Week 2 NFL Predictions-Mike Singletary Scares The Seahawks

Now that week 1 has gone by this NFL season, we have an idea of what teams are contenders or pretenders. Fortunately, my week 1 predictions went better than what I thought. Finishing with a record of (9-6). 

In week 1 of every NFL season, you have to make insane picks because there are always insane results. I knew I was going to regret picking the Browns over the Vikings, but I did have 49ers beating the defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals.

The final game between the Raiders and Chargers was a great one, even though I unregretably picked the Raiders in that one. The closeness of that game came to no surprise to me at all.

But now we're moving on to week 2. There are some intriguing matchups as always in week 2. So here we go.

Texans @ Titans

Both teams are coming off of week 1 losses. Titans played tough, while the Texans disappointed many losing to the Jets. 

For the Titans to win this game they must run the ball effectively. Against the Steelers, Chris Johnson only rushed for 57 yards. They're not going to win games through the air, so give it to the fast guy.

In the Texans case they could use a big win after their disappointing loss to the Jets. They have Andre Johnson that will make any cornerback wet their britches, and a decent running game with Steve Slaton.

This is hard for me to choose. Advantage home team.

Titans 21     Texans 17

Fantasy Impact-Chris Johnson

Saints @ Eagles

Oh boy, can you feel a shootout? But wait, with McNabb's status uncertain I wouldn't quite rush to any conclusions. 

We know the Saints can score a million points a game, but the Eagles aren't the Detroit Lions either.

The Eagles can't win this one without McNabb. 

Saints 28     Eagles 20

Fantasy Impact-Drew Brees

Cardinals @ Jaguars

Another interesting matchup here in week 2. The defending NFC champs leaving week 1 without a victory against the 49ers. While the Jaguars lost a close battle to the Colts 14-12.

The Jags managed to give up 300 yards in the air to the Colts last week. However, they only gave up 14 points. The Cardinals pass threat is just as difficult, but they're not quite the defensive threat.

One of these tough teams will start the season (0-2).

Jaguars 20     Cardinals 14

Fantasy Impact-Maurice Jones-Drew

Raiders @ Chiefs

Here are two mediocre teams that put up tough fights against perennial opponents. Neither came to surprise to me though. The Chiefs have improved on both sides of the ball, while the Raiders are gaining experience.

I had the Raiders beating the Chargers last week, they almost did. So what makes you think I won't have them beating the Chiefs?

Raiders 24     Chiefs 14

Fantasy Impact-Darren McFadden

Bengals @ Packers

The Bengals' week 1 loss to the Broncos was a dagger, and I'm sure they're more than ready to beat the Packers this week. The Packers, however, were on the opposite side of the spectrum coming up with last minute heroics from Aaron Rodgers.

It appears that Ochocinco and Palmer are back on track despite their loss. So the Packers have much more on their hands in terms of receivers in week 2. But the Packers have a lot less to worry about when their up against the Bengals' defense.

No test for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Packers 34     Bengals 13

Fantasy Impact-Aaron Rodgers

Vikings @ Lions

Week 1 for the Vikings was no match against the Browns. What makes things different? Nothing. Lions are even worse, and it's going to take time for the Lions offense to develop with their new quarterback.

Drew Brees tore apart the Lions secondary, Childress is going to do the same with Favre. It's the best time for Favre to feel comfortable with the offense, and his teammates comfortable with him.

Brett Favre shines and Adrian Peterson does his part as well.

Vikings 34     Lions 7

Fantasy Impact-Brett Favre

Rams @ Redskins

The Rams suck. They can't get production anywhere on the field. What happened?
