Hou @ NE - close early but Brady to pull away in the 2nd half. Pats by around 10.

Bal @ Den - I expect Denver to be able to keep them at arms length all game (10 or so clear) on the back of some good defence.

GB @ 49ers - We played terrible in the first game and lost by 8 I think. We finally have all our recievers back and our defensive guys too and now have something that resembles a run game. One concern is protecting Rodgers. Give Barclay and Newhouse help and Rodgers can beat the LB's & DB's. I think we can hold up ok against Kap. Packers by 7.

Sea @ Atl - Seattle by 10. Seattle D should have success against Ryan. I can't see Atlanta successfully stopping Lynch which sets up PA and Wilson to use his athleticism.

Which - if successful - then sets up the play action for the likes of White and Jones to get some single coverage down the field.

Defensively, we have been poor against the run at times so the threat of Lynch does worry me. Seattle's receivers however, don't. Would be quite happy to see us play 8 in the box and make Wilson try to throw the ball, let Abraham and Biermann push him up into the pocket where his lack of size will hurt him.

Last night showed why I don't like the option in the Pros. You want to put your QB out there as a runner. Be my guest, the guys going to get hit hard and will accumulate injuries.

Not been the same since that freak collision with Ngata. Alot of people harp on about his great character but comes across as a tad arrogant to me. I would love to see Suh dump him to the ground.
