NFL Week 2 Preview

(note: I'm editing one pick on Saturday, removing Bengals/Ravens from my Stone Cold Picks since it's already in my upset pick, and replacing it with the Cowboys)

Storylines
* Manning Bowl: It's Peyton vs. little brother Eli as the Colts host the Giants.
* Controversy in Philly? All Michael Vick needed was a chance, and he got that chance last week showing he gives the Eagles the best chance to win.
* Quarterback injuries already stacking up: Eagles' Kevin Kolb, Lions' Matthew Stafford, Browns' Jake Delhomme, and Panthers' Matt Moore all got hurt last week and are at best questionable this week.
* 0-2? Top teams that lost Week 1: Colts, Vikings, 49ers, Chargers, Falcons, Cowboys. Falcons, Vikings, Chargers, and Cowboys all win. 49ers will fall to 0-2. I'm not picking the Colts' game here.
* Hot Seat: Eric Mangini will be the first coach fired, during the Browns' bye week (Halloween). The Bears' Lovie Smith will be fired November 15.

Key Matchups:
- Patriots @ Jets: These teams really hate each other. Will big-mouth Jets go 0-2 and fall 2 games behind Pats? Revis vs. Moss?
- Giants @ Colts: see above
- Ravens @ Bengals: big AFC North matchup

What to Watch For:
- QB: Eagles' Michael Vick scores at least 3 touchdowns (passing or running).
- RB: Giants' Ahmad Bradshaw runs for 100 yards and a touchdown.
- WR: Randy Moss scores two touchdowns.
- DF: Titans keep Steelers under 11 points.
(last week: Favre 1/1 TD/INT check, Johnson 142 yards rushing check, Bolding did not score but had 110 yards, push, Jaguars allowed 89 yards rushing check = 3-0-1)

Upset Alert:
- Chiefs (again) over Browns
- Bengals over Ravens
last week 2-0 (Ravens and Chiefs)

Stone Cold Picks:
- Patriots over Jets. On a bad day, the Patriots high-powered would score 20 points. Jets are not scoring more than 17.
- Titans over Steelers. Titans offense dominated last week, this week the defense will. Steelers only had 9 before overtime against a crappy Falcons D a week ago.
- Chargers over Jaguars. Short week for the Chargers, but coming home after an embarrassing loss, against a team from 3000 miles away I'll take the Bolts.
- Cowboys over Bears. Bears already got their win. Cowboys are not losing their home opener to go 0-2.
(last week = 3-2)

When will they win their next (or first) game? Not before...
* Rams: Week 4
* Lions: Week 5
* Bears: Week 7
* Bucs: Week 7
* Bills: Week 9
* Browns: Week 12
