Cowboys 27-10 over the Seahawks

I'm quite the prognosticator

Congrats Vegas, your boys made my 'Boys look like total shit.

I'm getting unconfirmed reports that the Cowboys have just showed up NOW to face the Seahawks

Typical let down game from Dallas...I do believe it's the coach's job to keep the players focused and remind them that despite the huge win over the G-Women in week 1, there are still 15 games left!

Undisciplined play in week 1 & a total lack of focus in week 2...already in mid-season form!

(And this is coming from the guy who's kid's middle name is Dallas!)

THE BUZZ: The buzz this week surrounds 4 powerhouses in a mini-battle for early NFC supremecy. Bears @ Packers and Lions @ Niners.

BIGGEST WINNERS -

Clay Matthews - Packers getting WAY too much credit for a game basically won and lost by 2 guys; Clay Matthews and LT Jamarcus Webb. However, Matthews just cemented himself a Pro Bowl spot and probably spot on Madden 14, as fans will be reminded of that performance all season.

Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck drives his team down the field for the game winning FG in his home debut.

Arizona Cardinals - Factoid: Cards have now won 9 of their past 11 dating back to last season. Their D is the real deal, and Patrick Peterson is going to be the best CB in the league. Beating the Pats was no fluke.

St. Louis Rams - My BOLD ass pick of the week makes me look smart. Rams D is stiff competition for anyone, and over-whelmed the rookie Jesus RGIII. Next week the Rams get the Bears and an emotionally unstable Jay Cutler. Upset alert part 2.

Seattle Seahawks - Huge win for the new looks Hawks. Russell Wilson looked good and Dallas could do nothing vs. the underrated Seattle defense. HUGE win over a team the nation was jocking just last week.

NFC West - Once the laughing stock of the league only a couple of years ago, sending a 7-9 Division Champion to the playoffs. This week the NFC West swept their opponents going 4-0 vs. the Redskins, Cowboys, Patriots and Lions. Not bad.

Philadelphia Eagles - That was a huge win over Baltimore that they desperately needed.


BIGGEST LOSERS -

Chicago Bears - So much for all that pre-season Super Bowl hoopla. Bears already scouting LT's coming out in the first round next year.

New Orleans Saints - Without bounties, players have no motivation, and nothing to play for.

Tampa Bay Bucs - Had the Giants defeated and let Eli sling his way back for another comeback win. They cheap shot him after the game.

Dallas Cowboys - Weeks like this make me think the NFC East gets a lot more hype than it deserves.


WASP TRAP LOCK OF THE WEEK: HUGE game tonight as two media favs clash in Lambeau and the Packers stand to lose their 3rd of 4 games there to the Bears. If the Bears win, the will be hoisted up by the media as Super Bowl bound. If the Packers lose they'll be buried in the NFC North already. HUGE, HUGE game. Precition: Packers win. Bears come back down to Earth a little in a close game.

TRUE 1-1

Added bonus BOLD ass prediction of the week: Rams find a W vs. Redskins. This is bold because the Skins seem to have an explosive offense and the Rams still have very little on offense, but I feel like this is a good match up for the Rams D. The Saints defense is one of the worst in the league, while the Rams have a good looking group of defenders all of a sudden. Could be a big wake up call for RG3.

TRUE 1-1

MNF Prediction - Falcons ruin Peyton's chance at 2-0. 24-23
