Raiders vs Texans - This one could be interesting to watch, no matter the outcome. Will the Texans be battling the Raiders or themselves? Can the Texans exploit the Raiders deep coverage like the Lions showed glimmers of hope doing in week 1 (even though the game was well out of reach). Where is Godfrey? The Raiders will be the Raiders, steady and mistake free. Potential to be somewhat close, but the Texans will need to catch some breaks. Don't think it will happen. Raiaers - 40 Texans - 19 Bengals vs Steelers - Potentially the game of the week! From what I have heard the Steelers will bring youth, speed, and some flag experience from outside of the SFL. The Bengals of course bring maturity(old age) and lots of SFL and college tested experience. Will this be the Bengals first test? Will the Steelers be able to compete in this league? This one should tell the tale and quiet the hype of one of them! Bengals - 41 Steelers - 13 Dolphins vs Lions - Maybe the best matchup of the week. Roster Dolphins vs Roster Lions? Will the real Dolphins be there to play or will there be chaos amongst the replacements? Will the Lions bring some of the big names from their roster that didn't show in week 1? Can the Lions build off of their experience in week 1 and gel offensively or will Turtle bring the whole gang and redeem their discouraging loss in week 1? Two cracks at this one, Real Dolphins - 23 Real Lions - 22 Replacement Dolphins - 35 Replacement Lions - 24 Any other combinations........your guess is as good as mine! Added note: Stevie Buck will see another week go by without putting up a stat! LOL!

Raiders 52 Texans 0 for first ever SFL shutout.
Bengals 33 Raiders 20 Offut's legs keep it close before Bengal's firepower gets hot.
Lions 26 Dolphins 15 Lions put it together for a big win.
I'm 2 - 1 on the year. Thought Godfrey would show up week one for the Burg.

I always get into predictions, so why not. As usual, I could be totally off mark, but all in fun. I got word of the lines this week from Vegas, so I tweeted about that yesterday for those following the Twitter page (hint hint, @sfltweet2010 or mine @bird33wv). Yeah, always a shill for a cheap plug, I'm never above that. Anyways, the Vegas lines are as follows:
Raiders (-33) vs 49ers.
I'm going big with this score, the Raiders are ready for this action. Let's go with a final of 49-12 as they cover the spread.
Bengals (-9) vs Steelers.
Not many of us have seen the Steeler bunch play before. They come in with a TON of hype and supposedly they are going to dominate the league. Maybe so, maybe not. Who am I to say? On paper, they look nasty, but due to league experience at Timbertown Stadium, the Bengals get the nod in this one, at least on Vegas terms. I'm going with a nice battle here, the old men Bengals taking it 38-28.
Lions (-3) vs Dolphins.
I called this one the blue collar war. Will we see the Shane Falco Dolphins or will Turtle and the boys be there full of energy and power? This line could change as we get closer to game time. Vegas wasn't even sure of what could happen. Me personally? I'm going to predict Lions 28, Dolphins 13.
It'll be fun to see the Steelers take the field and see the havoc they have said they will bring to the league. That's a ticket you might not want to miss. Also, will the Raiders just put up stats like crazy or will the 49ers come in and surprise and make it a game? And finally, blood and guts will be spilled in the night cap at 3:45. Lions and Dolphins, it's gonna get physical!

It is a shame that the Bengals aren't getting any respect. Now it's a shame the Steelers have to play them next!

Steelers 63
Bengals 35
Speed kills and the prunytown steelers are bringing a ton of it.. These two are offensive juggernauts but the keys to this game is the steelers speed on defense forces 4 turnovers which proves to be the difference.. the steelers set that all time high on one game scoring and the stat boys hands will be cramped
Keys to this game
Steelers shut down bengals pass offense and force turnovers
Steelers take care of the ball and get first downs
Bengals need to be perfect on flag pulls, one missed tackle will result in steeler Tds all day
How will Bengals harman face the toughest defense he's played against in his career.
The steelers prove that collegiate records don't mean dick in this lop sided blow out

Wow, I was thinking that we had one of the top defenses in the league. If the Steelers put up 63 on us, I may just walk away from the game forever!

I hope you are wrong Mitch, but according to the weather man we shouldn't see much of a chance of rain until 3:00-4:00 on Sunday. Therefore, if the weather man says no rain, it will probably flood!
