Divisional Leaders:
Baltimore @ Tennessee - If Baltimore plays against Tennessee like they did Pittsburgh, they should have no problem achieving a 2-0 record going into week 3. Ravens run game is solid but I'd like to see Flacco achieve a 400 yard passing game.
Arizona @ Washington - Rex Grossman is known for being consistently inconsistent. Both teams are 1-0, Arizona is going to take this one by surprise. Although, this is most likely a biased decision.
Dallas @ San Fransisco - Dallas should have no problems smashing this team especially after their performance last Sunday in NY. Dallas defense is solid. Romo needs to make better decisions. Note to Romo: If the team is winning, you're in the red zone, it's 3rd and goal, throw the ball away and terminate the play if it starts to go awry. DO NOT, under any circumstances, make a dash for the goal line. Terminate the play and allow special teams to get 3 points. 
Oakland @ Buffalo - According to ESPN, Ryan Fitzpatrick is their highest rated quarterback. It'll be interesting to see if Buffalo can beat Oakland. If they win, and Fitzpatrick puts up numbers again, you may have to start looking at them. Also, Fred Jackson had a 112 yards rushing. 
Cleveland @ Indy - If Indy doesn't win this game....... their season is over and they are officially a lower tier team. It's crazy how much of a difference losing 1 player means.
Tampa Bay @ Min - I know McNabb can throw for more than 39 yards in 4 quarters.
New England Patriots (1-0)
The Steelers' inability to run the ball contributed to the loss. The Ravens defense forced the Steelers to play in a one dimensional offense the entire game. The Steelers were only able to produce 57 total yards rushing compared to the Ravens 170 yards rushing. Ray Rice had a good game contributing 107 rushing yards to the offense and Ricky Williams rushed for 63. The Steelers have a lot of adjustments to make if they want to see the playoffs again this season. If they keep playing like this, Baltimore will be the only playoff team in the AFC North.
Steelers at Ravens - This is an important game for both teams early on. This game could decide who is the AFC North Division leader and who gets to the playoffs via wild card. A close one but the Steelers will come away with the win. The Ravens cannot beat Ben Roethlisberger. 
And of course the prime time game the Cowboys at NY Jets. This is an important game, this will let us know how good the Cowboys are going to be this season. I'm not sure about this match up. The Jets could easily take this win no problem with their defense alone. This victory depends on how well the the Cowboys defense holds up.
Maryland doesn't play again until next week but is should be a good game. Even though Maryland is undefeated they still can't rank. These are only AP rankings. There is also USA Today rankings that Maryland also isn't on. I usually look at the AP rankings, it's a matter of preference. Neither media outlet is more credible than the other when ranking college football teams. That task is handled by a computer on week 8. This is called the BCS standings where they use a computer to determine who goes to the BCS Championship and other various bowl games.
