NFL Week 1 Predictions.

I know many people on this site like to watch football (obviously). I also Realise many people cant aford the $400 some dollars to watch all the games. But If you have a chance here are some games you should really try to watch this weekend.

 WEEK 1

Cowboys @ Clevland- This Is only really 1 out of 2 games im excited to see the weekend. It features the Best Team in the NFC and a Team who cant afford to get out to a bad start. Watch For Pacman Jones who maybe will play a little nickel and return a few punts.

NFL all-unit team

In a recent Sports illustrated Article They A best Units team, or something along those lines.

 

Example:

QBs- Bears

RBs- Eagles

WRs, dolphins

O-line- Lions

You get the Idea.

 

Now, Of course those weren't really my picks Just examples but Here is My real Picks. Im not going to make the obvious picks for all of these, i will consider the depth at that position. And I wont Use any team more than once.

 

QBS, Ill Take the.....Patriots. It was between Brady and Manning. Manning At his best is better Than Brady But Brady is better under pressure and Is very accurate.

RBs, This was hard as well. It was between The Some of the leagues best 1-2 punches. Tomlinson-Sproles, Barber-jones, Jones drew- taylor, peterson-taylor, and more. But ill wait for AP to become a more consistant runner and i havnt seen Felix Jones play in the NFl. If this was last year it would of been easy Lt and turner. But This year ill go with The Jaguars.

WRs, Obvious Pick Might be the Patriots, but they've been used and lack alot of depth. This might be a homer pick but ill take the Packers. They  have alot of depth And the BEST at yards after the catch.

  • Driver- Great hands, super Quick and a great leader.
  • Jennings- good hands and can burn Cbs, Deep ball threat.
  • Jones- best hands, descent moves and Speed along with size.
  • Martin- Great threat in the end zone. very big and good hands.
  • Nelson- Great after catch, very good all-around Wr.

There you have it the Fab 5.

 

TEs, This could go a few ways but gonzo is old, Gates is hurt, so id go with the cowboys. But I wanna use them later so il choose so ill say the Browns and Kellen Winslow JR.

 

O-line, Ill say the Chargers here. Pats and Cowboys could have made it but The chargers are great anchored by mcNeil.

 

D-line, easy Choice, The vikings. 2 very good DT  in kevin and pat williams and Since they added the Best DE in the league (jared Allen) This is a no brainer.

 Linebackers, It was between The Bears and Ravens. i choose the Bears. They hae 2 Pro-bowl Linebackers (briggs and Urlacher) who are 2 of the best in the league.

Secondary, Cowboys, They have Great Talent and depth at CB with Newman, henry and Adam "pacman" jones. they have very good safetys as well. I know Williams is a hole in coverage but hes still very good player.

 

Theres my team So here is the Lineup-

QB- Tom Brady

RB- Maurice Jones-drew, fred Taylor

WR- Donald driver, Greg Jennings, james jones, ruvel martin, jordy nelson

TE- Kellen Winslow jr

RT- Jeromy Clary

RG- Mike Goff

C- Nick hardwick

LG-Kris Dielman

LT-Marcus Mcneill

 

LE- Ray Edwards

DT- Pat williams
