Time to go out on a limb with a few random predictions and notes on what I think we’ll see during the 2010 NFL season.
I think the Miami Dolphins are going to be good. Like sneaky good. Not in the sense that they will sneak up on people by just being competitive; most people expect them to be decent. I mean sneaky in just how good they are. This could be a very dangerous team.
The Chicago ...

With three preseason games in the books, so far so good with the Bills. After the first crushing preseason loss to the Redskins, Bills fans were saying “oh great, groundhogs day…again!?” But after the last two weeks, the Bills look like a much improved team.
The Bengals defense started the game focusing on shutting down the Bills running attack, in which they did a good job of it, by holding ...

Impatient fans, tired of the seven year drought of anything resembling greatness want a fourth Lombardi Trophy in Oakland next February. Many pundits are giving Oakland a solid shot at winning the AFC West, and even one columnist explores the possibility of Oakland being the best if they moved to the NFC West.
However, when looking at it pragmatically, the team still has a long way to go before ...

The San Diego Charger has reasons to feel confident when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in the opening of the 2010 National Football League season on September 13. This developed after the Chargers successfully signed to a one-year $3,269,000 deal, outside linebacker Shawne Merriman in the next NFL season.
The signing of Merriman is a great move on the part of the Chargers since he a feared ...

There’s been a lot of talk about the NFL strongly considering adding 2 games to the regular season and getting rid of 2 pre-season games. Most people seem to agree about ditching the extra exhibitions, but many are still split on jumping to 18 games vs. staying at 16.
Let me echo the obvious solution that’s also been thrown around outside official league circles: a 17-game regular season.
The ...

As we gear up for the start of the 2010 NFL regular season, there’s still time to get in some good “futures bets” on who will win each division.
I’m not going to pick each division, just offer a few best bets that are good value picks:
Washington Redskins (+550 to win the NFC East)
OK, so the Dallas Cowboys are more likely to win this division, and most people would say that the NY Giants and ...

Darren McFadden entered the league in a similar fashion to Adrian Peterson. Many claimed he was a sure fire home run pick, guaranteed to rack up yards faster than Lane Kiffin collects hate mail. McFadden had, after all, finished his collegiate career in the ever tough SEC with 4,590 yards and 41 touchdowns on the ground. That’s an average of 1147 yards and ten scores per season. McFadden ended ...

When the NFL first rose above baseball as the most popular sport in America, it did so on the backs of men touted as great role models, men America’s youth could embrace as guys they wanted to be when they grew up. United Way commercials showing pro players helping kids and families were as prominent back in the day as cell phone commercials are now. Then, somewhere in the 1980s, it was suddenly ...

What is a Pre-season victory worth?
In the realm of things a victory in pre-season means nothing-squat-zip-zero and goes into the “Who gives a crap file”. But for the Bills and their fans it gives them a ray of hope for the future that the Bills can put together 4 quarters of good football. We are trying desperately to cling to something or anything positive. As Amir stated victories bring ...
