It’s here (and it’s about time)! The pro football season officially got moving over the weekend with a full slate of preseason action. Even though the games don’t count in the standings, there is plenty happening on the field and on the sidelines that have relevance for the regular season – and for next week.
The best time of the sports year kicks off this week as we begin the NFL season. From preseason play and recent history we can get a good idea about some of the strengths and weaknesses of several teams.
If you like to play totals keep in mind that the Minnesota Vikings were 3-1 under the total in preseason. Sure, all the talk has been on Brett Favre and what he potentially can give them — a star QB they have not had since Fran Tarkenton retired. But remember, Favre joins a run-first offense, one with a great offensive line and a pair of terrific RBs in Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor.
The Tennessee Titans are now the top ranked team in the NFL – and they attained that lofty status by taking the week off.
Welcome to the National Floccinaucinihilipilification League.
Floccinau-what? With 29 letters and 12 syllables, “floccinaucinihilipilification” is the longest non-technical word in the English dictionary and it is defined as “the act of describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by depreciation.”
What characterized the Detroit Lions of 2007? A team that started 6-2 and had postseason visions, only to collapse and miss the playoffs. It was a team in a total tailspin the second half of the season. They couldn’t win (1-7) or cover games (1-7 ATS). Teams can feel helpless when the wheels fall off or they suffer a crushing defeat. It takes a good coaching staff to get a team to focus and prepare itself mentally the following week.
The AFC is an absolute mess. Let’s take a trip down memory lane for a moment, shall we?
Without a doubt the NFC is the better conference this NFL Season. NFL betting fans had better start looking to the NFC for favorites that could cover online sportsbook betting spreads or underdogs that could beat BetUS online sportsbook betting spreads.
