Week 1 Stuff

As you all surely know, week 1 of the NFL officially starts tonight!!! I will be watching that game along with following my fantasy squad.

Let's start off with my prediction for this week. Bolded + ALL CAPS= winner

Saints @ PACKERS

Steelers @ RAVENS

BENGALS @ Browns

Colts @ TEXANS

TITANS @ Jaguars

FALCONS @ Bears

Bills @ CHIEFS

EAGLES @ Rams

Lions @ BUCCANEERS

Seahawks @ 49ER'S

GIANTS @ Redskins

Raiders @ BRONCOS

Vikings @ Chargers

Panthers @ CARDINALS

Cowboys @ JETS

PATRIOTS @ Dolphins

My game of the week for week 1 is the Steelers @ the Ravens.

This is always a great game! A physical, defensive and offensive, all around fun game to watch.

It is not on tv in Lexington, KY, but now Insight gives free Redzone TV, so now I can watch a lot of teams play instead.

Peyton Manning is out week 1 and that could last longer than expected now, even the entire season possibly! That is a serious blow to fantasy owners.

The two teams that I believe will be GREAT this year and make the playoffs is the Buccaneers and the Lions. Their teams are as good as ever from the past couple of years and I believe that they will be sleepers this year in the NFL. And they play week 1- Bucs win, in a close, offensive battle!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everybody! I am writing here to talk about the National Football League. I will discuss my opinions, have polls to vote in, and more!

First of all, a little about myself. My name is Jack. I LOVE football, college and pro. However, they evoke two different feelings. With college football, I feel like there is spirit in the air and I picture Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, KY or Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, VA. Kentucky and Virginia are my favorite collegiate schools. On the other hand, with NFL football, I picture more of a fall and winter setting with the NFL music playing while I am on my couch watching the CBS and FOX NFL game. For me, the Bengals game is always on, because that is the local channel. I wish that I had NFL Sunday Ticket, that'd be pretty cool! I just love the feeling that each evokes. I have attended two Bengals games, both from 2009. One versus the Ravens (WIN) and another versus the Chiefs (WIN). The Bengals are 2-0 when I am at Paul Brown Stadium, but that was one of the few good years that they have had recently.

Here are some things to check out in my weekly blogs:
