RJ's Pick: Brett Favre 1 compound fracture, Rodney Harrison 1 new Bugatti Veyron
RJ's Pick: New England by 2
8:15 p.m. - Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) @ Cleveland Browns (0-1) [Line: Pittsburgh by 5.5]
The Steelers beat the Texans last week. RB Willie Parker rushed for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns. QB Ben Roethlisberger had a pretty good game himself, completing 13 of 14 passes for 137 yards, 2 TDs, and no INTs. Cleveland lost at home to the Cowboys in Week One. It was a generally poor performance by all involved; however, to give the Browns some credit, they managed not to turn the ball over even once.
RJ's Pick: Pittsburgh by 11
*Monday September 15, 2008*
8:30 p.m. - Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) @ Dallas Cowboys (1-0) [Line: Dallas by 7]
Philadelphia throttled the Rams last week. QB Donovan McNabb was excellent, completing 21 of 33 passes for 361 yards and 3 TDs. RB Brian Westbrook added 91 yards on the ground, as well as two TDs, one rushing and one receiving. Dallas abused the Browns last Sunday, 28-10. QB Tony Romo completed 24 of 32 passes for 321 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. This is a solid MNF matchup, but I gotta go with the home team.
RJ's Pick: Dallas by 10

I'll be 11-5 going into week 2.
My predictions are...
1. The Pack wins over the Lions
2. The Cheifs take out Oakland
3. Gaints easily beat the Rams
4. The Vikings will redeem themselves and Colts will start out 0-2
5. Titans squeek one out against the Bengals
6. The Redskins beat the highly over rated Saints (the Gaints scored points in the air but beat them on the run, where NO is weaker IMO)
7. Carolina wins over the Bears at home
8. The Jags kill off Bills fans hope for the season
9. Seattle crushes the 49er's
10. The Falcons upset the Bucs at home.
11. The Jets are finally able to win two games in a row.
12. The Cards beat out the Fins
13. Denver will be the second underdog team to upset the Bolts
14. Steelers dominate the Browns
15. Dallas wins at home
16. The Texans also win one at home

Note:
The Baltimore Ravens @ Houston Texans game was canceled, and rescheduled for November 9th, due to Hurricane Ike. Reliant Stadium was apparently severely damaged in the storm. So, this will count as the "bye week" for both the Ravens and the Texans.
