Last week 9-7


Thursday  September 15th 

(CBS) Jets (0-1) at Bills (0-1) - Surprised both teams lost last week. Then again, inconsistent QB play is a big problem in the NFL. The Jets have more potential, but don't count out motivation from a Rex Ryan led team to get back at his former team. Look for that as enough motivation for the Bills tonight. But somehow, someway, they will still lose. Jets 20, Bills 14

Sunday September 18th


(CBS) Bengals (1-0) at Steelers (1-0) - Best game of the week. These games are always brutal, because division games. I see a low scoring, defense driven, penalty filled game. Steelers should prevail. Steelers 17, Bengals 10

(CBS) Titans (0-1) at Lions (1-0) - Any one else super surprised that the Lions won, and looked good doing so? I thought for sure they'd be prime candidates for the 0-16 club. BUT DAMN YOU LIONS. Titans on the other hand, good moments, but overall they have a long way to go and they need to build that defense. Titans 24, Lions 20

(CBS) Ravens (1-0) at Browns (0-1) - Alright let's get this out of the way. The Browns are now potential 0-16 candidates, sorry Joel. But it's true. Griffin going down, was just another bad sign for a team that had a chance to draft a QB of the future, and passed. It's like one gut punch after another for them. But hey, reigning NBA champs and all. Oh well. Ravens should drop the Browns. Ravens 27, Browns 10

(FOX) Cowboys (0-1) at Redskins (0-1) - It's not that either team looked good, it's just that both teams didn't play great to beat superior opponents. The Redskins, just got their ass handed to them by the Steelers. The Cowboys lack a lot on defense, but they show that they can hang with the offense they have. Prescott needs to take some shots down the field. I think the Cowboys sneak a win. Cowboys 27, Redskins 24

(FOX) Saints (0-1) at Giants (1-0) - The Saints had a chance to win, but much like the Chargers, they wilted when it counted. The Giants, for all it is worth, didn't look like a great team against a Cowboys team with a rookie, and a crap defense. For all the money they spent on the defensive side of the ball, the Giants were not impressive. It's a home game, I think they batter the Saints. Giants 31, Saints 17

(FOX) 49ers (1-0) at Panthers (0-1) - I can't lie, the 49ers did look impressive...against the Rams. Which isn't saying much. The Panthers, um...did not. Although one missed field goal is the difference. I don't like the 49ers chances against a semi angry Panthers team. Panthers 27, 49ers 13

(CBS) Dolphins (0-1) at Patriots (1-0) - Impressive that the Patriots were able to win without any discernible stars. It was a great game to attend. The Dolphins held their own against the Seahawks. I don't see them winning this week, but it should be a close game. Patriots 17, Dolphins 13

(CBS) Chiefs (1-0) at Texans (1-0) - If you don't think the Chiefs comeback was impressive, shut up. It was HIGHLY impressive. But hopefully that is not the trend with them. They could win their division, but they need to get it together on defense. The Texans, looked good, minus some costly turnovers by Osweiler. This should be one of those back and forth tug-o-war games we all love to see. Chiefs 24, Texans 20.

(FOX) Seahawks (1-0) at Rams (0-1) - Rams could legit go 0-16. I don't know why this makes me happy, but any team that has the potential to be that bad, makes my heart happy. I acknowledge that I am indeed a terrible person. Seahawks should get it going and have a productive week. Seahawks 34, Rams 7

(FOX) Buccaneers (1-0) at Cardinals (0-1) - No team more disappointing than the Cardinals in week 1. I mean, they had a depleted Patriots team, and they lost. Sure, a last minute field goal could have had them win, but when you play terrible all game, I am glad you're not rewarded with a last minute win. The Bucs, played good against a bad bad Falcons team. Winston needs to cut down on his turnovers. Should be a good game, the Cardinals defense better buckle up. Cardinals 31, Bucs 20

(CBS) Jaguars (0-1) at Chargers (0-1) - Jaguars were more impressive in week 1 than the Chargers. Part of the problem is, jump to a big lead, and coast? no. You keep pounding the football so you don't let an AFC contender back into the game. The Jaguars, with Bortles looked good. I think they are starting to figure out this whole football thing. Jaguars 27, Chargers 17

(CBS) Falcons (0-1) at Raiders (1-0) - Still impressed with the Raiders. Not even remotely close to impressed with the Falcons. The Raiders should shoot the birds out of the sky. Raiders 34, Falcons 10

(CBS) Colts (0-1) at Broncos (1-0) - The Colts did not look good, and for that matter neither did the Broncos, offensively. Defensively the Broncos did. With 10 days off, they hopefully figured it out. The Broncos need to really come out and get going fast, and not let Andrew Luck get going. Broncos 20, Colts 14

(NBC) Packers (1-0) at Vikings (1-0) - I really don't know what to make of the Vikings, but this week we should get an idea if they are for real. The Packers looked good on both sides of the ball. It's going to be one of the better games of the week. Packers 24, Vikings 17


Monday September 19th


(ESPN) Eagles (1-0) at Bears (0-1) - I don't see the Bears winning. They just look so bad. I had hope for them, but man it's like watching a JV team QB get promoted to the high school team and hoping to be a star. Jay Cutler is bad. The offense, minus Alshon Jeffrey, is terrible. The defense, for which Chicago is typically known for, is bad. Eagles, even with a rookie QB, should drop Da Bears. Eagles 24, Bears 10

Happy Week 2
