Man, this game will be tough. It is the home opener, and the fans will be very supportive of Cam. I dont see the defense being able to stop Green Bay, so I dont expect to win. My goal for this game would be to see Cam progress by doing OK against arguably the best defense in the game. I would love to see 200 yards passing, at least a 50% completion rate, and no more INT's than TD's. This si a huge learning curve, and he simply cannot repeat last weeks performance against the best. But I will be very happy to take a solid performance where he shows his skills, and keeps proving he can be a very good NFL QB.

The Colts game should tell us a lot about how the season is going to pan out. Collins had a another week to learn the offense and we are playing at home against one of the worst teams in the NFL. The defense is going to be missing a starter or two which doesnt help since they are not good with all their starters.

I think Monday Night will be interesting. The majority in Vegas seem to be on the Giants.

Lots of line movement this week, typical of Week Two though as the bookies figure out who the public likes and does not.

Funny that CAR gained a full point at some books on GB. I like Cam Newton probably more than the next guy, but he is not going to put up even 225 yards against Green Bay and their defense is toastable unless Chris Gamble plays his A game every snap, which he never does.

Newton and the Panthers look great, Pack are flat and overconfident.

Chiefs are just miserable. Three personal foul calls in two plays, followed by a Calvin Johnson TD catch where the safety never even thought about helping even though the TE stayed in.

Some of these roughing the passer calls are ridiculous. One in GB, one in CHI, one in DET.

Bad news for fantasy geeks:
Jamaal Charles out with a leg/hip injury and "is not expected to return". He overextended his leg running OOB and landed on the first down flag thingie and it slipped his hip out a little further.

Yea, that pretty much screws me in two leagues.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Bears getting serious homer calls in New Orleans. Two absolutely awful calls and the Saints are really off about it.

I feel worse for the Chiefs. That's the second big injury to their key player.

Colts offense looking MUCH better this game. Collins and the o-line both seem like they are catching on quickly. Just need to get TD's instead of FG's. Defense looks ok, especially for missing our staring MLB.

Mangold limping off, we really can't afford to lose him.

Cam Newton already has 150 plus and a TD. Got his team to the red zone 3 times. 13-0 over the defending champs.

Brees to Devery Henderson on a work of art to beat Cover 2.

Raiders looking solid, Vikings too. Tampa looks nothing like last year's plucky team.
