Over the past half-decade or so, the San Diego Chargers have been a very good football team and considered amongst the elite class in the NFL with a legitimate shot to contend for a Super Bowl title every single season. This year is no different with the Chargers getting off to an impressive 2-1 start with NFL MVP candidate quarterback Philip Rivers under center. Continue Reading…

During the NFL off-season and throughout the NFL lockout, the Cincinnati Bengals were in limbo about the future of the franchise at the quarterback. The Bengals did make a smart move by drafting rookie quarterback Andy Dalton out of TCU to address their immediate concerns and to possible bring in the future of the franchise under center, but the Carson Palmer situation was still unresolved with the veteran quarterback threatening to retire.

#1 Green Bay Packers (3-0)

Despite being tested in the first three weeks of the season against the potent offense of the New Orleans Saints in the season opener and then trying to contain the next superstar quarterback in Cam Newton in Week 2, the Green Bay Packers were thought to be a little flawed on defense, but just as good as they were when they lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy last season. Continue Reading…

The Buffalo Bills have been the surprise team of the NFL regular season this year as they have gotten off to a perfect 3-0 start and proven to their doubters that they are for real and finally ready to compete for a playoff spot in the AFC Conference. Not only are they ready to compete in the AFC, but they just might be able to get the best of the New England Patriots and the New York Jets in the AFC East division for the first time since the Jim Kelly era in Buffalo.

Coming into this NFL regular season, everyone was jumping on the Detroit Lions bandwagon as it was the consensus that Matthew Stafford and company were in for a breakout season and a possible run at the playoffs. Even though many people believed that the Lions were a force to be reckoned with this year, this young team had some tough challenges right out of the gate against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs and the division rival Minnesota Vikings in consecutive weeks. Continue Reading…

The AFC East division has been a two-team division for a very long time with the New England Patriots and the New York Jets pretty much being the only teams within the division that could compete for the AFC East title, but this season things are a changing in the division with the Buffalo Bills bursting onto the scene with three straight wins to start the season.

Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys Mon. Sept. 26, 2011 8:30 p.m. EST

Last week’s Monday Night Football matchup between the St. Louis Rams and the New York Giants was about a boring as it gets in terms of games that are nationally televised, but in Week 3 the Washington Redskins will go head-to-head against the arch rival Dallas Cowboys in what could be an extremely entertaining showdown that will have playoff implications at season’s end.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sun. Sept. 25, 2011 4:15 p.m. EST

Last week the Atlanta Falcons were able to redeem themselves for their devastating loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 1 (30-12) by pulling out an impressive win over the revamped Philadelphia Eagles, 35-31. Even though superstar quarterback Michael Vick was knocked out in the fourth quarter and the Eagles offense fell flat after the injury, the Falcons played very well against a very good defense and showed that they are still a legitimate Super Bowl title contender despite getting off to a rough start right out of the gate in Week 1.

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears Sun. Sept. 25, 2011 4:15 p.m. EST

The battle for the NFC North division title begins this Sunday as the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears. With the Bears getting the best of the Packers in the regular season last season, Chicago has shown that they are a legitimate contender for their second straight division title, but they did lose in convincing fashion to the arch rival Packers in the NFC Championship game which left the Bears bruised and battered.

New York Jets @ Oakland Raiders Sun. Sept. 25, 2011 4:05 p.m. EST

With running back Darren McFadden becoming one of the best players at his position in the NFL and Jason Campbell seemingly securing his job as the starting quarterback after being traded by the Washington Redskins, the Oakland Raiders have become a force to be reckoned with once again.
