True Predictions: Bengals, Steelers, Packers vs.Vikings, and Denver’s First Loss
Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL
Predictably, I go 3-2 this past weekend (not blowing it out of the water, but ahead of the game). I am now 18-13 for the season. I got it right that the Pittsburgh Steelers would take Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. The Cincinnati Bengals won big over the Chicago Bears, and the New Orleans Saints had to come from behind to beat the Miami Dolphins. What’s up with the New York Giants who have now lost two in a row? The Atlanta Falcons had another chance to “legitimize” themselves as an NFL threat, but they could not muster enough to beat the Dallas Cowboys.

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.

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.

Green Bay Packers Demolish Detroit Lions 48-25

Better get the wagons in a circle. Looks like its gonna be a long year in Lion Land.
Aaron Rodgers riddled the Detroit secondary for 328 yards on 24 of 38 passing and three TDs as the Packers walloped the Lions 48-25. In a game that resembled a scrimmage more than a gridiron contest, Green Bay jumped out to an early 21-0 lead before the Lions knew what hit them. James Jones took a 9 yard lob from Rodgers capping a 15 play 86 yard drive and a 7-0 lead. Donald Driver then padded the lead to 14-0 when he took a 2 yard Rodgers chippie, polishing off a 5 play 82.
Jordy Nelson did the finishing honors when he scorched the Lions secondary with a 29 yard bullet capping a 4 play 63 yard march. Lions booter Jason Hanson put the home team on the board with a 38 yarder to close out first half scoring 21-3 Packers. Third stanza scoring was nothing special. Hanson added impressive three pointers of 49 and 53 yards, cutting the Packer lead to 21-9. Pack kicker Mason Crosby answered with a 25 yard chip shot boosting the margin to 24-9.

Dean Browski Picks for Monday Night Football
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL
I personally believe that NFC East battles are the best in the NFL and anyone out there will be hard pressed to convince me otherwise. The Cowboy cheerleaders are still hot and these two teams tonight still hate each other. I made the preseason prediction that the Eagles were going to win the NFC East and they did nothing last week to make me want to turn back from that prediction.

Preparing for NFL Week 2 - Dean Browski
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL
I picked 9 of 16 winners in NFL Week 1. Not a great weekend, but also not a bad start. My Early Week Games proved reliable with the exception of the Jaguars and the Texans. The Carolina Panthers were my highlight of the weekend, and again this week they make the Early Week Board.
I expected the Panthers to be a 7-point favorite at home against the Chicago Bears. The Opening Line is Panthers -3. I put a lot more value in the Panthers win over the Chargers than I do the Bears win over the Colts . . . I say that with all due respect to the Bears. To further raise my curiosity, the fine users of ESPN.com have the Bears as 1-point favorites?!?! Huh? I will be taking the Panthers -3, a great value. The Washington Redskins went from -1 to +1 at home against the New Orleans Saints. This game intrigues me, and I think I like the Redskins at first blush. This line is worth keeping an eye on. The Houston Texans are 4.5-point favorites at home against the Baltimore Ravens, and there is a chance the line may come down. I like the Texans at -4.5, if any more points come off that line there is value with the Texans.
Those are just some thoughts from early in the week. All of Dean Browski’s NFL Week 2 Picks will be posted on Friday.
