The first two weeks are officially in the books and have started to tell us a few things about the teams we cheer for. That being said, it’s only week three and we have 14 games left for each team. What will happen towards the end of the season remains a mystery as we have seen some pretty crazy stuff. So what should we expect in the third week of the season?

Tennessee vs. New York Jets (New York-2.5). This should be another tough game for the Titans. Although they are obviously a pretty good team, they started 0-2 on the year. The Jets’ defense appears to be in earnest under the tutelage of Rex Ryan. Mark Sanchez has also been terrific in two games, even beating the Patriots already. Chris Johnson came out last week against Houston and made a lot of fantasy owners happy. Will he be able to keep it?

Jacksonville vs. Houston (Houston-3.5). If Houston plays like he did against the Titans, the Jags really don’t have a chance in this game. However, that is the reason why they play the games. Houston probably won’t hit it flat out in the passing game like he did last week. The Jaguars had a nice contribution from Mike Sims-Walker last weekend and hope he continues to grow in his role. It will be interesting to see if Matt Schaub can continue the breakneck pace that began last week.

Cleveland vs. Baltimore (Baltimore -13). According to bettors, this is the biggest mismatch of the week. However, just when you start to write off an underdog, that’s when they start to surprise you. Therefore, the large margin should raise the stakes for the Cleveland side this week. If Baltimore keeps playing the way it has, it will definitely win the game, but will it cover the huge gap?

New York Giants vs. Tampa Bay (New York -6.5). Eli Manning is definitely learning how to distribute the ball without Plaxico Burress next to him. On the other side of the ball, Byron Leftwich is showing that he is still a capable player in his own right. The Bucs also have a nice two-headed running game in Derrick Ward and Cadillac Williams. Can the Bucs stop the vaunted Giants running game?

Washington vs. Detroit (Washington-6). Last week, the Redskins scared a lot of people by playing an extremely close game with the St. Louis Rams. They failed to cover then and many wonder if they will be able to do so this weekend. Their offense is anemic and they don’t really have a quarterback. If Detroit plays like it did in the first half against the Vikings, it can surprise the Redskins.

Green Bay vs. St. Louis (Green Bay -6.5). As mentioned with the Redskins preview, the Rams battled hard with them last week. If Jackson can get it back on track, this could be a closer game than people realize. After a promising start against the Bears, the Packers’ defense took a step back against the Bengals. Can they get back in the right direction against the lowly Rams offense?

San Francisco vs. Minnesota (Minnesota -6.5). Although the Vikings faltered in the first half against the Lions, they came back strong in the second half and floored them. If the Vikings can pull it all together for a complete game, they’ll easily take down the Niners. However, the Niners have quietly jumped to a 2-0 record of their own. This should be a pretty good game.

Atlanta vs. New England (New England-4.5). The Patriots stammered against the Jets last week and seemed like a pretty mediocre team. They only contributed 9 points, which is quite unthinkable for the Patriots of yesteryear. On the other hand, the Falcons defeated the Dolphins and Panthers in their first two weeks. Tony G. is still hurting opposing defenses and they look like a legitimate offense. He expects a pretty close game in this one.

pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati (Pittsburgh -4). The Bengals looked like a much improved team last week when they beat the Green Bay Packers. Carson Palmer looked better and Chad Ochocinco had another good game. If they can keep improving, they’ll be a team to be reckoned with and could surprise the Steelers. The Steelers are coming off a tough loss at the hands of Chicago and are looking to bounce back.

Denver vs. Oakland (Denver-1.5). This is one of the closest spreads of the week and for good reason. The Raiders are much improved from last season and the Broncos aren’t really as good as their 2-0 record indicates. Will the McD era continue in Denver with another win? Or will the Raiders win back-to-back games for the first time this season?

Indianapolis vs. Arizona (Arizona-2.5). Arizona silenced many of the detractors last week when they found the Jaguars. Many people thought they were a fluke last year and Kurt Warner put all that talk to an end with an incredible performance. This one should be interesting as he faces two of the best quarterbacks that have been in the league for a long time. Look for a gunfight on this one.

Carolina vs. Dallas (Dallas-9). Carolina has started terribly in the first two games. They were blown out against Philly and then lost to the Falcons last week. While both teams are good, it’s not a good sign that Carolina doesn’t even look competitive. Can Delhomme turn it around and stop spinning the ball? Dallas, on the other hand, is coming off one of the most disappointing losses in quite some time at the hands of the Giants. If Romo can stop throwing interceptions, this could be a special team.

Chicago vs. Seattle (Chicago-1.5). The Bears look to build on their promising win from last week against the Steelers. Can they keep it going or will Seattle shut them down? The Seahawks might have to go with Seneca Wallace at quarterback. This isn’t exactly an encouraging sign if you’re a Seahawks fan. The Bears expect Matt Forte to roll on the ground again after two below-average games.

New Orleans vs. Buffalo (New Orleans-6). Drew Brees has been completely out of this world the first two weeks of the season. He has tied an NFL record with 9 touchdown passes in the first two weeks of a season. They also get Pierre Thomas back with full force from him this week, which should help the running game. TO found the end zone last week and the Bills looked a lot better. Can you keep up the airstrike against New Orleans?

Miami vs. San Diego (San Diego-5.5). This should be a pretty even game. The Dolphins controlled the clock against the Colts and still managed to lose. They can run the ball and their defense isn’t bad. On the other hand, the Chargers seek to recover after a loss to the Ravens. Will Phillip Rivers be able to recover?
