NFL Week 4 Preview

     So by this time we are beginning to discover the stronger teams in the NFL, and finding all sorts of surprises. The 3-0 Dolphins, Chiefs, and Saints!?!? The 0-3 Steelers, Giants, and Redskins?!?! But it is still early so let's not get too excited.
     The Buccs benched Josh Freeman and have put him on the trading block. I was going to say the Titans should go after him, but Locker has been wining and his confidence should only grow. So send him to Cleveland. Sometimes all a player needs is a change of view, and they can excel. Other than that the choices are pretty slim if not none.
     Champ Bailey was limited in his practice reps this week and could possibly see his first action of the season.
     Here we go with my picks for this week;

Lions over the Bears 33-30 OT

Seahawks over the Texans 21-17

Colts over the Jags 20-10

Chiefs over the Giants 27-21

Steelers over the Vikings in London 21-14

Buccs over the Cardinals in a bore 13-10

Titans over the Jets in what should be a good game.17-13

Redskins over the Raiders if the skins wanna stay alive. 31-24

Falcons over the Patriots if THEY wanna stay alive. 30-27

Broncos over the Eagles 34-21

Game of the Week:
Saints over the Dolphins 28-17

Drew Brees plays well on MNF and are overall more experienced than the Dolphins.

Upset Special:
Bills over the Ravens 20-17

The Bills have been getting better by the week and want to prove that they aren't as bad as everyone thinks. Go Bills!

NFL Preview Week 3

   So now we have seen the Broncos desimate the Super Bowl Champions from the last 2 seasons, we are learning a lot about the character of the team, especially with Von, and Champ on the sideline for defense, and Welker, Decker dropping passes that Peyton literally puts it their faces, and Montee Ball fumbling.  Peyton looks to be playing the way a 37 year old future Hall Of Famer should be playing.
  Knowshon Moreno has made a big statement for his case to be the starting RB, and why not.  He hasn't fumbled, leads the team in rushing, and is good in the backfield for blocking.  And now with Ryan Clady out for the year, the Broncos are going to need help on Peyton's backside.  Wesely Woodyard has fit so perfectly at MLB, that it feels like the Broncos have a true Captain on D, the way Al Wilson was once upon a time ago!
   The Seahawks beat down the 49ers, and that defense looks incredibly fast.  Pete Carroll is a hell of a coach, and players love playing for him.  If that D can keep up the speed and furiosity that they are playing at, it will be next to impossible to score on them.

   The Browns continued their idiocracy of existence, and traded away their offensive power, sending Richardson to the Colts.  This gives Andrew Luck help in closing out games which is what they have trouble with, going back to last season.  The Browns felt they weren't getting what they thought a 3rd overall pick should be giving them.  Well duh, you can only draft such talented players, and never build anything around with the awful decisions they make.  Trent Richardson could've, and should've been the face of the franchise, but the Browns just seem to never wanna be successful.
  The Patriots don't have any weapons for Tom Brady to be "Tom Brady" with, and no real leadership on that D, to maintain offenses from scoring.  The Patriots are probably still going to win the division, but they will have a tough road in doing so.
  The Packers face 3 playoff teams (SF, WAS, and CIN) to start off the season, and look strong, but another test this week for that D that hasn't shown consistentcy since their Super Bowl run.  And the Bengals almost had a chance to come back on the Bears if it weren't for the immaturity of shooting themselves in the foot.  Let's see if they are a legitimate contender in the AFC this week against the Packers.

Here we go with my predictions for Week 3:

Texans over the Ravens 28-20

Giants over the Panthers in a must win for NY 31-28

Vikings over the Browns 23-9

Patriots over Buccaneers but Brady will throw at least 2 picks 19-14

Saints over Cardinals 29-17

Titans over Chargers if Fitzpatrick can come in over Locker 21-17

Redskins over the Lions in a must win for the Redskins 34-30

Falcons over the Dolphins 30-19

Bills beating the Jets and EJ Manuel will have a great game 27-17

49ers over the Colts in what should be a great game 27-21

Seahawks should crush the Jaguars 24-6

Broncos smashing the Raiders 37-13

UNDERDOG PICK
Rams over the Cowboys.  The Rams D is young, but Bradford looks to have some recievers and I think in a shootout with Romo, it may come down to special teams, and Tavon Austin could be the difference maker in this one.
35-31

UPSET SPECIAL
Bengals over the Packers.  I think this will be the statement game for Andy Dalton and AJ Green and the Bengals.  If they want to become a Super Bowl Contender, they must win these games, against real Super Bowl contenders.
