I'll give you three upsets:
Minnesota beats Carolina, straight up, and the Panthers drop to 0-2.
The Giants go on the road and win big in Philadelphia.
Jacksonville defeats overrated Pittsburgh on Monday night.

Buffalo over Miami
If we can put pressure on Tom Brady, getting pressure on Culpepper will be a cinch...and net us 2-3 interceptions and perhaps a fumble or two. Their oline is just not as good, far too slow and immobile. We'll blow right past 'em. Stopping Ronnie Brown may be a problem, but, then again, Mike Mularkey has never shown any indication that he understands that taking advantage of an opponent's weakness is a good idea.
As for our offense...if Charlie Batch can do that to Miami's secondary, JP and our burners at WR(Evans, Parrish, Davis, and Price) will destroy them. It's not like it hasn't happened before either. Their secondary is weak, and our TEs are good receivers. Should JP get enough time, they'll get torched in the passing game early and be forced to play catch-up, neutralizing our weak run defense and forcing them to pass.
Not to mention that MM will probably run a double-reverse flea-flicker on a key 4th&3...

Arizona's defense is terrible and I see Seattle going wild. Arizona is terrible on the road.
The Lions will lose to the Bears. You can't win if you can't score and their offensive line is terrible. It could get ugly.
Denver will kill KC with Green out. KC always loses in Denver.
Jacksonville has a chance against Pittsburgh, but I like Pittsburgh.
My 2 upsets:
Mild one: SF over Rams
27-24
Tampa Bay 17- Atlanta 13.
Even though Chris Simms is not a good QB (he can't handle any type of rush) I think Gruden will get back to the run game against Atlanta.

Hmmm.
NY Giants over Philadelphia for NFC East [28-17]
-We saw what Eli can do this year, throwing 2 TDs. Plaxico Burress and Tiki Barber will help carry that offense. Defense stopped Peyton Manning numerous times.
Tampa Bay over Atlanta for NFC South [14-7]
-Chris Simms isn't elite by any means, but neither is Michael Vick. Defense wins this one as tampa bay moves up in style. Fluke win over the panthers will not be enough to carry Atlanta.
Arizona over Seattle for NFC West [24-21]
-Extremely potent offense boasting loads of talent at skills positions, and apparently, Kurt Warner still has a little something [not sure what] left in his almost-empty tank.
Kansas City over Denver for AFC West [17-3]
-KC still has Larry Johnson against a Denver defense that gave up 121 yards along the ground for Steven Jackson alone.
Jacksonville over Pittsburgh [31-24]
-Byron Leftwich was quietly having his best season last year, and look for him to continue through the 06 season. Don't expect them to make a serious run for the AFC South Crown, as long as Peyton Manning resides in Indy, you can expect him to be wearing it proudly.

I'm gonna have to go with SF over the Rams. Alex Smith looked very comfortable last week vs. the Cardinals. Vernon Davis should (if he plays because he's questionable) learn from his mistakes made last week. They looked like a hungry team on a mission. They should prevail this week.
49ers-31
Rams-28

Yes the packers have a really good chance to beat the bears as long as the packers don't hurt Grossman and let Griese get into the game.
