How To Beat The Hosts: Predictions For Week Three

Last week was not as good as Week One. The Bengals played an amazing defensive game and crushed the Pack on their home turf.  Pittsburgh lost to the Bears (of all teams) after showing they still have no run game and then missing two field goals that could have tied and /or won the game.

All in all, we went 11-5 last week, if you followed my predictions, which isn’t bad, but I think we can do better.  This week had a few hard decisions, the Titans at the Jets for one, along with the Pats hosting the Falcons, and Pittsburgh visiting a surprising Cincinnati.

Also, the Lions have a chance to get their first win in almost two years when they host the Washington Redskins, who have played poorly so far. Let’s hope for the best, and see how it all turns out as we try to beat the odds, and the hosts.

Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia looked slightly worse than mediocre without Donovan McNabb behind the wheel. Andy Reid says Kolb will start again if McNabb can’t play. That’s probably a lie, but Philly’s made bad decisions before. Still, their defense should be able to take out Matt Cassel fairly easily.

He did poorly last week against a feeble Oakland team and now has to face one of the better defenses in the NFC.  McNabb will probably start for the Eagles, but even if he doesn’t, Jeff Garcia, or Michael Vick should do fine against a terrible Kansas City defense (trust me, Kolb won’t last much longer with those guys as his backups).
