Fearless Rick's NFL Week 2 Picks - Early Games
All times Eastern - Click here for late games.
Thursday, September 13
Chicago at Green Bay (-6, 51) 8:20 pm - The first of two annual re-enactment of the NFL's oldest rivalries has the Bears - winners in week one - as severe underdogs to the Packers, who, in all honesty, looked second rate against the 49ers in their 30-22 home loss.
Admittedly, San Fran probably has the best defense in the league, and Aaron Rodgers was wearing them down late in the contest, but the Packers never really were in that game after the first quarter.
The Bears picked off rookie Andrew Luck three times in their 41-21 win, but they'll be facing a much more experienced and poised thrower in Rodgers, thus, the line doesn't lie and the Packers may be more than a touchdown better.
Prediction: Packers 31 Bears 21
Tampa Bay at NY Giants (-7 1/2, 43 1/2) 1:00 pm - The New York football Giants didn't fare well in their season opener, as Dallas took their measure, but they should bounce back well against Tampa Bay, which showed more defense than anyone thought they had, defeating Cam Newton and the Panthers, 16-10.
That said, the Buccaneers didn't do much on offense against one of the league's most porous defenses. The Giants have potential advantages all over the field on both sides of the ball and Eli Manning is likely to make them pay dearly for any mistakes.
Prediction: Giants 28 Buccaneers 10
Not only did the New Orleans allow the Redskins 10 points in each quarter, but early in the 4th quarter, the Saints were down 33-17 large and never really had a shot after that. Drew Brees was picked twice and the NO defense showed they were suspect against mobile QBs. Cam Newton, anyone? Saints 0-2? You betcha!
Prediction: Panthers 30 Saints 27
Kevin Kolb replaced John Skelton in the Cardinals' victory over Seattle, throwing the game-winning score in the 20-16 win.
Not much to say about New England's 34-13 trouncing of Tennessee, except that Tom Brady is still Tom Brady and the defense was markedly better than last year's version. Still, the Pats may not be as good defensively as they looked against the Titans and Kevin Kolb has something to play for, namely the starting QB job.
Pats may win, but don't rule out what could be the major upset of the day.
Prediction: Cardinals 31 Patriots 30
However, he connected for zero TD passes and lack of red zone offense is killer in the NFL. Minnesota may have looked OK at home, but, even though this will be in a dome, it is still a road game and the Colts are hungry.
Look for Andrew Luck to find more open receivers than he did last week against the Bears and lead his Colts to their first 2012 victory.
Prediction: Colts 24 Vikings 21
The Eagles still don't have much of a running game and Baltimore's defenders will be waiting for Michael Vick any time he leaves the pocket, making life for the Eagles very uncomfortable.
Joe Flacco looked like Johnny Unitas against the Bengals and if he continues with his hot hand, this one won't be nearly as close as the line indicates it might.
Prediction: Ravens 28 Eagles 17
Who wins? Who cares? Even though it's only week two, neither team looks like they're going anywhere this season, so take the points and believe that Buffalo's defense was probably quite a bit overrated during preseason and their injuries - especially to RB Fred Jackson - will cost them dearly.
Prediction: Chiefs 20 Bills 14
You really can't blame QB Andy Dalton for Cincinnati's ugly loss to the Ravens, however. He was harassed and pressured throughout the evening and only threw one pick. However, the defense did allow Baltimore to run up 44 points and the Bengals should not face the same kind of pressure nor the offensive output from the Browns.
Could actually be a walk in their home park for the Bengals.
Prediction: Bengals 34 Browns 20
They're just that good and Jacksonville is, well... not.
Prediction: Texans 41 Jaguars 16
