All Day

If you can't stop the run, chances are you can't stop the Minnesota Vikings.

After a mediocre performance in Week 1 vs. the San Francisco 49ers, Adrian Peterson bounced back with a monster showing in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions.

While he didn't find the end zone, his production on the ground was key on most of the drives vs. the Lions. Meanwhile, the Chargers were getting trampled by Giovani Bernard and the Cincinnati Bengals running game.

Through the first two games of the season, the Chargers are allowing 4.8 yards per carry. That won't get it done against Peterson and the Vikes. Minnesota will win at home

The Other CP3

If you're not considering the Arizona Cardinals a Super Bowl threat yet, you should be. Not only are the Cards 2-0, they have looked incredibly impressive along the short way.

Most recently, Arizona went into the Windy City and destroyed the Chicago Bears 48-23. Carson Palmer threw four touchdown passes with three of them going to Larry Fitzgerald. The chemistry those two have is dangerous for the rest of the NFL.

In Week 3, Arizona hosts a San Francisco 49ers team coming off a lopsided loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. The Niners were able to surprise Minnesota in Week 1, but that win was an anomaly. They're going to be really bad this season. After a second straight rout, we'll all see just how bad they'll be.

Too Many Weapons

Antonio Brown is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, and he's been proving it through the first two weeks of the season.

He already has 18 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns.

He and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have been clicking on all cylinders. While running back Le'Veon Bell was out because of suspension, DeAngelo Williams filled in nicely. Bell is set to return against the St. Louis Rams in Week 3, and that leaves Jeff Fisher's team with a dilemma: Who do we key on?

Per Blitzburgh, both running backs insist ego won't be an issue.

The weapons the Steelers have on offense are the best of any team in the league, and they will prove too muchfor the Rams to contend with.
