The New York Jets and Brett Favre had a great day in the Meadowlands with the visiting Cardinals in town.  Favre tosses a career high six touchdown passes and just absolutely man handles the non existent secondary.  At the end of the day what was being talked about most was the cheap shot that strong safety Eric Smith of the Jets used on Anquan Boldin that just layed him out.  The result of that play had Boldin leaving the field and stadium in an ambulance.  In my opinon Smith speared Boldin and the league has to act quickly with a fine and or suspension.

They even played some football in Ohio, not that we or most of Ohio cared about it much.  You had a very lifeless game between two teams that should just be strongly be considered for removal from the NFL.  It’s a win win situation for all involved.  You disband the teams and shuffle their players off to other teams and we can finally have the divisions and teams to a way that it makes sense.  Oh and did I mention that the Browns beat the Bengals by a 20-12 score in the game that most could care less about. … [visit site to read more]

ATLANTA (2-1) AT CAROLINA (2-1)

The winner of this game combined with a Tampa Bay loss, takes over first place in the NFC South.  I like Carolina’s offense with Steve Smith back in the mix and love the way Jonathan Stewart is running the ball so far this yr.  Can Ryan and Turner move the ball vs the Panthers defense will be the key for the Falcons.  I’ll take defense over offense in this contest.  CAROLINA 26-20

CLEVELAND (0-3) AT CINCINNATI (0-3)

Looks like a boring game between win less teams, but WATCH OUT this has potential for fireworks.  Let’s not forget last year when Palmer and Anderson combined for 11 touchdowns.  Neither teams defense will stop the other so it’s another shoot out in the making.  In the end the combo of air and ground games will prevail.  That’s why I like the Browns, and pick them to win their first game.  CLEVELAND 34-24

HOUSTON (0-2) AT JACKSONVILLE (1-2)

To many questions about Matt Schaub surrounding the Texans and their offense.  Steve Slaton won’t run against the Jags defense this week.  David Garrard will expose the Texans weaknesses and enjoy hitting Jones-Drew and Taylor with the nice five yard over the middle pass and watch them run wild after the catch.  The Jaguars rack up win number two and roll easily this week.  JACKSONVILLE 28-14

DENVER (3-0) AT KANSAS CITY (0-3)

Look out here’s a Super Bowl winner starting at QB.  It’s not Jay Cutler folks it’s Damon Huard for the Chiefs.  And it doesn’t mean anything, this game will be all Denver from the opening.  The Broncos with their arsenal of weapons will enjoy this rout.  Good news for Chiefs fans your a week closer to securing that first draft pick next year.  DENVER 41-17 … [visit site to read more]
