BALTIMORE AT DENVER: The NFL Is back! Peyton Manning and his new favorite target Wes Welker take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have lost Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Anquan Boldin, and Paul Kruger, but they have the Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco. The Ravens now also have Elvis Dumervil from Denver. They hope Dumervil will help fill in a glaring hole at Linebacker. Von Miller won't be playing in this game due to a suspension.

BRONCOS OVER RAVENS

NEW ENGLAND AT BUFFALO: Tom Brady and the Patriots match up well against rookie QB E.J. Manuel and the Bills. Tom Brady may have lost Wes Welker, but Danny Amendola is going to be a suitable replacement. Tom Brady makes his recievers better. I'm expecting a Patriots blowout.

PATRIOTS OVER BILLS

MIAMI AT CLEVELAND: The Browns have Paul Kruger now, but need to see improvement from Brandon Weeden at Quarterback. His 14 Touchdowns and 17 interceptions weren't too bad for a rookie, although a 27 year old Rookie QB. Miami has former Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill, and he did not fare much better last season. 12 Touchdowns, 13 interceptions. This could go either way, but I pick:

DOLPHINS OVER BROWNS

ATLANTA AT NEW ORLEANS: Talk about a Shootout in the Superdome. This could be the best game of the entire week. Saints QB Drew Brees and Falcons QB Matt Ryan both have chips on their shoulder. Falcons lost in heartbreaking fashion in the NFC Championship game to San Francisco. Tony Gonzalez is back for one final season, and Atlanta will be happy to have him back.  Drew Brees threw for over 5,000 yards passing the last two seasons. This should be a lot of fun.

SAINTS OVER FALCONS

TAMPA BAY AT NEW YORK JETS: Darelle Revis was traded this offseason from the Jets to the Bucs. Rookie QB Geno Smith gets the start for the Jets. I pick the Bucs to win and start a long season for Jets fans.

BUCS OVER JETS

TENNEESSEE AT PITTSBURGH: The Titans have Jake Locker at Quarterback. They are hoping for a big season from him. The Steelers lost Linebacker James Harrison to the Bengals via Free Agency. Will Tennesee be ready for Dick LaBeau and the massive pressure he brings?

STEELERS OVER TITANS

MINNESOTA AT DETROIT: Lions WR Calvin Johnson broke the NFL Record for most recieving yards last season with 1,964 yards recieving last season. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson ran for 2,097 yards last season. This game should be fun.

LIONS OVER VIKINGS

INDIANAPOLIS AT OAKLAND: Colts QB Andrew Luck led his team to the postseason in his rookie year. Raiders rookie QB Terelle Pryor is hoping for similar results.
COLTS OVER RAIDERS

SEATTLE AT CAROLINA:
Carolina QB Cam Newton vs Seattle QB Russell Wilson. Wilson went 8-0 at home last season! I do think Seattle starts 1-0 this season.
SEAHAWKS OVER PANTHERS

KANSAS CITY AT JACKSONVILLE: Kansas City has a new Head Coach in Andy Reid, and a new QB in Alex Smith. I think they will start off the year 1-0.
CHIEFS OVER JAGUARS

ARIZONA AT ST LOUIS: The Cardinals have a new QB in Carson Palmer. They still have Larry Fitzgerald, although the lack of a true number may hurt somewhat. Sam Bradford of the Rams is still a good QB, but the Rams are still rebuilding.
CARDINALS OVER RAMS

GREEN BAY AT SAN FRANCISCO: Aaron Rodgers vs Colin Kaepernick. "Kaepernicking" took the NFL by storm, and San Farncisco was one big play away from title number six. Aaron Rodgers has a new weapon at running back, Eddie Lacy of Alabama. This will help the Packers offense. Rodgers won't have to throw as often. The 49ers have Anquan Boldin now. He is a real weapon in  the passing game.
49ERS OVER PACKERS

GIANTS AT COWBOYS: Eli Manning and the Giants take on Tony Romo and the Cowboys. Dallas made a foolish decision in signing Romo to such a crazy extension. Dez Bryant is going to have a big season this year I think. The running game will do well in DeMarco Murray stays healthy. The Giants will have the better season in New York, but I think they start 0-1.
COWBOYS OVER GIANTS

REDSKINS AT EAGLES: Robert Griffin III will get to test his knee, and Chip Kelly will get to test if his Oregon Offense can work in the NFL. I think it can. Michael Vick is still a dangerous scrambler. Redskins defense will have to keep him contained. I don't think Robert Griffin III will be running as much this season.
EAGLES OVER REDSKINS

HOUSTON AT SAN DIEGO: The Houston Texans were in the playoffs last season, while San Diego and QB Phillip Rivers regressed. I think the Texans take the first step to the Super Bowl this season.
TEXANS OVER CHARGERS

Eagles Sign Michael Vick

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reacts to the news of Vick signing with the Eagles.

Wow! To say that the news of Michael Vick signing with Philly is a suprise is an understatement!

How will Head Coach Andy Reid use Vick? I don't think Vick will be used at QB (McNabb is pretty good), so I am expecting Andy Reid to use Vick for his speed, perhaps in a "Wildcat-type" offensive role.

Great Plays From Week Fourteen!

Bobby Petrino Resigns As Falcons Coach

One Day After Falcons Franchise Quarterback Michael Vick was sacked with a 23 month Prison term for dog fighting, Bobby Petrino has resigned as Falcons Coach.

Bobby Petrino resigned as Atlanta Falcons coach on Tuesday and will take the head coaching job at Arkansas, sources told FOXSports.com. He lasted only 13 games with the NFL team.

Petrino called a staff meeting late Tuesday afternoon, a meeting which last about 10 seconds, sources said.
At this point, the assistant coaches have not been told who will be coaching the team going forward.

Petrino did not address the team following his resignation. Players are livid with the way Petrino left the team and several called his handling of the situation "classless."

Petrino left Louisville to become Falcons coach in January for a five-year, $24 million contract, largely because Atlanta felt he could help star quarterback Michael Vick reach his full potential.

Of course, he had no idea what Vick was doing in his spare time.

This officially closes the book on this team and how they totally self-destructed after their Star QB was hit with jailtime. Good luck to whoever the next Falcons head coach will be, they are gonna have a whole world of problems on their hands.

NFL Preview: NFC South

Drew Brees and the Saints are Ready to Go Marching In for another NFC South Title.



The Suprise Team for the 2006 Season was the New Orleans Saints. The Saints were revitalized by the Cannon Right Arm of Drew Brees, and by the running of the elusive runner Reggie Bush, whether it was returning kicks and punts or running out of the backfield. The Saints also were able to turn Seventh Round Draft Choice Marques Colston out of Hofstra into the steal of the draft. Tbe Saints are ready for an Offensive Showdown vs the Colts Tommorow Night on NBC. The Saints will win the NFC South Easily, as they have no competition. The Saints have the potential to go to the Super Bowl. These guys aren't The 'Aints anymore.

Prediction: 11-5, 1st Place.

So, how did teams like Carolina, Tampa Bay, and Atlanta going to fare this season? keep Reading.

Carolina Panthers: The Panthers were many people's pick to go to the Super Bowl last season. They didn't even make the playoffs, fizzling out at 8-8. The inconsistent play of jake Delhomme last season, for his sake, has to stop. If it doesn't, expect Carolina to bring in David Carr, who will never take enough Asprin to have relief from all of the headaches he suffers from being repeatedly thrown to the turf time after time in Houston. DeShaun and DeAngelo Williams will be a good 1-2 Punch for Carolina. Jullius Peppers will rack up the sacks. The sudden retirement of Mike Minter will hurt Carolina's Secondary. Carolina has a shot to make the playoffs, but only only if Jake Delhomme looks like the Jake of 2004 which took Carolina to the Super Bowl, not the 2007 Jake, which was almost as consistent as Rex Grossman in Chicago.

Prediction: 9-7, 2nd Place.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: The Tampa Buccaneers are reeling from the loss of Mike Alstott for at least this season. Cato June will help the Baccaneers linebacking. The loss of Simeon Rice hurts Tampa Bay defensively. Chris Simms is still trying to come back from a ruptured spleen. Cadilac Williams may for 1,000 yards this season. Jeff Garcia wass a good option option for Tampa Bay, as he is better than every other Tampa Bay Quarterback. This team won't look like the 2003 Bucs, which means Jon Gruden may be on the way out in Tampa bay.

Prediction: 7-9, 3rd Place.

ATLANTA FALCONS: The Mike Vick situation eliminates Atlanta's Season. Period. They would have finished 7-9 with him. They may not even win three games without him. Joey Harrington has not proved himself on any team he has won the Starting Quarterback job in. Joe Horn is a good veteran receiver, but his numbers will go way down. Jerious Norwood and Jamaal Anderson will be two bright spots on this team, but don't look for any more. Atlanta will finish 2-14 without Mike Vick, and Atlanta will look for another Quarterback, possiblt Brian Brohm of Louisville, so Head Coach Bobby Petrino can institute the Spread Offense, just like he had at Louisville.

Prediction: 2-14, 4th Place.

Michael Vick To Plead Guilty

More than football, Now that he has pleaded gulty, Michael Vick's freedom is out of the question.

With three associates prepared to testify that he brutally executed dogs and bankrolled gambling, the NFL star agreed Monday to "accept full responsibility" for his role in a dogfighting ring and plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.

Worries about playing time will have to wait while Vick faces prison time — from one to five years.

The maximum term is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines likely would call for less. Defense attorneys would not divulge details of the plea agreement or how much time Vick can expect to serve.


Michael Vick's Football Career is over. Period. There is no team one to five years from now that would be that desperate to take a chance on Vick.

Where does this leave the Falcons? It leaves them looking at a terrible mess and an upcoming terrible season. Atlanta will finish 2-14, and will have the first pick in the NFL Draft Next Year. I see the Falcons taking Brian Brohm, the Louisville Quarterback. Why? Because Brohm's coach Last Season was Bobby Petrino, who is now the Atlanta Falcons Coach. Of Course, I could see them suprisingly take a guy like John David Booty out of USC or (even more suprisingly) Colt Brennan, Quarterback out of Hawaii.

Where My Dogs At?

Michael Vick, the Quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and one of the most recognizable faces of the National Football League, has been charged with being a ringleader of an illiegal dogfighting ring. According to the 18-page indictment, the dogfighting ring executed underperforming dogs by drowning, hanging and other brutal means. It alleges that the fights offered purses as high as $26,000.

The grisly details outlined in the indictment have fueled protests and public outrage against Vick. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has banned Vick from the Falcons' training camp while the league investigates.

Michael Vick is in deep dog doodoo (no pun intnended) as one of his former associates, Tony Taylor, has now agreed to testify for the government in their case against Michael Vick. Wittnesses have put Michael at the scene of the dog executions and there may soon be more charges coming up against Michael Vick.

No Ammount of Scrambling can get Michael Vick away from the very real possibility that he may spend some time in prison. Vick had better hope that his attorney Billy Martin is as good as his track record says he is, Otherwise, Vick can kiss his NFL Career Goodbye.
