2007 NFL Week 2
Sunday September 16, 2007
Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
Eddie – BENGALS
The Bengals offense didn’t look good last week but that was against last year’s top defense. Just imagine what they will do to the Browns.
Fred – BENGALS
Yet another beat down…the team, who just trading their starting QB after the 1st week of the season, gets crushed by the Bengals
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans
Eddie – COLTS
Last year the Titans beat the Colts in Tennessee. Don’t expect that to happen this year.
Fred – COLTS
Vince Young does win games, but not against the team that just made the Saints look like a JV team.
San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams
Eddie – RAMS
I expected more from both teams in Week 1. Now I’m not sure what to expect. I like the RAMS at home to bounce back from a disappointing loss against the Panthers.
Fred – RAMS
This is the toughest pick this week. Both offenses should put up plenty of points, but since the Niners poor blitzing probably won’t exploit the Rams O-Line, St. Louis puts up more.
Green Bay Packers at New York Giants
Eddie – PACKERS
With Eli and Jacobs out how can one not pick Green Bay?
Fred – PACKERS
Upset #1! Green Bay takes advantage of a hurt Giants team.
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eddie – SAINTS
The high powered Saints offense will arrive in Tampa Bay and bring forth a win for you.
Fred – SAINTS
Just like Jacksonville, New Orleans vents their frustrations from last weeks loss and shows they’re one of the best team’s in the NFC, and demolishes the Bucs.
Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars
Eddie – JAGUARS
Both teams looked horrible but I have ZERO confidence in Joey Harrington.
Fred – JAGUARS
Jacksonville vents out its frustration from losing last week’s game against Tennessee. They win, and rack up a ton of rushing yards against the Falcons.
Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers
Eddie – STEELERS
This will be a closer game than many think but Big Ben and Fast Willie Parker gets it done.
Fred – STEELERS
1st home game for Pittsburgh. With Mike Tomlin’s home debut, they crush the Bills.
Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers
Eddie – PANTHERS
Both teams looked legit last Sunday but which one was real? Panthers prove they are going to contend this year. Mark them down for the “W”.
Fred – PANTHERS
Panthers barely win, and it’s only because of the home field advantage
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Eddie – SEAHAWKS
Branch will be more involved as S.A. runs over the Cardinals as Arizona starts the season 0-2.
Fred – SEAHAWKS
It’s the 2nd most difficult one to call this week. Both passing games click and the Seahawks win the high scoring affair.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions
Eddie – VIKINGS
The running backs of Minnesota versus the wide receivers of the Lions. What a match up this shall be. I like the defense of the Vikings so I’m going with them for the win.
Fred – VIKINGS
Upset #2! The Vikings defense and rushing offense is for real. They beat the Lions in a close one.
Dallas Cowboys at Miami Dolphins
Eddie – COWBOYS
Romo and Co. looked too good as the Dolphins can’t even put a consistent running game together.
Fred – DOLPHINS
Upset special!!! And it’s Upset #3. Miami’s defense gives the Cowboys a reality check, and Miami eeks out the victory.
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos
Eddie – BRONCOS
The Raiders always plays the Broncos tough so something inside me really wants to pick Denver but the Broncos finally have their workhorse running back in Henry and two established wide outs. Denver is the better team and they are at home.
Fred – BRONCOS
With either Culpepper or an injured McCown at QB, the Broncos take advantage of it and get the W.
Kansas City Chiefs at Chicago Bears
Eddie – BEARS
The Bears will be hungry for a win as they lost a difficult game against San Diego last week. The Chiefs will play dead as they try not to get eaten by the Bears.
Fred – BEARS
Da Bears win against the team with the worst coach in the NFL, and have a 1-1 record.
New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens
Eddie – RAVENS
Even a banged up Ravens defense will have no problem man-handling the Jets.
Fred – RAVENS
Possibly no McNair and No Pennington…hmmmm. Boller is and will always be a bum. But, with one of best defenses in the league, the Ravens get the home win.
San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots
Eddie - CHARGERS
The Patriots won’t be stealing defensive plays this game so they won’t have an answer for LT and Gates.
Fred – CHARGERS
Upset #4! Patriots aren’t able to prepare for this game like they have previous games, so the Chargers come into town and pull out the win.
Monday September 17, 2007
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles
Eddie – EAGLES
Eagles are tough at home and the Redskins look horrible once again this year.
Fred – EAGLES
Skins barely won last week. The Eagles barely lost last week. The Eagles, the 2nd best team in the NFC East, lights up the scoreboard against the Skins and gets the W.
Week 2 Survivor Pick - BEARS
