Just like some teams in the NFL, my predictions are an up and down fiasco. After a rough week 2 going 7-9 I rebounded with an 11-5 week mark. This is our first bye week of the season and six teams will be off in week number 4 including the impressive 3-0 Cincinnati Bengals. Let's not waste any more time, here are my week 4 predictions.
Giants (1-2) @ Redskins (1-2)
Both team are in desperate need of a win with the way Philadelphia is playing. Kirk Cousins played great last week putting up huge numbers. Short weeks always favor the home side, should be the same here, Cousins could be gaining more steam as the Redskins QB.
PREDICTION: Redskins
Bills (2-1) @ Texans (2-1)
I wanted to believe in the Bills but last week at home they looked bad against the San Diego Chargers. Houston is playing over their heads right now and though I believe they will win, I don't think Houston can keep this good start going.
PREDICTION: Texans
Packers (1-2) @ Bears (2-1)
Green Bay is one of the frustrating teams of the 2014 season. How they only managed 7 points against the Lions is still head scratching. Chicago has 2 wins but not sure how impressive they are yet. Green Bay needs this more than Chicago, Rodgers gets it right this week.
PREDICTION: Packers
Lions (2-1) @ Jets (1-2)
The Jets are the Jets, they probably had a good chance to beat the Bears last week, but Geno Smith's ineffectiveness led to a loss. Its feels weird believing in the Lions, but its more stable than the Jets.
PREDICTION: Lions
Titans (1-2) @ Colts (1-2)
After a nice week 1 win I thought Tennessee might have a decent season but back to back tough losses have them in a little tailspin. The Colts got right by playing Jacksonville, but then again which team doesn't. Could be another cake walk for Andrew Luck and the Colts.
PREDICTION: Colts
Dolphins (1-2) @ Raiders (0-3)
Miami is another squad who had an impressive week 1 win but has since cooled off. The Raiders have not looked good but that's not surprising to anyone. Miami should get back to .500.
PREDICTION: Dolphins
Buccaneers (0-3) @ Steelers (2-1)
Tampa is off to a horrendous start, which is a little surprising I thought Tampa would put up a little more fight. Pittsburgh is coming off a demolition of the Carolina Panthers and this week shouldnt be any different.
PREDICTIONS: Steelers
Panthers (2-1) @ Ravens (2-1)
Steve Smith Sr. playing against his former team should be must see TV. Especially since Smith is playing some really good football with the Ravens. Friendly suggestion, if you have Steve Smith Sr. on your fantasy team you might want to play him this week.
PREDICTION: Ravens
Jaguars (0-3) @ Chargers (2-1)
Unfortunately, every week Jacksonville plays I'm going to predict a big win for the opposition. No difference this week, San Diego big in this one. Although I do like that Bortles will be the starter for the rest of the season.
PREDICTION: Chargers
Falcons (2-1) @ Vikings (1-2)
The Vikings have been all over the headlines but not because of football. Teddy Bridewater is now the guy after Matt Cassel went down with an injury. Atlanta destroyed Tampa 10 days ago, giving the Falcons extra time to prepare could be dangerous for Minnesota.
PREDICTION: Falcons
Eagles (3-0) @ 49ers (1-2)
San Francisco is in desperate need of a win after losing to the Cardinals last week. Philly has been a pleasant surprise to start the season. Philly however has had to overcome at least a 10 point deficit in every game, eventually that's going to catch up to them. SF can't afford to start 0-2 in their brand new stadium.
PREDICTION: 49ers
Saints (1-2) @ Cowboys (2-1)
New Orleans is better than their 1-2 record and I don't think Dallas is as good as their 2-1 record. I like to think that Drew Brees and the Saints offense will have a field day with Dallas' poor defense.
PREDICTION: Saints
Patriots (2-1) @ Chiefs (1-2)
So far it doesn't look like the same old Patriots despite the 2-1 start, and their struggles against Oakland last week raised some eyebrows. KC got a much needed win over Miami last week who have given New England its only loss this season, so because of that, why not I like KC at home on Monday night.
PREDICTION: Chiefs
Week 3 Record: 11-5
Overall Season Record: 29-19

NFL Week 3 Predictions
Well, last week was a rough one as far as predictions go. After a pretty strong 11-5 in week 1, last week was a very sub par 7-9. Just goes to show you that there probably isn't any tougher sport to predict than the National Football League. Ill try my best to rebound, hopefully any of you who read these don't bet, you could lose a lot of money.
Buccaneers (0-2) @ Falcons (1-1)
Its been a tough start for the Buccs to begin 2014, especially last weeks lost to a Rams team on their third string quarterback. Minor setback for the Falcons in week 2, this should be a get good week for them at home.
PREDICTION: Falcons
Chargers (1-1) @ Bills (2-0)
Both teams coming off impressive week 2 wins. Buffalo went to 2-0 after beating the Dolphins at home while San Diego figured out Seattle's vaunted defense. Buffalo may have the slight edge with San Diego traveling cross country. The Bills at 3-0??? That's what I'm predicting.
PREDICTION: Bills
Titans (1-1) @ Bengals (2-0)
The titans had the most head scratching week 2 games. Coming off a huge win in KC, they come home only to lose to what I feel is a mediocre Dallas squad. Cincy has had two nice wins to begin the season and may be the team to beat when it comes to the AFC North.
PREDICTION: Bengals
Ravens (1-1) @ Browns (1-1)
Baltimore had a nice win over Pittsburgh and the team, especially the offense looked totally different. Cleveland had maybe the shocker of week 2 sending the Saints to an 0-2 start. Cleveland will be pumped with Baltimore coming to town, but the extra rest should play in Baltimore's favor.
PREDICTION: Ravens
Cowboys (1-1) @ Rams (1-1)
Dallas had a nice rebound win in Tennessee last week that they desperately needed. I'm still not sure how St. Louis won, maybe the Buccs are worse than I thought. Cowboys should win easily, but then again it is the Cowboys.
PREDICTION: Cowboys
Packers (1-1) @ Lions (1-1)
Green Bay's offense woke up last week against the Jets and showed what they were capable of. Detroit disappointed last week after an impressive week 1 win over the Giants. Green Bay will start the show it's dominance over the NFC North.
PREDICTION: Packers
Colts (0-2) @ Jaguars (0-2)
Didn't really expect this to be a game of two 0-2 squads. The Colts have played pretty well in the first 2 games but are scoreless in the win column. Jacksonville is well Jacksonville and you wonder when they make the move to start Blake Bortles.
PREDICTION: Colts
Raiders (0-2) @ Patriots (1-1)
Not really much to say about this one. The only way I see New England losing is if somehow Tm Brady and Rob Gronkowski don't play. Even then it would be tough for Oakland to win.
PREDICTION: Patriots
Vikings (1-1) @ Saints (0-2)
A lot or turmoil swirling around the Minnesota Vikings this week, who know have made the decision not to play Adrian Peterson. That and the fact they are playing a team desperate for a win, could be a long day for the Vikings.
PREDICTION: Saints
Texans (2-0) @ Giants (0-2)
Well, I wont make the same mistake this week. I thought maybe the Giants would play a tad bit better at home but boy was I mistaken. Along side the Bills, Houston is a pleasant surprise to start the 2014 season.
PREDICTION: Texans
Redskins (1-1) @ Eagles (2-0)
The Kirk Cousins era has begun in Washington. And though I believe Cousins will do extremely well for the Redskins, the Eagles are playing great football right now, should be an entertaining game.
PREDICTION: Eagles
49ers (1-1) @ Cardinals (2-0)
Another surprising 2-0 squad in the Cardinals play hot to a division rival who's first game in their new stadium didn't end the way they had hoped. San Francisco is too good of a team to lose 2 in a row.
PREDICTION: 49ers
Broncos (2-0) @ Seahawks (1-1)
It's Super Bowl rematch time! Denver is 2-0 but I see flaws in their game, especially on defense. The Hawks are practically unbeatable at home, so unfortunately for Denver fans you wont get your revenge on this day.
PREDICTION: Seahawks
Chiefs (0-2) @ Dolphins (1-1)
Both teams are coming off week 2 losses. KC had Denver on the brink while Miami was handled by Buffalo. Kansas City needs this win if they want any chance at the playoffs, I feel they get it.
PREDICTION: Chiefs
Steelers (1-1) @ Panthers (2-0)
Plain and simple the Steelers looked bad last week in Baltimore. The defense looked old and the offense looked lost. The Panthers can win with Cam Newton and without him. Might be a long night for Steeler nation.
PREDICTION: Panthers
Bears (1-1) @ Jets (1-1)
Big props to the Bears for the huge win in San Francisco, The Jets are probably lucky they arent 0-2. Chicago wins this one big.
PREDICTION: Bears
Week 2 Record: 7-9
Overall Season Record: 18-14

NFL Week 2 Predictions
Week 1 was a pretty good week, I went 11-5 in my picks. It probably would've been better but with the typical first week upsets, its hard to pick the NFL anymore, but it sure is fun. No more time to waste week 2 starts tonight lets get to it.
Steelers (1-0) @ Ravens (0-1)
The Ravens have had a tough week, not only losing to Cincinnati but the growing investigation into the Ray Rice scandal. This may be a homer pick but I feel the Ravens have a strong performance tonight, because if they don't this season could start to spin out of control.
PREDICTION: Ravens
Falcons (1-0) @ Bengals (1-0)
Both of these teams had impressive week 1 wins over division opponents. Only thing that worries me about Cincy was their lack of producing touchdowns. Matt Ryan wont throw for over 400 yards again, but I don't think he'll need to.
PREDICTION: Falcons
Dolphins (1-0) @ Bills (1-0)
Another match up of surprising week 1 winners. Miami shutout Brady and the Pats in the second half and Buffalo beat a talented Bears squad. This could be a sleeper pick for potential game of the week.
PREDICTION: Bills
Saints (0-1) @ Browns (0-1)
Cleveland showed a ton of fight last week in Pittsburgh, but still came up with the loss. New Orleans weren't able to out shoot Atlanta in their high scoring affair. I find it hard to believe that New Orleans could drop to 0-2 on the season.
PREDICTION: Saints
Cowboys (0-1) @ Titans (1-0)
Week 1 was tough for the Cowboys, their stadium was taken over by 49er fans and Tony Romo threw 3 interceptions. The Titans however looked very good in a first week upset over Kansas City. Could be another long season for Cowboy fans.
PREDICTION: Titans
Lions (1-0) @ Panthers (1-0)
Detroit had an impressive, dominating performance against the Giants on Monday. Carolina also got a win and Cam Newton should be ready to suit up on Sunday, good for the Panthers but you got to believe he'll be a tad bit rusty.
PREDICTION: Lions
Patriots (0-1) @ Vikings (1-0)
I don't hang a lot on Minnesota's win over St. Louis in week 1, they are a dumpster fire right now. New England had a rare week 1 loss, kind of like New Orleans, I can't fathom a legitimate Super Bowl contender dropping to 0-2.
PREDICTION: Patriots
Cardinals (1-0) @ Giants (0-1)
This might be my craziest pick of the week. The Giants looked awful in week 1, Eli Manning only completed about 50% of his passes and threw 2 picks. No reason to think they can rebound but maybe the home crowd throws some much needed energy their way.
PREDICTION: Giants
Jaguars (0-1) @ Redskins (0-1)
I have to give kudos to the Jags, they took a big lead on Philly and had them on the ropes for most of the game in week 1. Washington looked bad, RGIII needs to start playing better because if he throws up another stinker against the Jags, trouble will be a brewing.
PREDICTION: Redskins
Rams (0-1) @ Buccaneers (0-1)
Not much to build on with either of these teams after week 1. St. Louis will continue to struggle with no answer at QB. Tampa should be better and with this game at home, definitely have to give the edge to them.
PREDICTION: Buccaneers
Seahawks (1-0) @ Chargers (0-1)
Seattle looked like they were ready to successfully defend their Super Bowl championship with the opening nigh demolition of Green Bay. Things probably wont end well for San Diego here but I guess anything is possible.
PREDICTION: Seahawks
Chiefs (0-1) @ Broncos (1-0)
Not a good week for Kansas City to try and get their first win of 2014. Jamaal Charles was a complete non factor in their week 1 loss. That can't happen again if they want any chance of beating Denver.
PREDICTION: Broncos
Jets (1-0) @ Packers (0-1)
Yes, the Jets won their opener but it was a very sloppy performance and it was against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Last week for the Packers was just a minor speed bump in their season, we see the typical Aaron Rodgers this week.
PREDICTION: Packers
Texans (1-0) @ Raiders (0-1)
Tough break for the Texans to not have Clowney for the next month or so, even worse that he blamed his injury on the NRG Stadium turf. I liked what I saw from Derek Carr in week 1 but it will still be a season's worth of growing pains for him and the Raiders.
PREDICTION: Texans
Bears (0-1) @ 49ers (1-0)
San Francisco opens it's new stadium coming off an impressive win at "Jerry's World" last week. Chicago might be one of the most disappointing teams from week 1. Too much emotion in the stands for this nationally televised game for Chicago to overcome.
PREDICTION: 49ers
Eagles (1-0) @ Colts (0-1)
Both teams mounted huge comebacks in their week 1 battles. One succeeded, and one did not. Indianapolis is a dark horse pick for a Super Bowl this season, that pick could take a huge hit with an 0-2 start.
PREDICTION: Colts
Week 1 Record: 11-5
Season Record: 11-5

NFL Week 1 Predictions
It's that time again the NFL season is finally here. And like every other season before that predictions need to be made. So I'm not going to waste anymore time, here is how I think Week 1 will pan out.
Packers @ Seahawks
The Thursday night game gives a potential NFC Championship game preview. I have high hopes for both of these teams but tonight is Seattle's night. I expect a high scoring entertaining game but one that sees the defending champs edge the Packers.
PREDICTION: Seahawks
Saints @ Falcons
Unfortunately for Saints fans most of the pre season was spent on whether or not Jimmy Graham is a WR or a TE, and it sort of took away from how good this team really is. Atlanta looks to have a bounce back season and should with Jones and White both healthy. However the Saints are the class of this division and should win this game, perhaps by double digits.
PREDICTION: Saints
Bills @ Bears
The Chicago Bears have the potential to be one of the most explosive offenses in all of football. It will however like it always does rest on the arm of Jay Cutler, which isn't a sure thing. Not much going on in Buffalo, although if Sammy Watkins can stay healthy, he's my early choice for offensive rookie of the year.
PREDICTION: Bears
Bengals @ Ravens
This might be one of the tougher games to pick for me. The Ravens new look offense might take a couple weeks to gel, and with no Ray Rice for the first two games no way to predict what they get out of their running game. The Bengals right now are the better team but they haven't won in Baltimore since 2009. It pains me to say but I think the Bengals take this in a close one, FG or less.
PREDICTION: Bengals
Browns @ Steelers
I cant help but think that the only thing Browns fans care about is how quickly Johnny Manziel takes over the starting job from Brian Hoyer. Luckily for the Browns this game is on the road because even the slightest mistakes and the Cleveland faithful would turn quick on Mr Hoyer.
PREDICTION: Steelers
Titans @ Chiefs
It will be interesting to see if the Chiefs can build on their 11-5 mark of a year ago. They just signed Alex Smith to an extension and Jamaal Charles is a top 5 running back in the NFL. With having one of the best home field advantages in football on their side, cant say I expect much of a fight from Tennessee.
PREDICTION: Chiefs
Raiders @ Jets
Cant imagine even the fans of these two teams want to watch this game. I guess there is one intriguing aspect, two very young QBs. Geno Smith beat out Michael Vick for the Jets, and for once Oakland made the right move in going with Derek Carr. Honestly, whoever the home team was in this game that's who I was going with.
PREDICTION: Jets
Vikings @ Rams
Another game that brings lackluster interest, well at least to me it does. Shaun Hill will quarterback the Rams after another injury to Sam Bradford. Matt Cassell on the other side isn't much better but if Adrian Peterson is ready to go it might be a long day for the Rams.
PREDICTION: Vikings
Patriots @ Dolphins
As much as it pains me to say I really don't see anyone in the AFC East, really putting a scare into the New England Patriots. Rob Gronkowski said he's good to go for the opener, might not be much of a factor in week 1 but it should be enough.
PREDICTION: Patriots
Jaguars @ Eagles
This game has the potential to be the blowout of the week. The Eagles look to repeat as NFC East champs while Jacksonville just cant seem to get out of its own way. Why Blake Bortles isn't starting Week 1 is a complete mystery to me. Good luck with Chad Henne.
PREDICTION: Eagles
Redskins @ Texans
If you are a Redskins fan you are probably going to be holding your breath this entire game. JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney chasing RGIII all day. I still like the Redskins in this match up but it wont be easy or pretty.
PREDICTION: Redskins
49ers @ Cowboys
This game should be fun. The Niners are favorites once again to compete for a Super Bowl. The Cowboys offense is always fun to watch and with some key pieces missing from the 49ers D, the Cowboys should be able to put some points up. Unfortunately I don't see them stopping San Francisco too often.
PREDICTION: 49ers
Panthers @ Buccaneers
Cam Newton lost so much of his help this past off season. I guess there is one good thing that will come out of this, we'll be able to see just how good Newton is. Tampa will be better and Mike Evans could potentially have a good year.
PREDICTION: Panthers
Colts @ Broncos
The road to redemption starts for the Denver Broncos. Although they did suffer a blow not having Wes Welker for the first 4 games, Peyton will be Peyton. The Colts have a really good team but they will struggle in the tough week 1 match up.
PREDICTION: Broncos
Giants @ Lions
Im setting the over/under for interceptions in this game at 10. Two of the most turnover prone QBs in the league take center stage on Monday night. If nothing else it should be really entertaining.
PREDICTION: Lions
Chargers @ Cardinals
Week 1 ends with a pretty intriguing game of two teams looking to take the next step. Carson Palmer and Phillip Rivers had bounce back type seasons in 2013. I feel the Cardinals take this one at home, but it could be a good year for both teams.
PREDICTIONS: Cardinals
Well that's it for my week 1 predictions, you can follow me on the twitter @AndySnaks and Happy Opening Week!!
Packers @ Seahawks
The Thursday night game gives a potential NFC Championship game preview. I have high hopes for both of these teams but tonight is Seattle's night. I expect a high scoring entertaining game but one that sees the defending champs edge the Packers.
PREDICTION: Seahawks
Saints @ Falcons

Vikings @ Rams
Another game that brings lackluster interest, well at least to me it does. Shaun Hill will quarterback the Rams after another injury to Sam Bradford. Matt Cassell on the other side isn't much better but if Adrian Peterson is ready to go it might be a long day for the Rams.
PREDICTION: Vikings
Patriots @ Dolphins
As much as it pains me to say I really don't see anyone in the AFC East, really putting a scare into the New England Patriots. Rob Gronkowski said he's good to go for the opener, might not be much of a factor in week 1 but it should be enough.
PREDICTION: Patriots
Jaguars @ Eagles
This game has the potential to be the blowout of the week. The Eagles look to repeat as NFC East champs while Jacksonville just cant seem to get out of its own way. Why Blake Bortles isn't starting Week 1 is a complete mystery to me. Good luck with Chad Henne.
PREDICTION: Eagles
Redskins @ Texans
If you are a Redskins fan you are probably going to be holding your breath this entire game. JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney chasing RGIII all day. I still like the Redskins in this match up but it wont be easy or pretty.
PREDICTION: Redskins
49ers @ Cowboys
This game should be fun. The Niners are favorites once again to compete for a Super Bowl. The Cowboys offense is always fun to watch and with some key pieces missing from the 49ers D, the Cowboys should be able to put some points up. Unfortunately I don't see them stopping San Francisco too often.
PREDICTION: 49ers
Panthers @ Buccaneers
Cam Newton lost so much of his help this past off season. I guess there is one good thing that will come out of this, we'll be able to see just how good Newton is. Tampa will be better and Mike Evans could potentially have a good year.
PREDICTION: Panthers
Colts @ Broncos
The road to redemption starts for the Denver Broncos. Although they did suffer a blow not having Wes Welker for the first 4 games, Peyton will be Peyton. The Colts have a really good team but they will struggle in the tough week 1 match up.
PREDICTION: Broncos
Giants @ Lions
Im setting the over/under for interceptions in this game at 10. Two of the most turnover prone QBs in the league take center stage on Monday night. If nothing else it should be really entertaining.
PREDICTION: Lions
Chargers @ Cardinals
Week 1 ends with a pretty intriguing game of two teams looking to take the next step. Carson Palmer and Phillip Rivers had bounce back type seasons in 2013. I feel the Cardinals take this one at home, but it could be a good year for both teams.
PREDICTIONS: Cardinals
Well that's it for my week 1 predictions, you can follow me on the twitter @AndySnaks and Happy Opening Week!!

Wild Card Weekend Predictions
So after a long and at times strange regular season the playoffs are finally here. Which in Baltimore is partly good and partly bad. Good because the Ravens will host a playoff game for the first time in 5 years, bad because the football season is almost over and that means the Orioles are peeking their heads around the corner. But enough of the birds time to make some predictions for what should be an exciting wild card weekend.#6 Cincinnati Bengals (9-7) @ #3 Houston Texans (10-6)
Out of all the games this is the less intriguing to me, good thing its first so we can get it out of the way. The Bengals season came out of nowhere, most had them finishing last in the AFC North. The rookie combination of Dalton and Green made for some exciting plays in Cincy. The one thing that worries me about the Bengals, they are 1-7 against teams with winning records. Houston might have been the number one seed without the injuries. Jake Delhomme had to make an emergency appearance in week 17. Arian Foster has to be licking his chops after Ray Rice ran for 191 a week ago. Houston should be rocking and lets not forget a T.J. Yates led Texans went into Cincinnati and beat the Bengals earlier this year, it should happen again.
PREDICTION: TEXANS 20-14
#6 Detroit Lions @ #3 New Orleans Saints
Amazing that in the same day we have games with two totally different levels of interest. By the time this game is over it might remind you of a game of Madden you would play with your friends. This game marks the first time two 5,000 yard passers will play against each other in the postseason. Every part of me want to pick the Lions but just last week the Lions let Matt Flynn throw for over 500 yards, in a game you needed to win to have better playoff seeding. So if Flynn can do it, what do you think Drew Brees can do. That being said New Orleans is not known for their defense. Saints win in a shootout.
PREDICTION: SAINTS 40-37
#5 Atlanta Falcons (10-6) @ #4 New York Giants (9-7)
The Giants had to win its last two games just to get into the postseason as the NFC East champs. The Giants might be one of the most head-scratching teams in the postseason. This is the same team that went into New England and beat the Pats, but also lost at home to the Seahawks. One thing that has been overlooked is the tremendous season Eli Manning has had. The Falcons come into the game trying to shake off numerous years of disappointment when it comes to the postseason. Last year the Falcons went 13-3 and were one and done. Matt Ryan needs to start winning playoff games if he wants to be in the same group as the elite, he at least gets one this postseason. I just don't trust the up and down Giants who by the way are just 4-4 at home this year.
PREDICTION: FALCONS 27-21
#5 Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) @ #4 Denver Broncos (8-8)
This might be the most watched out of all the playoff games this weekend. People want to see if somehow Tebow can do the unthinkable, well in my opinion he cant. Tebow the last three weeks has a 41 percent completion percentage, 1 TD and 4 INTs. In other words Tebow picked the worst time to play his worst football. Also rumors that Brady Quinn is taking snaps with the first team doesn't bode well for Tebow. Pittsburgh is really, really banged up. Numerous star players are either not playing or coming into the game with some kind of injury. Pittsburgh will lose this game if they make mistakes and makes a lot of them. Avoid the mistakes and they will be playing next week.
PREDICTION: STEELERS 17-6
In the words of a player not in the Playoffs....."CANT WAIT!!!"

2011 NFL WEEK 2 PREDICTIONS
One week is in the books and i had a decent week of predicting going 10-6. Some games I didn't see coming especially Buffalo's slaughter of Kansas City, but that's what makes football exciting. No need to look at the past anymore, on to week 2.
Raiders (1-0) @ Bills (1-0)
I know its only week 2 but didn't think this would be a match up of 1-0 teams. Oakland continued its dominance over the AFC West (6-0 last year, 1-0 this year) and Janikowski landed in the record books with his 63 yard FG. Buffalo had maybe the most surprising game of week 1, a 41-7 whooping of the Chiefs. Can't believe I'm saying this but Buffalo will be 2-0.
PREDICTION: BILLS
Chiefs (0-1) @ Lions (1-0)
KC as mentioned earlier really cant do much worse that last week, losing at home the way they did. Detroit seemed to be the sexy pick to make some noise this year. In week 1 they didn't disappoint by beating the 10 win Buccs in Tampa. Wow first the Bills now I'm picking the Lions to be 2-0, i must be in the twilight zone.
PREDICTION: LIONS
Ravens (1-0) @ Titans (0-1)
On paper this looks like a mismatch, Baltimore destroyed Pittsburgh and Tennessee couldn't beat a team with Luke McCown as their QB. The Ravens have to avoid a huge letdown here, but under John Harbaugh the Ravens are 18-1 against losing teams. Expect that record to get better.
PREDICTION: RAVENS
Browns (0-1) @ Colts (0-1)
Not to any ones surprise the Colts looked lost without Manning under center and its going to be a long year in Indy. The Browns had a lot of hype surrounding them and they let Bruce Gradkowski and the Bengals beat them at home. That being said I think Peyton Hillis has a huge day against the poor Colt run defense.
PREDICTION: BROWNS
Buccaneers (0-1) @ Vikings (0-1)
This is one of the most interesting games of the week in my opinion. Tampa lost a close game to Detroit at home and Minnesota despite only having 39 yards passing only lost to San Diego by 7. McNabb wont have another day like that but i still like Tampa in a mild upset on the road.
PREDICTION: BUCCANEERS
Bears (1-0) @ Saints (0-1)
Chicago will be playing with heavy hearts after the death of Brian Urlacher's mother. Its hard to say how well he will play but maybe it will help him heal. As for the Saints they are 0-1 but Brees had over 400 yards passing in week 1. Hard to go against the Saints at home.
PREDICTION: SAINTS
Jaguars (1-0) @ Jets (1-0)
Congrats to the Jags for that nice win over Tennessee in week 1, but now they head to New York. Still not a believer in the Jets especially with Sanchez under center, but this should be an easy win at home.
PREDICTION: JETS
Seahawks (0-1) @ Steelers (0-1)
If there is one team i don't want to be this week its the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh was embarrassed by their most hated rival in week 1 and you could imagine how they are itching to get back on the field. This is going to get ugly fast.
PREDICTION: STEELERS
Cardinals (1-0) @ Redskins (1-0)
Rex Grossman played surprisingly well against the Giants, but if i were a skins fan i would have an uneasy feeling that the old Rex Grossman will eventually rear its ugly head. Arizona did win last week but gave up over 400 yard to a rookie QB, and they also don't play well on the east coast.
PREDICTION: REDSKINS
Packers (1-0) @ Panthers (0-1)
Speaking of that rookie QB, Cam Newton will make his home debut against the defending champs. Personally I think the Newton craze is a little premature, it was only one game. I don't expect him to have the same type of performance. Also Aaron Rodgers getting a few more days to prepare doesn't bode well for Carolina.
PREDICTION: PACKERS
Cowboys (0-1) @ 49ers (1-0)
Coach Harbaugh won his debut but if it wasn't for two Ginn returns for TDs, Seattle could've won. Dallas is on the other end they should have won against the Jets. Tony Romo continues to make mistakes when it matters most, that being said I think he gets the job done in San Fran.
PREDICTION: COWBOYS
Bengals (1-0) @ Broncos (0-1)
Will somebody please tell the Denver fans to shut up when it comes to Tebow, he is not a good quarterback. As for Cincinnati, nice win for them against Cleveland but still don't expect much for them this year. Denver wins and Orton will throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs, at least I hope so.
PREDICTIONS: BRONCOS
Texans (1-0) @ Dolphins (0-1)
Houston did exactly what they should have in week 1, destroy a Manning-less Colts. Miami was shredded by Tom Brady on national television. Brady was so good it was almost an afterthought that Henne threw for over 400 himself, and could do it again against Houston secondary. However the thought of Miami trying to defend Andre Johnson probably wont end well.
PREDICTION: TEXANS
Chargers (1-0) @ Patriots (1-0)
This is the game of the week in my opinion. Most would probably pick New England after what Brady did against Miami. However, San Diego's defense is much better than Miami and if New England lets Henne throw on them like he did, what do you think Rivers will do? In a little bit of an upset i like San Diego here.
PREDICTION: CHARGERS
Eagles (1-0) @ Falcons (0-1)
The "Dream Team" made a triumphant debut in St. Louis, although might have been closer if both Steven Jackson and Sam Bradford didn't get hurt. Atlanta looked bad, I mean real bad in Chicago. This is another game I'm going against the grain with. Vick is returning to Atlanta but the Falcons have been great in the dome under Mike Smith, Atlanta in a close one.
PREDICTION: FALCONS
Rams (0-1) @ Giants (0-1)
Talk about your walking wounded, both teams are going through terrible injury problems. The Rams injuries might be a tad bit worse especially since its their QB and RB who are in question. Probably not going to be a pretty game but they all count the same way.
PREDICTION: GIANTS
There you have it for Week number 2, lets see if I can improve on my 10-6 mark from week 1.

2011 NFL WEEK 1 PREDICTIONS
FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!! Especially for people in Baltimore this is glorious. No need to talk anymore about it lets get into the predicting.
Saints @ Packers
An awesome way to start the season with the last 2 super bowl champions. This game may also be a preview for this years NFC Championship game. Neither team went crazy in the off season as in free agent pick ups, but they didn't have to. I give the slight edge to the Packers just for opening the season at home.

PREDICTION: PACKERS
Falcons @ Bears
Chicago fans don't want to remember how last season ended and I'm sure Jay Cutler wants to erase the stigma of him quiting on his team. Unfortunately for da Bears they open against another team who should compete for the NFC Title. I love the draft pick Julio Jones from Alabama for Atlanta, but their defense still has question marks. Still they should have enough to pull this one out on the road.
PREDICTION: FALCONS
Bills @ Chiefs
This game might be one of the few that you couldn't pay me to watch. Buffalo is not very good and the Chiefs will be without their starting QB Matt Cassel. Even with Cassel on the bench the Chiefs are just a much better team, don't like the Bills chances here.

PREDICTION: CHIEFS
Steelers @ Ravens
This is the game of the week and while id rather watch this game more towards the end of the season it doesn't make any less anticipated. The Ravens added many new members that quite frankly we just don't know how they will perform. The Steeelers are well the Steelers, this game should be like any other between the two. The Ravens need this more than Pittsburgh.
PREDICTION: RAVENS
Bengals @ Browns
I know it was only preseason but Colt McCoy looked really good and might be the long term solution at QB for Cleveland. Ill be interested to see what Peyton Hillis does this year after his breakout 2010. Cincinnati is in for a long season, Palmer retired, Ocho Cinco is in New England, Jonathan Joseph is in Houston, in other words a lot of key parts are gone. Cleveland should roll in this one.
PREDICTION: BROWNS
Eagles @ Rams
So here it is the debut of the DREAM TEAM!!! Actually i could care less but if i were the Eagles id get off to a strong start after all the preseason hype. For St. Louis they were unable to win a division last year where the winner went 7-9, however Sam Bradford looks to be the real deal. St. Louis should win the west but week 1 will be a struggle.
PREDICTION: EAGLES
Lions @ Buccaneers
Tampa is coming off a surprising 10 win season of a year ago. Quarterback Josh Freeman is quickly becoming one of the best young guns in the game. Detroit is an interesting team as to most they are a sleeper, i like them to as long as their QB stays healthy. A healthy Stafford, Calvin Johnson and the defensive duo of Suh and Fairley, Detroit can definitely turn some head in 2011.
PREDICTION: LIONS
Titans @ Jaguars
Neither of these two teams excite me and they should be among the also rans in the AFC. I was leaning towards Jacksonville then they decided to cut David Garrard. No offense but if your QB is Luke McCown you're not going to win many football games.
PREDICTION: TITANS
Colts @ Texans
This week the headline that has dominated has been Peyton Manning not being able to make the start in week 1. I don't think I'm alone in saying that the Colts are a much different team without number 18. If Houston does not take advantage of this they might never win this division while Manning is still in the league.
PREDICTION: TEXANS
Panthers @ Cardinals
This is the game of debuts, Cam Newton's as an NFL player and Kevin Kolb's for a new team. For that reason it makes this game interesting, other than that maybe seeing Todd Heap in a Cardinals jersey, but that will be more weird that interesting.
PREDICTION: CARDINALS
Vikings @ Chargers
Another debut in this one, Donovan McNabb will be wearing purple for the first time in his career. Having Peterson in his backfield will help him transition into the Vikings. As for San Diego lot of love for this team and i just don't see it maybe I'm blind. I like San Diego in this game but wouldn't be surprised if Minnesota won.

PREDICTION: CHARGERS
Seahawks @ 49ers
Do you like awful quarterbacks? Do like watching this game being performed at a sub-par level? Well then this is the game for you. Tavaris Jackson vs. Alex Smith, enough said.
PREDICTION: 49ERS
Giants @ Redskins
This is another game in my opinion that wont be much of one. The Redskins decided to go with Rex Grossman as their QB, which i don't understand but that's why i don't coach i suppose. New York has lost some pieces but i still like their makeup, Giants big in this one.
PREDICTION: GIANTS
Cowboys @ Jets
Two of the most annoying people in the NFL will be in this game, and neither one will be wearing a helmet. Rob Ryan vs. Rex Ryan, both do nothing but talk and it bothers me. As for the game the Jets should once again be in the running for an AFC Title, the Cowboys could make a huge statement if they can pull off the upset.
PREDICTION: JETS
Patriots @ Dolphins
Who decided this would be a good way to open the Monday night schedule. Miami fans were chanting for a guy who wasn't on the trade block, and Reggie Bush is their number 1 back. New England was putting up 50 points in the preseason, going to be a long night for the Dolphins.
PREDICTION: PATRIOTS
Raiders @ Broncos
There was more talk in Denver about Tim Tebow being the starter than anything else. Lets just say Orton is the right choice. I like Oakland but with no Nnamdi Denver should have a field day with the Raiders secondary.
PREDICTION: BRONCOS
So thats it for Week 1 and again thank god for football being back.
