Week 2 in the NFL

My predictions this week:
1) Falcons over the Chiefs... Chief's backup QB Thigpen is in their offense hasn't been clicking, despite the Falcons losing pretty badly last week their RB's are looking good and the Chiefs have a horrible run defense.
2) Bills over the Raiders... Raiders' Jamarcuss Russel not looking so hot, so all they do is run. With Fargus out and their back-up McFadden banged up... it's not looking too good. Bills' Marshawn Lynch will run all over the Raiders in this game.
3) Bears over Bucs... The Bears looked good against the Colts, although Peyton Manning wasn't up to par in that game, I think they have what it takes to take down the bucs.
4) Vikings over Panthers... okay so the veteran Gus Ferotte is stepping in for Jackson and Peterson is banged up, but can the Panthers really keep this facade of greatness by winning with slim margins.
5) Patriots over Dolphins... yes, the Patriots are a great team and I want the Dolphins to win won, but I'm not sure they can against the Pats.
6) Giants over Bengals... the Bengals, Carson Palmer, the O-Line, and Ocho-cinco are looking horrendous, and the Giants look like Super Bowl Defenders.
7) Titans over Texans... Texans don't look to good and despite injuries the Titans have they are looking rather good in this matchup.
8) Cardinals over the Redskins... The Card's are on a great 2-0 start with Kurt Warner in his super bowl glory days and MVP form... with the Cardinals? I think they can do it. The Redskins offense is finally starting to click with their new system, but we'll see.
9) 49ers over Lions... not just because the Niners are my team, but because the Lions are just that bad.
10) Seahawks over Rams ... Hopefully a win for the Seahawks here... if they lose this one, they'll take my position at number 32 overall where the Rams now lie in my Rankings.
11) Broncos over Saints ... The Bronco's, despite controversial victory last week are scoring machines, and with Brandon Marshall back have a lot more targets for Cutler.
12) Steelers over the Eagles... yep, the 2-0 Steelers will probably beat the 1-1 Eagles, despite a healthy Donovan McNabb and a hurting Ben Roethlisburger the Steelers will pound this one out.
13) Colts over the Jags... the Colts just have to win this one. David Girrard isn't looking so hot and Peyton Mannings coming back to form.
14) Browns over Ravens ... the 0-2 Browns put up a fight against the Steelers last week, if Braylon Edwards can wipe the grease off his hands they should win this one.
15) Cowboys over the Packers ... despite the Pack looking good so far, they've beaten two lackluster teams, while TO and Romo have been putting up some strong numbers. Rodgers isn't too bad himself, but they're missing some firepower and have some banged up starters and won't have enough to pull this one off.
16) And on Monday Night, I think the Chargers will finally pull off a win. The Jets will probably lose this one, but it will probably be high scoring and hard fought.
