Week one was full of surprises and upsets, and they took their toll on week one’s Hognostications! The 49ers take first place, followed by the Saints and Miami.<\/p>\n
New England at Carolina <\/b>
\nThe Panthers will try and rebound from a tough loss to the Saints, but they will fall short. The loss of DT Kris Jenkins is huge. Look for Dillon to have a big day.
\nPick – Patriots<\/i><\/p>\n
Detroit at Chicago <\/b>
\nThe Lions will face a raucous crowd at Soldier Field and will lose, as the Bears defense continues to play well.
\nPick – Bears<\/i><\/p>\n
Minnesota at Cincinnati <\/b>
\nCulpepper will rebound from his worst performance as a pro and the Vike’s defense will improve.
\nPick – Vikings<\/i><\/p>\n
Pittsburgh at Houston <\/b>
\nAlthough they’ve matched up well in the past, the Texans are in for a long day.
\nPick – Steelers<\/i><\/p>\n
Jacksonville at Indianapolis <\/b>
\nThe Colts defense really looked good against the Ravens. Has Dungy finally fixed it? Combine a good defense with that great offense and the Pats and other pretenders better look out.
\nPick – Colts<\/i><\/p>\n
San Francisco at Philadelphia <\/b>
\nThe Eagles will make up for Monday night’s loss and punish the 9ers.
\nPick – Eagles<\/i><\/p>\n
Buffalo at Tampa Bay <\/b>
\nCadillac’s ride wasn’t that rough after all. Gruden will continue to ride his Cadillac until the wheels come off.
\nPick – Bucs<\/i><\/p>\n
Baltimore at Tennessee <\/b>
\nJamal Lewis will have a huge day, as Anthony Wright gets his first start in 32 months replacing an injured Kyle Boller.
\nPick – Ravens<\/i><\/p>\n
St. Louis at Arizona <\/b>
\nHere are two teams looking for their first win of the season. Arizona’s running game is dismal thanks to a work-in-progress offensive line. Warner will be forced to try and score through the air and will pay the price with sacks and turnovers.
\nPick – Rams<\/i><\/p>\n
Atlanta at Seattle <\/b>
\nThe Falcons defense looked very impressive at home against the Egirls. Don’t expect that to change on the road against the Seagulls. Hasselbeck is in for another rough day.
\nPick – Falcons<\/i><\/p>\n
San Diego at Denver <\/b>
\nMarty won’t forget to use his workhorse LT this week. Denver is ailing on defense after losing to the lowly fish. Chump won’t start, but it wouldn’t matter anyway.
\nPick – Chargers<\/i><\/p>\n
Cleveland at Green Bay <\/b>
\nFavre will get to prove he can indeed win without Javon Walker.
\nPick – Packers<\/i><\/p>\n
Miami at New York Jets <\/b>
\nThe Jets can’t be that bad can they?
\nPick – Jets<\/i><\/p>\n
Kansas City at Oakland <\/b>
\nThe Chiefs can’t be that good can they? Turner will find a way to lose another, as the Chiefs defense proves it’s for real. Lack of discipline and penalties will continue to plague the Raiders.
\nPick – Chiefs<\/i><\/p>\n
New Orleans Saints at New York Giants <\/b>
\nThe Gnats won’t take the Saints lightly and will take advantage of the schedule change.
\nPick – Giants<\/i><\/p>\n
Washington at Dallas <\/b>
\nDoes the Hognosticator pick with his head or his heart? His heart of course! The Skins show more heart and win. Trust in Gibbs!
\nPick – Redskins<\/i><\/p>\n
Last Week’s Results:<\/b>\t7-9
\nSeason To Date:<\/b>\t7-9<\/p>\n
