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.

My NFL Week 2 Key Matchup
My NFL Week 2 Key Matchup
NFL Football is back and I am happier than ever! I am also very glad that I get to do my weekly picks. You know, they give you a bunch of games and you pick who you think is going to win. It is fun but can be frustrating when the "high favorite" loses. So this week I am going to tell you who I think is going to win in a matchup.
Dallas vs. Houston. So this week Romo and the boys are going down to Houston to see if they kick some Texans this week. It is going to be extremely hard for the Boys to beat a team that is 2-0. I am thinking that it is going to be a repeat of that preseason game, where the Texans kicked the boys out of Reliant Stadium. Now Dallas is 2nd in passing yards this year(surprisingly) but they haven't won a game. They Cowboys might have won in Week one, if OL Alex Barron could have kept his hands to himself, and avoided that holding call. Then last week the Boys stayed home to play the Bears. They got runover by the Bears offense, but the Cowboys offense also did a great job at scoring. It just wasn't enough to win the game.
Now I will talk about the Texans. Absolutely great team. The best I have seen them play in years. Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are at the height of their career. In Week 1 they took on the Colts and kicked the tail off of them. They made Peyton Manning look like a Rookie. I was very impressed with how well the Texans moved the ball. Adrian Foster also looked great with several TD's in that game. Then in Week 2 the Texans come close to a loss as they go into OT against the Skins. McNabb was looking good and so was Schaub, but the Texans prevailed 30-27 OT. So now with all the stats out of the way, here is my pick. I am expecting the Texans to win like they did in the preseason. Go Texans!

Has the NFL Turned Soft?
Has the NFL Turned Soft?
The question I am asking is has the National Football League gone soft. My answer is yes. Football used to be nothing but contact. It used to be were players were muddy, bleeding, and sweating. You don't see that anymore. The NFL are treating these players like they are a bunch of little kids. Roughing the passer, really! The QB's are on the field, they have padding, and are wearing helmets. They are as vulnerable as any other player on the field. Now I will say there should be cases where they should call it. Like when the ball is clearly out of the QB's hands and then he gets laid out. Then they should throw the flag.
Helmet to helmet should also be allowed. But if the ball is nowhere near the WR, and he gets hit in the head. They should throw it. There should be exeptions with penalties. They should let the men play. It is a contact sport and they should leave it that way. I understand that they make these rules to protect the players but you should let them do there thing.
Some people don't like it when players celebrate. Personally I like it. I think celebration should spread to the NCAA. If you work hard for that touchdown you deserve to celebrate for it. I think it is hilarious when someone does a little dance in the endzone for their efforts. Drop the taunting rule NCAA and let the players boogie down!
The NFL has gone soft off the field as well. Like for instance Ben Roethlisberger. First his suspension was for 6 games, then the NFL made it for only 4 games. I feel what Big Ben did was disgraceful. He was a role model for probably a lot of kids and he goes and has an affair with some woman. I feel the same as Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw on the FOX pregame show told Ben how he felt. He said, " If it were my team he'd be gone." I agree 100%. The NFL should have made it 6 games.

Which QB Will Start in the NFL
Who Will Start in the NFL
This NFL Preseason I have been surprised. Mainly about the trades and people that have been released. Here are some Preseason players that have shocked me....
First off, Jake Delhomme. Jake Delhomme was my former fav player from the Carolina Panthers. But after that 18 INT year, my favorite switched to DeAngelo Williams. But apparently Jake is doing good in Cleveland. He seems comfortable in the pocket and he is taking his time throwing. Unlike last year throwing for only a little over 2,000 yards. Don't throw away your autographed Delhomme gear yet he might be something. But he hasn't played a full game yet, so I am not impressed. If he takes the Browns to the playoffs.
Next, Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore. I believe everyone has been surprised by these two. I honestly expected Moore to step up and take the lead role. He hasn't been showing that yet. Clausen seems more comfy in the pocket than Moore. But the Panthers need a better OL(offensive line). What they need to do is teach the veteran Jordan Gross patience at the line. He has been playing too long to be doing be giving up five yards every snap.
Another player that has surprised me this preseason, Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford has been really good. His first game was a little rough but the last two games he has played like a veteran. Just recently he helped his team beat the Patriots. I believe that this guy is the real deal. He is SO much better the Bulger will ever be. Bradford's arm is young and it helps that he went to a good college. Look out for this dude! He will be giving Defensive coordinators nightmares for a long time.
The last player I will mention is Kevin Kolb. Very few people have heard of him. He did play a little last year with McNabb's injury but never really got the time to shine. Now he has a chance. I don't think Vick stands a chance against this guy. The last game I saw Vick play in, he threw two INTs in a couple of minutes! Kolb doesn't have the legs that Vick has but at least Kolb can throw.
Well that is all for my QB's, I hope some of you were enlightened and can use this advice.
