AFC CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH RAVENS AND PATS
UNDEFEATED EAGLES TRAVEL TO PLAY 2-0 CARDS
FALCONS 2-0 VS SAN DIEGO 2-0
RECORD 24-9
RECORD INCLUDES NEW YORK/CAROLINA GAME
ST LOUIS (1-1) VS CHICAGO (1-1)
The Chicago Bears have been waiting to get back on the field after a crushing loss against Green Bay. The Bears are better at home but can the Chicago offensive line keep Cutler upright? St. Louis is no walkover. Jeff Fisher has this St. Louis defense playing physical and they are solid. Chicago can't afford too fall to 1-2. I see the Bears winning a tough game in this one. CHI 23 STL 20
TAMPA BAY (1-1) VS DALLAS (1-1)
Just when Dallas looks unstoppable, they lay an egg and the offense only manages 7 points. So which Cowboy team do we get in this one? Tampa Bay is still a sleeper pick. They should be 2-0 at this point and the Bucs are still thinking about that loss against the Giants. You better believe both teams will be ready on Sunday. Dallas opens at home with a win. DAL 24 TB 20
SAN FRANCISCO (2-0) VS MINNESOTA (1-1)
The Vikings are at home for this one and Randy Moss returns to the dome. The 49ers are the best team in the NFL hands down. They are better then Minnesota in all areas of the game. This Viking offense will have trouble scoring and moving the ball against the 49er defense. Look for Frank Gore to have 100 yards rushing or more. San Francisco makes it look easy. SF 31 MIN 14
DETROIT (1-1) VS TENNESSEE (0-2)
The Titans have struggled in both their games while Detroit has been up and down. Detroit is a solid team, but they have trouble playing against the elite of the NFL. The Titans are not elite, nor good at this point and time. I still want a quarterback change. Where is Chris Johnson? Despite that, Locker will find a way to win his first game at home. TEN 34 DET 31
CINCINNATI (1-1) VS WASHINGTON (1-1)
The Redskins are at home for the first time this season and the crowd should be pumped up. The Bengals have been once again plagued by big name injuries and this tough defense has not played like they did a season ago. This will be a tough test for the Bengals. RG3 came back down to Earth last week but the kid is talented. However, I like Dalton and Green in this one. CIN 20 WAS 19
NEW YORK JETS (1-1) VS MIAMI (1-1)
Miami played much better last week at home as Reggie Bush went crazy. The Jet defense and offense struggled against a tough Pittsburgh team. This is a big game for both teams. The Jets have Darrell Revis back, but I am more worried about the front seven. Miami gives up a lot of yards and Mark Sanchez should have a good day. Maybe we will see Tebow. NYJ 28 MIA 20
KANSAS CITY (0-2) VS NEW ORLEANS (0-2)
The Saints are 0-2 and I don't believe any of us saw this. You are now seeing the value of coaching staff. Kansas City has the talent to beat the Saints, but there is no chemistry on this team. This is a dire situation for the Saints, a must win game for New Orleans. However, we know that this is not the same New Orleans team, the one that rarely gets beat at home. Both teams have had trouble on defense and KC is the better team. Saints will be 0-3. KC 31 NO 30
BUFFALO (1-1) VS CLEVELAND (0-2)
The Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills were supposed to have top rated defenses this season, but they haven't showed up yet. Both teams have trouble passing, despite the stats. This will be a rushing contest. It will be CJ Spiller and Trent Richardson in this one. Brandon Weeden showed potential last week, but the Bengal defense was playing prevent. Look for the Browns to keep it close, but the Bills pull away late. BUF 28 CLE 17
JACKSONVILLE (0-2) VS INDIANAPOLIS (1-1)
The Colts blew a 14 point lead at home last Sunday but managed to get their first win of the season. The Jaguars need to play for 4 quarters instead of only the second half. The Colts can score, but their defense has had issues. The Colts are giving up nearly 31 points a game. If Jacksonville can get out the gates early, they can get a win. I feel a mild upset. JAX 27 IND 24
PHILADELPHIA (2-0) VS ARIZONA (2-0)
The Arizona Cardinals had a huge win last week defeating New England at home 20-18. This Arizona defense is something special early in the season. However, they face a team that is dangerous in Michael Vick and the Eagles. If Philadelphia cuts the turnovers, they may just be unbeatable. They are traveling out west, but the Eagles win a another tough game. PHI 27 ARI 20
ATLANTA (2-0) VS SAN DIEGO (2-0)
The second matchup of undefeated teams is the Falcons and Chargers. Atlanta has looked great, much better then the Chargers. The Falcons haven't lost in San Diego ever. The Falcon defense is matching that dangerous offense. Philip Rivers has only one interception so far and if they get Matthews back, they can make it interesting. Falcons move to 3-0. ATL 24 SD 17
HOUSTON (2-0) VS DENVER (1-1)
Peyton Manning struggled against Atlanta and Houston has a better defense. Denver is at home, but the Broncos offense will have issued against the Texans. Denver is solid on defense, but Houston has so many weapons on offense. The Texans have the top ranked defense, only allowing 8.5 points per game. Denver will score a little more, but not enough. HOU 28 DEN 17
PITTSBURGH (1-1) VS OAKLAND (0-2)
The Steelers are a team that Carson Palmer knows well. Oakland has played well at home over the years and have pulled out some big wins. The Steelers have been plagued with injuries, big names on both sides of the ball. However, the Steelers have owned Palmer and I expect no difference. It will be a physical game and the Steelers will eventually pull away. PIT 27 OAK 17
NEW ENGLAND (1-1) VS BALTIMORE (1-1)
Could you even imagine one of these teams at 1-2? This is a big game for both teams. Baltimore is at home in this one, where they play the best. However, they haven't beat New England in the regular season. Wes Welker has been absent from the Patriot offense and the offense was out of rhythm last Sunday. The Patriot defense is better and they respond on the road. NE 21 BAL 20
GREEN BAY (1-1) VS SEATTLE (1-1)
We saw last week how tough Seattle is at home. The Green Bay defense played huge against Chicago and they will have to stop a balanced Seattle offense. The Seahawk defense is just as impressive. If anyone can handle such a hostile crowd, it is Aaron Rodgers. I believe this will be a closer game then people suspect, but Green Bay pulls out the win. GB 31 SEA 21
