With the weekend at hand, it's time to set the football weekend TV agenda. Here's how Sunday shapes up. The games previewed included the Projected Vegas Score (PVS), the final based on the pointspread, total with a little tweaking done to make it a reasonable football score...

PVS: New Orleans 27 Chicago 21
New Orleans looks to have a lot of problems rushing the quarterback right now, as they did nothing to get to Aaron Rodgers in the opener, and defensive end Will Smith is still out. The Bears look to still have problems protecting the quarterback. Even in a 30-12 win over Atlanta, they still allowed Jay Cutler to be sacked five times. Something's gotta give here and with the game in the Superdome I think the Bear offensive line continues to implode. Defensively, Chicago did do a nice job in getting to Matt Ryan and the Saints' offense is now missing receiver Marques Colston. It's going to be tough for Drew Brees to stretch the field and more pressure is going to be on the running game and rookie Mark Ingram to create opportunities for the passing game. At home, I like New Orleans, but I also want to see how the offense adjusts to the loss of Colston.

Jacksonville-NY Jets (1 ET, CBS)
PVS: NY Jets 24 Jacksonville 14
The Jacksonville offense didn't get a lot going in a Week 1 win over Tennessee, and it certainly doesn't get easier as they come to the Meadowlands. If an upset is going to happen the Jags have to get Maurice Jones-Drew established on the ground. Rex Ryan's defense can counter by stacking the box to take away Drew and trusting Darrelle Revis and the secondary to take away any passing game from a mediocre receivers corps and questionable quarterback in Luke McNown. The Jets will win decisively.

San Diego-New England (4 ET, CBS)
PVS: New England 31 San Diego 24
Tom Brady put his foot in it when he told the Patriots' fans to "get lubed up" for the late start in Foxboro and sent the organization into comical efforts of spinning what Brady really meant. Because we all know football fans will only drink in the parking lot based on what Tom Brady says. The Patriots would be wiser to worry about a defense that was an utter sieve on Monday night in Miami, rather than innocuous comments saying things that all of us say in casual conversation. Philip Rivers didn't get the ball to his wideouts, Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd last week, but I have to think that will be a priority. But Brady also threw for over 500 yards and exploited a defense that has more talent than the one he faces on Sunday. The points flow as easily as the beer does in the pre-game tailgates, and the Pats win another shootout.

Philadelphia-Atlanta (8:20 ET, NBC)
PVS: Philly 26 Atlanta 24
The Falcons looked terrible in their loss at Chicago, while Philadelphia was impressive in establishing the ground game in a win at St. Louis. It wasn't just Michael Vick taking off and running for the Eagles, but LeSean McCoy piling up 122 yards in the more conventional rush game. Using McCoy will be important to keep a quality Atlanta front four off-balance and prevent them from teeing off. On the flip side both offensive lines are going to be tested by the defensive ends they face and the Falcons have to do a better job than last week when they gave up five sacks. In that game, Michael Turner rushed for 100 yards, while Ryan got the ball to Roddy White, but the sacks were the biggest culprit in the offense being unable to generate points. I haven't been a believer in Philadelphia's status as a Dream Team, and I'm not ready to think Atlanta's really as bad as they played in Chicago. The Falcons rebound with a close win at home.
