I want to see if the Bengals' coach realised that Dalton's decision during 3rd down is awful. Weeden, since getting under the American flag last week; I believe your going to the ground more often this week.
Prediction: Bengals (Slight difference, maybe OT)

Chiefs @ Bills
I don't know about this one, in one hand we have a QB who threw 258 yards and 1 TD (Cassel/Chiefs) and in the other we have a QB who threw 195 yards and 3 TDs (Fitzpatrick/Bills). It really confuses me, but I would go with more yardage; I know more TDs are better... But more yardage means accuracy, and I love accurate!
Prediction: Chiefs (Back and forth, slight difference)

Ravens @ Eagles
I was watching ESPN today, and I saw the Vick "not getting hurt issue." I agree with Skip Bayless about being pummelled during big games, and this is a HUGE game. I mean facing a no-huddle, accurate QB and a D-line that'll sack you in every play! Mr. Vick, in my opinion, man up! Because it's a long ride, sir.
Prediction: Ravens (Comfortable win)

Saints @ Panthers
RGIII did what no one can do last season, beat the Saints in New Orleans. Then what will Cam do to the Saints in Charlotte? Make the Saints' season 0-2, that's what's he's gonna do!
Cam Newton suffered last week from what I call: the beginning of the season laziness. But in week #2, and in front of a huge crowd in the season opener (in Charlotte)... He'll prevail.
Prediction: Panthers (Huge win)

Cardinals @ Patriots
Nothing much to say here! Brady's still got it, and he wants an unbeaten season in my opinion... And he can do it!
Prediction: Patriots (They won't lets the Cards score much)

Vikings @ Colts
Andrew Luck is a promising QB, and being the #1 pick in the draft supports my point. But, the Colts have a defensive line that isn't capable of winning a high-school trophy! This team reminds of certain soccer teams who acquire great attacking players, but have horrible defenders. The Vikings will take advantage of this, definitely!
Prediction: Vikings (Slight difference)

Redskins @ Rams
RB S. Jackson is in great ship nowadays, as I heard from an interview during the pre-season that he only has 5% body fat. This will definitely rock the Redskins D, but even though; the Redskins have RGIII. Can the Rams D-line handle RGIII's passes, running, or even fakes? No they can't.
Prediction: Redskins (Interesting game)

Cowboys @ Seahawks
Romo did this, Romo did that, Romo was outstanding against the Giants!!! Complimenting anyone that much after any game will absolutely have a negative effect next time. In my opinion, Tony Romo is not in the top 10 QBs today. If he was, he would at least helped the Cowboys reach 1 SB game. But, let's give him time... Not that much of time, we'll see what can he do this season!
Prediction: Cowboys (Slight difference... 1 or 2 points)

Jets @ Steelers
Sanchez, bringing Tim Tebow had it's impact... On you! The guy is playing every game as if it was the Super Bowl, and that's good for the Jets. Beating the Bills by a 20 point deficit; wow! Passing 266 yards and 3 TDs; wow! Great calls on every down; wow!
Next-up, the Steelers; WHOA!!! Look out Sanchez, this team's D want to prove a point after what Peyton did to them last week. And I believe Polamalu is ready, and he wants to sack QBs.
Big Ben, will throw a lot of TD passes in the game.
Prediction: Steelers (Easy win... Expect sack by the Steelers D)

Titans @ Chargers
Some teams in the NFL seem happy about their status, positively or negatively! And the Titans is one of the negative-status teams. Chargers, they will charge alright!
Predictions: Chargers (Comfortable win)

Lions @ 49ers
One of the most interesting games this week! We have Alex Smith against Matt Stafford, and Megatron against Crabtree. Most NFL analysts believe that the 49ers are Sb bound, I won't totally disagree; but there are many contenders... In the NFC East to be exact! Hence, the 49ers will cruise past the Lions!
Prediction: 49ers (Easy win)


Monday: Sep-17th:-

Broncos @ Falcons
I believe the Georgia dome hasn't witnessed a regular season game as this one in a long time, the first game for Peyton manning on the road since returning form injury. Last week, Peyton Manning just kept playing mind games with the Steelers' D... I mean he was CRAZY (In a good way)! Also, let's keep in mind that "Matty-Ice" gave us an excellent show last week when manhandled the Chiefs; as he almost completed 300 yards passing with 3 TDs. It's gonna be a good one!
Prediction: Broncos (Game of the week)
