Giants (0-2) vs. Redskins (2-0), 4:15 PM
Is anyone else not buying the Redskins as an 2-0 team? I mean sure, they have the record and you can't really take that away from them, but they have looked wholly unimpressive. Jason Campbell is barely managing the game and no one on the team as looked all that good.
As far as the Giants go, Last week was an absolute train wreck, but that was last week. Look for wholesale changes on the Giants D', looking something like this:
Aaron Ross to start Opposite Sam Madison at corner. Corey Webster to become the nickel back. R.W. McQuarters to be buried next to Jimmy Hoffa in the endzone. Mathia Kiwanuka back to DE, Gerris Wilkinson to WLB, and Kawika Mitchell to SLB. Michael Johnson to FS, replacing James Butler, Maybe.
With all that change, the Giants will either be excellent on D, or terrible. Sorry, even I don't see it happening.
Redskins 28 - Giants 17
Jets(0-2) vs. Dolphins(0-2), 1:00 PM
I know I wrote about it earlier this week, but what happened to the Jets coaching staff? Have we seen one inventive play this entire season so far? What happened to Brad Smith at QB?
Anyway, Kellen Clemens looked good at QB against a good D. Talking to alot of Jet fans this week, everyone seemed thrilled with his arm strength. I guess that is what years of Chad Pennington will do to you.
What is there to say about the Dolphins, They just aren't very good. Ronnie Brown also might be one the biggest bust RBs ever. The Jets will get their First win this week.
Jets 17 - Dolphins 3
San Francisco (2-0) vs. Pittsburgh (2-0), 1:00 PM
I love San Francisco's defense. I think that Mike Nolan is an awesome coach and that he has turned that D into one of the elite units in the NFL. Patrick Willis is so dirty, he's becoming an elite linebacker right before our eyes.
However, Alex Smith and the offense need to become way more consistent than they are right now. Smith needs to start using Vernon Davis more, because he is the best weapon they have in the passing game.
Pittsburgh is going to ride Willie Parker as much as they can, but I don't see him getting free against this defense.
San Francisco 20 - Pittsburgh 10
