Week 2 results

Green Bay 48, Detroit 25 (predicted: Green Bay 33, Detroit 17)- At least Detroit kept it interesting until late in the game. Ironically, the problem wasn't the defense this time. I guess Kitna didn't say his prayers before the game.

NYG 41, St. Louis 13 (predicted: NYG 30, St. Louis 21)- Are we ready to admit how bad the St. Louis Rams are? Everyone thought "Oh, well their offensive line is returning to health so they won't have as many problems as they did last year." Oops. I guess to be (a little) fair the Rams were within a score until the Giants shut the door in the fourth quarter.

New Orleans 24, Washington 29 (predicted: New Orleans 24, Washington 14)- So much for New Orleans being good. I love how Jeremy Shockey lost a key fumble. He's such a difference maker! Jason Campbell and Santana Moss had nice games, not sure how many times we're going to see that this season...

Buffalo 20, Jacksonville 16 (predicted: Buffalo 17, Jacksonville 24)- Looks like Jacksonville is only the best team to hide behind this season's "Well the Giants started 0-2 and won the Super Bowl!" excuse. Yeah, except the Giants actually scored points in their first two losses last year and were playing good teams.

Tennessee 24, Cincinnati 7 (predicted: Tennessee 20, Cincinnati 17)- This game is hilarious for a couple of reasons. 1) Kerry Collins is so much better than Vince Young. 2) Carson Palmer now has back-to-back Rex Grossman level games. 3) The Bengals are quite literally a paper tiger. They should be good, but they just aren't.

Oakland 23, KC 8 (predicted: Oakland 20, KC 21)- Good rushing game for Oakland, despite losing Fargas to injury. Fargas is a good running back, but now we've seen what Run DMC can do (against a crappy defense). Will Jamarcus Russell ever turn into something more than a handoff machine?

Indianapolis 18, Minnesota 15 (predicted: Indianapolis 31, Minnesota 27)- This was a fun game to watch, if only to see the Peyton Manning sad face for the entire game. Anthony Gonzalez' flip to Reggie Wayne was amazing. By the way- Gonzalez appears to be the real deal. He can make catches in traffic and has shown he has good hands. Marvin Harrison took a big hit and didn't fumble. Tarvaris Jackson is still horrible. AD had a huge game, as predicted. Mr. Glass aka Dallas Clark continues to annoy the crap out of me.

Chicago 17, Carolina 20 (predicted: Chicago 27, Carolina 20)- Way to blow a 2-score lead Chicago. Just shows that last week's upset was a fluke.

Atlanta 9, TB 24 (predicted Atlanta 17, TB 14)- The stupid Falcons tried to pass for some reason, and as expected Matt Ryan floundered against a competent defense. If they had handed off to Michael Turner (or let him QB) on every play, they would have won.

SF 33, Seattle 30 (predicted: SF 17, Seattle 20)- Seattle is looking pretty terrible at the moment, and not just because their receivers are dropping like Broncos players in the offseason (ok, not that bad). Their defense is just horrible, and without major injuries they really have no excuse. It's the freakin' 49ers... In any case when they play the Cardinals it should be an interesting game to watch.

San Diego 38, Denver 39 (predicted: San Diego 31, Denver 24)- This was also a hilarious game. First of all, the Chargers should have won. Ed Hochuli's muscles cannot save him. On the other hand, I love seeing San Diego lose two games in the final seconds, and props to Shanahan for going for the win instead of sending it to OT. There's no better way to give a division rival the finger. Brandon Marshall looked unstoppable. Side note: Why did LT get hurt? It's not the playoffs yet...

NE 19, NYJ 10 (predicted: NE 24, NYJ 14)- Not the game it was hyped up to be, although I guess one could expect Matt Cassell to be below average. Credit to him, he didn't screw up. The Jets offense, despite the free-agency acquisitions of Brett Favre and Alan Faneca, is nothing to write home about. Neither is the Jets defense.

Miami 10, Arizona 31 (predicted: Miami 17, Arizona 34)- Good calls by me on Larry Fitzgerald (153 yards) and Anquan Boldin (3 TD, 140 yards). Apparently the Dolphins secondary just didn't feel like covering Boldin's first TD- he blew right by the free safety. Boldin isn't even that fast. His third TD was the most impressive though. If this season doesn't convince Bill Parcells to retire, then he's going to be in the league forever.

Game postponed due to Hurricane (predicted: Baltimore 20, Houston 17)

Pittsburgh 10, Cleveland 6 (predicted: Pittsburgh 38, Cleveland 17)- Bad weather gave the Browns a chance, but Pittsburgh still should have killed them.

Philadelphia 37, Dallas 41 (predicted: Philadelphia 27, Dallas 31)- Ok, so add 10 to each team and I had it right. DeSean Jackson should basically kill himself. At least it was the game it was hyped up to be. Pretty exciting until the very end. Romo to TO is probably the best QB-receiver duo in the league at the moment.

8/15 winners picked correctly in week 2, 16/30 for the season so far.
