Week Ten Power Rankings

Nov 13th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFL

We are going into week 10 of the NFL season and there are 2 undefeated teams left in the league, the Saints and the Colts, 1 one loss team in the Vikings and 5 two loss teams. I believe after this week we will have only 1 one loss team and a shuffle in the [...]



Want Fries With That, Brett?

Oct 6th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFL

The NFL season is a quarter of the way through the Super Bowl champs are at .500, the Titans have yet to win a game and Favre is having a hard time deciding which value meal to get. Go for Filet o’ Fish, Brett. As we head into week 5 of the season its time [...]



AFC North Predictions

Sep 7th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: AFC North, NFL

Are you ready for Pittsburgh and Baltimore to go at it again? The AFC North is a knock down, slug em, division and we will see more of that this year with Pittsburgh and Baltimore taking it out on their opponentsĀ  as they vie for the AFC North title. Pittsburgh is coming off of a [...]



AFC East Predictions

Sep 7th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: AFC East, NFL

Tom Brady is back. Does that mean the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl? Seems everything is kosher in New England again. Brady is healthy and back. So healthy that New England thinks it only needs one backup quarterback and a rookie at that. He’ll be surrounded by good receivers, but on the other [...]



AFC South Predictions

Sep 7th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: AFC South, NFL

I think people will be surprised whom I pick to finish in last place in the AFC South. The Titans were very close to going to the Super Bowl last year if they didn’t have to play the Steelers for a second time and this year they will be making another run for it. They [...]



NFC East Predictions

Sep 7th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFC East, NFL

NFC East is a tough division, quite possibly the toughest division in the NFL, and almost as hard to predict what the outcome will be. You have the Giants who won a Super Bowl two season ago, Philly, Dallas and certainly not last(or maybe) Washington. You have the Giants who won a Super Bowl just [...]



NFC South Preview

Sep 7th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFC South, NFL

I don’t now why, but the NFC South seems to be the hardest division to predict for me. Not because its the toughest, just because of the unknowns. Will Atlanta’s Matt Ryan have a Sophomore slump or continue what he started in his rookie season? Will the Saints high flying offense finally get a defense [...]



NFC North Predictions

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFL

The NFC North might one of the toughest divisional battles in the NFL this year. You have the Vikings with a strong offensive line, the NFL’s best running back and a strong defense. All they are missing is a quarterback. They think they found him in Favre. The Bears made the deal of the year [...]



NFC West Predictions

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: NFL

Can the Arizona Cards repeat and make it to the Super Bowl again this year? I do believe they have the high flying offense to win the lowly NFC West, but I doubt they return to the Super Bowl. With the Rams having their problems, the Seahawks with no clear running game and San Francisco [...]



AFC West Predictions

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: AFC West, NFL

The question isn’t who will win the AFC West. The question is who will come in second to the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers have the top defense in the division, Phillip Rivers is proving to be the quarterback everyone thought he could be and they have the duo of LT and Sproles. I don’t [...]
