2012 NFL Week 2 Predictions

It was a crazy week in the NFL's first week of the 2012 season. There were a lot of close games and the teams that stood out to me the most were the Denver Broncos and San Fransisco 49ers. Both teams beat the two teams that were in the Super Bowl. Week 2 is upon us and I cannot wait for some of the games that are on this week. As always, the teams highlighted in bold lettering are my predicted winners.

Bears at Packers
Texans at Jaguars

Chiefs at Bills
Cardinals at Patriots
Buccaneers at Giants
Saints at Panthers
Vikings at Colts
Raiders at Dolphins
Browns at Bengals
Ravens at Eagles 

The Ravens dominated a decent Bengals team and the Eagles barely got by the Browns. The Ravens offense has improved while defense remains great.
Redskins at Rams 

Both are young and upcoming teams but I think it's going to be awhile before anyone figures out RG3. I think it will be a very close and exciting game to watch.
Cowboys at Seahawks
Jets at Steelers
Titans at Chargers
Lions at 49ers 

The 49ers handled the Packers easily at Lambeau Field which is difficult so imagine what they will do at home. The Lions barely survived the Rams and if the secondary can't handle the Rams recievers they wont handle the 49ers
Broncos at Falcons
Broncos embarrass the most dominant defense in the league for quite some time and if they cant handle the Steelers I believe they will get past the Falcons. Peyton Manning has a new spirit and looks better then he ever has. 

Those are my predictions for the week. Here are the odds from Vegas.com
