True Predictions: Steelers, Vikings, Bengals and the Los Angeles Jaguars
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL
My record runs to 15–11 after going 3–2 last weekend. Why I ever back a Norv Turner team is a mystery to me. The Denver Broncos are out of the barn! Can they be placed back in? Their defense smothered the San Diego Chargers on Monday night. Their toughest upcoming games will be home games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants, plus a road game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Arizona Cardinals showed some grit and beat the Seattle Seahawks up in the Northwest. The New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, and Minnesota Vikings came away with predicted victories.

True Predictions: Jets, Patriots, Tony Romo, NFL in L.A.
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL
Last week I went 3–2 with my predictions: The New York Jets have arrived early for both me and the New England Patriots. The Manning Brothers, Eli and Peyton, proved true to the pedigree with both leading great fourth quarter drives (I didn’t pick the New York Giants, but did pick the Indianapolis Colts) for the win.The Chicago Bears beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on a fourth quarter victory drive; I figured they’d want/need this one more. Yes, I predicted that the Baltimore Ravens would beat the San Diego Chargers. Gotta love Norv Turner’s decision-making. USC head coach Pete Carroll would love San Diego, wouldn’t he? And he’s seen the old Teflon take some hits at USC, right?

The new season has begun and it’s time to look at how things will shape up in Week Two. Remember, it’s a long season, so get comfy and let’s take a look at the big news coming out of the NFL.
Carolina Panthers’ QB Jake Delhomme’s confidence is shot and his ace receiver, Steve Smith, doesn’t believe in him either. Bill Cowher, meet your new team.
Super Bowl 2009 participants, the Arizona Cardinals, lose Game One to the San Francisco 49ers. Ouch, what’s the percentage of teams losing the first game of the season and winning the Super Bowl? Not good. What’s the percentage of losing Super Bowl teams tanking the next season? Sometimes history is a cruel thing.
Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts Nip Minnesota Vikings 18-15
Posted by Charles Mitri Categories: NFL
In what will go down as one of the greatest second half comebacks of the 2008 season, future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning rallied the Colts to a last minute, 18-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Indy trailed by as much as 15-0 late in the third quarter, before Manning and Co, kicked the offense into overdrive, chalking up two touchdowns and one field goal in a little under 18 minutes.
Kicker Ryan Longwell accounted for all the Vikes points, posting field goals of 45 and 27 yards in the first quarter, a 53 yarder to close out the half, and boots of 46 and 28 yards in the third stanza. All eyes were on soph running sensation Adrian Peterson who rushed for 160 yards on 29 carries. The Vikes front four shut down the Colts running game, ceding a meager 25 yards for the entire game. QB Tarvaris Jackson logged solid stats of 130 yards on 14 of 24 passing.

NFL Preview: Philadelphia Eagles
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
2007 RECORD: 8-8
Overview: The past few seasons the Philadelphia Eagles have had some really tough losses and had to deal with some really tough issues. From the Terrell Owens fiasco, to Andy Reid’s off-the-field problems, to Donovan McNabb’s season-ending injury from two years ago, this team has been through a lot and survived. Despite not making the playoffs last year, the Eagles can point to one or two plays that would’ve put them in the playoffs. Look for the gods to smile on the Eagles in 2008, or at the very least, stop kicking them in the teeth.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
2007 RECORD: 11-5
Overview: The Jaguars of 2007 turned heads at the beginning of the season by getting rid of Byron Leftwich and making David Garrard the starter at QB. They turned heads again at the end of the season by winning a road-playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and giving the New England Patriots all they could handle. If any team is ready to take the next step, it is the Jaguars. Of course they have the Indianapolis Colts to deal with, but they have proven they can play with them… it is finally time to beat them.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
2007 RECORD: 13-3
Overview: Expect the Indianapolis Colts to continue to be the Indianapolis Colts. Which is to be a team that dominates the regular season and once in the playoffs . . . who knows?!? The roster for 2008 is almost identical to the 2007 roster which is good news for Indy fans. Peyton Manning hasn’t played in the preseason, but it isn’t going to matter. Marvin Harrison may be healthy or may not be, he may be going to jail or he may not be. It really doesn’t matter. The Colts offense dominated last year without him and while they would like to have a healthy Harrison, they will be fine without him.
