Sports, Entertainment & Everything in Between

Ok everyone we had some tech issues and missed getting this out yesterday, but that is all good.  So here is the preview for the rest of the games over the weekend and Monday.

Denver at Jacksonville –  This is an interesting match-up.  Neither team will be that good this year.  Jacksonville has a revamped defense, but still has a lot of holes on offense.  If Denver can slow down Maurice Jones-Drew, it will be a long day.  Who will step in Brandon Marshall’s absence and can the run game with all their injured backs make a difference.  Winner-  Denver.

Oakland at Tennessee – Oakland is much improved this year by just getting a new quarterback.  Jason Campbell gives this team a legit quarterback which is what held Oakland back the last 3 seasons.  Chris Johnson will have to earn all his yards this game as the Oakland defense is pretty stout.  Look for a change in fortune for Oakland.  Winner- Oakland.

Detroit at Chicago –  Detroit is much improved, and will surprise many teams this year.  Look for Calvin Johnson to exploit a weak secondary.  Jay Cutler and the Bears offense have been less then good in the preseason now with Mike Martz at the controls.  Chicago fans are in for a Detroitesque year.  Winner – Detroit.

Cincinnati at New England –  Huge test for the very injured New England Pats secondary.  Tom Brady coming off just signing a huge extension.  This is the one of the best match-ups this weekend.  New England’s lack of run attack will be the difference in the game.  Winner –  Cincinnati.

Cleveland at Tampa Bay – Josh Freeman is still having issues gripping the ball after a thumb injury.  Cleveland is one of the more intriguing teams this year.  Not really sure what they are going to be, but i can tell you that it is all dependent on the arm of Jake Delhomme. Luckily they are taking the Buccaneers so the defense will have the final say in the outcome this week.  Winner – Cleveland.

Atlanta at Pittsburgh –  Atlanta looking for a break out season with all their weapons healthy travel to Pittsburgh who is minus their quarterback.  While the defense is still intact for Pittsburgh, the lack of a quarterback is going to be a huge issue.  Look for a low scoring game.  Winner – Atlanta.

Miami at Buffalo – Buffalo will be one of the worst teams in the league this year.  C.J. Spiller will be an amazing back to watch but may be the only bright spot on a team that has holes everywhere on the field, especially at the quarterback position.  Miami defensively will be way too much to handle.  Winner – Miami.

Carolina at New York Giants – Carolina was unable to punch it in the end zone at all in the preseason.  While they have not had all their weapons on offense, it won’t change much.  Matt Moore will have to deal with a huge pass rush.  The Panthers defense will keep it close, but in the end, the quarterback play will keep the Panthers from winning.  Winner – New York Giants.

Indianapolis at Houston – Tough game out the shot for the Colts.  The Colts have owned the Texans since they realigned the divisions.  If Houston is going to make the huge step forward and make the playoffs this is the game they need to win and not give away as they have in the past.  Peyton will keep the Colts in there, but it may not be enough.  Winner – Indianapolis.

Green Bay at Philadelphia – Green Bay is super bowl favorite, and they will show it.  The Kevin Kolb era begins in Philly and i’m sure he is wishing it was against a lesser opponent.  Aaron Rodgers will have a big game and the Packers will show why they are one of the top teams in the league.  Winner –  Green Bay.

Arizona at St. Louis –  Very interesting game here.  Both teams have not looked great, but I do like what St. Louis did with starting Sam Bradford and it couldn’t be better for him opening up with the Arizona defense.  Stephen Jackson will be the biggest difference in the game.  Winner – St. Louis.

San Francisco at Seattle – San Fran is a team on the rise, and with Arizona in shambles may be the year the reach up and steal this division.  Seattle has a lot of new faces with Pete Carroll’s regime in it’s first year.  Seattle just doesn’t have enough fire power to stay with the Niners. Winner – San Francisco.

Dallas at Washington – This is an interesting game all around.  Donovan McNabb moves over from the Eagles to guide the new look Redskins under new coach Mike Shanahan.  Dallas has pro bowlers all over the field and will be one of the best teams this year.  McNabb sat out most of the preseason with an injury which will be a factor.  Winner-  Dallas.

Baltimore at New York Jets – Well the talking is over now the Jets gotta prove it on the field.  The Ravens are one of the top teams in the AFC and will be looking to show the Jets that play determines champions.  Look for the Ravens to stack up the run and let Mark Sanchez try to beat them.  Winner- Baltimore.

San Diego at Kansas City – San Diego is looking to show that they are still one of the top teams in NFL.  Kansas City has not done a lot to upgrade the weapons for Matt Cassell.  The receivers dropped 50 passes last year and don’t look for that to change much.  Winner – San Diego.
