Week 2 Schedule

Below is the schedule for Week 2.

There are some match-ups this week that wouldn't typically seem like good games, but after the insanity that happened last week have now become must-see. The way Buffalo played far above its skill level and the way Jacksonville played well below its, this could be a great game. The Brady-Favre face-off would have been necessary viewing anyway, but now that Brady is out for the season, the Jets-Patriots game could actually be competitive. With it's first- through 14th-string receivers injured, Seattle's game against the Niners becomes more interesting. And the surprising (surprising because of how quickly they came into their own) duo of Michael Turner and Matt Ryan taking on the aging Bucs defense should be interesting -- I guess we'll see if the Falcons are a one-game fluke.

This week also has a match-up of the two teams that knocked off two of the "surest things" from last week. The Bears, who ripped apart the Colts, head to Carolina to take on the Panthers, who knocked off the Chargers with a last-second touchdown.

The Monday night game should be amazing as well, when the Cowboys host the surprisingly good Eagles. I personally can't wait for that one.

I'm a sore loser so I am going to keep picking and following the rules and thinking what if. I am still in shock that the Chargers lost on a catch by the star of the hit movie (insert movie). I think the joke is set up right but then I look at Rosario Dawson's film list and I could find one to insert.

Anyway, I'm going with the Buccaneers over the Falcons behind some Griese power. Shafer remembers those days.
