Los Angeles Rams (1-1) vs San Francisco 49ers (0-2)- 8:25, NFLN: Here's another bad game for Thursday Night football (on paper). The Rams are coming off a disappointing home loss against the Washington Redskins. The 49ers are coming off a divisional road loss in Seattle against the Seahawks in which they were competitive. This has the makings of a Niners win because they seem to win these primetime games every once in a while these last few seasons. Give me a defensive battle and a Niners win.
Prediction: San Francisco 16, LA Rams 13.
Sunday, September 24th
Baltimore Ravens (2-0) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) (London)- 9:30AM, Yahoo: The Ravens are coming off a dominant divisional home win over the Cleveland Browns. The Jags are coming off a disappointing divisional home loss against the Tennessee Titans. Expect a low scoring game here and for the Ravens to pull it out in London.
Prediction: Baltimore 20, Jacksonville 10.
Miami Dolphins (1-0) vs New York Jets (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: The Dolphins are coming off a nice road win in Los Angeles against the Chargers. The Jets are coming off a road loss in Oakland against the Raiders. I actually think the putrid Jets can hang around in this game, but the Dolphins will pull it out on the road.
Prediction: Miami 27, NY Jets 19.
Houston Texans (1-1) vs New England Patriots (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: The Texans are coming off a Thursday night road win in Cincinnati against the Bengals. The Patriots are coming off a road win in New Orleans against the Saints. I believe the Texans defense can keep them in this game for a bit, but I don't see them outscoring Tom Brady and that Pats offense.
Prediction: New England 27, Houston 16.
Denver Broncos (2-0) vs Buffalo Bills (1-1)- 1:00, CBS: The Broncos are coming off a big time home win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bills are coming off a close road loss in Charlotte against the Panthers. This game screams absolute let down for Trevor Siemian and the Broncos so give me the Bills to pull off the upset led by the defense and Tyrod Taylor.
Prediction: Buffalo 20, Denver 16.
Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) vs Chicago Bears (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: The Steelers are coming off a home win over the Sam Bradford-less Minnesota Vikings. The Bears are coming off a road loss in Tampa against the Buccaneers. The Steelers haven't wow'd anybody yet with their offensive potential and I think this could be the week as long as they don't look past the Bears, who almost upset the Falcons in week 1.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 30, Chicago 16.
Cleveland Browns (0-2) vs Indianapolis Colts (0-2)- 1:00, CBS: The Browns are coming off a divisional road loss in Baltimore against the Ravens. The Colts are coming off an overtime home loss against the Arizona Cardinals in a game that they should have won. The Browns are shockingly a road favorite and that's solely because Andrew Luck isn't playing yet again. That said, I like the Colts here at home.
Prediction: Indianapolis 20, Cleveland 13.
New York Giants (0-2) vs Philadelphia Eagles (1-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Giants are coming off yet another abysmal game and this time they did have Odell Beckham Jr (obviously not at 100%) in a Monday night home loss against the Detroit Lions. The Eagles are coming off a tough road loss in Kansas City against the Chiefs. The Giants offensive line is perhaps the worst in the league and the Eagles pass rush will dominate here. Give me the Eagles at home in a close one.
Prediction: Philadelphia 24, NY Giants 17.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) vs Minnesota Vikings (1-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Bucs are coming off a home win over the Chicago Bears. The Vikings are coming off a road loss in Pittsburgh against the Steelers and they didn't have Sam Bradford.
Prediction: Tampa Bay 20, Minnesota 16.
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) vs Detroit Lions (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: Here we have a battle of unbeatens. The Falcons are coming off a good home win against the Green Bay Packers in their home opener. The Lions are coming off a nice road win in East Rutherford against the Giants. I'm not sure if the Lions are this good and if they win here, that's a statement. But for now, give me the reigning NFC Champs to remain unbeaten and get a road win here.
Prediction: Atlanta 30, Detroit 20.
New Orleans Saints (0-2) vs Carolina Panthers (2-0)- 1:00, FOX: The Saints are coming off a disappointing home loss against the New England Patriots. The Panthers coming off a home win over the Buffalo Bills. The Panthers to me are the softest unbeaten in the league considering who they've played and they really haven't played to their potential, but they'll remain unbeaten another week because the Saints defense is just atrocious and this is the perfect opportunity for the Panther offense to get going.
Prediction: Carolina 24, New Orleans 20.
Seattle Seahawks (1-1) vs Tennessee Titans (1-1)- 4:05, FOX: The Seahawks are coming off a divisional home win over the San Francisco 49ers in which they didn't look good at all offensively. The Titans are coming off a nice bounce back win on the road in Jacksonville against their division rival in the Jaguars. I love the Titans in this spot and they'll prove their for real here against a Seahawks team that has issues on their offensive line.
Predicition: Tennessee 23, Seattle 16.
Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) vs Los Angeles Chargers (0-2)- 4:25, CBS: The Chiefs are coming off a home win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chargers are coming off a heartbreaking home loss over the Miami Dolphins in which Younghoe Koo missed yet another crucial field goal. Picking the Chargers here to bounce back is enticing, but I like the Chiefs to win another big game thanks to their dynamic offense and really good defense sans no Eric Berry.
Prediction: Kansas City 27, LA Chargers 20.
Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) vs Green Bay Packers (1-1)- 4:25, CBS: The Bengals are coming off yet another dismal home loss, but this time in primetime against the Houston Texans on a Thursdays night. The Packers coming off a tough Sunday night road loss in Atlanta against the Falcons. This game screams huge bounce back for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers and because of that, the Packers are my lock of the week.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, Cincinnati 16.
Oakland Raiders (2-0) vs Washington Redskins (1-1)- 8:30, NBC: The Raiders are coming off a home win over the putrid New York Jets. The Redskins are coming off a nice road win in Los Angeles against the Rams. The Raiders are just flat out the better team here, but I believe the Redskins can score with the Raiders so expect a closer Raider win.
Prediction: Oakland 30, Washington 24.
Monday, September 25th
Dallas Cowboys (1-1) vs Arizona Cardinals (1-1)- 8:30, ESPN: The Cowboys are coming off an awful road loss in Denver against the Broncos. The Cards are coming off an overtime road win in Indianapolis against the Colts in a game which they came from behind in. I like the Cowboys to bounce back here and win on the road in primetime.
Prediction: Dallas 27, Arizona 23.
