Jacksonville Jaguars at Chicago Bears
Chicago knows how good the offense will be while the Jags are rebuilding. Expect the Bears to come out and put up a lot of points with their second and third offensive teams. They should win this.

NFL Preseason Week 2 Predictions for Friday, Aug. 15
Philadelphia Eagles at New England Patriots
Philly hung 28 onto Chicago in the NFL Pre Season Week 1, but the Bears put up 34. New England? We know how Bill Belichick likes to keep things close to his chest during pre season. It’s all about the Eagles in this game. Prediction: Philadelphia EaglesTennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints
The Saints offense, first team, second team, third team, it doesn’t matter, can’t help but score. Tennessee has a much improved defense. At least it looked that way in Week 1. Toss-up, but the Saints are at home. Prediction: New Orleans SaintsDetroit Lions at Oakland Raiders
Neither team looked ready last week. Luckily, this is the NFL Pre Season. My guess is that Detroit’s going to be wound up just a bit tighter because they are the superior team, have more depth and played okay in their win over Cleveland while the Raiders just looked bad. Prediction: Detroit LionsSan Diego Chargers at Seattle Seahawks
Wow, San Diego looked good when beating Dallas 27 to 7. Seattle only lost 16 to 21 to a motivated Denver team on the road in Week 1. San Diego comes back down to earth; Pete gets his squad firing on all cylinders, and the ‘Hawks romp. Prediction: Seattle SeahawksNFL Preseason Week 2 Predictions for Saturday, Aug. 16
Green Bay Packers at St. Louis Rams
St. Louis hung 24 onto New Orleans in Week 1 only to lose while Green Bay looked sluggish versus the Titans. Still, the Packers figure to ratchet things up a bit during practice this week. They should squeeze out a win. Prediction: Green Bay PackersNew York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals
What a cool NFL Pre Season matchup between a $125 million dollar man in Cincy QB Andy Dalton and a really good looking Jets defense. Who are we kidding? Dalton figures to only play two series, right? I mean, $125M? You have to protect an investment like that. Prediction: New York JetsBaltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys
Baltimore was revved up for their Week 1 matchup versus San Francisco. They probably take a step back this week to evaluate some of their fringe players. Dallas has to improve after the San Diego spanking and they should. Prediction: Dallas CowboysNew York Giants at Indianapolis Colts
The Giants are looking to go 3 and 0 in the NFL Pre Season. Indianapolis played okay in their 10 to 13 loss to the Jets. I think the G-Men take a break this Saturday, evaluate some players, see who’s going to back up Rashad Jennings at RB and lose this one. Prediction: Indianapolis ColtsBuffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bills ran up against that NFL Pre Season juggernaut, the New York Giants, in their second game. Pitt lost to NYG as well. The Steelers are at home, which gives them an edge. Prediction: Pittsburgh SteelersMiami Dolphins at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
So far, from what I’ve seen, these two Florida squads could be mirror images of each other. I’m going to give the nod to Miami just because QB Josh McCown figures to be slightly better this week. Prediction: Tampa Bay BuccaneersAtlanta Falcons at Houston Texans
Houston just looked like a mess of a team in Week 1. The Falcons have the HBO guys from Hard Knocks following them all over the place. So, they’ll want to impress. Prediction: Atlanta FalconsArizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings
Arizona looked like it was Week 5 during the regular season in Week 1. They beat Houston 32 to 0. The Vikings, well, looked like a rebuilding team. The Cardinals should roll again. Prediction: Arizona CardinalsNFL Preseason Week 2 Predictions for Sunday, Aug. 17
Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49’ers
Niners’ coach Jim Harbaugh doesn’t like to push his guys during the NFL Pre Season. Denver figures to just go out and do what they always do, which should be enough for them to take home a victory on Sunday. Prediction: Denver BroncosKansas City Chiefs at Carolina Panthers
Kansas City scored 41 points against Cincinnati. Carolina scored 18 against Buffalo in an 18 to 20 loss. KC plays an offensive system that, like what they do in New Orleans, puts up points no matter who is at QB. KC should win this contest. Prediction: Kansas City ChiefsNFL Preseason Week 2 Predictions for Monday, Aug. 18
Cleveland Browns at Washington Redskins
Johnny Football vs. RGIII? Sure, this isn’t a real game, but it should still be fun for at least a half. Manziel actually looked okay versus Detroit in Week 1. He went 7 for 11 for 63 yards and he rushed 6 times for 27 yards. I think they beat Washington. Prediction: Cleveland Browns
