It will be interesting to see whether the Bears can maintain the momentum of their comeback win at San Francisco on Sunday night.
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
They dominated on the road in the second half, aided by some gaffes from Colin Kaepernick of course but still. It was just the kind of rebound performance Chicago needed after dropping their home opener to Buffalo.
This is a real good opportunity to get another win if they are healthy enough to do so.
It is nice to see that the receivers, the engine of this club, are not on the injured list coming into this week.
The Jets don’t have the same kind of secondary they have had in the past and I expect that Jay Cutler will be able to find some cracks on one side or the other and make some plays.

The fact that the Jets have a strong run defense is likely to be a complete moot issue.
The Jets may only be 1-1 but they are leading in two generally important categories – rushing yards and rushing yards allowed. Nobody considers this team a real threat so it will be interesting if that trend continues and the results are middling, yet a further indication of the NFL being all about the forward pass.
The Jets have shown to be competitive in both of their contests and that is a trend that I do expect to continue throughout the course of the season.
The to this one for New York is going to be playing with a lead.
This is not a team built for catchup but if they are out in front they can be methodical with their offense and stay committed to moving it on the ground Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson and even QB Geno Smith sometimes.

The minute they have to depend on passing game they are in trouble, especially is Eric Decker can’t answer the bell.
Love the value on Chicago here. I would have made them the favourite or at least a pick’em for this one.
NFL Total Score prediction: Chicago 27 – New York 17
The cushion is nice but I would look strongly at the ML on the Bears as well.

The Vikings lost their top offensive playmaker for an indefinite period of time Friday when Adrian Peterson was indicted in Texas on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child. The team will now lean on backup Matt Asiata, and rookie Jerick McKinnon to carry the load.
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
That’s a significant blow to a Viking offense that relied so heavily on Peterson to move the football. The 2012 NFL MVP gives way to Asiata, who ran for 115 yards in the season finale a year ago when Peterson sat with a sprained foot, but he’s just a between-the-tackles plodder who lacks explosiveness.
The rookie, McKinnon, is the more explosive player, who has the ability to make big plays with his speed and athleticism.
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
That won’t serve the team well Sunday as McKinnon will cede early touches to Asiata, and the Patriots surely won’t give him a lot of room to operate.
That’s also going to put a lot more pressure on Matt Cassel to accomplish something through the air. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick knows Cassel well from their time together in New England, and he’ll surely put together a game plan that will exploit Cassel’s weaknesses.
As for the Patriots, they had a tough start to their year, dropping their opener in Miami against the division rival Dolphins. The team’s offensive line did a poor job in front of Tom Brady, which really limited the effectiveness of the team’s offense.
They should arrive in Minnesota better prepared, and can be expected to make some noise against a Vikings secondary that is easily exploited through the air.

The Patriots were always the pick in this one. When the Peterson news first broke, the Patriots were three-point favorites. After oddsmakers took the line off the board for a brief time, they reintroduced it at 3.5 points, and when Peterson was officially made inactive, it was bumped up to a full seven points.
The line movement and the actions of the oddsmakers would indicate that the sharps are on the Vikings, and while that may be so, the Patriots are just so much better than the Vikings that it’s impossible to consider any other play.
The Patriots are 32-13-1 ATS in their last 46 games following a loss.
The under is 12-2 in the Vikings’ last 14 Week 2 games, and it is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these teams.
