Game predictions and preview: Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles


The Kansas City Chiefs will take part in one of the most fascinating games of the week on NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football," in large part because it will be interesting to see how the emotion of Andy Reid's return to Philadelphia -- where he coached so many of the players still on the Eagles' roster -- will impact everyone.

Here's why I think the Chiefs have a pretty good chance to get to 3-0: The Eagles' defense is awful right now, arguably the worst in the NFL (ranked 30th in yards allowed), and it is particularly terrible against the pass. It seems pretty clear from the first two weeks of action that every Eagles game is likely to be a shootout. They beat the Redskins by jumping all over them early, and then hanging on for dear life. The defense fell apart against the San Diego Chargers, though, and the Eagles lost.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs boast a top-tier defense. If the unit can slow Philly's offensive assault -- especially early -- while Reid unleashes his own aerial attack, the Chiefs certainly could pull out a win on the road. They are a more balanced team than the Eagles.


Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles - Predictions

Ok, maybe this is the first serious match for predictions, after the opening series with 5:0, on the Patriots, and the Bengals. Kansas is in a great series of four consecutive wins, counting the pre-season matches. Philadelphia win over Redskins and lost to San Diego, but in both games his wasn't impressed me. In the last two games Philadelphia has won Kansas, so I think it's time for Kansas, lead by Smit, win.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals Preview and Predictions


The 2013 NFL season got off to a great start in Week one. The Cincinnati Bengals will play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers as both teams try to get back on the right track after tough Week one losses.

Big Ben and company will do all they can to rebound from a terrible loss against Tennessee. With Maurkice Pouncey likely out for quite a while, per Scott Brown of ESPN.com, that job just got a lot tougher. 

For Cincinnati, it's a similar story. It looked a lot better than its Week two opponents, but Andy Dalton will have to take better care of the ball if the Bengals want to find themselves at .500 after Week two.

Our predictions is:

Cinncinati won, with over 6 points difference between Pittsburgh

New England Patriots - New York Jets

8:25; Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass.


Jets rookie QB Geno Smith likely garnered confidence in beating the Bucs 18-17 on Sunday. Now New York catches a break with New England losing top rusher Shane Vereen to wrist surgery while top receiver Danny Amendola (groin) is questionable. 

But the Jets will be without WR/PR Jeremy Kerley. He sustained a concussion on Sunday's helmet-to-helmet hit by Bucs S Mark Barron. The Patriots needed a last-minute field goal to beat the Bills in Week 1, so this one might be tighter than expected as well.

For this game, my prediction is:

New England Patriots - New York Jets

New England - win less than 12 points difference, and this game is under 43 points in total
