Week 2
Seattle Seahawks: A slew of zero's on the scorecard did them in in week 1, is there anything on that roster that takes them to a victory in 2016?
New England Patriots: They need a bounce back game after a tough divisional loss in week 1, and they have the perfect match-up in week 2. Pats lose here, season's done.
Los Angeles Rams: Heavyweight match-up for the second week in a row, will the Rams thin defense survive another week.
New York Jets: This may be the biggest game in franchise history, a win here will send shivers across the the AFC. If the Jets WR unit comes up big, they have a shot.
Arizona Cardinals: They need a bounce back game to keep pace with the Rams, but the dolphins are no slouch. With a tough schedule ahead, this is a must win.
Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins had an impressive win in week 1, scoring over 200 points, and will need a similar performance to keep up with the Cards.
San Francisco 49ers: Another weak match-up where its possible to pull out a victory, but starting in week 3, the schedule gets tough.
Buffalo Bills: The 113 they put up last week would have beaten the 105 the 49ers put up in week 1... they have a shot here!
New York Giants: Tough match-up here for the second week in a row. Giants need Taylor and Barnidge to show up in week 2.
Baltimore Ravens: They sure could use one of JJ Watts monster games this week, but really need some more consistent play from Dez Bryant, these two need to get it going.
Dallas Cowboys: It was hard to even imagine one year ago that the Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles would all be ahead of the Giants in the division. Cowboys are on the rise.
Pittsburgh Steelers: A hard fought week 1 victory reminds us how the future of the AFC may belong to the Steelers and all the youth this organization has acquired.
Philadelphia Eagles: A nice week 1 victory and a favorable match-up in week 2 and it remains in the realm of possibility that the Eagles stay atop of the NFC East.
Cincinnati Bengals: Will need some offense to try and bounce back, a second consecutive loss in week 2 could mean for a long season in Cincinnati.
Washington Redskins: A tough week 2 match-up for the Redskins, we will see how much consistency this team has. They need to keep winning in the competitive NFC East
Cleveland Browns: With a Ravens loss in week 1, it appears that the Browns are now the favorite in the AFC North, but an early challenge comes with Washington.
Indianapolis Colts: A nice week one victory put the Colts in a position to distance themselves from the Texans if they can win. A monster divisional game here.
Houston Texans: The Texans need to bounce back in a big way, a win here against a divisional rival puts them right back in the hunt, but keep your eyes on the points total here for the Texans.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Favorable match-up for the Jaguars in week 2, but like the Texans, keep an eye on their weekly point total as 143 ppg won't be enough down the stretch.
Tennessee Titans: Considering the inherent weakness of the division, any modest maneuvers to get rid of the weekly zero's in the line-up would go a long way. Must win game.
Oakland Raiders: Will do their best, but over matched in this rebuild year.
San Diego Chargers: A favorable match-up in week two buys this organization more time to address glaring holes on offense.
Kansas City Chiefs: A favorable match-up in week 2, as the showdown with San Diego looms for control of the division in week 3.
Denver Broncos: Will do their best, but a match-up with the Raiders looms in week 3 to stay out of last place in the division.
Green Bay Packers: With the division in turmoil because of injuries, there's a small chance here for the Packers, but they need to rise to the occasion.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tamps needs its rookies to step up fast in week 2, and while the Packers are no juggernaut, they appear to have to much for the Bucs.
Chicago Bears: Big game for the Bears, they need to win to keep pace with division foes. The Saints wont be easy to deal with.
New Orleans Saints: Saints look to be in a battle with the Panthers in the NFC South, but the week 1 point total was a bit worrisome, keep your eye on the final score of this game.
Minnesota Vikings: Despite the massive injuries in week 1, the Vikings totaled an impressive 237 points. They survived through injuries last year to make a hell of a run.
Atlanta Falcons: This could be the game of the year for the Falcons, if they are to hang in there with the Panthers and Saints, this is a must win early in the season.
Detroit Lions: To start 0-2 in a 12 game season makes the odds of making the playoffs very difficult. Hard to imagine a team with the fire power of the Lions not being a factor.
Carolina Panthers: Impressive week 1 victory, and appear to have early control of the division. But, the Lions will be a test. Big game to watch this Sunday!
