I was back in form going 12-4 last week and 38-26 for the season. This week could be a back breaker though. Several trick games on tap this week. First up the Saints travel to Carolina to face rookie QB Cam Newton and the Panthers. Newton has broken the rookie record of most passing yards by a rookie in the first 4 games of a NFL season averaging right at 346 yards passing per game. Not to mention the rush yards he has along with the touchdowns. If the Saints wish to make a statement that they are back to 2009 form, this game would be the one they want to win for sure. It is a Division game first and foremost which makes it a little more important than the rest. I could be reading them wrong but I believe that this is another special Saints team. They must win the ones they are supposed to win. This game would fall under that classification. Saints win in a close one. Philly at Buffalo. The Eagles are reeling and appear to be spiraling out of control. The Bills are for real. Buffalo wins. Bengals at the Jaguars...Jack Del Rio is on his last leg. Look for Jacksonville to pull the plug on the Del Rio era by mid season should the Jaguars fail to turn it around. Bengals upset Jags. Cincy goes home with another win. Giants at home against the Seahawks. Giants look to have a little momentum going. Giants win. Titans at Pittsburgh. I know what you're thinking...The Steelers haven't been themselves. Look for that to get corrected at home on Sunday. Steelers win. Raiders at the Texans. If the the home teams were reversed I might pick it differently. Texans squeak out one at home. Colts at home against the Chiefs. Last week the Colts fought hard against a very good Tampa Bay team on the road. The only game the Colts were really out of was game one against the Texans. The defense is coming around in spite of the injuries. Look for the Colts to turn it around at home. Colts win first one. Vikings at home against the Cardinals. Vikings also get first win. Tampa Bay at San Francisco. I am a believer! The Bucs are for real. Tampa Bay puts the 49ers away in the second half. Bucs win. Broncos entertain the Chargers at Mile High. If John Fox goes an entire season without finding a way to get Tim Tebow on the field, he should be fired. With that kind of talent, you don't want Tebow warming the bench. You already know how I feel about the Chargers. Sooner or later they will implode. Broncos win at home. Jets at New England. Tom Brady is just too much for Jets "D" and the Jets "O" Line will not have an answer for the Patriots interior defensive rush. Pats win. Green Bay at Atlanta for a re-match of last years' playoff game. Same teams; Same venue; Same result. Packers win. Finally, the Hank Williams Jr "Less" Monday Night Football will feature the Bears at Detroit. The Lions are without a doubt on a roll with an incredible come from behind victory last week. The Lions are for real. Lions win.
A quick note about Hank Williams, Jr. If you haven't read the story, you can google it. I am not going to repeat the entire thing here. My question to all of you is this: When did free speech all of a sudden become the judgement of others? Sometimes free speech is offensive no doubt. Sometimes it goes against what we believe or would say ourselves. No matter what though, FREE SPEECH is at the very core of the foundation of this country. You should go back and study your history. In the early years of this country, things were said about and to fellow Americans that at that time were considered far worse insults, however, in those days we realized the importance of our fellow Americans right to say it. Now, in the 21st Century, apparently if what you say isn't Politically Correct, then you are chastized by the Media as being offensive and in some instances you risk losing your livelyhood. I don't always agree with what others say, but I do respect their right to say it. Just a thought......Have a Great Football Weekend!!!
