Can't Miss Predictions

Minnesota Vikings - Brett Favre Plays Like a 40-Year Old Quarterback

In all the media hype surrounding the return of Brett Favre jersey , rarely was it mentioned that there's a chance that Favre may not be the best option for the Vikings.

Favre is 40 years old and is coming off a severe ankle injury, yet everyone expects him to be a difference maker for the Vikings this season.

His 2009 performance was encouraging, but to expect him to repeat that production this season would be more of a dream than reality.

I wish Brett no ill-will, but I am very cautious with my expectations for the Hall of Famer in the 2010 season. It would be a storybook ending for Favre to finish the season lifting the Lombardi trophy, but for a quarterback to stay relevant for 20 NFL seasons would be something of mythical proportions.

New England Patriots - Randy Moss Leads NFL in Receiving Touchdowns

Everyone knows that both Tom Brady and cheap Randy Moss jerseyare in contract years. Although both are in their mid-thirties, they've shown nothing to expect that both can't have career years in 2010.

If preseason is any indication, Randy Moss appears to be as fast and talented as ever going into the 2010 season.

In Saturday's game vs. St. Louis, Moss reeled in a 65 yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady, easily beating to defenders down the center of the field, making an over the shoulder catch in double coverage.

2010 is a contract year, but what's more, it will be both Moss and Brady's last significant contract year.

New Orleans Saints - Repeat as NFC Champions

As I see it, the New Orleans Saints are head and shoulders above any other team in the NFC.

They lost very few players from last years championship team and, if anything, have improved since 2009.

They have a pass rush and secondary combine for a great one-two punch, allowing them to consistantly win the turnover battle.

New York Giants - Lead NFC East in Offensive Production

The Giants rely on balance on both sides of the ball. Their balance makes them dangerous as it is very hard to make them one dimensional.

The combination of Mario Manningham, Hakeem Nicks and newcomers Ramses Barden and Victor Cruz gives the Giants threats in the short and deep passing games.

An experienced offensive line and a rehabilitated rushing game should all attribute to Eli Manning posting career numbers in 2010.

The Giants face a tough schedual, so making the playoffs may be an uphill battle. That said,
San Diego Chargers - Lose Vincent Jackson, Nobody Notices

Why the lack of desperation to re-sign Vincent Jackson? Probably because the Chargers don't really need him.

Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee, Jeremey Williams, Buster Davis and Seyi Ajirotutu have all received glowing reports from the coaching staff this offseason.

The common thread between all five receivers, quarterback Phillip Rivers.

With Rivers under center, tall, atheletic wide receivers have become a staple of the San Diego Chargers offense.

With Ryan Mathews and Antonio Gates also in the mix, the Chargers are far from desperate for offensive weapons.

If Jackson won't stay for less money, I can only assume the cheap Chargers jersey will show him the door.

talent + opportunity = fantasy stardom ?

Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys. The most talented receiver in this year's draft could miss the entire preseason due to an ankle injury, but Dallas hopes he'll be on the field by Opening Day. Like most rookie wideouts, Bryant will need time to adjust to the NFL; but few think Roy Williams will keep him out of the starting lineup for long. If he can develop a rapport with Tony Romo quickly, Bryant could be a force by midseason.

Jahvid Best, RB, wholesale Lions jerseys. Best is another explosive back who strolls into a starting job. He is fully expected to be Detroit's workhorse this season, but a history of concussions from his senior year in college could haunt him. The Lions' infrequent visits to the red zone might prove to be an even greater worry for Best's fantasy owners.

 C.J. Spiller, RB, Bills. What a difference a day makes. With both Fred Jackson (hand) and Marshawn Lynch (ankle) expected to miss 3-4 weeks with injuries suffered Saturday, the ninth overall draft pick vaults near the top of the hot rookie list. Despite getting little air cover from Buffalo's passing attack, Bills rushers have managed to be decent fantasy performers. Spiller, whom many see as a Reggie Bush clone, could seize the starting job and never look back.

Ryan Mathews, RB, wholesale Chargers jerseys. Rarely has the 12th overall draft pick wound up in such an ideal situation. Mathews immediately steps into the shoes of future Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson, in a high-octane offense perfectly suited to his strengths. An every-down back with good hands and the size needed for goal-line work, don't be surprised to see Mathews flirting with the Top 5 fantasy ranks by season's end.

Don't be surprised, though, if the pendulum swings back, as several NFL clubs are banking on significant contributions from first-year players. Here are the members of the Class of 2010 that I project to make a noteworthy impact during their inaugural seasons, in order of importance.

The Class of 2009, in contrast, was rather disappointing. Just one player at each position cracked the year-end Top 25 rankings -- Mark Sanchez (24), Knowshon Moreno (17), Percy Harvin (25) and Brandon Pettigrew (25). As a result, rookies played little, if any, role in the vast majority of last season's fantasy championships.

(It's interesting to note that of the above, only Johnson and Jackson followed up with stellar sophomore campaigns. Keep that in mind when casting your lot with this year's second-year stars.)

Many of us fondly recall the 2008 rookie class, whose members were instrumental in our fantasy title runs. Matt Forte, Steve Slaton and cheap Chris Johnson jerseys highlighted a bumper crop of first-year tailbacks, while Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson vaulted up the wide receiver rankings. John Carlson and Dustin Keller made waves at tight end, and even Matt RyanJoe Flacco proved to be valuable relief pitchers. and

Does the newcomer have a clear path to substantial playing time? Will he join a high-powered offense, or one whose punter is its most lethal weapon? Is he healthy heading into the season, or has he missed invaluable preseason reps due to nagging injuries?

When evaluating the fantasy potential of any rookie class, talent is but one salient factor. Equally important is the opportunity afforded each individual, which is also a multi-faceted equation.

Fwd: The 2010 Philadelphia Eagles Really Out of the Playoff Grasp?

All of the so called Hot NFL hats experts seem to think that the will fall short of the playoffs this season. After a decade of mostly winning seasons, it's hard to imagine the Eagles not being contenders, But I understand why.

It seems as if the Philadelphia Eagles rebui —I mean, went under a huge cosmetic surgical procedure this off-season (Mustn't say rebuild ). They are almost a completely different team from last year, with one big (perhaps fat ) exception.

Andy Reid!

Some think that getting rid of hot McNabb jerseys and Westbrook in the same year is a mistake. I can assure you that even if the McNabb trade was premeditated, cutting Westbrook was unplanned. I mean, who plans for career ending injuries? With the Eagles, it was much more then two players. But everyone will tell you, a team losing their two biggest play makers would devastate any NFL team.

What if supply Peyton Manning jerseys and Joseph Addai left the same year? Would the wholesale Colts jerseys be favorites to hit the playoffs? How about the Ravens jerseys without Flacco and Rice? Here's a good one, Viks without Favre and Peterson? What makes the question any different about the Eagles?

Andy Reid's system?

This is a great opportunity to see if the Andy Reid version of the "West Coast System" (The Andy Reid Philosophy) is the correct way to run this team.

I know what you are thinking, If the Kolb experience is not a great one, we can run Andy out of town and blame him for all the missed championshipsm, right? I don't think so.

When Andy took over after a horrible 3-13 season in 1998, He made a "huge impact" by restructuring the team. Andy brought a super-star cast of coaches including the late (Great) Jim Johnson, Brad Childress, John Harbaugh, and even Steve Spagnuolo. He drafted McNabb (who became the starter that year) and began to implement his scheme. After that season, the Eagles only went a miraculous 5-11. The "new team" only managed two more wins then the previous year. There were signs of hope, but the fans were devastated. This was the beginning of the Andy Reid/Donovan McNabb era. Sound Familiar?

Now that I have shown you doubt, let me show you some hope.

That was Donovan's first year as an cheap NFL hats quarterback. He was not used to the speed of the game, thus why he only played half the season. The offense had a huge hole on the right side of the line only to be filled a year later by Jon Runyan who Andy brought over from the Oilers. McNabb jerseyswas a run first player in Andy's pass first offense. The 1999 Eagles were a pure plug-and-play with a lack of talented players. One season later, when the system was not only established but accepted, the team went 11-5 and won a playoff game.

As of now, Kevin Kolb already has three seasons under his belt to get the bugs out. He, as well as all the playmakers, are already familiar with running Andy's system. With Kolb's accuracy and quick release, he is perfect for a west coast offense. He has a plethora of skill at his disposal in hot Troy_Polamalu jerseys, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek, LeSean McCoy, and Dallas_Clark jerseys. (whew, that was a mouthful)

The offensive line took a hit. It is not perfect, but a sturdy line full of experience.   The offence will most likely look more like a quick strike, pass and YAC, quick play team. Not like the big strike big play team from the past few years.

As far as the defense?

Wow, where to begin? Last year, Michael_Vick jerseys, the Eagles starting middle linebacker, went out with a knee injury before the start of the season. This was the start of an injury-plagued year for the Eagles defense. By the middle of the season the Eagles were asking fans to fill in as linebacker. (kidding...)

All joking aside, things were looking bad.

Quinton Mikell could play one heck of a strong-safety but could not fill the shoes of Dawkins at free-safety. Without that intimidation over the top, the occasional Asante Samuel gamble became a serious vulnerability. The durable hammer, Sheldon Brown played hurt most of the season and looked slow. Needless to say, there were holes the size of "Dallas, Texas" in the defense by the end of the year.

People tend to realize that the Eagles have more question marks on the Defensive side of the ball. Will Brian_Westbrook jerseys play back to his form? (Due to the Injury of Marlin Jackson) Will the Rookie, Nate Allen succeed in replacing Brian Dawkins? Is Ellis Hobbs a viable replacement for Sheldon Brown? Will Sean McDermott have a better instinct of opposing offensive plays in his second year as defensive coordinator?  

In all of this light, I am sure that the Eagles offense will play hard, play fast, and play as tough as they can to win.

The defense is a squad that is full of youth and speed. Will they gel as a unit, or will they play immature and cause stupid mistakes?

Only time will tell.

But the biggest question of them all is:

 

Are you ready for some Eagles football?

Excepting the NFL hats,wo also have NBA hats,MLB hats, Monster energy hats,DC shoes hats,New era jordan hats,New era winter hats,Rockstar hats,F1 hats,POLO hats,A&F hats,New era mlb hats.
