Now the games...Click on the links to get more info about each game:

Buffalo at Green Bay – [TSD Cupcake game of the week] Talk about two franchises headed in two completely different directions. The Packers spanked the Eagles before the Vick experience kicked in while the Bills kept it close with a division rival before some old bad habits showed up and doomed them. TSD Pick - Packers. Score 42-10

Miami at Minnesota – This game is going to be closer than people think. Minnesota is primed to get back at it after a slow start in New Orleans but Favre has no real threats at wide receiver. The Dolphins are likely to slow down Adrian Peterson for a second week and Favre will be forced to win this game. If Percy Harvin does not have a huge game the Vikings could be 0-2. That said the Miami secondary has no standouts. TSD Pick - Minnesota.

Kansas City at Cleveland – Kansas City is ripe for a let down after a huge upset win over a division rival. They are on the road playing a Cleveland team that allowed Tampa Bay to steal a victory from them in week one. That said that KC defense was very impressive. TSD Pick – KC

Chicago at Dallas – If you count the touchdown that was stolen from the Lions this would be the battle of two 0-1 teams. The Cowboys suffered a meltdown in Washington while Chicago got pimp slapped by the Lions before the refs provided an early X-mas present. The Cowboys have an O-line problem which is something the Bears defense can exploit. The good news for Cowboys nation is you are playing Jeff George (Redux) in Jay Cutler. You can always count on Jay to throw at least one what the heck was he thinking?(WTHWHT) pass per game. The Cowboys rebound in the house that Jerruh built. TSD Pick – Cowboys

Arizona at Atlanta – The Cardinals struggled against the Rams before Sam Bradford gifted them the game. Now they roll into Atlanta to a team that is probably still upset after losing to a rookie QB in a game they had multiple chances to win. TSD Pick – Atlanta

Tampa Bay at Carolina – Tampa Bay sneaked out a win a home after looking lethargic for most of the game. The Panthers put up a pretty good fight before the Giants took over the game late. TSD Pick – Carolina

Philadelphia at Detroit – The Lions are going to turn the Vick experience into the victim experience. The crowd will be in this game and the Lions are both improved and mad enough to beat the Eagles. My gut tells me the Eagles win this game. TSD Pick - Eagles.

Baltimore at Cincinnati – The Ravens are not a team that rides emotional roller coasters. They just show up and beat you to a pulp. That said the Ravens have a weakness in their secondary and the Bengals can exploit it if they decide to play this Sunday. I was expecting a better effort vs. the Pats but the Bengals tend to play the Ravens well. TSD Pick - Ravens

Pittsburgh at Tennessee – The Steelers come to Tennessee minus their star QB while the Titans looked great thumping the Raiders. The Steelers defense is far from the Raiders defense so Vince Young and Chris Johnson will have to earn their money this game. If the Steelers start the rookie I can’t see them beating the Titans but I also thought Altanta would thump the Steelers but we all know how that worked out. TSD Pick – Titans

Seattle at Denver – The Seattle defense along with a healthy and rejuvenated Matt Hasselback pounded the over-hyped 49ers. The Broncos did not impress in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Seattle defense along with a smart road game by Hasselback will get the Seahawks to 2-0. TSD Pick – Seattle

St. Louis at Oakland – Jason Campbell and the Raiders take it to the Rams in their home opener. TSD Pick – Raiders

Houston at Washington – The Texans come to the nation’s capitol after clearing a giant divisional hurdle that is the Colts. The Redskins are fresh off a victory against their arch rivals as well. The Texans have the advantage of continuity but the Redskins are going to have the advantage of 92,000 + plus raving lunatic Redskins fans. The Texans are a very good football team but they are walking into an ambush. TSD Pick – Redskins

New England at New York Jets – The Patriots looked great in their systematic dismantling of the Bengals. The Jets are a certified mess on offense. Jets stud CB called Randy Moss names and Randy plays well when motivated so I will get my popcorn ready and watch this one. TSD Pick – Patriots

Jacksonville at San Diego – The Chargers will rebound at the expense of the Jaguars. TSD Pick – Chargers

New York Giants at Indianapolis – [TSD Game of the week & TSD Upset Special] Since Indianapolis normally starts seasons 10-0 it will be interesting to see how they react at 0-1 or maybe even 0-2. The Giants looked shaky at first before they got their sea legs and beat the Panthers. The Giants secondary will be tested and the Colts run defense will look to improve against the run heavy G-men so this game will be interesting. TSD Pick - Giants

New Orleans at San Francisco – This is going to be a good football game. The 49ers will show up and make a game of it but the Saints are a scoring machine.  TSD Pick – Saints
