#6 vs #4 coming up Sunday in Nashville

With week one done, the eyes start to glance ahead to week two of the NFL season, as the Steelers will look to move to 2-0 as they take on the Titans in Tennessee.

The Titans are coming off a huge 38-13 win over the Raiders, and have a very talented squad led by Chris Johnson at running back and Vince Young at QB.

Peter King of SI.com came out with his top 15 teams in his Monday morning QB, and both the Steelers and Titans are in his top 6 for now.

1. New Orleans (1-0). There wasn’t a flawless team in Week 1 and I don’t think one was close. So the Saints take the top spot because of a very good defensive performance and because we all know Drew Brees is going to play like Drew Brees for the next four months.

2. New England (1-0). I have one word for Randy Moss: clueless. And I like him.

3. Green Bay (1-0). One thing I worry about — that line might get Aaron Rodgers hurt. Where’d all those leaks come from?

4. Tennessee (1-0). I don’t know if the Titans can keep it up, but I will make this prediction: Albert Haynesworth will play for Tennessee by the trading deadline.

5. New York Giants (1-0). If Kenny Phillips can play 16 games, he’s going to Hawaii. All expenses paid.

6. Pittsburgh (1-0). The defense snuffed out Matt Ryan, which is the way the Steelers are going to have to play to stay afloat — and go at least 2-2 by the time Ben Roethlisberger returns. Decent day for Dennis Dixon. Just decent. Tremendous days for Hines Ward and Head&Shoulders Polamalu.
