Week 2 NFL

YesSir

Brian Windhorst
SEASON 15-11

Cincinatti PK LOSS
I like Cincinatti a lot this year. Their showing in week 1 did not exactly help me with these thoughts. All in all I was impressed with their defense. I do not really see Carson Palmer going for less that 100 yards again. It was amazing that TJ and Ocho Cinco did not catch a ball till the third quarter (?I think)... There is a lot going on in Tennessee now...Will VY be around? Though I do think VY out would be an upgrade for the Titans, I do not think it would benefit for this quick. I think Tennessee will struggle to score points in this game.

New Orleans -1 LOSS
Like the Bengals, I expect the Saints to have a successful season. Like others, I think they can be a factor in the NFC playoffs. Their offense will be godly if Colston is healthy and the continue using Colston. Thoough I am not comfortable with Bush as the every down back, he does have that other dimention. I want to see more Pierre Thomas up the middle and more Bush to the outside. I also would not mind seeing them on the field together. I expect Drew Brees to have a HUGE game on this Washington defense that look bad early against NYG. They did settle in but I think NO has too many weapons for them.

Buffalo +5.5 WIN
Also, like the aforementioned teams, the Bills are one of my favorite teams this year. I think they compete throughout this game.

Chicago +3.5 (120) WIN
looked good in week one, I think they win this SU

Arizona -6 WIN

New England +1.5 WIN


INDY -2 WIN
It was great to see my Bears get a big win in week 1 against this Colts team. Peyton Manning really struggled against a tough Bear pass rush. He seemed to be a little rusty and also a little hurried. Couple that with a few dropped balls and it leads to a stagnent offense. I really think that Addai needs to start being more of a factor for them to be successful. After being shocked on national TV in their opening of a new stadium, I expect them to come out better. Also, the news of Tom Brady being out for the season and the Chargers stumbling should give them a little boost. Potential problems with the Colts is that the Bears showed teams how to beat the Colts offensively. Lovie Smith's team came in with a great gameplan to cancel out the Colts team speed. The Bears ran Matt Forte right at the Colts. He did not zig zag, he just went North and South. I think ADP could have a HUGE game this week. Will he have enough to keep up with a better Colts offense? Also, Minnesota's pass rush/defense really did not look that improved.

San Francisco +7.5 WIN
Seattle looked VERY BAD last week- now they are giving a TD to the niners? I know the Seattle backers will tell you the reason that they got blown out was because "they always struggle on the road". Yes that is true but how good is this Seahawk team anymore? Without Alexander, Julius Jones proved once again that he cannot carry the load at RB. The Seahawks are a different team at home BUT I am just wondering if they are getting too old. A positive not for the Hawks is that 21 of the Bills points came off of Special Teams. I say that is a positive because the defense did not give up all of the points. The problem I have with this Seahawk team is their lack of a weapon on offense. Hassleback is a solid tier 2/3 QB but he does not have anyone to throw the ball too. Burleson is out for the season, and Branch and Engram will not play. Without these weapons, the Niners could load the box. By stacking the box, it will make it difficult for Jones and Morris. Also, it will be interesting to see if RT Sean Locklear will play. Mo Morris is also on the injury report, listed as questionable (as of Wednesday). Anyone have an update on his status?

I expect an improvent from JT O Sullivan as he had 3 TOs a week ago. The team commited 5! I see this being a low scoring game. Frank Gore looked back to form against San Fran. In 06' Gore had a 200+ game and 100+ game against Seattle.

Tampa Bay -6.5 WIN

Cleveland +7 Hook WIN

I liked this game a lot all week...I think Cleveland will be solid in this game. I will take a TD dog, in a rivalry game, with sloppy conditions all day...

Eagles +7.5 (120)
I have liked this all week and finally just played it. I also like the over. I am not sure why there are a lot of UNDER players.

Eagles +13 OVER 40

OVER 46.5 Eagles/Boys
BOL all:cheers:
