Cardinals-Ravens

Young Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart faces perhaps the
toughest challenge of his career going on the road against one of the best
defenses. Leinart was more comfortable in his second game of the year, a 23-20
win over Seattle and part of a 6-1
Sunday NFL by GodsTips.com. A major reason was that head coach Ken Whisenhunt simplified the playbook from week one.

49ers-Steelers

Both teams are 2-0 but San Francisco
has won their two games by a combined four points, while the Steelers have won
each game by 20 points. However, NFL
guru Mike Godsey reminds, “The Steelers pulverized a bad and injury riddled
Bills team last week.” Pittsburgh
has allowed a combined 10 points, which is 10 fewer than any other team. Pittsburgh
is 11-1 their last 12 straight up in interconference
games.

Colts-Texans

Going back to last year, the Texans have won four in a
row. Houston will likely be without
their best receiver Andre Johnson. He has 14 catches for 262 yards and three
touchdowns.

Chargers-Packers

Green Bay is
2-0 after starting out 1-4 each of the last three seasons. Head coach Mike McCarthy believes adjustments
made in training camp, which called for more rest and recovery time, is a major
reason. However, 13 players missed all or part of practice Wednesday.

Rams-Buccaneers

Last year during a wave of injuries to the offensive line,
St. Louis won 4-of-5. Nevertheless, they are 0-2 this year and
their offensive line is banged up. Seven time Pro
Bowler Orlando Pace is out, guard Rich Incognito is doubtful, plus ace backup
guard and tackle Todd Steussie is out. Quarterback
Marc Bulger has been limited in practice because of sore ribs.

Cowboys-Bears

Dallas has
scored the most points in the league with 82, though are fourth in yards. Chicago
has allowed the fourth fewest points and fifth fewest yards. Chicago
has won 13-of-15 at home holding 12 of those teams to 10 or fewer points. Their
defense though has the third fewest yards and fourth fewest points. Dallas
will again be without starting wide receiver Terry Glenn.

Titans-Saints

New Orleans is
0-2 but this is their home opener. Tennessee
has won seven of their last nine games, but one of their losses a close one to Indianapolis
22-20 last week.

Panthers-Falcons

Atlanta has
scored just 10 points in an 0-2 start and Joey
Harrington has been sacked 13 times. Atlanta
did sign former Jacksonville
starting quarterback Byron Leftwich, but according to coach
Bobby Petrino, Leftwich will be the No. 3 quarterback
until he learns the offense. Harrington
is 23-45 as a starting quarterback.

Vikings-Chiefs

Kansas City
will be without starting wide receiver Eddie Kennison.
Rookie Dwayne Bowe gets the nod. Minnesota
running back Chester Taylor did not practice Wednesday. Minnesota
quarterback Tavaris Jackson missed practice Wednesday
nursing a sore groin. Betting expert Stevie Vincent said expect little line
movement based on who the Vikings starting quarterback is. “Jackson
is quarterback of the future, but he’s certainly shaky in the present.” Minnesota
has incredibly lost 12-of-13 road games to the AFC.

KC is 2-5 this decade on home openers as each of their
first two games were on the road and both losses. The good news is Chiefs
starting quarterback Damon Huard is 6-0 all-time as a
starter in KC and his passer rating is 107.3. KC’s defense ranks eighth in the
league and will be buoyed by the return of defensive end Jarred Allen who
served a two-game suspension. KC is 20-4 outright at home to the NFC since 1995,
the league’s best mark under such paramemters.

Lions-Eagles

Philadelphia
star running back Brian Westbrook did not practice Wednesday because of a knee
injury. We are keeping an eye as well on Detroit
running back Kevin Jones who also missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury.
Philadelphia will also have to deal
with the distraction (or rallying cry) on Donovan McNabb’s outspoken comments
on HBO. Philly has won four straight in the series by a combined 122-76.

Giants-Redskins

Giants quarterback Eli Manning appears recovered from his
shoulder injury, but starting running back Brandon Jacobs is out. Derrick Ward
gets the start.

Dolphins-Jets

Each team is 0-2. Jets starting quarterback Chad
Pennington is nursing an ankle injury and his status will be determined later
in the week. His replacement Kellen Clemens struggled
in the first three quarters last week, but nearly led the Jets back from a 20-3
fourth quarter deficit. OffshoreInsiders.com
Senior Handicapper Stevie Vincent said this game looks to be the
strongest betting game on the board. He will release a Level 5 play on this
game. Pennington is 6-1 to Miami
including 4-0 at Giants Stadium.

Bills-Patriots

New England has beaten the Jets and
Chargers by identical 38-14 routs. On the other hand, Buffalo
has one touchdown this year in two losses and has been outscored 41-17. New
England is 12-1 the last 13 straight up in the series.

Bengals-Seahawks

Seattle has
won 10-of-12 straight up to the NFC, including 5-1 on the road. But Cincinnati
has lost three straight road games overall since last year, allowing an average
of 36.3 points per game. Seattle is
27-6 at Qwest Field since 2003, the best home mark in the league during that
span.
