True Predictions: the Belichick Decision, the Turner Factor, and the Colts Going 10-0
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL
Many thanks to Bill Belichick whose much-discussed fourth quarter decision against the Indianapolis Colts put the clincher on another 3-2 weekend for me. My season record now runs to 27-19. Belichick has earned the right to make the call he did, but he obviously liked his offense’s chances of getting two yards a lot better than thinking that Indy could be held back. The Cincinnati Bengals pulled the minor upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maurice Jones-Drew went all-universe in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ win over the New York Jets. The Arizona Cardinals and San Diego Chargers took expected victories.

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: Chicago Bears

CHICAGO BEARS
2007 RECORD: 7-9
Overview: No one will confuse this Chicago Bears team with the Monsters of the Midway or the ‘85 championship squad that ran roughshod over the rest of the NFL en route to a 46-10 Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots. This team is still in the process of plugging numerous offensive and defensive holes. The ‘07 Bears ranked in the bottom quarter of all but one category - ranked 27th in total offense, a respectable ranking of 15th in passing, a deplorable showing of 30th in rushing, 28th in total defense, 27th in pass defense and 24th against the run. Help is on the way. Newly named signal caller Kyle Orton looked impressive in a preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Still being ranked in the bottom quarter of offensive and defensive categories means lots of room for improvement. The mere fact that they came within one win of .500 ball despite all these shortcomings is a kind of minor miracle.
