NFL Recap

Sorry it's been so long, life is crazy!

Go Rockies! Tulo for Rookie of the Year no doubt, and let me say, i've been repping Matt Holliday since two years ago, so i'm driving the band wagon.

anyway, NFL recap, what do we know. i could write a book right here, but i know i'd lose all 5 of you readers, so lets just hit some quick notes.

-The Cleveland Browns will make a run at going .500. I said this before the season started and while i really didn't expect Derek Anderson to be our QB, i'm not that disappointed. I feel like we've gotten better every week, even though we lost last week at Oakland, but we had that game, on the road. I thought it was a gritty performance, and i expect we'll give Baltimore a run for their money this weekend.

-As i said a month ago, Denver is in trouble. This weekend won't be any better. Having the best secondary doesn't mean crap if you can't stop the run, or score touchdowns.

-Pittsburgh and maybe even Dallas are fake. Indy and New England are the class of this league, and right now, i'd put New England on top. Why is Pitt fake? well even though they'll probably be 4-0 after this weekend, lets recap their opponents the last 3 weeks; @ Cle (w/frye guy), BUF, and the SFO. So they beat both the Buffaloes and 49ers at home. woohoo.

-Steven Jackson and Tomlinson will be fine, they'll put up 1200-1500 yards this season whereas Larry Johnson is in trouble. Do i have to explain why?

-I also think the Packers will come back down to earth, i don't even think they'll win that division.

-this weekend has Jamal Lewis playing against the Ravens, Matt Schaub playing against the Falcons, Ken Whisenhunt coaching against the Steelers, and Daunte Culpepper playing against the Dolphins. welcome home.

-upset special of the week? how about St Louis giving the Cowboys a game without Steven Jackson.

-for those of you surprised at how bad the Saints are, quick, get off the bus! they are terrible, and will be even worse now without the Deuce! why are they terrible? well, i think it goes back to last year when they majorly overachieved, and now they're just playing to their own talent level.

-and i gotta say, the Dolphins passing on Brady Quinn to draft Ted Ginn Jr is looking so dumb these days, 0-3 with Trent Green at QB and a bust for RB with Ronnie Brown. You would think that with the other options still available in the draft, what were the Fins thinking? me too, but i love it, cuz we got Quinn.

-can we say again how good the qb class was with Cutler, Leinart and Young? I mean, i know Leinart is struggling right now but i'm sure he'll be fine, same with Cutler. and Vince, as much as i can't stand him, he has a serious will to win games.

-and last but not least, my smart sports bet of the year. Every year, about a month before the NFL season starts i go on to Betus.com and make some bets. i like to take some risks, but in the big picture i don't really bet that much. my great move this year, i put $10 down to win $50 that Micheal Vick would rush for at least 3 tds in one game. ouch.
