NFL Predictions Week 2: Which Teams Will Shock the World on Sunday?

The NFL is such a great popular sport because of the balance of power.  Every week we see upsets and unexpected results.  However, there are still games that take us by surprise and shock the world. 

Last week, the Buffalo Bills provided that shock as they crushed the Kansas City Chiefs.  Kansas City was coming off an AFC West title run, and were expected to have a solid team.  Buffalo was again expected to contend for the top overall selection in the upcoming draft. We can expect to see more upsets this week.

Last week, no team was more embarrassed than the Indianapolis Colts. We all know they were without Peyton Manning, but they looked bad on all phases of the game. 

Today, the Colts will be facing the Cleveland Browns in a game where they will be considered the underdog.  The more shocking thing might be that the Colts are actually an underdog against the Browns. 

However, I expect to see this team rebound and make adjustments.  Look for a heavy dose of Joseph Addai and Delone Carter, as the Colts look to feature a more balanced attack.

Everybody is convinced that the Patriots are already in midseason form, and on their way to another Super Bowl.  However, they gave up a ton of yards to a Dolphins offense that is seen as nothing more than average. 

Now they face Phillip Rivers and the high-powered Chargers offense, featuring playmakers like Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates. A loss at home would be a major shocker, but completely possible. Expect the Chargers defense to be prepared for Brady's no-huddle attack.

The Bears gained a little respect after their dismantling of the Atlanta Falcons.  However, the majority still question this team. This week they head to New Orleans, and many feel they have little chance to leave with a victory.

As long as Chicago's defense is at full strength, you cannot count them out.  They always find a way to create turnovers and keep offenses out of the end zone. They will also be playing some inspired football, after the tragic death of Brian Urlacher's mother.
