Will Chad Ochocinco Lambeau Leap?
It’s Week 2. Can this week surpass last week’s exciting finishes?
It’s been a helluva’ start to the 2009 NFL football season. I mean, we saw Tony Romo move on without T.O. like an animal, throwing touchdowns effortlessly against that confused Tampa Bay defense. Then we saw Drew Brees do Romo three touchdowns better by coming up with six. And who can forget about the ”Immaculate Deflection” Brandon Stokley took advantage of to score the game-winning touchdown in Denver’s 12-7 win over the Bengals?
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we saw Tom Brady score two touchdowns in less than two minutes to lead the New England Patriots over the Buffalo Bills, 25-24 on Monday Night Football. Incredible.
Can Week 2 do better? Let’s sure hope so because Chad Ochocinco for one, has already hyped us up for this weekend’s games when he told everybody that he’s going to Lambeau Leap at Lambeau Field. Apparently, he already forgot about their disappointing loss to the Broncos last Sunday. (Hee hee…)
Unfortunately for Chad Ochocinco and the Cincinnati Bengals, they’re facing a Green Bay Packers defense that came up with four interceptions the last time they were on a football field. Ochocinco won’t be getting any Lambeau Leaps if his team can’t move the chains against that D.
My pick? The Green Bay Packers by two touchdowns. And no, Ocho won’t get any love from Lambeau either.
Next game we have this renewed AFC rivalry between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. Sure, Eric Mangini may have moved on to Cleveland but that doesn’t mean that this feud between the Pats and the Jets is over. Thanks to new Jets head coach Rex Ryan flapping his gums about not coming to the Jets this year to kiss the Super Bowl rings Bill Belichick and the Patriots won, this rivalry is hot again.
Of course, Tom Brady responded to Ryan’s comments by simply saying ”talk is cheap.” He said that the Patriots are also confident and that he don’t expect the Jets to roll over for them.
Yep, heads are going to roll and I’m picking the New England Patriots by a touchdown.
Sunday Night Football should be interesting as two NFC East rivals will renew their rivalry as the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants with both teams looking to follow up on their successful start to the season.
Tony Romo is off to a great start in his first season without Terrell Owens. He came up with three touchdowns, finding Patrick Crayton twice and Roy Williams in another to give the Dallas Cowboys a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on opening week.
The New York Giants on the other hand, relied on their defense to force the Washington Redskins to commit mistakes last Sunday and after Osi Umenyiora recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown in his first game back after missing last season with an injury, the Giants already had that game won even before it had the chance to get to halftime.
Sunday Night Football should be a close one and I’m picking the Dallas Cowboys by a field goal.
