It's halfway through the season and I am finally starting my predictions. I am open to some challenges if anyone is interested.
Oakland @ Baltimore - Baltimore (Joe Flacco throws for 2 TD's and rushes for 1 more.)
Tampa @ Dallas - Tampa (Brad Johnson tosses 2 maybe 3 picks against Tampa's cover 2.)
Buffalo @ Miami - Buffalo (This game will be closer than people think. Buffalo by 5.)
San Digeo @ New Orleans - San Diego (NFL leading passer Drew Brees goes cold today against SD's defense.)
Atlanta @ Philadelphia - Philadelphia (Donovan McNabb looks impressive in a game that wont even be close.)
Cleveland @ Jacksonville - Jacksonville (Derek Anderson looks to be back on track, but not quite enough.)
Seattle @ San Francisco - San Francisco (Without Matt Hasselbeck, or even with him, Seattle has a long season ahead of them. Goodbye Mike Holmgren.)
Arizona @ Carolina - Carolina (Jonathan Stewart and Mushin Muhammad torch the Card's defense.)
Washington @ Detroit - Washington (Sorry, but Detroit just doesnt have an answer for Campbell's poise so far this year.)
St. Lous @ New England - New England (Matt Cassel looked like he learned from Tom Brady last week. St. Louis is attempting to turn around the dreadful start, but it wont go well this week.)
Kansas City @ NY Jets - NY Jets (Thomas Jones has a big week and the Chiefs are without L.J.)
Cincinatti @ Houston - Houston (Cincy looked "decent" last week, until the 4th quarter that is. But it wont be enough. The Texans get thier first ever win over the Bengals on Sunday.)
NY Giants @ Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh (It wont be the first time this year that Big Ben has seen a pass rush this potent. Without Santonio Holmes, look for strong games from Nate Washington and Heath Miller.)
No Sunday Night Football game this week. Go Tampa Rays!
MNF
Indianapolis @ Tennessee - Indianapolis (Tennessee's unbeaten streak ends on Monday. Peyton Manning rebounds from a horrible performance @ GB last week. However, for fantasy implications - expect a big game on the ground from the Titans' Chris Johnson and LenDale White.)
Go Steelers!
Comments
Here's where I disagree with you:
Atlanta @ Philadelphia: The Eagles are fake. They came out looking hot, then promptly cooled. Yeah, maybe I'm out for some revenge after the Eagles kicked the Steelers' butts, but I think Matt Ryan has more fire in him than McNabb. The Eagles wins came against the 49ers, the Rams and, yes, the Steelers; the Falcons have beaten the Bears and Packers as well as the lowly Lions and Chiefs. Close, but I'm with the black and red this time.
Indianapolis @ Tennessee: Are you out of your mind? Peyton Manning hit his peak and is now on the downslope. Indy hasn't been streaky so much as completely unreliable this year. The Titans' D has allowed three TD passes all year -- that's it, three. The Myth of Manning ends here as the Titans take uncontested control of the AFC South for the season, and Tennessee loads it up to a whopping 7-0.
Amazingly, I agree with you on everything else.
