Titans and Cardinals Test the Waters Monday Night

The Arizona Cardinals will take on the Tennessee Titans on Monday night without eventual Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner. Warner’s contributions to the Cardinals in 2009 were substantial, and will be hard to replace. Arizona is going to put their post-season hopes on the shoulders of Matt Leinart. Leinart started his NFL career as a starter in his rookie season, but eventually benched due to a lack of production and motivation. Many football handicappers had him being an eventual Pro-Bowl... 

Vikings and 49ers Collide in a Defensive Showdown

The San Francisco 49ers are going to surprise some people this year. Although this is the pre-season, they are taking it very seriously……just ask Indianapolis. They handed the Colts a 37-17 beating, and are building confidence quickly. Alex Smith will be the key to the Niners success this year. He was a number 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, just a 5 years ago, and has not lived up to the hype. On his behalf, he has had to deal with several different offensive coordinators during his tenure,... 

Saints and Texans Collide Saturday in an Offensive Showdown

The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints will have their hands full Saturday as they take on the up-and-coming Houston Texans in week 3 of the NFL Pre-Season. Matt Schaub led the league in passing yards last year with 4770 yards. Drew Brees didn’t have quite as many yards, but his efficiency was evident with his 109 quarterback rating. Both teams expect to win with offense which isn’t generally the case in the NFL, but they have numerous weapons on that side of the ball. Who Dat nation is in... 

Bengals & Eagles try to Shake off 2009 Playoffs Friday

The new look Philadelphia Eagles will try to build some momentum heading into the regular season as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in week 3 of the pre-season. Both of these teams have something to prove after first round losses in the playoffs last season. The Eagles are hoping that Kevin Kolb can take over this offense, and run it they way he did when he threw for 2 consecutive 300 yard games in Donovan McNabb’s absence. Cincinnati is hoping that Carson Palmer can get back to the form he... 

Patriots take on Falcons in week 2 Pre-Season Match-Up

The Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots will do battle Thursday night in week 2 of the NFL pre-season. These teams may have been at opposite ends of the NFL spectrum over the last few years, but the gap is getting closer. Matt Ryan is one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, and Michael Turner has the capability of being one of the best running backs in the league. Turner led the NFL in carries in 2008. Many NFL fantasy football experts had him slated as a top 5 pick for the 2009 season,... 

San Francisco Signs Westbrook to 1-Year Deal

The San Francisco 49ers have signed ex-Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook to a 1 year contract for $1.25 million with an additional $1.25 million in incentives. Westbrook has been decimated with injuries lately, but has the potential to be a tremendous back up to starter Frank Gore. Westbrook was one of the best backs in the league between 2006 and 2008. He averaged 1200 yards on the ground with 8 touchdowns, and 625 yards receiving with 4 touchdowns each year during that period. In... 

Monday Night Football- Battle of New York

With all the hype surrounding the New York Jets, many people have forgotten that the New York Giants are just 3 years removed from winning the Super Bowl. A horrible second half of the 2009 season has put the Giants under-the-radar heading into this year. NFL experts have set the Jets win total at 9.5 this season and the Giants at 8.5. This is not a huge disparity, and could be due to the strength of the Giants division. Monday night, these 2 teams will meet up in their first pre-season game of the... 

San Francisco starts 2010 Pre-Season against Colts

Many handicappers have made bold NFL picks in regards to the San Francisco 49ers this season. The oddsmakers in Vegas has set the over/ under on wins for the 2010 Niners at 8.5. This is a rather bold football prediction considering how difficult their schedule is this year. San Francisco should get a fairly good barometer of where they stand in their first pre-season game as they take on the perennial powerhouse Indianapolis Colts Sunday. Defensively, the Niners have shown that they are getting to... 

New Look Redskins Shred Buffalo in 1st Pre-Season Game

The Washington Redskins are off to a great start with Donovan McNabb under center. It may only be the first pre-season game of the year, but there is a different aura surrounding the team thus far. A 42-17 thrashing of the Buffalo Bills Friday night is a good indication that this team is ready and confident in their ability to get to the next level this year. The next level is obviously the playoffs, and possibly a Conference Championship appearance. Washington has been mired in mediocrity for year... 

Raiders Take Down Dallas in First NFL Pre-Season Game

The Oakland Raiders have been a trendy pick by many NFL handicappers to be a surprise team in 2010. After watching their first pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys, it looks as though those football experts may be right. The Raiders scored 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to pull out a 17-9 win over Dallas on Thursday. It’s obviously far too early to anoint the Raiders the Super Bowl Champions this year, but they showed improvement in every facet of the game Thursday. Defensively,...
