Game of Week 8

Game of Week 8


So this week is Week 8 of the NFL Regular season. It is hard to believe that it is week 8 already. It seems like it should be Week 2. So what is my matchup for this week? It would be Pittsburgh vs. New Orleans. First off the Steelers, they now have Roethlisberger back; so what! I thought they did good enough without Big Ben. Personally I am not that much in favor of him after his little "incident". The Steelers have surprised me. I thought they would be nothing without Santonio Holmes. But they still have Hines Ward who is still tough as nails after being in the league for ages. The problem is though they are one of the worst in throwing yards. There defense is great but their offense is not one of the best.

Now for New Orleans, they are still good but 4-3 is not Super Bowl material. Drew Brees is letting down fantasy football owners everywhere. I knew better and got Schaub and Rodgers. Plus their running game. In the first few weeks they lost Reggie Bush to a broken leg and Pierre Thomas with a ankle injury. Brees has an arm but he hasn't shown it so far. The Saints defense is really good; against the pass. They maybe can beat Roethlisberger but I just don't know. Well pick time. I am saying the Steelers to win. I will be back next week with my pick.

Week 5 Matchup

Week 5 Matchup


So far in my picks I am 1-1, Baltimore won 17-14! So this week there are several good matchups this week it was hard to decide. But the one I picked was Philadelphia vs. San Francisco. These teams are not the best but not exactly the worst either.


Philadelphia is 2-2, but they have played some tough teams and key injuries have pushed them to the limits. Andy Reid has been rather fickle with his QB's. First Kolb got injured, then Vick was injured, and now Kolb is back as starter. They have CB's that are injured and a FB that is injured. They are going to have a challenge Sunday because the Niners have a tough team too. I bet the Eagles are begging for McNabb to come back. They did better last year with him.


The 49'ers are not having a good year. They are 0-4 and are just not cutting it. They have come close to winning every game they played. Like when they played the Saints. They lost by a Field Goal. Then last week they lost by 2 points to Atlanta. I can tell that Mike Singletary is frustrated with his team. I mean first the fight between Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree during training camp really got Singletary riled.


I can tell that this is going to be a good game Sunday night. I am predicting the Eagles to win. The Niners will make this close but the Eagles are going to win.

NFL Recap of Week 4

NFL Recap of Week 4


This week in the NFL some key events happened. Sunday evening, the Redskins are playing the Eagles. Quarterback ,Michael Vick, takes off on a scramble and gets up wincing. He was sent back for a MRI and it turns out he has some torn rib cartilage. So most likely he will not play next week against the 49er's. Then in the same game, RB Lesean McCoy was injured in the first half with a rib fracture but was able to play through the injury. Also WR Riley Cooper and CB Asante Samuel suffered mild concussions in the game. Then to add insult to injury(literally) they lost to the Redskins.

Carolina vs. New Orleans: In the 3rd Quarter, Quarterback Jimmy Clausen, threw a little pass to WR Steve Smith. Smith lost his balance after a short run and fell on the sidelines clutching his leg. He eventually got up and limped off the field with the help of trainers. After X-Rays he has and ankle injury and is expected to not play next week against the Bears. Sadly the Panthers lost to the Saints after a last second incomplete pass.

Green Bay vs. Detroit: During the second quarter, Morgan Burnett, SS for the Packers, suffered a knee injury and didn't come back into the game. Later tests showed that he has a torn ACL and will be out for the season. The Pack are in a pickle because they are already out one SS, so they will use just one of their safteys. The Packers won the game 26-28. Aaron Rodgers threw for 3 touchdowns to help his team win.

Tennessee vs. Denver: In the first half of Sunday's game, Derrick Morgan, DE for the Titans, was injured and was out of the game. Afterwords they found out he has a torn ACL and will likely be out for the seasons. Sadly the Titans lost to the Broncos and will be 2-2 going against the Cowboys this week.

Well that's this week's recap, I will be back later this week for my predictions.

NFL Week 4 Matchup

NFL Week 4 Matchup



So last week I picked the Texans over the Cowboys. Boy was I shocked,along with a lot of other people, when the Cowboys won. Now this week my game of the week is Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh. I guarantee that this will be a close game. I doubt it will be a battle of the offenses, it will be a battle of the defenses. Baltimore has an extraordinary LB core. With such players as Ray Lewis and Terrel Suggs. Anywhere you go Ray Lewis is going to be in your face. The Ravens have a good offense although, Joe Flacco is not as good as he was last year. He is making careless throws into the secondary. He has to watch that or this extremely good Steeler secondary will eat him up. They have a good HB. Ray Rice was good last year but has also lost some power in a year. Now something that is good for the Ravens is an excellent receiving group. Derrick Mason, Anquan Boldin, Todd Heap, and T.J. Houshmanzadah all are average to good players.

Now the Steelers also have an extraordinary LB core and they also have a great secondary. Like Troy Polamalu for instance. This guy is also in on every play. Whenever I watch the Steelers play. Polamalu and his million dollar locks are in on every play. The Steelers do not have the best offense this year. Of course the absence of Ben Roethlisberger hasn't helped none. Dennis Dixon was doing good until his injury then they plummited. The Steelers have got to beat this Ravens defense or they don't stand a chance. Now I will make my pick.

I believe that the Ravens are going to win this game.
