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.

NFL Preview: Cincinnati Bengals

CINCINNATI BENGALS
2007 RECORD: 7-9

Overview: Talk about a fall from grace.  With one of the best turnover ratios in the league only a year prior, the Cincinnati Bengals could not stop anyone on the defensive side of the ball in 2007.  This situation led to several losses, players pointing fingers, and a disappointing season all around.  This year hopes to be different for the men in stripes (no pun intended), as they still have one of the best quarterbacks in the league that is throwing the ball to two premier receivers.  The defense is still a bit on the questionable side, but a progressing group of cornerbacks coupled with some veteran leadership should allow for modest improvement.
