After a long, tumultuous off-season, in which many of us actually thought we'd never see a game this year, week one of this season is officially in the books.
With so many off-season training camps canceled and players not having a chance to really figure it out, week one predictions were probably about as hard to guess as trying to figure out which team Terrell Owens will eventually end up with, if any.
But now that we've had a chance to finally see what's become of this shortened off-season, with new acquisitions barely a month into it with their new team, lets see if we can figure out the week 2 results.
Raiders @ Bills
While both team looked impressive in week one I believe the Raiders actually have respectable talent on both sides of the field. Raiders win.
Chiefs @ Lions
With a healthy Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson finally connecting, the Lions should be able to quickly dismantle the Eric Berry-less Chiefs. Matt Cassel on the other hand should have his hands full with the beastly Ndomukong Suh. Lions Win.
Ravens @ Titans
The Dominating Ravens defense is just too powerful for Matt Hasselbeck and his new team. Ravens win.
Browns @ Colts
I know everyone is hoping the Manning-less Colts tank the season in hopes of landing Andrew Luck, but I honestly can not see Reggie Wayne and co. purposely losing games. What does that say about their integrity? What kind of message are they sending to their friend and teammate Manning? Now, I do believe the Colts sans Manning were not good enough to beat the Texans in week one, but they are good enough to beat these Browns. Colts win.
Buccaneers @ Vikings
I expected both of these teams to win their week one match-ups, but since they didn't I'm taking home field advantage. Vikings win.
Bears @ Saints
No disrespect to the Bears but after that near comeback against who I believe is the best team this year, The Green Bay Packers, Drew Brees and the Saints take the game. Saints win.
Jaguars @ Jets
After watching the Jets on Sunday night, I think we all learned that they have a lot to work on. Mark Sanchez is not the quarterback we expected coming into his 3rd season, Antonio Cromartie isn't aggressive enough to come down with the ball and blitz needs to come a little faster. The Jags should be good enough practice for the Jets to figure this out. Jets win.
Seahawks @ Steelers
The Steelers are mad about that beating they took at the hands of the Ravens. They're taking it all on Seattle. Steelers win.
Cardinals @ Redskins
The redskins are looking pretty good under the new and improved Rex Grossman and Cobb and company still have a bit of work to do, especially the defense who gave up over 400 passing yards to a rookie in his debut. Redskins win.
Packers @ Panthers
Lets see Cam Newton throw for over 400 yards against this defense. Packers win.
Cowboys @ 49ers
A good old match-up that takes us back to those old rivalry days between these two teams. But this is 20 years later. Frisco is on the uprising but not quite there yet. I see Tony Romo fixing some of his mistakes and getting the game ball. Cowgirls win.
Bengals @ Broncos
We already know this game doesn't matter. Neither of these teams are playing in the post season. Only thing I have to say is, WE WANT TEBOW. But staying on the topic, Maybe Orton gets a little motivation from all this. Broncos win.
Texans @ dolphins
Both teams played great offensively in week one. The winner of this one is going to come on the defensive side and one team is better defensively. Texans win.
Chargers @ Patriots
Tom Brady threw for 517 yards and only one of those completed passes was to Chad Ochocinco. Patriots win.
Eagles @ Falcons
Mike Vick is back in the dirttty South. Different uniform, different bird, different time. Loaded as he is, in the wallet and on the field, I can't see Vick leaving with a loss. Eagles win.
Rams @ Giants
Eli and the Giants need to win now if they truly wish to contend in their division. Playing the injury prone Rams, or Lambs, could be a great way to start. Giants win.
We'll see how this goes
