What to Watch For in Week 2

Here's what to watch for in Week 2...
- The Patriots vs. Jets rivalry takes center stage on NFL Network's Thursday Night Football. The Patriots struggled with consistency against Buffalo and will be without wide receiver Danny Amendola, running back Shane Vereen, and tight end Zach Sudfeld. Meanwhile the Jets are probably overly confident after their fluke victory against Tampa Bay. Rex Ryan has probably been running his mouth behind closed doors. This should be a good game, Patriots win.
- Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a subpar performance against an underrated Panthers defense. But this week he faces a far better 49ers defense. Both teams are fighting to win the NFC West.
- How Atlanta bounces back from their Week 1 loss to the Saints. This week they host a very tough Rams team that boasts a much more disciplined and aggressive defense. Steven Jackson spent his first 9 seasons in St. Louis and for the first time in his career he's on the opposite sideline. One has to think he'll be running with a little something extra in his step.
- How far Cleveland has to go before becoming a threat in the AFC North. The Steelers are on the decline and Baltimore is still second best in the division, but the Browns time is coming. Brandon Weeden isn't the answer but there are still plenty of pieces in place to have an ok season, by Cleveland standards.

Game to Watch: Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers - These are the only two teams that have coaches who are more energized and more pumped up than their players. The Seahawks are looking to knock the 49ers and win the NFC West this year, it won't be easy. The way I see it, this rivalry is only beginning. Look for this game to very physical with lots of trash talking and maybe some extra shoves after the whistles. If you like smash mouth, in your face football, then don't miss this Sunday night game.
