WEEK 2 PREVIEW
In case you haven't noticed, I practically worship NFL football. I think as a sport, it reings superior to every other. It's gameplay, and strategy go far beyond and are far superior than any other sport. The calibur of athlete that competes in the NFL is second to none. This love, and adoration for this league will continue to bleed into this Blog week after week, so be ready.
Week 1 in the NFL left fans everywhere aching for more. The domination of the Bears, Ravens and Chargers left us in awe. The battle of blood in the Indy/Giants game was glorious. Even the comeback heroics of the Vikings inspired the soul. But, we shouldn't dwell on what's past, as there is a glorious week waiting in the reigns for NFL fans.
This week will showcase a number of divisonal matchups, such as the Bronco's and the Cheifs, the Redskins and the Cowboys, Cardinals and Seahawks, and Indy and the Texans, just to name a few. Be prepared to be glued to your television for a number of these games, as the love lost between these teams won't add up to much.
A preview wouldn't be a preview without someone making some picks. I'm a gambling man, and have already purchased my pro-line tickets, but if you haven't here's some good ones to bet on.
If you want a ticket that WILL win, then here's your picks:
Indy over theTexans
The Texans aren't the two win team they were a year ago, but even with their upgrades on offense, and defense, this team will do nothing to stop the destructive offense of Payton and friends. Expect the Indy offense to put up alot of points, and also expect the front seven of the Colts to put alot of pressure on David Carr, and his inexperienced O-Line, as the Texans will be forced to pass more than usual, with the lack of a steady back in the backfield.
Seattle over the Cardinals
With the addition of Edggerin James, and a healthy Kurt Warner behind centre, there was alot of excitement in Arizona for this year. They are the only team in the NFC West that was expected to challenge the Seahawks in their division, but don't expect a change in standings this year. This should be a high scoring affair, as both the Cards and Hawks field great offenses. If you can pick the Over/Under on this game, definately go over, but don't even think of taking the Cards to pull out the road game upset.
Giants over the Eagles
Alot people would say I'm crazy for picking an away team to win a game in the NFL, as the stats over the years have shown such a dominance by the home team, but this is a game where I think the Giants could pull the upset. McNabb looked good to open up the season, but people soon forget that the Eagles were playing a team that held the worst record in the NFL a year ago. The Eagles remain a floundering seagull on offense, and a hurting unit on defense. The Giants, Eli Manning is coming into his own on offense, and has never before had the offense in NY looking so good. Expect the Giants to not only pull off the win, but to pull it off by a large margin.
Chargers over the Titans
This may seem like a gimme call, but my undying love for the Chargers can't be left off my blog. The Chargers will ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE the Titans. They will suffocate them on defense, and pick them apart on offense. Expect Rivers to have a Pro-Bowl like performance, utilizing Jackson, McCardell, Gates and Tomlinson all over the place. The Chargers offensive numbers will dwarf their past weeks, and the defense will be equally as dominant. Expect a similar game review from last week on the blog.
Hope you enjoy the games this weekend. Don't let your meat loaf.
Oh, and don't forget. The Leafs SUCK

Good picks. I gotta respect the 4/4 production despite the closeness of the Giants/Eagles game. HOWEVER, next week, I would like to see your picks on a few less obvious games like Panthers/Bucs or Bengals/Steelers.
