week 5

Last week I picked 8 games right against the spread.  I correctly picked 11 teams to win and I was able to select the correct O/U in 8 games.  This was out of a total of the 13 games I picked.  I forgot to pick to colts game but I'm sure I would have gotten it right.  

Man, 11 out of 13 games... that's pretty good for a league that supposedly has amazing parody.  I'm a beast.  

This week the NFL has some pretty terrible games.  Picking against the spreads will be the real challenge... but it always is, that's why there are spreads.  

okie silly dokie yo, I'm an idiot!

NFL week 5

Cowboys (-8.5) @ CHIEFS under 42.5

I feel like the Cowboys have been declining season by season the past couple years and within this season they are declining week by week.  I think they will win this game because they have better talent.  I have a feeling it is going to be close though, Chiefs cover the 8.5.

REDSKINS @ Carolina (-3.5) under 37.5

This may be one of the most even games of the week.  Carolina probably is going to have the better rushing attack but Washington has been getting Santana Moss more involved in the past couple weeks.  I'm gonna take a road dog to win this game.  Carolina still winless.  

Buccs @ EAGLES (-15) Under 42.5

After the Browns almost beat the Bengals I'm just about ready to say that the Buccs are the worst team in the NFL.  The Buccs are the worst team in the NFL.  There, I DID say it.  I like the Eagles and Donovan to win this one in a snoozer.  

RAIDERS @ Giants (-15) over 39

It's tough for me to say the Giants will cover 15 points when their starting QB is going to have when trying to use his plant foot on his throws.  Whatever is wrong Eli's heel is not good.  I still think the Giants win but the RAIDERS cover.

Bengals @ RAVENS (-8.5) over 42

The Ravens have had an outstanding defense for years now but look out for their offense.  That also means look out for the Ravens.  I believe they have separated themselves from the rest of the AFC North this year and they continue that trend against the Bengals.  

Vikings (-10) @ RAMS under 41

I like the Vikings to win here but perhaps a little bit of a letdown on the road after a huge emotional win on Monday night.  Rams cover but lose.  

BROWNS @ Bills (-6) over 40.5

The Browns lost last week but they managed to look like they were at least playing in the right league.  Definitely a tough loss for the Browns but they can take some positives away from it.  Buffalo has gotten waxed their past two games and the Browns finally have a glimmer of hope last week.  I like the Browns to win this one on the road.  

STEELERS (-10.5) @ Lions under 44

Steelers blow out a team they should blow out with a rookie QB.

Falcons @ 49ERS (-2.5) over 40.5

This is probably my favorite game of the week, apart from the huge matchup in Buffalo.  It has one of the lowest spreads this week but I expect the 49ers to win this one by about ten.  I think Glen Coffee has a real nice game to propel the 9ers over the Falcons.  

Texans @ CARDINALS (-5.5) UNDER 50.5

I think the Texans are like the Cardinals little brother.  They have a pretty decent quarterback and they may have the best WR in the NFL.  Unfortunately for the Texans the Cards have 3 really good WR and an even better QB.  I like the Cards to win this one but this could end up being a very exciting game if you like offense (who doesn't).

PATRIOTS (-3) @ Broncos under 41

I think Tom Brady is beginning to hit his stride and I'm not convinced the broncos are for real.  They have a nice opportunity to change my mind this weekend, however, I think the Broncos lose by more than 3.

COLTS (-3.5) @ Titans under 45.5

I think the Titans are done and the colts are just too good to have a let down this week.  Besides, it makes it really hard to have a letdown when Peyton is your quarterback.  

Jets (-2) @ DOLPHINS over 36.5

I like the Dolphins to win this one at home on Monday night.  Sanchez got his first loss last week and I think this could rattle his game a bit and we might see a little regression in his play.  If the Dolphins can control the ball like they have been able to do a lot this season, I like them to win this game.  

WNBA

Before I start ripping on the WNBA I guess I should explain how I feel about the NBA.  I don't want people to think that I dislike the WNBA just because they're girls.

I don't like the NBA, at all.  I've felt for the past couple of years that the players in the NBA are too good.  Yes, and I mean that.  In this league of stars, it seems to me that someone could drive to the hole just about every time and get a pretty easy layup or dunk.  Then on sportscenter when I watch highlights of the NBA I see a bunch of "sweet dunks."  "Oh, did you see that dunk?"  Then I think, 'No, but I have seen a dunk exactly like that about 476,895 times.'  Outside of that, if someone has a wide open shot, it goes in.  I also don't like how being the home team is a big factor in who wins.  I guess they just don't try as hard on the road.  Basically, one of my favorite days of the year is when the Cavs season is over and I get my friends back and we can talk about and watch real sports like football, baseball and hockey.  If you don't know me that well, you're probably not reading this blog, but I'm serious about the NHL, I like it a lot.  

Basically, I've seriously wondered to myself if I would like the WNBA more than the NBA.  I mean, think about what I said, women, for the most part, can't dunk so the play happens further away from the bucket.  Women aren't as good so when there is a shot there's more mystery if it'll actually go in.  So I checked out game 1 of the WNBA finals on Tuesday night.  

I'm not too sure about how awesome this WNBA thing is.  In fact, it's not very awesome at all.  It's the kind of thing that should get cut out of a slow economy.  I mean, I don't understand how it makes money at all.  These players and owners and what-not must have very little salaries.  I could either watch TV or go out and exercise or read a book or write a blog or I could go to a WNBA game.  I don't know, maybe a WNBA game would be fun, I've never been to one.  Then I might think that all my other options are free, whereas a WNBA game probably costs 2 dollars.  Looks like I'm stayin' in!

I'm flipping through the channels Tuesday night and I come to the WNBA Finals.  There is a little under 2 minutes remaining and I think it was a 4 point game.  Phoenix, at home, leading Indiana.  'Ok, this might be an exciting finish,' I'm thinking.  I start watching and right away I can tell that none of these players have penises, pretty disappointing.  Also it didn't take long to realize how much cheaper this league is, you can tell by how terrible the refs are, you get what you pay for.  I think there were about 6 calls made by the officials and 4 of them were awful.

Indiana is down by 3 with the ball and about 15 seconds left; okay, here we go.  An Indiana player comes off a screen and makes a 3 to tie it up with about 7 seconds left.  Phoenix takes the ball down the court, drives to the hoop and misses a layup, a teammate gets the put-back and misses from point blank.  Why didn't she dunk... oh yeah.  Time expires and the game goes to overtime.  After time expired I thought to myself, 'that was a mildly entertaining minute and a half of basketball,' then I thought, 'I bet overtime is 5 minutes, I don't want to watch that much longer.  I wonder what else is on... oooh! A Home Improvement Rerun!' 

I can't think of another sporting championship going into overtime or extended play and me not wanting to watch it.  Maybe watching 1:48 of a game isn't enough to decide that I don't like the league but yeah, it probably is.  I can't believe I actually thought that I might like the WNBA more than the NBA.   

I guess no matter what, the higher the absolute level of talent, the more exciting the league will be.  It's science.

NFL Week 4 Predictions/nerd

There were 15 football contests last week.  I was able to pick 10 winners correctly, 9 against the spread and I selected to correct O/U 8 times.      

Roll out the barrel here are the week 4 predictions 

RAIDERS @ Texans (-9) Under 42

I like the Texans to win this one.  Russell has 378 yards passing and 1 TD in the first 3 weeks of the season.  Last time I checked it's 2009, not 1947.  Need more passing, also I'd go for some more cowbell.  

Titans (-3) @ JAGUARS over 41.5

MJD had a big week in week 3.  I like him to continue that against the Titans, even though they are supposed to have a good defense.  I think the Titans will pack it in for the season and just settle for going 0-4 on the road.  

RAVENS @ Patriots (-1.5) under 44.5

This is bar far the best 1:00 game this week.  If you've consistently read my blogs you'll know I'm not sold on Brady being back.  He did get in sync with Randy Moss last week but still needs work with Joey Galloway.  Right now I think the ravens have the better defense and the offenses are pretty even, so that means the Ravens should win, right?

GIANTS (-9) @ Chiefs under 42

Matt Cassell had 90 yards passing last week and LJ is pretty old (at least by NFL RB standards, he's still a young whippersnapper by grandma standards).  The Giants have looked pretty solid this year and Eli Manning is putting up big numbers.  I have no problem picking them to win this one by 10.

BUCCS @ Redskins (-7) under 37

This is probably the least intriguing game of the week.  These two teams SUCK.  Don't put down your half gallon for a second to watch this game.  Jason Campbell threw for 340 yards last week and the redskins scored a total of 14 points.  That doesn't really add up, to me at least.  Redskins win a close, boring one.  

BENGALS (-5.5) @ Browns under 38

Have you seen the Browns in the first three weeks?  Have you ever seen a professional team look this terrible at ever aspect of the game?  The answers are yes and no, respectively.  Do yourself a favor and put your life savings on the Bengals to cover this shit.  Braylon is projected to have 142 fantasy points.

LIONS @ Bears (-10) over 39

I really don't think the Lions have looked all that bad this year.  You could definitely argue that no team will progress as much throughout the season as the Lions since they have a rookie at QB.  I like this game to be close as sort of a let down to the Bears after two fourth quarter comeback wins.  I think the Bears will win it late at home.

Jets @ SAINTS (-7) over 45

This would be a very impressive win for Sanchez... but he's not gonna get it!  HEY YO!!  Eat that pretty boy.  Saints win by double digits.  

Bills (-2) @ DOLPHINS over 37  

The bills looked pretty shitttttttttay last week and I think the Dolphins running attack will help them over a team who doesn't really have a ton of offense going right now.  Hopefully the Dolphins won't have to use chad henne too much.

Rams @ 49ERS (-9.5) under 37.5

The Rams are terrible and the 9ers are pretty good.  They disappointed me a bit against the Vikings last Sunday but they basically won, besides the whole points thing.  They win big this week boooooooooooooys.  

COWBOYS (-3) @ Broncos over 42.5

Look at the Broncos next five games.  They'll probably be 3-5 after starting out 3-0.  So, according to simple addition that means they'll lose this week.  Hey, I don't make the rules.  

Chargers @ STEELERS (-6.5) over 42

W/O Troy P I don't think the Steelers are really that good.  They quickly become a team that isn't really great at anything.  I do think they'll win but if the Chargers can get a cheap score, look out.

Packers @ VIKINGS (-3.5) under 45.5

I like the Vikings secondary and their Adrian Peterson to get this win.  Also, I'm not sure about A Rod in big games and this is a biggie on Monday night.  

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT OK NOW LADIEZ

HERE ARE MY NERD PREDICTIONS 

Team-an v GrapeSmugglers

Wes has a quarterback advantage because Nate's QB's are playing each other in one of the weeks most boring games.  

Nate has a  WR advantage basically because Wes has a WR on a bye and really no one to replace him.  

I give Wes the RB edge because I'm not sure about Marion Barber or Marshawn Lynch coming back from injury and suspension.

I'll give gravedigger has a slight TE advantage because that TB v Washington game will be even more boring than the QB matchup.

Overall, I think Nate's gonna take it down this week and by take it down, I mean win.

Velvet Merey v Rons Team

I'll give A.Jay the QB edge simply because Ron has one on a buy this week.

I also like A.Jay WR because I feel like they will all be in shootouts this week.  They may produce a little extra this week.  

Ronaldino has adrian peterson, I think.

I like Jason Witten to beat Owen Daniels.  Good Job A.Jay!

I like Ron to win the W/R position because I've never heard of whoever the hell A.Jay has.

I think Ron will pull this one out.  Adrian needs to have a big game if the purples want to beat the greens on Monday night.

Walk the Dinosaur v Carson Chad Cedric

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

currently Greg's defense is projected to get 0 points because it is their buy week.  I checked to see who his backup defense is...  it's the Browns. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.  

You lose just because of that, Craig.

Peter North Stars v Ochenta y Cinco

I've made no bones about it, Dauber has my favorite team name in the league.  However, his QB situation this week is funnier than Craig's (Stukenbaaak) Defense situation.  I don't think you can overcome a goose egg at two positions so Andrew takes this down to China Town.  

Tico's Club v Who's Gonna be 2nd

I'm already gonna go against my own logic.  

I'm gonna give Travis a QB advantace because Trents are both on their buy week.  

Trent should have a huge week from his WR because they are 1) Andre Johnson and 2) involved in what should be shootout games.  

Trent has a RB advantage because one is playing the Browns.

TE is a wash and W/R is an advantage for Trent.

Trent is going to overcome not having a QB and win in a fantasy football miracle. 

'96 Bulls v NFL Guru

I give Mitch the QB advantage because he has sweet fantasy QBs

I also give Mitch the WR edge because Justin's WR aren't on very good teams.

Justin has a RB advantage because Mitch has a Browns RB.

I'm gonna give Justin the TE advantage because Mitch is gonna be on his second string TE

Justin has a real nice W/R position in Glen Coffee who may not split time with anyone.  

If Mitch can get more than the 13 points his RB are projected he may win but I like Justin to take this one to the hizzy.  

Madison Hedgecocks v Scrap Iron

I'm a total badass so I'm going to win easily boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys.

But seriously, Drew Brees probably isn't going to get me 30 points.  Santonio only had 1 catch last week and my RB aren't very good.  Jake will probably win this handily.  

NFL Week 3 Predictions/Nerd Predictions

In Week 2 I picked 11 winners, 10 correctly against the spread and identified 9 games against the O/U.  I actually forgot to pick the Saints game from last week but I'll just give myself credit for getting everything right.  

Okay then, here's who is going to win all the week 3 games.  All bets down, here we go.

TEAM COVERING THE SPREAD LOOKS LIKE THIS

TITANS @ Jets (-3) Over 37

The Titans' desperation carries them over the Jets, who still have a rookie QB.

Browns @ RAVENS (-13)  under 38.5

I don't know where to find information on past spreads but I bet the Browns haven't covered in 8 games, 13 points is tempting but I'd need about 17.

Giants (-7) @ BUCCS over 44

I think the Buccs desperation at 0-2 will keep the game close but the Giants will end up winning this one.

Jags @ TEXANS (-3.5) Under 46.5

Texans looked good last week.  I'm very confident they will cover this 3.5

49ERS @ Vikings (-7) over 40.5

We'll be hearing a lot about the 9ers after they beat the Vikings this week.  Actually, analysts will probably talk more about how Brett Favre is hurt (I think the 9ers are going to knock him out).

Falcons @ PATRIOTS (-4) over 44

The only reason I don't want to pick against the Patriots in consecutive weeks is because they are the Patriots.  I think this will be a very good game but the Pats will win it late.  

Redskins (-6.5) @ LIONS under 38.5 

Lions win for the first time since the mid '80's.  Browns will officially be the worst team in the NFL. 

PACKERS (-6.5) @ Rams under 41

Packers roll after losing to the Bungy's, besides St. Louis is terrible.  

BEARS (-2.5) @ Seahawks over 37

Assuming Hasselbeck is out, I like Cutler to continue to improve with the Bears.

SAINTS (-5.5) @ Bills over 51.5

I'm just going to keep taking the Saints to cover and the over until it stops working.

STEELERS (-4) @ Bengals over 37

This could be a huge statement win for the Bengals.  I do like the Steelers to win because I think they'll score a defensive TD, even without Troy P.  

BRONCOS even @ Raiders under 35.5

J. Russell made 1 good throw last week and it was enough to win the game for the Raiders.  He may need to do more than that against the broncos.  Broncos win.

DOLPHINS @ Chargers (-6) over 43

I'm close to picking the Dolphins after almost defeating the Colts but I think they'll fall just short again.  Chargers win.  

Colts @ CARDS (-2) over 47.5

Boy, the NFL sure can pick 'em.  For me, this is the most intriguing game of the week, a great AFC team against the NFC Super Bowl Representative from last season, it happens to be the Sunday night game.  It also pits two great QB's against each other, it should be a great game to watch.  I have the Cards winning this one by 3.  

Panthers @ COWBOYS (-9) under 46

I don't really care about this game.  I've seen the cowboys but not the Panthers.  I'm taking the cowboys to cover at home.

Here is who I think will win our fantasy football match ups this week.  I'd like to state that I'm assuming each team will be starting who they currently have in their starting lineups.  Also, I'm not going to analyze the kicker or Defense positions because I've already wasted enough time on this for the 3 people who will actually look at it.  

Team-an vs Diagnosis Ronalds team

I give Team-an an edge on QB... unless Hasselbeck plays, then it would go to Ronald (Jon Piening).  I also give the WR edge to Ronald because Cribbs is going to get mad Return "pointage" this week.  I also think Anquan Boldin will be involved in a shootout so he should produce a lot of points.  I also give Ron a slight RB edge.  Team-an will gain a lot at the W/R position because Fred Jackson doesn't split carries.  I think the TE position will be a wash.  

I think Team-an pulls out a close one if Hasselbeck can't go.

Velvet Merey vs. Walk the Dinosaur (what does that mean?)

A.Jay gets the QB edge because Brett Favre will be busy pulling out dingleberries to play football.  

Craig (Greg) has a WR advantage because Fitzy will be in that aforementioned shootout.  

Craig (stukenbaaak) has an edge at RB because I think the Titans will contain Thomas Jones better than the Jets Chris Johnson.

A.Jay has a TE advantage and Craig has a real nice W/R advantage.

Craig (stook) wins easily.  

Grape Smugglers vs. Scrap Iron

If you look at the projected points Grape Smugglers is supposed to get the least amount of points in the league this week while Jake is supposed to get the most points.  I'm not gonna waste my time breaking it down.

Jake wins.  

Peter North Stars vs. Who's Gonna Be 2nd

Dauber has the name edge because it's the most clever in the league.

Unfortunately Dauber has an injured QB so Travis has a sizable advantage there

I really like Daub's WR's, three pretty good picks there considering this league starts 42 WR's a week.  Interesting RB matchup because it's between four guys who don't split a lot of carries.  I think the RB numbers will be pretty even.  

I'm giving Al a slight TE lead because I think the Vikings will have to throw more because they are going to lose.  

Travis has a better W/R player in Felix Jones, who will get the all-important return yards points.  

Travis wins by 10

Tico's Club vs. NFL Guru

Tentatively giving Mitch the QB advantage.  If Tom Brady doesn't put up Tom Brady numbers (which he hasn't yet this year) This could easily go the other way.

I think the RB will be a wash.  I like Kevin Smith and Ray Rice to each get a lot more than they are projected this week.  

I like Trent to gain on the WR position.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Trent Score at least 70 points one week off Randy Moss and Andre Johnson alone.  How did you get both of those guys?

Mitch has Tony Gonzalez so he wins TE.

I like Percy Harvin this week because, like I said, the Vikings will be down and Brett Favre (before he gets injured this week) can dump off short passes to Percy and let him run for big yardage.  

I have Trent winning this one.

'96 Bulls vs Carson Chad Cedric

Danny has the QB advantage.  I think the Bengals will be in a shootout this weekend, so I like Carson to score more than 11.  

Justin will have the WR advantage this week partly because Steve Smith will need a big game if they want to beat the Cowboys.  I also don't know if Houshmandzadeh is playing this weekend.  I wonder where that little bar guy is...

I give Danny the RB advantage because I like Clinton Portis against the Lions this weekend.  

Danny also wins at TE because Drew Brees is throwing to his tight end.  

W/R position will be  a wash.

Dan is the Winner and he turns 21.  

Madison Hedgecocks vs. Ochenta Y Cinco

I give myself, Hammer, the QB advantage because Drew Brees is a hunk and Eli is also better than Jamarcus.  

I, Hamma lamma ding dong, will also take the WR advantage because of the shootout in Cincinnati.  Santonio was targeted 15 times in week 2, there were only a handful of other receivers who were targeted more.  

Andrew has the RB edge because Forte is due and Ronnie Brown should have another big week.

I have a TE advantage because it's Dallas Clark for crying out loud.  

Andrew will have a W/R edge because Jamarcus can't pass so Oak town needs big games from its running backs

I think I'll win

I hope you enjoy this.  I sure did love the 3 hours it took to write it.  

NFL Week 2 prediction

Here are my week 2 predictions, playas.

Team covering spread is in Caps

I'm gonna also try to predict the O/U.  (I can't really factor in weather this early in the week)

Texans @ TITANS (-6.5) Under 40.5

The Titans D looked pretty sweet in week 1 and the Texans looked kinda terrible, I actually thought they would have looked better but... Not a good week for the Texans running game, which was non-existent in week 1, to get off the "ground."  What a shitty pun.

Patriots (-5) @ JETS Under 47

I could end up looking really stupid here but I am, so that wouldn't be all bad.  Tom Brady didn't appear to be all the way back and he'll be on the road here, so the crowd won't be so friendly.  Sanchez only has 1 game experience but his ground game produced a lot in week one so I'm taking the jets to win this.

BENGALS @ Packers (-9) under 42.5

I didn't think the Bengals looked that bad in week 1 to warrant being  a 9 point dog.  The Pack didn't look that great either, to be honest.  Packers win, but not by 9.

Vikings (-9.5) @ LIONS under 47

I was mildly impressed w/ Stafford.  I think Brett Favre is on his way to having an embarrassing year, starting w/ week 2.  Vikings win bc of AP but they're not winning by 10.

Panthers @ FALCONS (-6) over 43

The Panthers disappointed in Week 1 and Matt Ryan looked pretty tough.  I like them at home.

RAMS @ Redskins (-10) Under 37

Rams were scoreless in in Week 1.  Redskins also lost to a Giants team who also didn't look that good.  Redskins win but not by 11.

CARDINALS @ Jags (-3) over 42.5

Warner didn't really get Boldin, Fitzy and Breaston as involved as expected in week 1.  I think they remedy this against the Jags on the road, and win

RAIDERS @ Chiefs (-3) over 39

Raiders played pretty well against the Chargers (or the chargers underperformed) and I think they defeat the Chiefs on the road.  Could the raiders be a surprise in the AFC west?  They'll probably have to beat the chargers when they meet in San Diego.

SEAHAWKS @ 49ers (-1.5) over 39.5

Interesting week 2 matchup in the NFC West.  The winner will be the only undefeated team left in the Division.  I think Hasselbeck avoids the picks in week 2 and Seahawks win on the road.

Buccs @ BILLS (-4.5) under 42

I really liked the play of the Bills secondary against the Pats.  I think they shut down the Buccs and the Bills get the W.

Browns @ BRONCOS (-3) under 37.5

Free money.  Take the Broncos.

STEELERS (-3) @ Bears over 37.5

I like the steelers big in this one.  I'd find an adjusted line of like -10 to bet on.  If I was a gambling man but I'm not.  

RAVENS @ Chargers (-3.5) over 40.5

The ravens are too good defensively to not beat a team who should have lost to the Raiders.  Ravens win on the road.

Giants @ COWBOYS (-3) over 44

Didn't think the giants looked like they were ready to go back to the Super Bowl.  Cowboys win this one.  Marion the Barbarian.

COLTS (-3) @ Dolphins under 42

I picked the dolphins in week 1 and they embarrassed me.  They didn't look good at all.  The colts still have peyton Manning, right?  Yeah, I like them.  

This is why we love the NFL.  If you're interested.

Out of the 16 games I was only able to pick 10 teams to win correctly.  Picking against the spread I also rightly selected 10 teams.  Hopefully, in a few more weeks I will have these numbers at 12.  

I'd like to briefly state something I've learned from week 1 about each team.

Titans- Kenny Britt may become a steal in FF leagues

Steelers- This is the year where Santonio will begin to out produce Ketchup Ward.

Dolphins- The Falcons are good but it looks like the Dolphins will be watching the playoffs on tv like the rest of us this year.

Falcons- Matt Ryan doesn't show signs of a sophomore slump.  

Chiefs- Didn't look as terrible as I was expecting but a fumble recovery in the endzone always helps.

Ravens- Joe Flacco also doesn't believe in the sophomore slump

Eagles- Looked very impressive in a game where the spread was 1 point.  Are we going to see Mike Vick now that Donovan is hurt?

Carolina- Last year's sweet rushing attack was absent in week 1 this year.  That tends to happen when you give up 28 points in the second and need to pass for the rest of the game.

Broncos- Offense is definitely lacking w/0 J Cut.  Brandon Stokley is my new favorite player

Cincinnati- I thought Chris Henry was going to be the biggest steal in FF.  He had 1 catch for 18 yards.  

Vikings-25 Million for Favre to throw dump off passes and hand the ball to the best player in the league.  Rosenfels can't do that for 5 Mil?  Favre seemed to age 5 years in the last calendar year to me.

Browns- By far the worst team during the final six weeks of last season... Didn't look much better in week 1.

Jets- Rookie quarterback is usually a throwaway season but Sanchez looked good.  190 Rushing yards help that.  So did the D.

Texans- I guess Steve Slaton is waiting for week 2 to bust out

Jags- Held the colts to 14 but lost.  MJD looked good in his first game as a feature back who doesn't split many carries.

Colts- Reggie Wayne is gonna be a busy, busy boy.  

Lions- Matt Stafford also didn't look too bad in his debut.  

Saints- I reached a bit to get Drew Brees in both my Fantasy Leagues.  I guess this makes me the man.

Cowboys- Offense looked real nice

Tampa Bay- looked to have a great rushing attack in week 1

Rams- Ew, I don't know if they did anything well

Seahawks- 2009 NFC West Champions.  Write that down.

49ers- good game for the 9ers but I don't think they'll have staying power in the West.

Cardinals-Tim Hightower led the team in Receiving yards.  What?  Why?

Redskins- Looked pretty bad.  Made the game close by scoring a late TD when down 13.

Giants- Eli looked OK and was able to hook up w/ two of his young WR.  (Steve Smith, USC and M. Manningham, MICH)

Bears- Didn't think the Bears would have a chance if J Cut played that poorly.  They could be pretty tough when he works the jitters out.

Green Bay- I just remember seeing #38 and #36 pick off about 24 passes

Bills- Looked real nice.  Who is this Fred Jackson guy and is Marshawn even gonna play when he is eligible.  Fred looked real nice

Pats- Tom Brady is not all the way back... at least he wasn't until there were like 4 minutes left.

Chargers- D looked decent.  I thought it looked like Darren Sproles lost a step or two.  

Raiders- Did not look too bad.  Run DMC and Michael Bush is a great start for any team
