It's Week 2 of the NFL season and there are some terrific games on. So far I'm not doing a bad job predicting the outcome of games. We came 8-8 last week so I'll look to boost performance this time round.
Thursday Night Football
Packers beat Bears [MATCH OF THE WEEK] 23-10 Cutler had a bad game
Let me just clear up that I've nothing against the Bears - they're a great team and continue to be. However I like Aaron Rodgers in this matchup. I'd expect this game to be very tight, could come down to FG points.
Sunday [evening]
Fred Jackson is out for the next few games and with him lies the Bill's best chances. I expect Cassel to teach the Harvard boy a few things.
Should be no contest here. Brees has the experience and a decent defence behind him. He'll be gunning for a win after a humiliating loss to RGIII and the Redskins last week.
Bengals beat Browns 34-27
Amazing alliteration anticipated ahead of another... I give up. Bengals should win this one, I'd be very surprised if they don't. Brown's new QB Weedon got lost under the American flag last week - what does that tell you?
Luck didn't have a great opener in all honesty. That's partially his fault, but it's also his receivers that are causing problems. All I've heard from NFL commentators is how much he's going to have to rely on Reggie Wayne - one WR isn't going to cut it in this league. He needs options. Vikings looked strong in their first week matchup against the Jags despite the scoreline. Expect Peterson to run all over them
Texans beat Jaguars 27-7
Schaub (the man with the toughest name to spell) was on form last week and I expect much of the same from this veteran. Jags put up a good show last week but my money's on the Texans
Miami just don't seem like a fantastic team and the Raiders, while they had a shakey opener, are definitely the better team.
Cardinals can expect a whooping.
Giants beat Bucs 41-34
Last week the Giants were shown up, embarrassed and given a firm wakeup call. Don't forget they only won nine games last season. Manning and the team better get back to work as Freeman and the Bucs look solid after their win last week.
Joe Flacco says he's the best QB in the league. Time to step up against the 'Dream Team' defence.
Sunday [late]
Different season, different uniforms, same old Seattle. If Dallas can put together a performance like last week's victory over the Giants they are in business. Shame no one likes the Cowboys though.
RGIII is a beast, there's simply no denying it. I expect them to wipe the floor with the Rams this week.
Whoa whoa whoa! Where did Sanchez come from last week? Tough call on this one but you can't deny the Jets are starting to walk the walk. Also on a side note - their cheerleading squad are called the flight crew, which I think is just priceless.
Chargers beat Titans 38-10
Philip Rivers did his thing against the Raiders last week. Locker meanwhile is injured. CJ2K hasn't been on form the last few seasons - down to bad blocking
Sunday [extortionately late]
49ers beat Lions 27-19
SF are shaping up to be a fantastic team. Akers's FG last week was phenomenal last week - earned him a rare standing ovation in the Woolshed. Lions are a decent team but I think they'll have a long way to go to beat the Niners.
Monday [very late]
Did you see Manning last week? BOOM!
