True Predictions: Saints, NFL Western Conferences, and Surprising Broncos

Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL

Just came out of my first losing week; I went 2-3 (12-9 for the season). The Denver Broncos take the New England Patriots in OT. I guess the Broncos are for real. Kyle Orton “out-Brady’d” Tom Brady! The Miami Dolphins re-found the Wildcat and more than met the challenge of the New York Jets’ quick strike style (even with newbie Jet Braylon Edwards making a big contribution). The Baltimore Ravens’ loss to a gutsy Cincinnati Bengals shows how the two teams are going in opposite directions. The Atlanta Falcons got back on track and the Arizona Cardinals survived a late spurt from the Houston Texans.

True Predictions: Falcons, 49ers, Broncos, Bengals, and Headaches

Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, News, NFL

I went 3-2 over the past weekend (10–6 for the season). The Baltimore Ravens, even with questionable calls favoring the New England Patriots, came close to potentially taking a big step to the “next level.” However, a dropped pass by Mark Clayton ended that opportunity. New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez looked like the rookie he is in the game against the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos took games that would not have surprised us if they went the other way. Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre continued to wow the masses with another impressive showing against his old team, the Green Bay Packers. If the Packers don’t improve that offensive line they’re not going to beat Brett and the Vikings when he makes his “homecoming” visit later in the season.

CLEVELAND BROWNS
2007 RECORD: 10-6

Overview: Shocking the world after their first week implosion against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns rolled off 10 wins in the next 15 weeks and barely missed a playoff slot thanks to a tiebreaker that favored the Tennessee Titans.  Already boasting one of the best offenses in the game, the Cleveland front office made several key moves to address the defense this past offseason.  Will it be enough to lift the Browns to the top of the division?
