I’ll be the first to admit, Week 1 did not go well.
Remember the headline? All you need to do is scroll down.
“We like the Browns, 49ers and Dolphins in upsets.”
Wrong. All of it wrong.
Last week, Week 1 of the 2008 NFL schedule, we went 7-9. We accept your brickbats, but we will not give up. It’s like our own little NFL surge.
On to Week 2….
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Green Bay Packers (1-0) at Detroit Lions (0-1)
Honest, I still don’t believe Aaron Rodgers is the answer.
Take Detroit.
New York Giants (1-0) at St. Louis Rams (0-1)
The Giants go to 2-0. When someone mentions the Rams all season, all I’ll see is that hit on Stephen Jackson.
Take the Giants
New Orleans Saints (1-0) at Washington Redskins (0-1)
I didn’t think Washington played that badly against the Giants and I didn’t think New Orleans was that dominant against the Bucs. At home, the Redskins should win.
Take Washington
Buffalo Bills (1-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)
Jacksonville is better than they showed last week in Tennessee. I like the Bills a lot, just not this week.
Take Jacksonville
Tennessee Titans (1-0) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-1)
Chris Simms vs. Carson Palmer. Palmer couldn’t beat Joe Flacco, but then again what Palmer couldn’t beat was a very good Baltimore defence.
Take Cincinnati (just because they’re at home)
Oakland Raiders (0-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)
The NFL should not permit youngsters to watch this game. The potential ineptitude will be too frightening for children.
Take Kansas City (just because they’re at home)
Indianapolis Colts (0-1) at Minnesota Vikings (0-1)
Brad Childress gets one more week. Lose this one and he has to be fired or 2-14 is a reality.
Take Minnesota
Chicago Bears (1-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-0)
Potentially the best game of the week. Carolina’s come-from-behind, last-play win is already a legend and the Bears defence is a monster. This could be great.
Take Carolina (just because they’re at home)
Atlanta Falcons (1-0) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1)
Flip a coin.
Take Tampa Bay (just because they’re at home)
San Francisco 49ers (0-1) at Seattle Seahawks (0-1)
Call 9-1-1! Call 9-1-1!
Take Seattle
San Diego Chargers (0-1) at Denver Broncos (1-0)
San Diego lost, at home, to Carolina. Denver won, on the road, against Oakland. OK, so Carolina is a much better team than Oakland, I still don’t see Jay Cutler losing at Mile High.
Take Denver
New England Patriots (1-0) at New York Jets (1-0)
This game has outstanding potential even with Matt Cassel at the helm for New England. The Brett Favre Era could really arrive this week.
Take the Jets
Miami Dolphins (0-1) at Arizona Cardinals (1-0)
Arizona proved last week that they will be tough. I like the Cards in a romp.
Take Arizona
Baltimore Ravens (1-0) at Houston Texans (0-1)
This is a big week for Houston QB Matt Schaub. A collapse this week, like the debacle in Pittsburgh last week, and the Houston fans will be demanding the return of David Carr (OK, maybe not, but you get my drift).
Take Houston
SUNDAY NIGHT
Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) at Cleveland Browns (0-1)
OK, kids, can you say “Blowout.” I knew you could.
Take Pittsburgh
MONDAY NIGHT
Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) at Dallas Cowboys (1-0)
Could be one of the best Monday Night games of the decade.
Take Dallas (just because they’re at home).
Last week: 7-9
Season: 7-9
