Let the bashing begin. A lot of surprising outcomes in week one resulted in a 2-4 record for my feature predictions and a 7-8 record for the week. The real shame is I actually forgot to include my prediction for the Seattle/Detroit game. I had Seattle for that one which would have put me at an even .500 for the week. A look at this weeks predictions.

Featured Predictions

N.Y.Giants at Phildadelphia: Sunday 1:00pm

You have to feel for the Giants. They are a great team but they have a really tough schedule playing and it doesn't get any easier visiting Philly. Donte' Stallworth was dynamite in against Houston last week and now being fully familiar with the Philly playbook, look for the McNabb-Stallworth connection to be the difference here.

Prediction: Philadelphia by a touchdown.

Kansas City at Denver: Sunday 4:15pm

This will be a battle of two great teams that had terrible starts to their season in the AFC West. Denver should get back to their winning ways, but this game will be close. After this game, hopefully fans in Denver will get their head on straight and restore their confidence in Jake Plummer.

Prediction: Denver by a field goal.

Washington at Dallas: Sunday 8:15pm

Fans in Dallas are already hitting the panic button after week one. If history means anything, week one is usually never an indication of things to come. Bill Parcells doesn't panic and nobody on the team has lost their confidence in their coach. Look for a Dallas win here but it will be another close one.

Prediction: Dallas by a field goal

Pittsburgh at Jacksonville: Monday: 8:30pm

Big Ben is the X-Factor in this game. Jacksonville will have a shot if he doesn't get the nod, but even with Charlie Batch in the starting QB, no doubt Pittsburgh can get it done.

Prediction: Pittsburgh by 10 points.

New England over N.Y. Jets

After Week 1: Featured: 2-4 (.333) Overall: 7-8 (.467)
