Top 3 for Week 2

Week 2 can be the week that determine how well of a start do teams get off. 16 teams are 1-0, a 75% chance at making the playoffs. 16 teams are 0-1, a 25% chance at making the playoffs. Since 1990, 12 of the 16 teams that start off 1-0 will go to the playoffs while 4 of the 16 teams that start 0-1 will recover and make the playoffs.

1. Bears at Packers: Well the Bears are 1-0 and Packers are 0-1. This is a huge Thursday Night game at Lambeau and this could very well be a huge division win or lost for these teams. The Bears are trying to take a 2-game lead (2 1/2 because of winning one of the two regular season meetings) and for the Packers, being in 4th place in the NFC North wasn't in their plans this season.
2. Lions at 49ers: For the 49ers, last week's game at Lambeau could be the game that puts the NFL on notice: THIS TEAM IS FOR REAL. Dominating defensive performance against the Packers could set this team up for home-field in January. As for the Lions, a very dismal game against the Rams, are looking to show the world that they are not the Detroit Lions of old. Being that this is a Sunday Night Game, what other way to get the world to know your name by beating the 49ers at home after they came off of a dominating win at Lambeau. 
3. Saints at Panthers: For two teams that we're thought to be 1-2 in the NFC South, one of these teams could be last by the end of day on Sunday. With Falcons looking pretty dominate and the Bucs seem to have found their old-school defense, the Saints and Panthers could be in for a uphill battle if they lose. Cam Newton is looking to shake off his performance in Tampa with a performance similar to what newcomer RGIII did to this Saints D last week.

Top 3 Games To Look Out For In Week 1

Each week of the 2012 NFL Season, I'll come up with 3 games that I feel are important going into that current week.

1. 49ers at Packers
2. Steelers at Broncos
3. Bengals at Ravens

2012 Super Bowl Predictions

The two teams who will be in New Orleans on February 3rd, 2013 is:

AFC Champions: Baltimore Ravens

• For this team, I believe that this could be the final swan song for what will go down as one of the greatest defensive cores in NFL history. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed held this defense together for years and this could be the last season for one, if not both players.
• So close last season was this team from going to and playing in the Super Bowl. This season they should dominate as usual. 
• Joey Flacco must become the leader for this team if they have any chance at getting to the Super Bowl. After watching Eli Manning take more control for the Giants last season, Flacco must be able to take the next step and have himself a career season.
• If the Ravens can get Terrell Suggs back at least 70-80%, this team could be back in the Super Bowl just like that.

NFC Champions: San Francisco 49ers

• With a team that's return every starter from last year's lights-out Defense, this team reloaded on offensive this year and could be one of the deepest teams in the NFL this season.
• Can the young WR's and Randy Moss make this 49ers offensive a little more explosive then it was last year? If they can, this team is a lock to the Super Bowl.
• Alex Smith must and I mean MUST continue to improve as he might be asked to win more games for the 49ers this season. I believe he had a good postseason last year and would need to pull off another performance like he did against the Saints in the playoffs to get this team into the Super Bowl.
• Well playing in one of the weakest divisions in the NFL be an advantage or disadvantage to this 49ers team. Competition in the season could be the fuel that sets this team off and go on a tear, if motivated throughout the season.

Winner: Baltimore Ravens
