MrMet's Week #2 with write-ups

St Louis at Washington -9.5 (Bought 1/2 Point)

 The Redskins played well against the giants last week. Jason Campbell had a 73% comp percentage, I expect him to continue to have success against the Rams who allowed almost 450 yards on defense last week. Expect Portis to have a great game with the run, which should open up holes for the passing game. The Redskins should put up at least 24 points in this game.

The Rams offense played poorly last week, While bulger did not throw an Int, he still looked poor, with a low completion % and no Td’s. The Rams have some good players on offense with Jackson and Avery, but bulger’s production seems that it will continue to falter. The redskins have a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball, with good coaching and execution this defense can be one of the best in the NFC. They did allow 250 yards through the air last week, but that was against Eli manning and the giants. This week they should do better against a weaker offensive team. Don’t expect the rams to put up more than 14 points in this game.

Saints -1 at Eagles

 Without McNabb I don’t expect the eagles offense to do as well, the saints have an average defense, but they should be able to limit the eagles offense with Kolb at the helm. Last week the Saints allowed 27 points, but only allowed 33 on the ground, which isn’t saying to much since they played the lions.

Drew Brees and this saints offense is going to be setting records this season, they have a solid running game, Colston, Moore, Shockey, and a wild card with reggie bush. Drew bree’s threw for six TD’s last week but that was against the lions, regardless he still played well. The eagles will be tested this week without their QB and against a top offensive team. Picking the saints at –1 is the play, this game may be close but the saints will most likely come out on top in this one.

Raiders +3 at Chiefs

Last week the raiders proved something, they are not the same old raiders. They played solid defense the whole game. The chiefs put up some really good numbers against supposedly a top ravens defensive team. And this week Cassel will most likely return. But I expect the raiders defense to win on this side of the ball. The Chiefs could not run the ball last week and the raiders can stop the run. They will shut down the chiefs #1 receiver with one man and the Chiefs will not be able to muster up that many points this week. I expect them to score 13 or less points in this game.

The Raiders offense is not the greatest. They have some serious issues at QB with Russell, he is very inaccurate but still has time to develop. One thing this offense has going for them is their running game. They have 3 solid backs with Mcfadden, Bush, and Fargas. For the raiders to be successful against the chiefs they must run the ball, the good thing is the chiefs allowed 198 yards rushing last week. So expect the running game to open things up for Russell in this game. The raiders should win this game by at least 4 points.

Vikings -9.5 at Lions

Last week Favre made his Vikings debut and had an average game, one thing that will help him tremendously this year is Peterson. The Vikings offense will have no problem running on the lions who allowed 150+ yards on the ground last week. I expect the Vikings to put up at least 28 points in this game.

The lions offense did put up a lot of points last week, but they only had 33 yards on the ground, don’t expect them to get away with that again this week. The Vikings are gonna cause some problems for Stafford. I don’t expect the lions to do well on offense, at most the lions could put up 17 points.

The Vikings will win this game by at least 11 points.
