NFL Week 2 predictions

Last week: 11-5
Last night: 1-0
Season record: 12-5

So we're already heading into Week 2.  Man, I hope the season slows down so we can savor it a bit more.  But I think that's the key.  We have to savor it now.  Think about how you are going to feel sitting on your couch next July watching meaningless baseball games, golf, tennis and competitive eating.  Yeah, that's when the football jones hits me the hardest.  So yeah...hey you!  Get ready for some serious Red Zone action and four late games this week as opposed to the paltry two last week.  With that, let's look into Mikey's Crystal Ball.....

Oh wait, I'd be remiss if I didn't throw this out there....what number will be greater at the end of the season--the Patriots' wins, or the number of times Tom Brady's head explodes when his receivers drop passes or break routes off?  Yikes. 

St. Louis at Atlanta--Here is the one statistic Jeff Fisher needs to know....there are three things that are inevitable--death, taxes, and the Falcons winning at home.  Falcons 27, Rams 13

San Diego at Philadelphia--I hope the San Diego defense packs their track suits for this game.  And with home adrenaline, you just might see that Eagles offense blow the visor right off Chip Kelly's head.  Eagles 38, Chargers 17

Dallas at Kansas City--Poor Andy Reid.  He gets relegated to coach an AFC West team and has to play the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants back to back in Weeks 2, 3 and 4.  I'm already getting my popcorn ready for his return to Philly on Thursday.  Chiefs 22, Cowboys 19

Miami at Indianapolis--These two teams are a bit hard to figure out.  Miami played against an awful Browns team last week and squeaked out a win on the road.  The Colts looked like they would roll the Raiders as everyone expected and came damn close to letting Terrelle Pryor roll them.  Colts 24, Dolphins 17

Tennessee at Houston--I'm sorry.  I just don't see the Titans pitching another virtual shutout this week.  The Texans actually have a running game unlike the Steelers did last week.  Texans 30, Titans 20

Washington at Green Bay--Oh, baby.  RG3 at Lambeau for the first time.  First of all, the Packers' high flying offense will look like an RA Dickey knuckleball compared to the Eagles last week.  Secondly, if the Shanahans leave their star QB out there for too long again, they will need Dr. Andrews on permanent payroll.  Packers 34, Redskins 27

Cleveland at Baltimore--At least the Ravens lost to a decent team last week.  I feel for all my buds in Cleveland having to watch another season of crappy football.  Ravens 23, Browns 16

Carolina at Buffalo--I take back what I said about EJ Manuel last week.  He looked real good in almost leading his team to an upset against the Pats.  Bills 21, Panthers 20

Minnesota at Chicago--Who doesn't love NFC North games?  The only thing better is an NFC North game outdoors in December.  Or January.  Okay, so neither of these teams will be playing in January. Bears 26, Vikings 23

New Orleans at Tampa Bay--On paper, this should be a laugher.  But New Orleans is far more vulnerable on the road.  Oh wait, this is the Bucs.  Saints 30, Bucs 17

Detroit at Arizona--Larry Fitzgerald has to feel like a kid on Christmas, since Santa brought him Carson Palmer.  Cardinals 24, Lions 21

Jacksonville at Oakland--Please don't get your popcorn ready for this one.  Raiders 27, Jaguars 14

Denver at NY Giants--As a Giants fan, I so want Eli to stick it in his big brother's eye once and for all.  But you guys who want to debate which one is better, just watch this game.  I love the Giants and that Eli has led us to two championships, but just watch this game.  The Giants' secondary is banged up and awful too, so Peyton might throw for eight touchdowns this week.  Okay, five.  Broncos 38, Giants 27

San Francisco at Seattle--Clearly we have two teams that are the class of the NFC.  I just hope this one is as good as advertised.  Seahawks 20, Niners 19

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati--Don't look now, every team in the AFC North is 0-1, and therefore tied for first place.  In Pittsburgh, terrible is not just used to describe towels after last week.  Bengals 20, Steelers 13
