NFL Weekly Look Ahead Week 2 2006
Tampa Bay Bucs at Atlanta Falcons (-5.5)
Tampa Bay was hapless losing 27-0 in week one. Atlanta rolled division rivals Carolina and now host the Bucs this Sunday. Mike Vick was stellar with the ball and never turned it over, a key fact to the Games outcome. Chris Simms faces another good defense and should struggle again to produce points. Free pick: Atlanta -5.5
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears
Lions wide out Roy Williams has already guaranteed a victory while saying it was silly how close his team was to putting up 40 points against Seattle in week one. Um…didnt they Score6? Yes, and he went on to say there isnt a team that can stop the Lions offense when they are clicking. Well the Lions offense wont be on when they visit Soldier Field when the Bears put a whopping on them like they did Brett Favre one week earlier. Free pick: Chicago -8.5
New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers
Reggie Bush kicked off his Big East Era in style with over 140 yards of total production and now gets the chance to face a Green Bay defense that should remind him of most of the defenses he faced in college. With Brees at the helm and weapons all around him, the road team is the easy choice with Favre yet to put a point on the board. Free pick: New Orleans -2
Carolina Panthers (-3) at Minnesota Vikings
After an embarrassing loss at home to Atlanta, the Panthers will bounce back on the road in week two. The Vikings played very well in its first Game under Brad Childress; however expecting Carolina to start the year 0-2 is not likely. Look for a much more explosive offense with Steve Smith back in the lineup. Free pick: Carolina -3
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles
Eli Manning did everything to beat his older brother Peyton last week. again he faces another tough test with a rejuvenated Eagles team. Donovan McNabb looked excellent, throwing three touchdowns in his first Game back after rehabbing from hernia surgery. New York will play well but a win in Philly is easier said than done. Free pick: Philadelphia -3
Pittsburgh Steelers (-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars
After dismantling the Cowboys last week, the Jags defense will look to do the same to the defending champs. No one knows who will start at quarterback fro Pittsburgh, but one thing is for sure, he isnt likely to get much production with Jacksonville stuffing pressure down his throat all Game long. Free Pick: Jacksonville +1
