Can Brett Favre finally beat Dallas?
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
2-9 all-time and 0-3 in the playoffs.
That’s what Brett Favre is trying to improve on when his Minnesota Vikings play hosts to the Dallas Cowboys in their big NFC divisional match-up at the 2010 NFL playoffs.
As of this writing, the Minnesota Vikings are three-point favorites to beat the Dallas Cowboys and advance to the NFC championship game. But if I was a betting man, I’d think twice before I bet on the Vikes because of the fact that Favre hasn’t beaten the Cowboys in the playoffs, and this Vikings team lost two of their last three games coming in.
Still, if there’s a guy who can lead the Vikings to a playoff win over the Cowboys, it’s Brett Favre. At 40 years old, nobody thought he’d still be playing at this level and this Sunday, the Vikings need him now more than ever or it’s an early summer for ‘em.
The Dallas Cowboys on the other hand are one of the hottest teams in the league after finally posting their first winning record in December for quite a while. They have won three games in a row, scoring 75 points overall while only giving up 14.
Of course, the main reason for their turnaround has been the steady play of quarterback Tony Romo and the elevated play of their defense. In last week’s 34-14 playoff win over the Eagles, Romo completed 23 of 35 attempts for 244 yards and two TDs. Romo didn’t give up any interceptions.
Adding to the success the Cowboys have been having recently is the play of second year running back Felix Jones. He had an outstanding game last week against the Eagles with 148 yards rushing on 16 carries. For the season, Jones has a 5.9 yards per carry average.
On the defensive side of the ball…
NFL Week 9 Sports Betting Tips
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
The race for postseason slots are starting to heat up.
Yep, we are now starting to see which of the teams this 2009 NFL football season will be making a run at the Super Bowl come February.
After eight weeks, we have the Indianapolis Colts tearing it up in the AFC and the New Orleans Saints having a dream season for the Big Easy. Will these two teams meet each other in Super Bowl XLIV?
But before you contemplate on that, we still have some huge games for you this week as the season continues with Week 9. Sure, Brett Favre and those Minnesota Vikings have the week off, 
but will that stop you from watching more of the NFL this Sunday? Probably not.
One game you should watch out for is this game between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots. Miami is coming off a huge win over the New York Jets last Sunday as they look to take Sanchez and the rest of his Jets out of that no.2 spot in the AFC East. A win over Tom Brady at Foxboro could give ‘em just that but of course, that’s easier said than done.
The New England Patriots are starting to look like the Patriots team that broke all kinds of records two years ago. They are currently lording over the AFC East coming to their divisional rivalry game with the Dolphins this Sunday.
I don’t like Miami’s chances this weekend. Tom Brady is throwing footballs like rockets again and I don’t see Miami’s wild cat offense getting the best of Bill Belichick either. Patriots by seven.
Next we have the Philadelphia Eagles completing their…
NFL Week 8 Betting Tips
Sunday, November 1st, 2009
For the second time this season, all eyes will be on Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers.
Yep, Brett Favre will be playing the Green Bay Packers this Sunday as Week 8 of the 2009 NFL football season continues. This time though, it’ll be a little different as he returns to Lambeau Field wearing enemy colors.
That’s right, Brett Favre will be back at historic Lambeau Field when he leads his Minnesota Vikings against the Green Bay Packers. This will be his first trip back at Lambeau since the Packers ended the Brett Favre saga in Green Bay when they sent him packing to New York city a year ago.
His return should be an interesting one since we all know how much fans at Lambeau loved Brett Favre when the guy was still playing for the Green Bay Packers. Will they still cheer for Favre who’ll be wearing the colors of their bitter rivals from Minnesota?
They should. After all, Brett Favre did spent 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, tearing it up at Lambeau Field when he still was building on what is now a Hall of Fame career. Packer fans OWE IT TO THEMSELVES to cheer for this guy, even though he’s now playing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Oh yeah, we’re picking the Vikings too because judging by the way Favre blew the Packers away in Minnesota, we expect Favre to have another huge game and give Lambeau Field one last historic performance. Vikes by three.
We also have a couple more huge games this week, including this huge battle in the NFC between the struggling Seattle Seahawks and the surging Dallas Cowboys.
DeMarcus Ware, who has recently signed a six-year contract extension that includes $40 million in guaranteed money, will have a chance to prove his worth against a sputtering Seahawks offense that only managed to put up three points the last time they were on the field.
Ware, 27, has four sacks in 2009, all in the last two games for the Dallas Cowboys. He led the league with 20 sacks last year. He was only the sixth NFL player to reach the 20-sack plateau since sacks became an official stat in 1982. He has 57.5 career sacks and has been a Pro Bowler three times. He also shares the NFL record with Simon Fletcher for consecutive games with a sack (10), and he holds three of the top-five sack seasons in franchise history.
Yep, we don’t like Seattle’s chances. ‘Boys by…
2009 NFL Football Week 6 Betting Tips
Friday, October 16th, 2009
The NFL is about to spin your betting tendencies like crazy this weekend.
Why? Well, in case you didn’t know, the sixth week of the NFL calendar means the trading deadline is coming and since we are heading to Week 6 of the 2009 NFL football season, expect some struggling teams to make a move or two, each hoping that the moves they make this week will be the difference between winning and losing.
One team in the middle of all these trade rumors? The Buffalo Bills. After five weeks into the season, the Terrell Owens experiment hasn’t been paying off. The Cowboys’ leading receiver last season hasn’t done shit for the Bills this year. After five games, he only has 12 receptions, 202 yards, and one measly touchdown.
As a result, the Buffalo Bills have not fared well this season. They are currently dead last in the AFC East with a disappointing 1-4 record. Good thing the division is still a wide open free for all with Tom Brady and the Patriots still looking for their groove. Unfortunately for them, they have the division leaders this Sunday, the New York Jets.
After the New York Jets lost last Monday night’s divisional game with the Miami Dolphins, those guys probably can’t wait to pound somebody to a pulp all week. The Jets lost on Monday Night Football when the Dolphins beat ‘em using their trademark Wildcat offense on a direct snap to running back Ronnie Brown, giving the Dolphins the go-ahead touchdown with six seconds left en route to the 31-27 win.
And knowing Jets head coach Rex Ryan who makes a living on defense, you can bet your ass that he didn’t like the way Miami’s Wildcat kept on working against them. ”I used to see all those gimmicks when I was coaching back in college,” Ryan said after the game. ”I’ve been a part of some bad performances before on defense, just not this bad.”
Expect the New York Jets to bounce back and…
The Dallas Cowboys already struggling
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Uh oh, the ‘Boys are in trouble already.
Ah yes, the Dallas Cowboys are once again in a heap of trouble just like last year, the year before that and the year before that year. Hell, they’ve been in trouble since the end of 1996 for crying out loud. The sad part is, they’re already in trouble this early when the 2009 NFL football season hasn’t even started yet. Yikes.
In case you didn’t know, the Dallas Cowboys lost Roy Williams to a left shoulder injury just a few days ago, putting him out for the rest of the preseason.
You see, Roy Williams was suppose to be the guy who’ll replace T.O. as Tony Romo’s new target. With this setback, the Cowboys don’t even know if Roy can make it back in time for the start of the regular season and jump start this Romo – Williams tandem the Cowboys are trying to establish.
Yeah sure, we’ll probably see Tony Romo throw footballs to Jason Witten’s direction anyway since the Cowboys frontline can’t protect Romo long enough to let their quarterback find holes ten yards away from the line of scrimmage. But with Williams out, that’s one less option for Romo to throw the football to. And since there’s a scarcity of good receivers in Dallas these days, that’s not something you want to have with only a few more days left before the regular season begins.
To make matters worse for the Cowboys is the fact that Williams’ injury is just one of the problems they have to resolve before the season starts. You see, their new no.1 receiver is having problems with a teammate lately, Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick to be specific. And in case you’re wondering, Scandrick was the moron who injured Williams’ left shoulder in a goal line collision.
You see, Scandrick has to work harder than usual in…
