Don’t count on Andre Smith or Michael Crabtree to have any impact on this season whatsoever. These two have missed ALL of training camp and are way behind the eight ball on being prepared to play in NFL. If you were counting on improvement from the offenses of either the 49ers or Bengals, don’t. Expect Carson Palmer to be on his back and the average 49 qb’s to struggle, just like last year.

Rookie Holdouts
Thursday, August 27th, 2009Jerry Jones
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009I’m sure you’ve all heard about the colossal snafu that’s taking place at the new Dallas Stadium. Sure the screen is impressive, but really? Did no one think to question if it was high enough. Im actually blaming the NFL on this one. They went over the specs for that stadium with a fine tooth comb. Its actually built within the rules that the NFL has laid down. If you want to play the blame game, look at the NFL first, Jerry Jones second.
Walter Jones to have Surgery
Friday, August 21st, 2009One of the keys to the Seatle Seahawks season will undergo knee surgery.Walter Jones, the pro bowl left tackle, will be out an unspecified amount of time with his second knee surgery in eight months. This is a HUGE loss, as he was one of the best players in the NFL over the last decade. With Matt Hasselback finally starting the season healthy again, this was to be a season of resurgence for the Seahawk team. Now that is looking doubtful. Casual fans and bettors sometimes overlook the importance of the left tackle position to the effectivness of an offense. Don’t make this mistake. Be wary about taking Seattle or the over until you see how truly impacted the Seahawks are by Jone’s absence.
Plaxico
Thursday, August 20th, 2009It looks like Plaxico is going to prison. He agreed today to a 2 year sentence. Of course, he Giants had already moved on and will go into the season with a young and unproven wide receiver core. Look for the Giants to rely on Brandon Jacobs and their imposing defense. Keep an eye on taking the under early in the season.
Favre’s Impact
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009He’s coming back!
Its seemed we all knew this was going to happen. As soon as it was rumored that Favre and Minnesota were interested in each other, it was only a matter of time. We will let others debate how this affects Favre’s legacy. What concerns us primarily is the gambling affect this will have. Lets remember that Favre hasn’t had any off season work. He hasn’t spent any time working with his new receivers. He’s coming into camp three weeks late and after having shoulder surgery. Don’t let the excitement coming out of Minnesota cloud your betting vision. Favre is a gamer. But there is no way he will be ready by opening day. Look to go against Minnesota the first couple of weeks.
Hard Being a Raider Fan
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009It must be hard being a Raider Fan these days. News of possible assault charges for head coach Tom Cable have added to the growing debacle that is the current Raider team. From absurd draft picks, to the revolving door at head coach, to former players mocking the organization on television, to coaches fighting in meetings the Raiders have become the laughingstock of the league. Will this be the final straw? Will the other owners finally do something to force Al Davis out? Although a sizable number of the old-school owners, long-time sufferers of Al Davis’s thumbing his nose at the league, are enjoying his legacy-tarnishing recent fall, the newer owners just want this mess to go away. Behind the scenes, we hear these new young turks have had about enough of Mr. Davis’s lawsuits, salary-cap busting contracts, and general embarrasments.
