* The Minnesota Vikings are good, but not that good. Anyone who believes that they are going to A) Win their division, B) Win the NFC, or C) Win the Super Bowl is using an illegal substance. The Vikes are apparently the trendy pick to win this year, but I just don't see it. I think they are talented, well coached, and good defensively but they have a huge question mark at quarterback. I love the people who say, "Tavaris Jackson will be fine, don't worry about him." Well, let's consider that A) young quarterbacks struggle in the NFL, B) mobile quarterbacks don't win consistently in the NFL, and C) average receivers can only take you so far. In the NFC North I still favor the Packers and Bears, with the Packers a slight favorite.
* The New York Jets are not making the playoffs. Stop this nonsense.
* The Buffalo Bills are better, but probably won't make the playoffs.
* I still like the AFC South to have three playoff teams, Colts, Jaguars, and Titans.
* Just say no to 19-0. No team is winning all of their games this season, not even my favorite team.
* The two best teams in the NFL are New England and Indianapolis.
* The Jaguars are good and could contend, but they have to deal with the Colts. David Garrard is a good quarterback, Peyton Manning is great. Let's not forget, the Patriots own the Jaguars.
* The Giants will probably (and hopefully) miss the playoffs.
* LT will get hurt, Adrian Peterson will get hurt, and so will Donovan McNabb. Sad, but true.
* Week Five, your new Chicago Bears starting quarterback is........Rex Grossman. Mark it down now.
* Don't sleep on the Seahawks and Redskins.
* Don't believe the Cardinals hype, they can score, but they can't defend.
* Your 2008-09 rushing leader is: Joseph Addai (IND), because why not.
* Your 2008-09 MVP is: (still) Tom Brady. Did you watch pre-season? Totally different team without him.
* Jerod Mayo, 51, New England Patriots, remember that name. He is awesome.
* Anyone who thinks that Peyton Manning will be any less effective is an idiot. He's Peyton Manning, he does 100 commercials at the same time, speaks all of JR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings languages, and knows all the defenses from league's 32 teams. Granted, he'll still choke come playoff time.
* Don't bet on the Atlanta Falcons at all this season. I have no idea what they are capable of, good or bad.
* Carolina Panthers. Have you ever seen a blue panther in Carolina? Nope.
* Miami Dolphins. Not so good this year. It might have been a good idea to keep your best defensive player, draft a real quarterback, and not rely heavily on a burnt out stoner at running back. I mean I am no Bill Parcells or anything, but who is making the decisions down there. Oh yeah, that's right........
* Reggie Bush, better year this year. Book it.
* Steven Jackson, fantasy killer. One week he is 50 points, the next week he's out. Don't trust him.
* The Patriots are still the best team out there.
