The 2014 NFL season is finally under way. We’re well aware that many of you either don’t want to shell out for new TVs, don’t
have bars near you that will carry the games you want to watch, or have one roadblock or another that prevents you from watching games.
If this sounds like you, keep reading, cause we’ll show you how to catch games this season using your PC or Mac.
Grab those jerseys people, it’s game time. First, here’s a brief primer on today’s games.
Both the Dolphins and Bills scored big wins in Week 1 against the Patriots and Bears, respectively. However,
one of these teams will walk away with a loss today.Dolphins running back Know-how More no had a big game against the Pats,
so look for him to have a nice again, especially considering that the Dolphins have been a run-heavy year the past several years.
It’s only a matter of time before the Bill's Sammy Watkins starts making big plays. The Bill's pass rush could be neutralized
if the fish stick to the run game.
The Lions wrecked the New York Giants in Week 1, and the Panthers got by the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
so both teams are both 1-0.The Panthers got by with backup quarterback Derek Anderson, but it looks like star QB Cam Newton
will start today. Look for him to have a big game on the ground and in the air. The Lions boast a big defensive line, and a big
offence. This could very well be a shoo tout, assuming that Newton eludes Detroit linesmen.
The Cowboys were embarrassed on national TV against the 49ers, but not because of what many expected to be an awful
defence. Quarterback Tony Romeo committed turnovers and played a sloppy game, so he’ll need to step up if Dallas hopes to
have a chance today.The Titans boast a rebuilt offensive line, along with a stable of capable running backs. Look for them to
pound the run against a depleted Dallas defence, which would also keep Romeo off the field, and points off the board for Dallas.

The Patriots dropped their opener to the Dolphins, so we expect Brady and company to take their frustrations out on the Vikings today.
That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll win though, and if their inability to stifle the Dolphin's running game last week is any indication,
the Viking's running game could do well today, It would be easy to say that Saints quarterback Drew Brees will have a freakish game today
and tear the Browns apart. However, the Browns boast an improved (though not elite) defence. More importantly, the Saints offence is
not the same on the road as it is at home.Nevertheless, we think Brees will do what he needs to do to get his team a win today.
The Saints are no doubt ticked off after dropping Week 1 against the Falcons. Look for them to do what they can to make up for that
today against Cleveland, who almost came back to beat the Pittsburgh Steels last week.
/>
This match-up boasts big quarterbacks, and elite receivers. Expect this game to be an air show.Think about it. On one side,
you have quarterback Matt Ryan, and receivers Roddy White, and Julio Jones. On the other, you’ve got quarterback Andy Dalton,
wide receiver AJ Green, and running back Gio Bernard, who factors heavily into the passing game.What does that translate to? Big
points for both teams. Enjoy the show.
/>
Forecasting this game for the Redskins is simple. If quarterback Robert Griffin III can turn back the clock to the way he played his rookie year,
the Redskins can win. If he can’t, they very well may lose.The Jaguars have been a losing club for the last handful of years, but they’re slowly
on the way back. Wide receiver Allen Hurns broke out in a big way last week. It will be interesting to see whether he’ll have similar success today.
/>
The Giants looked putrid in Week 1, failing to show any ability to move the ball on offence with any consistency. They switched to a brand new
offence after using one that was predicated on long bombs for roughly a decade, so it will be interesting to see whether they make progress and
show any increased cohesion this week.What will help the Giants is the fact that Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer won’t be playing this week.
If the Giants can’t beat a backup quarterback today, this team is in big trouble.
/>
Super Bowl hangover for the Seahawks? Don’t count on it.The Seahawks dominated in Week 1, and we expect them to do so this week again
against the Chargers. The Chargers have benefited from improved play from quarterback Philip Rivers, but we don’t think the Chargers will be able
to overcome the Seahawks’ big defence.
/>
The Jets pulled off an ugly win against the Oakland Raiders, but they face a much bigger test this week against quarterback Aaron Rodgers
and the Packers.However, the Jets should have a pretty good chance today. They boast an excellent defensive line, which matches up very well
with the sub par Green Bay offensive line.Plus, the Packers’ defensive line is also hurting with the absence of B.J. Raji. This means that
the Jets should be able to run the ball well.If the Jets win those two match-ups, they could very well win on the road this week.
/>
The Chiefs might have had a big regular season last year, but that was largely against poor teams. Considering how badly they looked last week against
a lesser team (compared to Denver), they will likely get wrecked today against the Broncos.Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning plus home opener likely
equals huge points for Denver today. Expect Manning to pass for over 300 yards and three touchdowns
/>
The Texans should beat the Raiders today, as they boast a better pass rush and a better running game than the Raiders do.Plus,
the Raiders are trotting out a rookie quarterback in Derek Carr. Carr may end up having a fine game, but his inexperience combined with
the lack of weapons around him won’t help matters.
/>
Despite the fact that the Rams boast a big defence, they got trampled on last week. Look for this to change this week against the Bucs.However,
the Bucs could still score some points. We expect Doug Martin to have a much better game than last week, and we wouldn’t be surprised if rookie
receiver Mike Evans made a big play or two.What will keep this game close is the fact that the Rams don’t have starting quarterback Sam Bradford,
who they lost to injury.
/>
The Bears do not have the defence they have had in years past. However, they do have a much better offence.Unfortunately for them, they’re going up
against the 49ers. Despite the fact that they’re missing some key starters on defence, San Francisco was able to shut down the high-powered Dallas
Cowboys offence last week.It will be interesting to see whether they can contain the Bears’ offence. At the very least, the 49ers should be able to
score, especially with the run game.
