NFL Predictions Week 2: 3 Upsets on the Horizon

There are upsets nearly every week in the National Football League. Here are three upsets that will be in the forecast for Sunday.

Cleveland Browns at Indianapolis Colts

Kerry Collins is the best fit at quarterback for the Colts in 2011. It takes a while to learn their complex system. He could have a lousy performance in his home debut.

Peyton Hillis will need to have a massive day running the football. The less Colt McCoy has to throw the ball downfield, the better.

Indianapolis should win this football game, but maybe we will find out just how much Peyton Manning means to the Colts in Week 2.

Oakland Raiders at Buffalo Bills

Oakland has one of the most complete running backs in the league in Darren McFadden. He can flat-out do it all on the football field. Buffalo’s defense gave up 108 yards rushing in Week 1. Their defense in 2010 gave up 2,714 yards total in rushing yards.

McFadden should have a solid day running the football.

Also, the defensive line for the Raiders, led by Richard Seymour, is one of the best in the AFC. They will put enough pressure on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to get the job done.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

This game is all set up for Michael Vick to put on a memorable performance for his former team. The “dream team” is heading to Atlanta to face a squad that got embarrassed by the Chicago Bears in Week 1.

Not so fast.

This game will be in the dome in Atlanta. Matt Ryan knows how to win football games there. Michael Turner has a great chance of being the best running back in the league in Week 2. Vick could go down at any moment with an injury.

Don’t bet against a home underdog in the NFL. Especially not these Falcons.
