- Just like Michael Myers in the movie Halloween returned to a small mid-western town and terrorized it on Halloween night, I see Brett Favre slashing through the Green Bay defense this weekend. With Adrian Peterson and the other offensive weapons having a big weekend, I see Minnesota winning 27-24. Experience matters. Favre has played too many big games in the stadium to be intimidated by the atmosphere and environment.
- Has anyone noticed that Kyle Orton has a 26-12 record as a starter. With two weeks to prepare, look for Denver to remain unbeaten on the road in Baltimore.
- The Georgia Bulldogs can beat the Florida Gators. They won't however. Too much defense but the Dogs keep it respectable. Florida wins 21-10.
- It is amazing to me that Matt Barkley has beaten Ohio State, California, and Notre Dame on the road as a freshman. Look for him to add the Oregon Ducks to that list.
- The New Orleans Saints will blow out the Atlanta Falcons in a raucous atmosphere on Monday night. I'm not convinced that the '76 Steelers could win in that stadium on that night. Drew Brees continues his battle with Peyton Manning for MVP.
- I love watching the Philadelphia Eagles. They have so many athletes and big play options. I'm just convinced they have waited to unleach Michael Vick against a team like the New York Giants. However, with no running game and not enough protection for Donovan McNabb, look for the Giants to win 31-27 on the road.
It should be a great weekend and I didn't even mention the World Series or the NBA's opening weekend.
