Tom Brady has been suspended the first four games of the upcoming NFL Season due to the perception that there was a deflated football during the AFC Championship Game. Or something of that effect.
"Deflategate" is stupid to me. Does air pressure truly make that much of a difference?
Yes, the NFL has rules on air pressure inside footballs. However, inside the Wells Report, there is no definitive evidence that Tom Brady did anything wrong!
I do believe four games is excessive, however Brady destroying his phone seems to have sealed his fate for a four game suspension.
Tom Brady is still a four time Super Bowl Champion Quarterback, and that cannot be taken away.

Now That Tom Brady has been Unsuspended.....
I put the Patriots win total at 10 or more.
I agreed "Deflategate" was stupid, and I am not even a Patriots fan!
One week away from monster ratings for the Season Opener.....

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

Week Two NFL Preview
In your Week Two NFL Preview, Matt Cassel, the new Patriots Quarterback, takes on Brett Favre, the old Savvy NFL Veteran.
Sorry folks. I didn't have time to put up my week One NFL Preview, so I just put up my picks instead. I finished 8-7 in Week One. I'll try to do better this week.
SCHEDULE NOTE: THE RAVENS-TEXANS GAME WILL NOT BE PLAYED THIS WEEK DUE TO HURRICANE IKE. IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO WEEK TEN DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO RELIANT STADIUM.
EARLY GAMES 1:00 PM EST
Bears At Panthers
Both of these teams are coming off upset victories. Matt Forte ran all over the Indianapolis Colts defense and spoiled the debut of the new Lucas Oil Stadium.
Both defenses will limit the effectiveness of the opposing offenses. Whoever capitalizes on turnovers most will win this game.
BEARS OVER PANTHERS
Titans At Bengals
With an injured Vince Young, the Titans will turn to the veteran gunsliger Kerry Collins. If the Titans can stop the passing attack of Carson Palmer, they will win this game. That's a huge if, however.
BENGALS OVER TITANS
Packers At Lions
Aaron Rodgers Monday Night Football debut was a success. He did his first of many Lambeau leaps in the Monday Night win against the Vikings. The Detroit Lions lost their first game of the season against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.
Both Rudi Johnson and Ryan Grant could have big days against the opposing defense. If this game comes down to the passing game, Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson could have a couple of big yardage days.
LIONS OVER PACKERS
Bills at Jaguars
The Bills had a huge Week one. Roscoe Parrish had a huge return for a touchdown that broke the game open against the Seahawks, which the Bills won. The Jaguars lost 17-10 to the Titans.
The Bills looked good in week one. I think Marshawn Lynch and Maurice Jones-Drew will have two huge games.
JAGUARS OVER BILLS
Raiders At Chiefs
Both of these teams lost their Week One Games. The Chiefs lost to the Patriots 17-10. The Raiders lost to the Raiders 42-14.
Darren McFadden and Larry Johnson could tear up the opposing defense and the field.
CHIEFS OVER RAIDERS
Colts At Vikings
How funny. I picked these two teams to meet in the Super Bowl, and they are meeting each other in the second week of the season. If the Colts defense had trouble against Matt Forte, how much more trouble will they have against Adrian Peterson? Peyton Manning looked incredibly rusty in his loss to the Bears. Colts fans hope that Peyton will get his rhythm back this week.
VIKINGS OVER COLTS
Giants At Rams
The Giants looked solid in their week one debut. You would never have known the Rams were even on the field the way the Eagles blew them out in week one. The Rams have problems that will take more than a week to fix. The Giants will blitz early and often. Will the Rams be ready?
GIANTS OVER RAMS
Saints At Redskins
The Saints will be without Deep Threat Marques Colston. Drew Brees and Jason Campbell could engage in a Quarterback Duel. The team that makes the least mistakes will win.
REDSKINS OVER SAINTS
4:05 PM EST GAMES
49ers At Seahawks
Both of these teams lost in Week One. The 49ers were beaten by the Cardinals, while Seattle lost to the Bills. Alex Smith's season is over. Expect Frank Gore to be even more of a factor in this game. How will Jullius Jones fare? If this game comes down to the passing game, Seattle should win.
SEAHAWKS OVER 49ERS
Falcons At Buccaneers
Last Week, Matt Ryan had the greatest debut any Quarterback could ever have. Matt Ryan threw a 64 yard touchdown pass in the first pass he ever threw. The Buccaneers lost to the New Orleans Saints. Jeff Garcia may not play in this game.
FALCONS OVER BUCCANEERS
4: 15 PM EST GAMES
Dolphins At Cardinals
Last Week, Chad Pennington faced his old team and was outdueled by Brett Favre. Will he get outdueled by another Ginslinger, Kurt Warner? Warner made smart decsions in the Cardinals win over the 49ers. I'll go with Arizona. Their passing game could give them the edge in this game.
CARDINALS OVER DOLPHINS
Chargers At Broncos
The Broncos beat down the Raiders in their Week One win. The Chargers lost the game on the final play, as Jake Delhomme threw the game winning touchdown pass. Shawne Merriman will not play this season after all. LaDanian Tomlinson didn't have a big game against the Panthers, and I don't expect him to have one against Denver either. This game has two great young Quarterbacks in Jay Cutler and Phillip Rivers going head to head. If this game comes down to the running game and special teams, San Diego will win. If this game comes down to the passing game, Denver should win.
CHARGERS OVER BRONCOS
Jets At Patriots (The Game Of The Week)
This game should be fun to watch. You have Brett Favre, the experienced veteran taking on Matt Cassell, who will the Patriots Quarterback for the rest of the season now that Tom Brady is out for the season. Cassel was criticized for his play in Preseason. Patriots fans better hope he steps it up in the regular season, or New England could be in trouble.
I remember what I wrote in my blog after Brett Favre joined The Jets:
"The Patriots won't go 16-0 again this season. "Broadway Brett" will make sure of it."
I said that a month ago, and I stand by that now. The Jets will beat the Patriots.
JETS OVER PATRIOTS
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
BROWNS AT STEELERS
The Steelers impressed in their Week One debut. The Browns did not. Willie Parker rushed for three touchdowns against the Texans, while Jamal Lewis was shut down by the Cowboy defense. The Browns defense will have to stop Willie Parker if they want to win this game. Ben Rothelisberger could be poised for a big day through the air.
STELLERS OVER BROWNS
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
EAGLES AT COWBOYS
Donovan McNabb destroyed the Rams in Week One. Tony Romo survived against The Browns. Marion Barber bruised his ribs in Week One, so expect to see more of Felix Jones this season. He looked really good in his NFL debut. His first NFL Carry was a rushing touchdown. The Cowboys defense will have to blitz McNabb and force him to move around in the pocket. The Cwoboyswill also have to contain Reggie Brown, who looks great after one week.
The fact that the NFC East has two potential playoff contenders and the Super Bowl Champions is proof that the NFC East is the toughest divison in the NFL.
COWBOYS OVER EAGLES
Enjoy The Games Everyone!

Patriots Fans: 'Saying a Lot of Prayers'
Tom Brady will miss the rest of the season, and that sucks for the Patriots and the NFL.
I think The Patriots will weather the storm with Matt Cassell. I say they finish 10-6.
To The Colts fan that's happy about this: Imagine Peyton Manning going down for the season on a clean hit like what happened to Brady. Do You feel your Heart in your throat? That's how the Patriots fans feel.
I read an interesting article online that the Dallas Cowboys are the new favorites to win the Super Bowl. Note To The Betters: Wait for Dallas to win a playoff game before you say they will win the Super Bowl.

Report: Tom Brady Has Torn ACL, Out For Season

According to Radio Station WEEI, Tom Brady has a torn ACL. According to Yahoo Sports, Tom Brady will miss the rest of the season.
Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wide reciever Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.
Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, probably to undergo tests.
Matt Cassel came in and relieved Tom Brady, and looked pretty good in relief.
What is it about the Cassel brothers coming in to relieve someone today? While Matt relieved Tom Brady in the game, Jack Cassel, Matt's Older brother, relieved Houston Astros Pitcher Wandy Rodriguez after he left the game with a right oblique strain. Jack helped lead the Astros to a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies.
What are the chances of two backup brothers lifting their teams on the same afternoon?
“I can guarantee you that’s never happened in the history of sports before on the same day,” Houston’s Darin Erstad said. “Great job by Jack, and Matt as well. Great day for the Cassel family.”
Obviously, this is a HUGE INJURY FOR THE PATRIOTS AND THE NFL!!! The Face Of the NFL Is on the Shelf for the season, but do not fret Patriots fans. Matt Cassel will be a formidable backup.
Taking a look at the NFL Schedule next week, Who Do The New England Patriots Play Next Week? The New York Jets. And I Remember when I wrote on my blog about a month ago "The New England Patriots will not go 16-0 again this season. Brett Favre will make sure of it." Next week, We'll see if Favre turns out to be the killer of the Patriots undefeated Streak.

The 2008 NFL Schedule Is Out!
Eli Manning and the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants face off against Division Rival Washington in the Season Opener.
The Buffalo Bills will play in Toronto on Dec. 7 against Miami as part of an effort to expand their market to Canada.
This marks the first time the Bills will play during the regular season in Toronto, about a 1½-hour drive from Buffalo. The game was one of the highlights of the NFL schedule released Tuesday.
The season opens Sept. 4 with Washington, led by new head coach Jim Zorn, at the Super Bowl XLII champion New York Giants, a game already announced along with three others from the opening weekend: Chicago at Indianapolis on Sunday night, Sept. 7 and two games Monday night, Sept. 8: Minnesota at Green Bay and Denver at Oakland.
ESPN's Monday night schedule concludes with one of the NFL's most-heated rivalries, with the Packers hosting the Bears. Green Bay appears three times on Monday night, matching the Browns for most appearances on Monday night in 2008.
The Giants make their lone Monday night appearance on Oct. 13 when they travel to Cleveland. The Patriots, who flirted with a perfect season in 2007, will make their only Monday night appearance on Oct. 20 when they host the Broncos.
Also, the Houston Texans will make their first-ever appearance on Monday Night Football, hosting the Jaguars on Dec. 1.
For the second consecutive year, a regular-season game will be played at London's Wembley Stadium, with New Orleans, the "home" team, opposing San Diego on Oct. 26. The Dolphins and Giants played there last season.
New England, which was upset in the Super Bowl by the Giants but has a record 19-game regular-season winning streak, will open at home against Kansas City on Sept. 7. In what has become an annual must-see game, Tom Brady and the Patriots will visit Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Nov. 2.
Once again, there will be a Thanksgiving Day tripleheader. The Lions will host the the Titans at 12:30 p.m. ET, the Seahawks will visit the Cowboys at 4:15 p.m. ET and the Eagles will host the Cardinals at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Besides Zorn, three other NFL coaches will make their debuts this season. In Week 1, the Ravens' John Harbaugh will lead his team against the Cincinnati Bengals in Baltimore; the Dolphins' Tony Sparano will make his debut against the Jets in Miami; and the Falcons' Mike Smith will lead his team against the Lions.
The NFL Network games, in their third season, will start earlier this season with Denver at Cleveland on Thursday, Nov. 6. In all, there will be eight, but no Saturday night game on the final weekend when last year the Patriots finished an unbeaten regular season by beating the Giants 38-35 in a contest that also was shown by NBC and CBS because the NFL Network's dispute with major cable systems limited its availability.
The other NFL Network games are all on Thursday nights except for Saturday, Dec. 20, when Baltimore is at Dallas.

Super Bowl XLII Post Game Blog Post
The New York Giants Are Your World Champions!
Here Is Your Super Bowl XLII Post Game Blog Post. Here are some things I have noticed during this crazy day after the Super Bowl!!!
ALL HAIL THE NEW YORK GIANTS
This is More than a line in Madagascar, The NFL World is saying this after the Giants pulled off a stunning 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII Sunday.
PATRIOTS LEARN CHEATING DOESN'T PAY
This is the first Patriots loss in the Tom Brady era. This is the first Patriots loss since Super Bowl XXXI, when Brett Favre led Green Bay to their first title since the days of Bart Starr and Vince Lombardi in Super Bowl II.
You guy you have to feel sorry for is Junior Seau. This was his second trip to the Super Bowl, and once again, that Super Bowl Ring he has been craving has eluded him. Seau was with the San Diego Chargers when they were lit up by Steve Young, Jerry Rice, and the unstoppable San Francisco 49ers, as Steve Young set a Super Bowl Record that day, as he threw for six touchdown passes.
The Patriots were accused of videotaping the Jets during Week One, and now a new report has surface that a Patriots worker taped a Rams Practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI. I could understand why many fans would think the dynasty deserves an asterisk, especially with the new allegations surfacing.
I WANTED THE GIANTS TO WIN, BUT I PICKED THE PATRIOTS
That's My Story and I'm Sticking To It!
MANNINGS ADD TO GREATNESS
Last Year, Peyton Manning got the monkier of "Never Won A Super Bowl" off his back as Peyton won the Super Bowl MVP As His Colts beat The Chicago Bears 29-10 in Super Bowl XLI.
Eli hadn't been in the league long enough to have the monkier on him, but just like his brother Peyton, Eli Was victorious in his first Super Bowl Appearance.
BREAKING NEWS: THE GIANTS FOUND SUPERMAN'S KRYPTONITE
Superman, a.k.a Tom Brady, has a weakness after all. The Giants were the first team all season to bring defensive Pressure on Tom Brady all Sixty Minutes. The Giants Front Four kept collapsing the pocket, forcing the wounded Brady to move around. Brady kept tasting the artificial turf of University of Phoenix Stadium, and he never got to taste this much grass in a single game all season.
Certainly, this loss to the Giants will end the talk of Brady being better than Joe Montana, but he may still be able to be compared to the Gratest Of All Time, John Unitas, who lost the 1964 NFL Championship Game (There was no Super Bowl During this time, although Unitas did win Super Bowl V For His Beloved Baltimore Colts.)
Now that we've talked about Tom Brady, let's talk about his team and their place in history...
THE 2007 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: THE GREATEST SUPER BOWL CHUMPS OF ALL TIME
All the talk about the 2007 Patriots being better than the '72 Dolphins ended that night when Eli Manning and the New York Giants were hoisting up the Lombardi Trophy.The 2007 New ENgland Patriots are the Greatest Super Bowl Chumps of all time. Why? They went 16-0 in the regular season and were 18-0 entering the Super Bowl, and they weren't able to do what the '01 and '04 Patriots did. The '07 Patriots aren't as good as the '85 Bears, the '72 Dolphins, the '89 49ers, the '78 Steelers, the '93 Cowboys, or 37 other Super Bowl winning teams. What do these teams have that the '07 Patriots Don't Have?
A Super Bowl Victory.
FINALLY! A DEFENSIVE SUPER BOWL!
3-0 Giants at the end of the First Quarter. 7-3 Patriots at Halftime and the end of the third quarter. All leading us to that amazing fourth quarter which had three lead changes, a Super Bowl Record. You want to know what I was happiest about other than the Giants Winning? We Finally Had A Pitcher's Duel Of A Super Bowl!
THE MOTTO OF MADDEN 2005 RINGS TRUE
Defense Wins Championships. The 2007 New York Giants are current proof of that.

Giants Stun Patriots 17-14 In Super Bowl XLII
Eli Manning, just like his brother Peyton Last Year, Was Voted Super Bowl MVP.
With the Super Bowl on the line, look who had the perfection thing down pat: Eli Manning and the road-conquering New York Giants.
And what a beauty their 11th straight road victory was, a 17-14 Super Bowl win Sunday that shattered the New England Patriots' unblemished season.
In one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, Manning, New York's unlikely Mr. Cool, hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left. It was the Giants' fourth consecutive postseason away win and the first time the Patriots tasted defeat in more than a year.
"There's something about this team," Manning said. "The way we win games, and performed in the playoffs in the stretch. We had total confidence in ourselves. The players believed in each other."
It was the most bitter of losses, too, because 12-point favorite New England (18-1) was one play from winning and getting the ultimate revenge for being penalized for illegally taping opponents' defensive signals in the season opener against the New York Jets.
"I don't rank them," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "It's disappointing."
The Giants had the perfect answer for the suddenly imperfect Patriots: a big, bad defense and the improbable comeback led by Manning. Yes, Eli Manning, who outplayed league MVP Tom Brady and furthered the family legacy one year after older brother Peyton led Indianapolis to the title.
"I talked to Peyton and he said, 'Go in there, have some fun, you can do it."'
It was how Eli and the Giants did it.
After Brady found Randy Moss for a 6-yard touchdown with 2:42 to go, New England's defense couldn't stop a final, frantic 12-play, 83-yard drive. It featured Manning's unlikely sack-avoiding scramble and a spectacular leaping catch by David Tyree, who had scored New York's first touchdown on the opening drive of the fourth quarter.
"It's the greatest feeling in professional sports," Burress said before bursting into tears.
"That's a position you want to be in," said Manning, who followed Peyton's MVP performance last year with one of his own. "You can't write a better script. There were so many big plays on that drive."
And now the 1972 Miami Dolphins can pop another bottle of champagne in celebration of a record still intact, the NFL's only perfect season.
"As for the 1972 Dolphins, I don't take joy in the fact the Patriots lost - period," said Jim Mandich, the tight end on the 17-0 team. "But I do relish and savor the fact that there has only been one unbeaten team in the history of the NFL, and it is the 1972 Miami Dolphins."
The Patriots were done in not so much by the pressure of the first unbeaten season in 35 years as by the pressure of a smothering Giants pass rush. Brady, winner of his first three Super Bowls, was sacked five times, hurried a dozen more and at one point wound up on his knees, his hands on his hips following one of many poor throws in New England's lowest scoring game of the season.
"They played well," Belichick said. "They made some plays. We made some plays. They just made a few more. We played as hard as we could. We just couldn't make enough plays."
Hardly a familiar position for the record-setting Patriots and their megastar quarterback. This time, it wasn't the Patriots but the Giants making the game-winning rally. This time, the unflappable quarterback making the clutch play wasn't Brady but Manning, who had been booed by Giants fans for most of his four seasons for a lack of emotion.
Oddly, it was a loss to the Patriots that sparked New York's stunning run to its third Super Bowl and sixth NFL title. New England won 38-35 in Week 17 to finish the spotless regular season. But by playing hard in a meaningless game for them, the Giants (14-6) gained something of a swagger and Manning found his footing.
Their growing confidence carried them through playoff victories at Tampa, Dallas and Green Bay, and then past the mightiest opponent of all.
Not that the Patriots were very mighty this day. They even conceded with 1 second on the clock as Belichick ran across the field to shake the hand of jubilant Giants coach Tom Coughlin, then headed to the locker room, ignoring the final kneeldown.
That it was Manning taking that knee was stunning. He showed the maturity and brilliant precision late in the game usually associated with, well, Brady.
Peyton Manning was seen in a luxury box jumping up and pumping both fists when Burress, who didn't practice all week because of injuries, caught the winning score.
"We just hung in there on offense, kept executing," said Burress, who wasn't far off on the 23-17 prediction he made a few days ago. "It came down to one play and we made it."
The Giants became the first NFC wild card team to win a Super Bowl; four AFC teams have done it. They also are the second wild-card champions in three years, following the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 2005 season.
The upset also could be viewed as a source of revenge not only for the Giants, but for the other NFL teams over Spygate back in September. That cheating scandal made headlines again late in Super Bowl week, and could have placed an infinite cloud over New England's perfection.
There will be much more coverage of this tommorow! Congrats to all you Giants Fans, The Better Team Won Tonight!

Super Bowl XLII: Giants Vs Patriots
Congratulations to the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, who both earned the right to go to Glendale,Arizona to play in Super Bowl XLII. The New York Giants earned the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl with a thrilling 23-20 Overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers. The New England Patriots earned the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl with a 38-34 victory over the San Diego Chargers. In Week 17, these two teams met with the Patriots completing their perfect regular season, overcoming a twelve point defecit to win 38-35.
Key Players on both sides of the ball:
NEW ENGLAND O: Tom Brady, Patriots QB: Tom Brady already has three Super Bowl Rings, and is in unprecedented territory. With a win on Sunday, he will join Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw as the only quarterbacks with four Super Bowl Rings. Tom Brady has the chance to have four Super Bowl Rings at the age of thirty, which is unheard of in NFL History!
Tom has been well so far in the postseason, playing smart, being patient, not turning the ball over often, and putting the ball in the hands of his playmakers, Laurence Mauroney, Wes Welker and Randy Moss. Brady also has been bailed out when he turns the ball over (A Rarity) by this great New England defense.
Tom Brady will play smart, be patient, not turn the ball over, and go deep for his playmakers. Tom Brady has so many weapons, You cannot stop them all!
NEW ENGLAND D: Tedy Bruschi, Patriots LB: Bruschi is, no doubt the heart of the Patriots D. The Patriots D revolves around him and Rodney Harrison.
NEW YORK O: Eli Manning, Giants QB: Eli’s Brother, Peyton, won last year’s Super Bowl. Now the Pressure is on Eli to do the same. Eli has been making smart decisions and taking advantage of what the defense gives him. That’s why the Giants have won nine road games in a row and have won all of their playoff games, which were on the road. Eli will have to keep this formula working if the G-Men are to pull the upset.
NEW YORK D: Giants Front Four, : New York DE: The Giants Front Four will have to get pressure on Tom Brady, forcing him to throw the ball before he wants to. Easier said than done.
Coaches: Bill Bellichick already has his name on three Lombardi Trophies, although the circumstances about how he won them are now in question. Whether the wondering is fair or not, the fact that the Patriots are 18-0 in this era of the NFL, with Free Agency and the Salary Cap, Is Absolutely Incredible.
The Last time Tom Coughlin led the G-Men to the Playoffs Wild Card Weekend Last Season, The Eagles knocked them out with a last-second Field Goal. Now, The Giants have the last laugh, as they are where the Eagles were last time the Patriots were in the Super Bowl.
Special Teams: If the offense and defense are neutralized, Special Teams is going to be how the Super Bowl will be won. Will the Giants Special Teams squad be able to contain the Patriots speedster, Ellis Hobbs? Will the Patriots be able to score points when they need it most? Or will they have to settle for field goals from the Adequate Stephen Gostowski, who is a fine replacement for Adam Vinateiri, who already has three Super Bowl Rings, he got those with the Patriots?
I can't wait for the Super Bowl. I Watch The World Series and the NBA Finals, but the only Sporting Event I Record every season is The Super Bowl. This will be my seventh year recording the Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl I Recorded was Super Bowl XXXVI, when the New England Patriots pulled off the biggest upset since Super Bowl III.
Eli Manning has had the clock ticking for his chance at a ring since Peyton got his chance at a ring last season. Tom Brady already has plenty of Super Bowl Rings on his hand, with a fourth on the way with a win Sunday
Can The Giants win the Super Bowl? Absolutely they can. When The Monday after the Championship Games were over, I thought that if the Giants won, it would be an even bigger upset than the Jets beating the Colts in Super Bowl III. Now, I realize this won’t be the biggest upset since Super Bowl III. It Won’t even be the biggest upset since Super Bowl XXVI. There are a lot of people out there underestimating the G-Men.
Knowing the Super Bowl, anything is possible, and that is why everybody loves to watch it, even if they watch just for the commercials.
Prediction: Both Eli Manning and Tom Brady will go deep to their playmakers early and often. This would have been impossible last Super Bowl due to the rain, but with a Retractable Roof Stadium, there will be no rain in this Super Bowl forecast. The Patriots Front Four will have to stop Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. The Patriots Secondary will have to contain the 6'5 Plaxico Buriss. Ditto with The Giants defense having to contain Wes Welker and Randy Moss while also getting Pressure on Tom Brady. Once Again, easier said than done.
One Final Thing: What Is The Place in History for this Patriots Team if they win the Super Bowl? They will be the greatest Champs of all time.
What If They Lose The Super Bowl? They Will Be The Greatest Chumps of all time.
My Pick Is:
NEW ENGLAND OVER NEW YORK

Perfect Patriots To Face Road Warrior Giants In Super Bowl XLII
In Case You Missed It, Here is the end of the Giants-Packers Game Last Night!
The New England Patriots' path to perfection has one last hurdle: a New York team of road warriors hoping for one more Giant upset.
Tom Brady and the Patriots will try to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to complete an undefeated season when they face Eli Manning and the Giants on Feb. 3 in the Super Bowl at Glendale, Ariz.
Standing in the Patriots' way are the Giants and Eli Manning — Peyton's little brother, whose leadership abilities no longer can be questioned.
The oddsmakers might think differently. They installed New England as a 13 1/2-point favorite in the big game, in which New York will get another shot at destroying the Patriots' path to perfection.
New England won 38-35 in its final game of the regular season, rallying from a 12-point second-half deficit against the Giants. The teams also played in the preseason finale, when New England won — with Brady sitting that one out.
Brady and the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven years. A win in this one would rank the Patriots as perhaps the greatest champion in NFL history.
The Patriots never wavered.
Tom Brady threw an NFL-record 50 touchdown passes in the regular season, with 23 of those to Randy Moss, who topped Jerry Rice's record. Brady was also the league's Most Valuable Player in helping New England score an NFL-record 589 points.
Super Bowl XLII Is Sunday, February 3rd.

AFC & NFC Championship Previews
Tom Brady Is One Win Away From Taking His Undefeated Patriots Back To The Super Bowl.
Brett Favre Can Make A Return Trip To The Super Bowl. Favre's Packers Defeated The Patriots In Super Bowl XXXI.
Here Is Your AFC And NFC Championship Game Previews. By Sunday Night, we will know for sure who will be playing in Super Bowl XLII.
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: SAN DIEGO CHARGERS VS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 3:00 PM EST CBS
The San Diego Chargers, playing without Antonio Gates, LaDanian Tomlinson, or Phillip Rivers, were able to watch their backups rise to the occassion. The Colts receivers weren't able to, as Dallas Clark, who is normally so surehanded, dropped a sure first down to end the game, and San Diego defeated the Colts 28-24.
Lightning struck once for San Diego. It Isn't going to happen again.
New England has too many weapons, and their defense has so many ways to beat you. Plus, Phillip Rivers, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Antonio Gates will all not be 100 percent for this game. Now I hear the Chargers fan Protesting "We Beat Indy without Rivers, Tomlinson, or Gates" and I say, "True. You did beat the Colts. But You won't beat the Patriots." New England will be healthy for this game, they will mount a heavy pass rush,eqaualing many sacks of Phillip Rivers, and they will clog all of the holes, giving Tomlinson and Michael Turner nowhere to run. New England also causes turnovers, lots of turnovers. The Patriots cannot be beaten. The Patriots will hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Arizona, and will be known as the greatest team of all time.
PATRIOTS OVER CHARGERS
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: NEW YORK GIANTS AT GREEN BAY PACKERS 6:30 PM EST FOX
Now to the more interesting and intriguing Championship Game, the NFC Championship Game.
The Packers have had a magical quality about them all season, and that's not going to change.Green Bay has plenty of offense with Pro Bowl quarterback Brett Favre and running back Ryan Grant. The Packers also have an aggressive defense that is built around a fast front seven and a secondary full of playmakers and Pro Bowl-caliber cornerbacks. If that's not enough, the Packers also get to play the Giants in what should be a frigid Lambeau Field. If there's one positive for these teams with this cold weather,it is that both Ryan Grant and Brandon Jacobs will both get a lot of carries. That doesn't mean the Giants will fall apart Sunday. They are 9-1 on the road this season for a reason. It just means that their compelling playoff run is about to end. They have too many injuries in the secondary, and you know Brett Favre will take care of that. Brett Favre is about to face his old nemesis, the Patriots, again in a Super Bowl. Favre faced the Patriots and beat them in Super Bowl XXXI. The only difference between Super Bowl XXXI and Super Bowl XLII is that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will complete their magical run at an undefeated season and end the Storybook Season of Brett Favre and the Packers.
PACKERS OVER GIANTS
Watch the Games On Sunday!

NFL Divisional Playoff Preview
Here Is Your Preview for the NFL Divisional Playoffs. When Monday Morning rolls around, four teams will be left standing in their quest for the Lombardi Trophy.
SATURDAY GAMES
SEAHAWKS AT PACKERS 4:30 PM EST FOX
This game has many storylines, the biggest one being how Mike Holmgren, who coached Brett Favre into the Hall Of Famer he is today and Coached the Packers to a victory in Super Bowl XXXI, will be on the other sideline with his Seattle Seahawks, who he led to an appearance in Super Bowl XL.
This Packers team is the best one of this decade. This is Brett Favre's 21st Playoff Game, which will break a tie with Steve Young for fifth all time.
Favre's 11-9 postseason record includes only one win in his last five appearnaces, but the victory came against Seattle at Lambeau Field. That 33-27 Overtime Victory on January 4, 2004, is best remembered for Matt Hasselbeck saying after the coin toss at the end of regulation "We want the ball and we're going to score!" Hasselbeck went on to throw an interception in overtime which was returned 52 yards by Al Harris for the game winning touchdown.
That's the only playoff game in which Brett Favre has not thrown an interception.
Let's look ahead to the present... This game will be worth camping out in front of the HD Set for. I expect there to be plenty of scoring for both teams. Shaun Alexander and Ryan Grant will have to run for good yardage. I think Green Bay will beat Seattle to advance to the NFC Championship Game.
GREEN BAY OVER SEATTLE
JAGUARS AT PATRIOTS 8:00 PM EST CBS
The New England Patriots went undefeated in the Regular Season, but their perfect Regular season means nothing unless they have a perfect postseason as well.
With all the records this team set, if they go all the way and win the Super Bowl, they will no doubt be called the greatest team of all time.
The Jaguars are very underrated as a team. The two headed monster running game in the pairing of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. Taylor has the power to run over defenders, while Jones-Drew is the most elusive running back in the NFL today. I was watching the Jags play the Texans earlier this year and they were comapring Jones-Drew's elusiveness to Barry Sanders, and he has all the moves that Barry does!
Everyone knows the Jaguars can run, but they also have a very underrated defense, headlined by Marcus Stroud and John Henderson. The Patriots will not be able to run against Jacksonville today.
The Jaguars will have to play a ball control offensive attack. They will have to run it down the throats of the Patriots. The Jags have no passing game, so they have to run and keep running.
I'm torn. Part of me wants to see the Jags win while another part of me wants to see the Patriots go 16-0. I'll go with The Patriots because they have never lost at Foxboro.
PATRIOTS OVER JAGAUARS
SUNDAY GAMES
CHARGERS AT COLTS 1:00 PM EST CBS
Tony Dungy leads the Colts in their quest to repeat as Super Bowl Champions since The Patriots did in 2004 and 2005. They will face a San Diego team that beat them in the regular season 23-21, as Adam Vinateiri missed the game winning field goal. I think the Colts will beat the Chargers, but the Chargers will remember when they beat the Colts on Veteran's Day. That will be their modivation.
The Colts defense had better be prepared to see a heavy dose of the run, and they nedd to be prepares in case LT tries to leap over the pile into the endzone.
The Colts offense need to be prepared in case the Chargers send blitzers, and San Diego will blitz early and often. Peyton Manning will need to get rid of the ball quickly.
COLTS OVER CHARGERS
GIANTS VS COWBOYS 4:30 PM EST FOX
If the Cowboys defeat the Giants Sunday, the Cowboys will bwcome the first team to beat another team three times in the same season.
Dallas has not won a playoff game since 1996. They will try and change their luck against the Giants.
Eli Mannning looked solid against the Buccaneers defense last week, and I expect him to have much of the same success against this Cowboy defense.
The Cowboy defense needs to blitz early and often, get prssure in Eli's face, to get him to release the ball quicker than he wants to. This will hopefully lead to some turnovers.
The Passing game will have to rely more on Jason Witten, Terry Glenn, and Patrick Crayton because Terrell Owens will not be 100 percent for this game.
The Dallas Cowboys will beat the New York Giants to face Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game.
DALLAS OVER GREEN BAY.

Week Seventeen NFL Preview
In The Final Regular Season NFL Preview, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots chase perfection Saturday Night against Michael Strahan and the New York Giants.
Welcome to the final NFL Preview of 2007. It is the final regular season week for football, and there are a couple of teams who will know if they are in or out of the playoff picture by the end of this week.
SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: PATRIOTS AT GIANTS 8:15 PM EST(THE GAME OF THE WEEK)
Already the first team to go 15-0 in a regular season, New England now tries to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to take an unbeaten record into the playoffs. Miami went 14-0 that season and won the Super Bowl, but this year's Dolphins could not spoil the Patriots' perfect run last Sunday and lost 28-7 at Foxborough.
New York (10-5) is locked into the No. 5 seed in the NFC and might want to rest some starters because it does not have a first-round bye. The Giants will visit Tampa Bay in a wild-card game next weekend.
No opponent has had a good answer defensively for the Patriots, whose 551 points leave them needing just six to break the league's single-season record set by the 1998 Minnesota Vikings. The only time New England failed to total more than 20 points or 300 yards of offense came two weeks ago against the New York Jets in horrendous weather conditions, but there is no rain, snow or strong wind in the forecast for Saturday.
A clear night would only make things easier on Brady, Moss and New England's vaunted air attack. Single-season league records are in sight for both Pro Bowlers, with Brady needing two touchdown passes to break Peyton Manning's record of 49 and Moss two TD receptions away from surpassing Jerry Rice's record of 22.
Another record within the Patriots' grasp is the one for consecutive regular-season victories. They already have tied their own league record by winning 18 straight.
Tom Brady enters this game 105 yards shy of Drew Bledsoe's 1994 club record of 4,555.
This Game is on Three, Count them, three stations! Along with the NFL Network, the game is being simulcast on both CBS And NBC, not to mention the game is available for viewing online! You have No Excuse if you miss this game! Records will fall like dominoes tonight, I Can't Wait!

CAROLINA AT JACKSONVILLE
David Garrard and Jake Delhomme have both played well. I think this game will come down to the running attack, which gives Jacksonville the edge.
JACKSONVILLE OVER CAROLINA
DALLAS AT DETROIT
The Lions have dropped four in a row to drop back to .500. The Lions will drop below .500 after Sunday, as they will lose to the Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas will clinch the NFC East with a win, a Giants loss, or a tie and a Giants tie. Dallas clinches a First Round Bye with a win, a Seahawks loss or tie, a Buccaneers loss or tie, or with a Cowboys tie and a Giants loss or tie and Seahawks loss and a Buccaneers tie. The absence of Roy Williams will hurt Detroit's recieving corps. Dallas will beat Detroit.
DALLAS OVER DETROIT
MIAMI AT BUFFALLO
The Bills will keep Miami winless.
BUFFALLO OVER MIAMI
NEW YORK GIANTS AT PHILLY
This is a big NFC East matchup. The Giants won over Chicago last Sunday. Donovan McNabb start for the Eagles on Sunday. If McNabb starts, the Eagles win. If Not, the Giants win. I'll go with Philly. If Philly wins, Dallas cliches the NFC East. The Giants can clinch a playoff berth with a win and a Panthers loss or tie, a Lions or Saints loss or tie, and a Cardinals or Vikings loss or tie.
PHILLY OVER NEW YORK GIANTS
OAKLAND AT GREEN BAY
The Green Bay Packers will be rooting hard for Dallas while they have thrir game going on. If Dallas beats Detroit, Green Bay clinches the NFC North. Green Bay also clinches a Playoff spot if the Arizona Cardinals lose or tie. Green Bay will beat Oakland.
GREEN BAY OVER OAKLAND
SAN DIEGO AT TENNESEE
Vince Young and the Tennesee Titans will try to stop San Diego from clinching the AFC West title. San Diego cliches the AFC West title with a win and a Denver Broncos loss. I'll go with San Diego over Tennesee because I'm expecting San Diego's defense to step up.
SAN DIEGO OVER TENNESEE
ST LOUIS AT CINCINNATTI
The Bengals had a horrible Sunday Night game against the Steelers. They had every chance to beat the Steelers, but they still lost. Willie Parker fumbled three times, but Cincy still lost. I'll go with Cincy over St. Louis, especially because Marc Bulger will not be starting this week.
CINCY OVER ST LOUIS
TAMPA BAY AT HOUSTON
The Bucos clinch the NFC South Title with a win, a Saints or Panthers loss, or a tie and Sains loss or a tie and a Panthers loss or tie. Tampa Bay will beat Houston to clinch the NFC South.

SEATTLE OVER ARIZONA
MINNESOTA AT SAN FRANCISCO
Another turkey game on the schedule. Vikings win.
MINNESOTA OVER SAN FRANCISCO
LATE GAMES 4:15 PM EST
PITTSBURGH AT NEW ENGLAND (THE GAME OF THE WEEK)
New England looks to become the fourth team in the modern era to start an NFL season 13-0 and the first to win 16 straight regular-season games since the Steelers in 2004-05 when it hosts Pittsburgh on Sunday.
If there was a team equipped to end the Patriots' streaks, the Steelers (9-3) may fit the bill. After all, Pittsburgh ended New England's league-record 21-game winning streak -- 18 in the regular season -- on Oct. 31, 2004, when it was in the midst of winning 16 in a row. The Patriots returned the favor on Sept. 25, 2005, stopping the Steelers' streak with a come-from-behind win at Heinz Field.
Even though the Steelers are heavy underdogs this time heading into Foxborough, their top-ranked defense has allowed the fewest points, total yards and passing yards in the NFL. New England is No. 1 offensively in each of those categories.
The only teams to begin a season 13-0 since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger were 1972 Miami, 1998 Denver and 2005 Indianapolis.
New England can clinch home field advantage with a win and a Colts loss. With a win, the Patriots clinch a First Round bye. Pittsburgh clinches the AFC North with a win and a Browns loss. The Steelers clinch a Playoff berth with a win and a Titans loss.
I'll go with New England over Pittsburgh. New England has come close to losing twice. Maybe the third time they will trail and not be able to come back.
NEW ENGLAND OVER PITTSBURGH
CLEVELAND AT NEW YORK JETS
The Browns will be rooting for the Patriots while they play against the Jets. If Pittsburgh loses, Cleveland still has hope to win the AFC North. Cleveland will beat the Jets.
CLEVELAND OVER NEW YORK JETS
KANSAS CITY AT DENVER
This is a huge AFC West rivalry. Brodie Croyle has an arm, and he'll be going deep early and often.I'll go with Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY OVER DENVER
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 8:15 PM EST
INDIANAPOLIS AT BALTIMORE
This is always a huge rivalry game. The Colts used to play in Baltimore. They packed up the team in the middle of the night and moved to Indianapolis in 1983. Baltimore fans have not forgiven Jim Irsay and the Irsay family for moving the Colts out of Baltimore. Baltimore played really well last week and they almost beat the Patriots. I expect them to play well again this week, but they will bring the hammer down against Peyton Manning and the Colts. Despite that, I think Indy will find a way to win and beat the Ravens.
INDY OVER BALTIMORE
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 8:30 PM EST
NEW ORLEANS AT ATLANTA
No Contest, Saints win.
NEW ORLEANS OVER ATLANTA

Week Twelve NFL Preview
Randy Moss and the New England Patriots face off against the Philladelphia Eagles, who will be without Donovan McNabb, on Sunday Night Football.
Here is your Weeek Twelve NFL Preview. Some of the Games from week twelve were settled on Thanksgiving Day, so, if you missed any of it, here's a recap.
Brett Favre led his Packers to victory over their division rival Detroit Lions 27-26.
Tony Romo led the Cowboys to victory 34-3 over the New York Jets.
Peyton Manning and the Colts won a Brutally Sloppy Game in Atlanta 31-13.

Buffallo At Jacksonville 1:00 PM EST
Jacksonville is coming off a win over the San Diego Chargers. The Bills are coming off a 46 point Beatdown to their Division Rival Patriots. I'll go with Jacksonville, but Buffalo has not layed down this season.
JACKSONVILLE OVER BUFFALLO
Houston At Cleveland 1:00 PM EST
Both of these teams are coming off upset victories. Mario Williams won this version of the debate of "Who Really Should have gone Number One in the 2005 draft?" with his performance as the Texans beat The Saints. Cleveland is coming off an unbelievable and improbable win against the Ravens in which Phil dawson's Game tying 51 Yard Field Goal bounced off the left upright, then hit off the center crossbar, before coming to rest on the field. The Ravens walked off the field. They thought they won the game. A conference with the officials and the call was overturned.
Don't Believe Me? Watch The Video!
Cleveland went on to win 33-30 in Overtime.
Both of these teams have Moentum. Cleveland has more. Obviously. When An Improbable like that happens, many Sports fans look to the heavens. I'll go with Cleveland Over Houston, but I don't think we will ever see a kick like that ever again.
CLEVELAND OVER HOUSTON
Minnessota At New York Giants 1:00 PM EST
If Adrian Peterson starts, Minnesota's chances to win improve dramatically. The Vikings beat a bad Raiders team, and Chester Taylor had almost 200 yards rushing.The Giants beat the Lions last week, starting their two game losing streak. I'll go with New York over Minnesota.
NEW YORK GIANTS OVER MINNESOTA
New Orleans At Carolina 1:00 PM EST
Both of these teams are coming off losses. New Orleans lost to the Texans, and Carolina lost to the Green Bay Packers. One of these team's losing streaks is going to end.
NEW ORLEANS AT CAROLINA
Oakland At Kansas City 1:00 PM EST
A big AFC West Rivalry. Kansas City needs a win to keep pace with Denver for the AFC West lead.
KANSAS CITY OVER OAKLAND
Seattle At St. Louis 1;00 PM EST
I'll pick Seattle Over St. Louis. Sean Alexader and Steven Jackson will be equally competing for rushing yards,
SEATTLE OVER ST.LOUIS
Tennesee At Cincinnatti 1:00 PM EST
The Titans and Bengals are both coming off two straight losses. Vince Young can be dangerous if his line protects good for him. Same with Carson Palmer. I'll go with Tennsesee over cincy.
TENNESEE OVER CINCY
Washington At Tampa Bay 1;00 PM EST
Tampa Bay beat down Atlanta last week. Washington lost to the Cowboys last week. Tamoa Bay beats The Redskins.
TAMPA BAY OVER WASHINGTON
San Francisco At Arizona 4:05 PM EST
This is a big NFC West Rivalry. If Arizona beats the 49ers, they keep their Playoff Hopes Alive. Arizona wins.
ARIZONA OVER SAN FRANCISCO
Denver At Chicago 4:15 PM EST
This is a meaningless game. I said Chicago had to win last week against the Seahawks to keep hope alive. They didn't win. The Bears and Broncos are both out of the playoffs. I'll pick Chicago because they're at home.
CHICAGO OVER DENVER
Baltimore At San Diego 4:15 PM EST
Nothing has gone right for the Ravens this season. They will not make the playoffs this season. San Diego will also be on the outside looking in. I'm going to hype up the match like this: Last Year, these two teams were expected to meet up in the Playoffs.
SAN DIEGO OVER BALTIMORE.
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Philly Vs New England (The Game Of The Week) 7:15 PM EST
Randy Moss and the New England Patriots face off against the Philladelphia Eagles, who will be without Donovan McNabb, on Sunday Night Football. Philly has no chance to win. New England wins again.
NEW ENGLAND OVER PHILLADELPHIA
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Miami vs Pittsburgh 7:30 PM EST

Week Nine NFL Preview
Tom Brady meets up with Peyton Manning in the Game Of The Week and The Regular Season Game Of The Year.
Week Nine of NFL Season Starts Tommorow. Look below for a preview of every game with analysis and a pick of the winner.
Arizona At Tampa Bay 1:00 PM EST
Kurt Warner is hoping to rebound after throwing three interceptions two weeks ago against The Redskins. Tampa Bay will win the game. If Jeff garcia on target and the defense picks off Warner a couple of times, this one's in the bag.
TAMPA BAY OVER ARIZONA
Carolina At Tennesee 1:00 PM EST
Both of these teams have players injured at the Quarterback Spot. If David Carr cannot start for The Panthers, Vinny Testaverde's feel good story will continue for another week. If Vince Young is healthy for this game, Tennesee's Offensive Funk is over.
TENNESEE OVER CAROLINA
CINCINNATTI AT BUFFALLO 1:00 PM EST
The Buffalo Bills won last week as they defeated the New York Jets. Cincinnatti lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Buffalo has a two headed monster at Quarterback named Trent Losman, A Mixture of J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards. Okay, I'm kidding on that one. But my point is that it doesn't matter which one of these two aren't playing, the other steps up and plays just as well. The Bengals have easily been the most inconsistent team in the NFL. The Bills will win this game.
BUFFALO OVER CINCINNATTI
DENVER AT DETROIT 1:00 PM EST
Denver will win this game. I have not been sold on the Lions all season, but I also have not been sold on the Broncos. It's a toss up. I'll go with the Lions because they're at home.
DETROIT OVER DENVER
GREEN BAY AT KANSAS CITY 1:00 PM EST
If Green Bay cannot stop Larry Johnson, the Packers are in trouble. I'll go with the Chiefs because of Larry Johnson.
KANSAS CITY OVER GREEN BAY
JACKSONVILLE AT NEW ORLEANS 1:00 PM EST
This is a great matchup at the running back spot. Maurice Jones-Drew versus Reggie Bush. I'll go with The Saints because they are at home.
MEW ORLEANS OVER JACKSONVILLE
SAN DIEGO AT MINNESOTA 1:00 PM EST
The Present at the running back spot, LaDanian Tomlinson, taking on the future of the Running Back Spot, Adrian Peterson. Minnesota has a quarterback controversy now. Kelly Holcomb has surpassed Tavaris Jackson as the Starting Quarterback. I'll go with San Diego to win this game.
SAN DIEGO OVER MINNESOTA
SAN FRANCISCO AT ATLANTA 1:00 PM EST
San Francisco, even without Alex Smith under center, will win this game, as Atlanta is simply not good enough to beat them.
SAN FRANCISCO OVER ATLANTA
WASHINGTON AT NEW YORK JETS 1:00 PM EST
Washington will rebound from their beatdown defeat by the Patriots last week. The calls by Hets fans to Start Kellen Clemens will only get louder after this game.
WASHINGTON OVER NEW YORK JETS
Seattle At Cleveland 4:05 PM EST
Cleveland is coming off a win against the Hapless Rams. The Primetime game nobody will be watching. I'll go with Seattle because of Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck.
SEATTLE OVER CLEVELAND
HOUSTON AT OAKLAND 4:05 PM EST
This game alone has caused many people to order NFL Sunday Ticket, as the state of California and Some of Texas will be watching this loathsome contest. I'll go with Oakland only because Matt Schaub is not starting for the Texans in this game.
OAKLAND OVER HOUSTON
NEW ENGLAND AT INDIANAPOLIS 4:15 PM EST THE GAME OF THE WEEK AND GAME OF THE YEAR, UNTIL THE SUPER BOWL.
Whenever Tom Brady's Patriots meet up against Peyton Manning's Colts, fieworks are going to fly. The Colts won both of their regular season matchups in the regular season against The Colts last season. The Patriots had a 17 point lead at the end of the first Half of last season's AFC Championship Game until Peyton Manning and his Colts stormed back to finally take the lead on a one yard Touchdown Run by Joseph Addai with one minute remaining. The Patriots had to go eighty yards in just about one minute, but Merlin Jackson intercepted Tom Brady and The Indianapolis Colts won the right to go to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17.
Fast Forward to the offseason.The Patriots, already great, became greater with the addition of Randy Moss and Wes Welker on Offense and Adalius Thomas on Defense. The 8-0 Patriots are meeting up against the 7-0 Colts. I think the winner of this game will win Super Bowl XLII.
The Patriots have scored at least 30 points in every game this season. The Patriots have won every game by at least 17 points this season. The Colts are getting Marvin Harrison back for this game, but they have not needed him. It doesn't matter who The Colta re missing, whether it's Marvin Harrison, or Joseph Addai, The Colts have plugged up the holes, and they have found a way to win. The Colts will have to score early and often, and they will have to protect against the blitz, because the Patriots blitz early and often. Everyone knows that any quarterback gets nervous when there are two are three guys ready to pounce on them. Peyton will have to stick with the short passing game.
This is the game of the year until the Super Bowl. I am picking The Patriots to win this game.
NEW ENGLAND OVER INDIANAPOLIS
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Dallas At Philladelphia 7:15 PM EST
If It Wasn't for Indianapolis versus New England, this would be the game of the week. Dallas versus Philladelphia is always a big NFC East Matchup, and it is no exception here. This is Tony Romo's first game since signing that six year, $60 Million extension. I go with the Cowboys because they are the best team in the NFC.
DALLAS OVER PHILLADELPHIA
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Baltimore at Pittsburgh 8:30 PM EST
This is always a big AFC North Rivalry, and it is no exception here. Baltimore at times has looked great. Other times, they have looked mediocre. Other times, they have looked awful. Inconsistency is what will come back to hurt The Ravens. Pittsburgh wins this game.
PIITSBURGH OVER BALTIMORE
Enjoy Your Sunday! watch the games!

NFL Week Eight Preview
The New Wembley Stadium normally is the host of Soccer Games, but on Sunday, it will play host to the Dolphins and the Giants. In the future, Wembley Stadium may play host to a Super Bowl.
It is time for the NFL Midterm Exam. Get your pencils ready. Make sure they are sharpened. It is time for the Midterm.
Cleveland vs. St. Louis 1:00 PM EST
Cleveland is coming off a bye. Two weeks ago, The Browns lost to the Patriots. The Rams are coming off a loss, as they have not won a game all season. St. Louis and Miami are both in the running to go 0-16, which has never happened in the history of the NFL. I expect both Miami and St. Louis to lose this week, therfore keeping alive their chances to go completely winless.
BROWNS OVER RAMS
Detroit At Chicago 1:00 PM EST
This is Chicago's first meeting with detroit since Detroit spoiled the debut of Brian Griese as Quarterback of the Bears, as the Lions scored an NFL Recod 35 points in the fourth Quarter to beat the Bears. Brian Griese led the Bears on a game winning 95 yard drive last week as the Bears defeated the Philladelphia Eagles. The Lions are coming off a victory over the Buccaneers. I pick Chicago to win because they are at home. The defense will need to step up and they have to contain Calvin Johnson. If they can do that, they win this game.
CHICAGO OVER DETROIT
Indianapolis at Carolina 1:00 PM EST
Vinny Testaverde gets the call to quarterback the Panthers again this week. Indianapolis is hoping to remain undefeated so they can face the Patriots with a 8-0 record. This game against Carolina should be a good game. I expect Indianapolis to win, but if they start going through the mostions, they will lose this game.
INDIANAPOLIS OVER CAROLINA
New York Giants vs Miami Dolphins (THE GAME OF THE WEEK)
This game will be played at the beautiful New Wembley Stadium in London, England. NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell has expressed the idea of giving London a Super Bowl, which I am for, if they do it very carefully. Football is America's Game. America is losing it's own game, but if it gets some more fans, it will all be worth it. However, if America says to England "You're gonna watch NFL Football and you're gonna love it more than English Football", then their whole strategy will backfire. How will England react to America getting a Super Bowl? They will probably react the much differently than the way America reacted to the news that David Beckham was coming to America to play Soccer in Major League Soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy. England and Europe has never really cared about NFL Football. Maybe if we give them a Super Bowl or a matchup with two really good teams playing each other, maybe that will change. The NFL Europa League shut down due to lack of talent. If England got the Colts and the Patriots to play each other in England, that would draw much more fanfare than one winless team playing a slightly better team. The NFL is willing to do anything to get some new fans, so let's see two good teams play each other in London.
Back to the actual game, New York's defense is performing better than I think anyone could have expected. I think Miami's team is much worse than anyone could have expected, and the fact they are talking about Ricky Williams yet again shows how badly the Dolphins are this season. I expect the New York Giants to win this game because of their defense.
NEW YORK GIANTS OVER MIAMI
Oakland at Tennesee 1:00 PM EST
Rob Bironas tied an NFL Record in the first half of the game by making five field goals. He made three more, including the game winner, to set a new NFL Record with Eight field goals in a game. I expect Tennesee to win, whether or not Vince Young is healthy. Kerry Collins has always been a good veteran backup, and he proved that against Houston as he did just enough to give Tennesee the victory.
TENNESEE OVER OAKLAND
Philladelphia at Minnesota 1:00 PM EST
This game features two excellent running backs. Brian Westbrook versus Adrian Peterson for the Vikings. Philladelphia has underperformed so badly this season. Donovan McNabb has not helped himself get off the hot seat, as he has had another mediocre season. Hopefully, he is able to stay healthy for the whole season, otherwise that will be the final straw that breaks the camel's back. I expect the Eagles to win this game. Next Sunday Night, the Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys, who are off this week.
PHILLY OVER MINNESOTA
LATE GAMES
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 4:05 PM EST
This is always a big AFC North battle. Pittsburgh is coming off a last second defeat to the Denver Broncos. cincinnatti is coming off a victory over the Jets.Chad Pennington faces Carson Palmer, two good quarterbacks going at it. Pittsburgh wins this game because of defese.
PITTSBURGH OVER CINCINNATTI
BUFFALO AT NEW YORK JETS 4:05 PM EST
Trent Edwards and J.P. Losman are currently slugging it out for the Starting Quarterback job in Buffallo. If Trent Edwards can hold continue performing well, he will make J.P. Losman pack his bags to become the starting quarterback somewhere else. If thomas Jones and Marshawn Lynch both find daylight, the runing game will be how those teams win the game.
NEW YORK JETS OVER BUFFALO
Houston at San Diego 4:15 PM EST
This game will still go on despite the raging wildfires in California. The Chargers practiced in Arizona this week while the league was deciding what to do with this game. I think San Diego will win this game. Their gearts are heavy watching those wildfires, and they are going to want to perform well in front of their fans, many of which are hurting with them.
SAN DIEGO OVER HOUSTON
Jacksonville At Tampa Bay 4:15 PM EST
Jacksonville has a major question mark as to who will be their quarterback as David Gerrard is injured. Quinn Gray may end up starting for the Jaguars this week. If jacksonville can keep running the ball as well as they did two weeks ago against Houston, they will win the game. Jeff Garcia has revitalized the Bucs. I go with Tampa Bay because they are not dealing with the injury bug, but if jacksonville can continue running the ball well, they will win this game.
TAMPA BAY OVER JACKSONVILLE
New Orleans at San Francisco 4:15 PM EST
Alex Smith may be back quarterbacking the 49ers this week. If he does, he will provide the 49ers with leadership they have been so badly missing. Frank Gore, the prolific 49ers running back, called out his team this week for not trusting their offensive coordinator. this game really could go either way. I pick the Saints because of Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. If those two have good numbers, the Saints will win the game.
NEW ORLEANS OVER SAN FRANCISCO
Washington At New England 4:15 PM EST
New England will win this game. They are too much on fire to lose this game. Tom Brady set a new career high in Touchdown Passes against the Dolphins last week with six touchdown passes. New England will use this game as target Practice for when they play the Colts next Sunday.
NEW ENGLAND OVER WASHINGTON
SUNDAY NIGHT
Since there is no Sunday Night Football this week due to Game Four of the World Series taking place that night, I've decided to use this space to blog about the World Series to this point. The series shifts to Colorado Saturday and Sunday. The Colorado Rockies needs a win Saturday Night to keep hope alive to win the World Series. On Saturday Night, Josh Fogg opposes Daisuke Mastuzaka. Jon Lester, the best individual story in baseball this season, will be opposed by Aaron Cook for the Rockies. David Ortiz will play first base due to there being no Designated Hitter in the National League. I feel like picking a winner to this game. I expect Colorado to win one of these two games, but I still expect the final result of the 2007 World Series to be:
BOSTON OVER COLORADO
Monday Night Football
Packers vs. Broncos 8:30 PM EST
While I am on the subject of the World Series, if Colorado is able to win one of the games on Saturday or Sunday, Game Five of the World Series will be at Coors Field in Denver. Less than a mile away in Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium, the home of the Denver Broncos. I expect Boston to wrap up Game Five of the World Series on Monday Night (Josh Beckett is on the mound for the Red Sox, opposed by Jeff Framcis.) I also expect Green Bay to beat Denver on Monday Night Football.
GREEN BAY OVER DENVER
If you studied and did your homework, you passed the midterm! Congratulations! Enjoy Your Sunday!
