Week 2

BUF AT PIT:
Talk about a tale of two cities in Week 1. Pittsburgh exploded out of the gate, leaving me wondering by the middle of the first quarter if the Steelers are that good or the Browns that bad. Ben returned to the form of his first two seasons, and hopefully put last year behind him. Willie Parker flashed the talent that will get him to 1700 yards and 15 TDs. The D suffocated a totally over matched Browns O-line and broke Charlie Fryes spirit so completely that he was sent to the bench in the 2nd quarter and to Seattle hours later. On the opposite side of the spectrum is the Buffalo Bills. What can you really say that I didn't say last week about this team entering the season. Add a catastrophic injury to, by all accounts, a well-liked team player, and you either think they are gonna go 15-0 or 0-15 from here. The Bills were bad in Week 1, but I cant discount the possibility of a "Win one for the Gipper"effect taking over the game. This is a perfect opportunity for JP Losman to take control of this team and make a run. Buuuuutttttt........its still the Bills, and they suck, so I'm taking the Steelers. STEELERS 24-10 (Take the under as well, Pittsburgh will only score enough to win, and the Bills won't find much room to run or pass.)


WAS AT PHI
The battle of the RBs begins Monday night in Philly. This will be a prototypical NFC East game, sloppy, turnovers galore, befuddled QBs staring glumly at the Jumbotron as they slink off the field, and unruly fans. God I hate this division. McNabb needs to realize that his window of opportunity is closing fast. He is not the QB he once was, but he is still capable of winning games by himself. Thankfully, he doesn't need to these days because of Brian Westbrook, who, I was told is the most underrated RB in the league about 40,000 times during the preseason. DC has their own formidable rushing attack, where Ladell Betts may have given Clinton Portis another year or two as a high-caliber back. Jason Campbell is still the weak link there. All my buddies who are skins fans have been trying to talk me into this guy since he got drafted, but if coaches shared that opinion, why has Mark Brunell been the starter here for the last few years? Campbell needs to wow me before ill get on the Skins bandwagon, but I see Portis/Betts out running Westbrook this week, and that will be enough. WASHINGTON 17-14
