Oakland at BuffaloOakland got the win last week, but only picked up 55 of the team's 355 yards through the air. This week the Raiders meet a surprising Buffalo defense that has allowed less than 100 yards per game and just one touchdown on the ground. Oh, by the way, starter Justin Fargas is out and Darren McFadden is hobbled with turf toe. Buffalo should go 3-0.
Kansas City at Atlanta
Kansas City's defense has been torched on the ground this year and Atlanta's best player at the moment just happens to be the running back. Add to that the fact that Tyler Thigpen is starting and things don't look good for the Chiefs.
Cincinnati at New York Giants
The Giants put on a show against a very weak St. Louis Rams defense last week and the Bengals aren't much better. Carson Palmer has to play better simply because he can't play much worse.
Miami at New England
This could be Matt Cassel's true coming out party. Miami's secondary has gotten torched for 545 yards and 5 touchdowns through two weeks.
Houston at Tennessee
The Titans's two-headed monster of Chris Johnson and LenDale White should have no problem with the mediocre Houston defense.
Washington at ArizonaWashington has a much better secondary than the Dolphins, who Warner and company embarassed last week, and Arizona's defense is much better than they're given credit for, especially against the run, making this an intriguing game between two teams forgotten in their own divisions.
Tampa Bay at ChicagoTwo teams with strong running games and question marks at quarterback. The one key difference: The Bears have a strong defense. The Bucs do not.
New Orleans at Denver
Jay Cutler must be salivating about this matchup after what he did to a secondary much better than New Orleans' last week. Jeremy Shockey should have a good game as the Broncos seem to have trouble guarding tight ends, but it won't be enough to save the Saints.
Detroit at San FranciscoSan Francisco pulled out a win against an injury-plagued Seattle team. That doesn't make them good. But Detroit is far worse.
St. Louis at SeattleMatt Hasselbeck really has no one to throw to these days, but as long as the Seattle defense can get to Marc Bulger, the offense should be able to do enough to get a win.
Cleveland at Baltimore
Derek Anderson's nightmarish season doesn't figure to get much better against the Ravens, who gave up just 84 passing yards to Carson Palmer in week one and are well-rested after the unexpected bye last week, thanks to Hurricane Ike.
