Brett Favre added to his resume of improbable comebacks, Tennessee Titans are still trying to find their way, and the Dallas Cowboys finally get victory in their new stadium. Oh I did not forget the LOSING STREAK is finally over for the Detroit Lions, as they beat the Washington Redskins for their first victory in nearly two years. Taking look at my predictions, I did not do that well. I picked 10 out of 16 games correct, but I hope to improve with my picks with the upcoming games this week. Score under Prediction is what I expected but the final score is the actual result of the game.
= Correct Pick
= Incorrect Pick
1. Atlanta Falcons VS New England Patriots Prediction: Winner: New England 24-21
Game Result: Final Score: 26-10
New England rarely loses two games in a row and they won with ground attack in this game.
2. Carolina Panthers VS Dallas Cowboys Prediction: Winner: Dallas 27-24
Game Result: Final Score: 21-7
Carolina falls to 0-3 and Dallas gets first home win with over 200 yards on the ground.
3. Chicago Bears VS Seattle Seahawks Prediction: Winner: Chicago 17-10
Game Result: Final Score: 25-19
Devin Hester is turning into a good receiver and was important to the victory over the Seahawks.
4. Cleveland Browns VS Baltimore Ravens Prediction: Winner: Baltimore 21-7
Game Result: Final Score: 34-3
Baltimore offense is a great complement to their tough defense. Cleveland has a lot of work ahead of them.
5. Denver Broncos VS Oakland Raiders Prediction: Winner: Oakland 24-21
Game Result: Final Score: 23-3
Jamarcus Russell is one year away from being consider a bust He has not looked nowhere near the QB that
the Raiders thought they were drafting. This is first game that I thought Denver actually looked good.
6. Green Bay Packers VS Saint Louis Rams Prediction: Winner: Green Bay 31-14
Game Result: Final Score: 36-17
A very good showing of the offense as Green Bay dismantled the Rams' defense.
7. Indianapolis Colts VS Arizona Cardinals Prediction: Winner: Arizona 28-21
Game Result: Final Score: 31-10
I thought this would be a closer game but Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne proved to be too much for Arizona.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars VS Houston Texans Prediction: Winner: Houston 17-10
Game Result: Final Score: 31-24
Jacksonville got much needed win and Maurice Jones-Drew led the way with 3 rushing touchdowns.
9. Kansas City Chiefs VS Philadelphia Eagles Prediction: Winner: 31-14
Game Result: Final Score: 34-14
Kevin Kolb was great in this game. He is only quarterback to have over 300 yards passing in first two
starts. Michael Vick ran for seven yards and played in first regular season game in over 2 years.
10. Miami Dolphins VS San Diego Chargers Prediction: Winner: San Diego 21-14
Game Result: Final Score: 23-13
Chad Pennington suffers a shoulder injury that may be career threatening. 5 yard touchdown run by QB Philip Rivers was only offensive touchdown. San Diego rode kicker Nate Kaeding's leg to victory with 3 field goals. The defense helped the scoring cause with a pick returned for a touchdown.
11. New Orleans Saints VS Buffalo Bills Prediction: Winner New Orleans 35 -21
Game Result: Final Score: 27-7
Drew Brees did not throw a touchdown, but a good running game and defense earns them a victory. T.O. has no catches for the first time in over 180 games.
12. New York Giants VS Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction: Winner: New York 21-14
Game Result: Final Score: 24-0
A defensive gem on the part of the Giants, but it was an even more dismal display of offense by Tampa Bay.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers VS Cincinnati Bengals Prediction: Winner: Pittsburgh 21-7
Game Result: Final Score: 23-20
This was a great game by both teams. Bengals prove that they can play with contenders and win. They are perhaps a
a fluke catch away from starting the season 3-0.
14. San Francisco 49ers VS Minnesota Vikings Prediction: Winner: Minnesota 21-14
Game Result: Final Score: 27-24
The best pass thrown all season was thrown by Brett Favre to win the game. A very hard fought game without
the heroics of Favre this game would have been the 49ers easily.
15. Tennessee Titans VS New York Jets Prediction: Winner: Tennessee 24-14
Game Result: Final Score: 24-17
I was wrong. I actually thought Titans would get a victory here. Rex Ryan really has that defense looking like a
championship caliber unit. The rookie Mark Sanchez played hard nose football and did what it took to win.
16. Washington Redskins VS Detroit Lions Prediction: Winner: Washington 21-14
Game Result: Final Score: 19-14
The streak is over, and the Detroit Lions looked real good defeating the Redskins. I question the last play of the game for the Redskins. Why not just throw the Hail Mary and see what happen instead of trying to catch it short and use laterals. The goal line stand that held Washington Redskins out of the end zone was absolutely awesome. A great win for the Lions and by all means very necessary.
