I predict the Seahawks will destroy the Bears this weekend. Take the Hawks and give the points. Bet it big. Don't dwell on the 15 point spread.

Even without Romo and Dez I feel like Dallas has enough talent to give Atlanta a lot of trouble. I'm expecting another close one. We're going to be without Coleman unfortunately. He looked awesome so far and Freeman isn't the same kind of back.

Potentially huge game tonight for the Skins. Win and we got ourselves a season. NY has always been a house of horrors for us though, and the Giants are gonna be desperate as hell to not fall to 0-3, but I think we matchup well and have a pretty good chance.

Tonight's game will end one of two ways:

- The Giants will win, barely, but salvage some sort of chance for their season to pan out.

Or...

- The Giants lose, and you will all get to see me on national newscasts because I booked a flight to Jersey, and killed Ben McAdoo with my bare hands.

This NYG/WAS game is brutal. Cousins is horrible but the Giants can't score. 18-6 in 4Q

I'm happy they finally held onto the game (though they made their best efforts to screw that up), but Christ on a crutch the offense becomes anemic in the red zone.

Eli has the ability to make some decent back shoulder and breadbox throws, but I don't know if it's the system that kills his psyche, or what, but it's so frustrating. It seems like the only time they'll be able to score TDs is on long throws where ODB makes an insane catch or Randle gets lucky on a busted play since he doesn't separate very well.

I guess there's a little upside going into Buffalo next week, being as Cruz is coming back, but who knows how he'll look.

I just wish they'd give Jennings the bulk of the carries with Vereen getting the split, instead of Andre Williams. Sure, Williams is a more physical back, but his vision behind the line is god awful. Jennings has shown that if he can stay between the tackles, that he can provide 4-7 yards on just about every carry.

The next four games will pretty much make or break the season: @Bills, Niners (this is the Sunday night game in Week 5... sorry everyone), @Iggles, and Cowboys. They can win three of those if the offense works out the late drive kinks, and the defense stays... uh... serviceable.

Vintage Redskins last night. No matter what, we don't show up to play vs. the Giants, we just throw up all over ourselves. New season, same old story. Absolutely pathetic.

I'm happy we won, but that game was like torture. Felt like I was watching a high school game.

This game screams letdown for the Atlanta Falcons.
I'm going to stay as positive as possible and hope we win another game.

I'll take the Falcons. If Dallas can beat a good team with Weeden and no Dez Bryant, I'll be impressed.

I wouldn't be surprised if all teams have a win by week 5. The 0-16 we keep hearing about doesn't look like it'll happen this year.

I'd argue New York-San Fransisco excites me as much as Denver-Detroit.
