After an exciting Week One<\/a>, the NFL continues into the second week of the year with some more juicy matchups.<\/p>\n

Sunday, September 19:
\n<\/strong>1:00 – Buffalo (0-1) at GREEN BAY (1-0)
\nThe Packers, coming off a nice road win at Philly to open the season, get a real easy one here in Week Two.\u00a0 The Bills are not good and really have no real\u00a0shot at going into Lambeau and stealing one.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Baltimore (0-1) at CINCINNATI (1-0)
\nSo, everyone’s sleeper is now 0-2, with another really tough game.\u00a0 The Bengals couldn’t get it done in Gillette Stadium in Week One, but they are a very good team and not one that you want to have to play at 1:00 six days after a Monday night tussle with the hard-hitting, emotional New York Jets.\u00a0 This has all the makings of another tough loss for the Ravens.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Pittsburgh (0-1) at TENNESSEE (1-0)
\nWithout Big Ben, the Steelers are going to find it hard to score points, and the Titans should get enough points with Chris Johnson and company to win this game at home.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Chicago (1-0) at DALLAS (1-0)
\nThis is no walk in the park for the Cowboys after an emotional Sunday night win over Washington, but they should be able to get it done in the season opener in the Jerry Dome.<\/p>\n

1:00 – PHILADELPHIA (0-1) at Detroit (0-1)
\nComing off an opening day loss to the Pack, the Eagles should recover and beat the Lions pretty handily.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Tampa Bay (0-1) at CAROLINA (0-1)
\nThe Bucs are bad and probably won’t win a road game all year.\u00a0 They almost definitely won’t go into Carolina and get one.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Arizona (1-0) at ATLANTA (1-0)
\nA 1:00 game for the Matt Leinart and the Cardinals against a really good Falcons team?\u00a0 Yeah, this one was easy.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Kansas City (0-1) at CLEVELAND (1-0)
\nThe Browns are 2-0?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 Ya, I can’t find a reason why they wouldn’t beat Kansas City at home.\u00a0 It’s not that I think the Browns are all that good, it’s just I don’t think the Chiefs are all that good at all, and the game is in Cleveland.\u00a0 Give me the Browns to go 2-0.<\/p>\n

1:00 – Miami (1-0) at MINNESOTA (0-1)
\nA real tough spot for a good Dolphins team.\u00a0 They have to go on the road at Minnesota, who is coming off a tough loss to the defending champs, and the Vikes get 10 days to prepare.\u00a0 Minnesota should be able to get this one at home and avoid 0-2.<\/p>\n

4:05 – Seattle (0-1) at DENVER (0-1)
\nThis meaningless game between two bad teams was probably the hardest one to predict of the entire Week Two schedule.\u00a0 I went back and forth multiple times, but eventually went with the home team because, well, they’re the home team.<\/p>\n

4:05 – St. Louis (0-1) at OAKLAND (0-1)
\nThis should be an easy first Raider win for Jason Campbell.\u00a0 Yes, it’s the Raiders, but there is no way the Rams come into the Black Hole and beat the Raiders here.<\/p>\n

4:15 – HOUSTON (0-1) at Washington (0-1)
\nAnother tough home game for the ‘Skins, as they start the season with back-to-back home losses.\u00a0 Both teams are coming off tough divisional losses at home, so, despite it being only a Week Two out-of-conference matchup, this game is pretty big\u00a0for both sides.\u00a0 I just think that the Texans have slightly more horses than the ‘Skins and should be able to go into FedEx and get a win…but it’ll be close.<\/p>\n

4:15 – Jacksonville (1-0) at SAN DIEGO (1-0)
\nThe Jags have to go all the way across the country, a week after a nice win over the Broncos.\u00a0 This long flight should all\u00a0but compensate for the short week that the Chargers have to prepare, after a Monday night tilt last week.\u00a0 The Chargers are the better team, and they are at home.\u00a0 Give me SD easily in this one.<\/p>\n

4:15 – NEW ENGLAND (1-0) at N.Y. Jets (1-0)
\nFor the second straight week, the Jets are playing in what is probably the best game of the week.\u00a0 The problem with this one is that they are coming off a Monday night bloodbath with Baltimore.\u00a0 I think that, even though this is one of the biggest games of the year for them, there still is probably a little letdown after an emotional game last week.\u00a0 Even Rex Ryan can’t get them all the way back.\u00a0 And, anything that puts you off your game against the Pats could be enough to cost you a game.\u00a0 Give me New England in a war here in the new digs.<\/p>\n

8:20 – N.Y Giants (1-0) at INDIANAPOLIS (1-0)
\nNew defensive coordinator Perry Fewell probably felt good about the opener at home against Carolina and Matt Moore.\u00a0 I don’t think he’ll be feeling quite as good after a national TV shellacking is handed to him by Peyton Manning down in the RCA Dome.<\/p>\n

Monday, September 20:
\n<\/strong>8:30 – NEW ORLEANS (1-0) at San Francisco (1-0)
\nThe 49ers picked up a big road win at Seattle last week, but they should give that game right back here this week, as they face the defending champion Saints, who have 11 days to prepare.\u00a0 The only shot the Niners have here is if the Saints spend some of that time looking ahead to next week’s showdown in Atlanta, but that’s probably not much of a chance.\u00a0 Give me the Saints, maybe not easily, but definitely to pull it out.<\/p>\n

STANDINGS AFTER WEEK 2
\n<\/strong>NFC EAST
\n<\/strong>2-0 Dallas
\n1-1 N.Y. Giants
\n1-1 Philadelphia
\n0-2 Washington<\/p>\n

Two tough losses for the ‘Skins means that they have a LOT of work to do now to get back into the race in the best division in football.\u00a0 The Cowboys get two tough wins and hold the edge here early.<\/p>\n

NFC NORTH
\n<\/strong>2-0 Green Bay
\n1-1 Chicago
\n1-1 Minnesota
\n0-2 Detroit<\/p>\n

No surprises here.\u00a0 The Vikes avoid 0-2, the Packers continue to roll.<\/p>\n

NFC SOUTH
\n<\/strong>2-0 Atlanta
\n2-0 New Orleans
\n1-1 Carolina
\n0-2 Tampa Bay<\/p>\n

The best two teams are still in charge here in the South.\u00a0 TB takes their rightful spot on the bottom.<\/p>\n

NFC WEST
\n<\/strong>1-1 Arizona
\n1-1 San Francisco
\n0-2\u00a0Seattle
\n0-2 St. Louis<\/p>\n

This division is terrible.<\/p>\n

AFC EAST
\n<\/strong>2-0 New England
\n1-1 Miami
\n1-1 N.Y. Jets
\n0-2 Buffalo<\/p>\n

A huge win for the Patriots over the Jets gives them a huge leg up here in the East.<\/p>\n

AFC NORTH
\n<\/strong>2-0 Cleveland
\n1-1 Cincinnati
\n0-2 Baltimore
\n0-2 Pittsburgh<\/p>\n

Wow!\u00a0 The big surprise in the early going is the Browns holding a TWO-game lead over both the Ravens and the Steelers.\u00a0 The Bengals got a gigantic win over the Ravens here in Week Two.\u00a0 The question for the Steelers here is:\u00a0 Are they going to dig themselves too big of a hole for Ben to dig them out?<\/p>\n

AFC SOUTH
\n<\/strong>2-0 Indianapolis
\n2-0 Tennessee
\n1-1 Houston
\n1-1 Jacksonville<\/p>\n

The best division, record-wise, through two weeks in the AFC South.\u00a0 The Colts have now won 16 straight regular season games with their starters.<\/p>\n

AFC WEST
\n<\/strong>2-0 San Diego
\n1-1 Denver
\n1-1 Oakland
\n0-2 Kansas City<\/p>\n

The Chargers on top of a bad division…get used to it.<\/p>\n
