Last weeks prediction went 10-6... guess I'm okay with that [.625].

Here's how I see week 2 going:

[b]OAK [1-0] @ KC [0-1]... I’ll take the Raiders[/b]
It would appear HB Matt Forte is the real deal... the 1st round selection surpassed 100 yards and scored a TD [avg 5.59 per carry]. I also believe QB Chad Pennington bounces back after a disappointing season last year. It's been a LONG time since the Chiefs were serious contenders... didn't see anything this offseason happen that makes me believe they'll be in the fight this season.

[b]GB [0-1] @ DET [0-1]... I’ll take the Packers[/b]
I'm a bigger believer in QB Jake Delhomme than QB Michael Vick... it's that simple for me in this game.

[b]TEN [1-0] @ CIN [1-0]... I’ll take the Bengals[/b]
Last week the Bengals saw LE Kalimba Edwards destroy QB Tyler Thigpen [3 sacks]... might not be that easy this week chasing VET QB Eli Manning - but I think he'll still be a force. Probably goes against logic, but I'm thinking Sorgi out duals Manning.

[b]CHI [0-1] @ CAR [0-1]... I’ll take the Bears[/b]
Offensively, I was expecting more from the Bears in week 1... I'm thinking QB Matt Hasselbeck and HB Cedric Cobbs are going to have a better showing against the Panthers. Both QB David Carr & HB Marshawn Lynch were STUDS in a losing effort last week - if the Panthers start both of them week 2 they might have a shot. I flipped a coin on this one!

[b]BUF [0-1] @ JAC [0-1]… I’ll take the Jaguars[/b]
It's this simple for me... Kitna > Booty.

[b]NO [1-0] @ WAS [0-1]… I’ll take the Saints[/b]
I have to go with the defending Champs... Washington Football Team have lost their identity.

[b]IND [1-0] @ MIN [1-0]… I’ll take the Colts[/b]
Is this the year QB Peyton Manning finally returns to the playoffs? I'm not convinced it is... but it's hard to bet against him this week.

[b]NYG [1-0] @ STL [0-1]… I’ll take the Rams[/b]
I watched the Rams out play my Eagles last week for 3 QTR's... this week they finish the deal and walk away with the WIN!

[b]SF [0-1] @ SEA [1-0]… I’ll take the Seahawks[/b]
I'm not sure what's wrong with QB Kyle Orton... but I can't put money on him until he turns his career around. Though this could be a season of transition for the Seahawks as they get QB Alex Smith and HB Jonathan Stewart up to speed - I think it's wise to take the Home team this week.

[b]ATL [1-0] @ TB [0-1]… I’ll take the Falcons[/b]
This one might get UGLY... Couch/Duckett/Calico/Gonzo, Falcons will be lighting it up!

[b]MIA [1-0] @ ARI [1-0]… I’ll take the Cardinals[/b]
There's a ot of hype for the Cardinal's after week 1 and scoring 50 points - everyone should calm down (Rex isn't the answer). Cardinals will win, only because QB Drew Stanton isn't ready

[b]NE [1-0] @ NYJ [0-1]… I’ll take the Jets[/b]
Bako < Kev

[b]BAL [0-1] @ HOU [1-0]… I’ll take the Texans[/b]
At some point QB Tyler Thigpen will be LEGIT... but that's a few seasons away.

[b]SD [1-0] @ DEN [0-1]… I’ll take the Broncos[/b]
Only taking the Broncos because of Will... sorry AC!

[b]PIT [0-1] @ CLE [1-0]… I’ll take the Browns[/b]
Loved the NIP PIC TC... you're a TRUE crazy man! Sorry Tim, it's gonna take some time for me to believe in you (after the Vince Young decision.

[b]PHI [1-0] @ DAL [0-1]… I’ll take the Eagles[/b]
I need the 4th QTR Eagles to show up for the whole game this week... never believed in McNabb why start now.
