NFC East Showdown


Giants and Eagles square off in Philadelphia. The game will probably go down to the wire like most NFC East games do. The Giants have lose their last 2 games and are eager to get a victory
in this upcoming week against the Eagles. While the Eagles are coming off a divisional win against the Redskins. The Giants would have to stop the Eagles on 3rd down, with the Giants 2nd against 3rd down conversions they should not have any problems. If Eli Manning plays well then the Giants well. The Eagles must contain Eli and force him to make mistakes to get a win.

Big Game Ravens(3-3) vs Broncos(6-0)



Ravens and Broncos square off this Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens defense have not been showing up the last 3 weeks and are slowly becoming irrelevant in the AFC. On the other hand the broncos defense has only given 10 points in the 2nd half of 6 games. With the Broncos playing top notch football on both sides of the ball its going to be tough for the struggling Ravens to come out on top. The Ravens have to get back to basics if they want to win this game otherwise the Broncos will run over them just like they have the past 6 weeks.

Vikings vs Ravens

Brett Favre still got it even at the age of 40. After the first half the Ravens were down by a couple touchdowns and came all the way back to take the lead late in the 4th quarter 31-30.. But good ole Brett Favre lead the Vikings into field goal range. After the Vikings mad the field goal they took the lead 33-31. Joe Flacco, Ravens QB, tried to give the Ravens one last chance to win but the Raven missed the last second field goal. The Vikings held on for the win.



BRONCOS ARE STILL UNDEFEATED

The Broncos are the real deal. On Monday Night Football they proved once again that they are for real. They defeated the Chargers 34-23. They frustrated the Chargers all game long giving them different schemes on defense and beating them with an efficient passing game. Kyle Orton has really evolved as a consistent QB and has turned into possibly the best WR when it comes to yards after the catch. Also 2 special teams touchdowns by Eddie Royal (kick, punt return) helped the Broncos seal the victory. The Broncos look unstoppable.

Redskins vs. Panther





This is a crucial game for both teams. QB Jason Campbell has been very inconsistent and is on the hot seat this season. On the other hand QB Jake Delhomme hasn't been consistent at all which reflects the Panther win less record. He is leading the NFL with 7 interceptions. If this continues then the losing streak will continue. The QBs will have to set the tone for their respective teams. I will take the Redskins as a 10 point favorite.

New England vs. Denver Broncos



I believe the Patriots will give the Broncos their first loss of the season. With the patriot offense slowly getting their rhythm back I don't think the Broncos will be able to contain Tom Brady. Also i don't think the broncos an offensive to counter act the Patriots high scoring ability. I'll take the Patriots in a 14 point favorite.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BRONCOS ARE 4-0

During week 4 Broncos defeated the Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos came into this game with something to prove and they played like it. Their defense was shutting down the Cowboys. The Broncos sacked QB Romo 5 times, forced 2 turnovers and only giving up 10 points, which completely through the Cowboys offense out of sync. Broncos aren't a push over team this year. Starting off 4-0 is the teams best start in a while.

Rookie WR Crabtree ends holdout, signs six-year deal


The San Francisco have signed wide receiver Michael Crabtree to a six-year contract worth 32 million after several months of difficult negotiations. Honestly I don't know what took so long... I mean he had some horrible advisers. How are you gonna demand 7th pick money when you were only picked #10 in the draft. You clearly have not proved yourself at the NFL level so you can't demand extra money. Now he has missed 4 weeks of action and now he has to play catch up and is at a huge disadvantage. But as long as he's disruptive it shouldn't affect the 49ers,

Patriots handle business in Foxboro against Ravens


The Patriots handed the Ravens their first loss of the season. Tom Brady is slowly coming back. His stats were not great (21 of 32, 258 yards, one touchdown, one fumble lost), but he did a good job passing the ball all over the field to 9 different receivers. He also made a critical 14-yard touchdown pass to Randy Moss in the 3rd Quarter that made the difference in the final score. The Patriots offense slowly getting back into sync, but the Ravens defense are not what they use to be and it showed against the Patriots today.

Skins even up 2-2


The Redskins bounce back after losing to the Lions. After starting the game off poorly the Skins come back and score 16 points in the 2nd half and that's all they needed. I finally saw some touchdowns by the Skins surprisingly. Despite Jason Campbell throwing 3 interceptions he also threw 2 touchdowns (Cooley, Moss). The Redskins defense played well forcing 2 turnovers (Interception, Fumble). Also the defense only gave up 106 passing yards and 129 rushing yards.
This was a much needed win for the Redskins; it seemed like they were falling apart but they came together and got the W.
