Houston vs. Tennessee
Tennessee lost in the longest NFL game in memory, and maybe even history. In doing so, they lost three players for the game and one for the season. I think Tennessee is a good roster, but their questionable passing game just got put in the On Deck circle for 'bad'. Throw in a rookie Head Coach and I feel like they are in for a long season. Here's hoping for a few more completely painless and no long-term effect having season-ending injuries.

Houston by four


Indianapolis vs. Washington
No way is Washington that good, just not buying it. And I don't think Indy was that bad either but I could be wruh-wruh-wruh-wrong. I'm still not buying the Washington Defense so I think Indianapolis takes this one even though AP probably has himself a day. I'm hopeful that the tape of this game will allow for a pretty good gameplan when the boys line up against Indy in a few weeks.

Indianapolis by a number greater than zero.


Jacksonville vs. New England
While confidence abounds about the boys chances in this game, I've been jaded by these matchups to the point where I just assume New England will find a way to win. I expect Jacksonville to come out with a great game plan and move the ball well versus this team. Then for Belichik to do what Belichik does and adjust on the fly to the game and pull out a win. It's not what I want to happen, but it is what I think will happen.

New England by three. Damn you for making me write that.
