Reviewing the NFL’s top 3 teams, bottom 3 teams and one team to watch
Top teams
- Titans. They’re the only unbeaten team in the NFL and they’ve only allowed 56 points through five games. Kinda hard to argue with that.
- Giants. Consider the game against the Browns a hiccup. They are 4-0 and have outscored opponents 127-49 when they’re not playing the Browns
- Steelers. Picked them (4-1) over the Bills (4-1) and Buccaneers (4-2) because they’ve only allowed opponents to score 79 points against them this season, second best in the league.
Bottom teams
- Lions. No. 1 overall pick, here we come. (0-5)
- Bengals. They have a worse record (0-6) than the Lions because they’ve played one more game. But they’ve also allowed less points to opponents despite that.
- Rams. Owners of the most pathetic offense in the league — 62 points in five games. That’s a little more than 12 points per game for 1-4 St. Louis.
Team to watch
- Chiefs. For the upcoming weeks at least, Kansas City (1-4) will be battling the Rams for a spot on this list and for the title of Most Pathetic Offense. Their 65 points is one unbotched field goal more than the Rams have scored.

I just reviewed my hits and misses from last week over at www.chinstrapninjas.com.
If you have not yet checked out the site, please do. Here is an excerpt from my review:
I tried to stay away from the absolute sure things, that’s why I didn’t pick any Giants against the Browns… I finished 3-3, .500 as expected, but I had one miss that was monumentally awful.
I picked the Patriots’ Ben Watson as a big hitter, he responded with 0 yards on exactly 0 catches. Not even a 1-for-12 that would have netted PPRers 2.2 points. It should be marked down as three misses in one, but fortunately for my record, that’s not how it works.

A co-worker asked and I started talking about the season-opener, and knowing I’m a Giants fan, he said “it’s only Giants-Redskins.” Eventually, I started rattling o
ff some questions/expectations/storylines that I thought made it a great season-opener for the 2008 NFL season.
You really don’t need any reason to watch the NFL season-opener, with it being the season-opener, but here are a few things I will watch for.

Thanks to the huge number of schools, players, and coaches, there is always drama in college football. Forget your favorite cable television station — that is probably repeating the same movie for the 473rd time this month — tune in to the NCAA gridiron for these gems:

Here we are at the start of another football season. Days of heat exhaustion and dehydration in late-summer sun will soon be replaced by more wintry weather as we cheer our teams on to the postseason.
I’m personally a huge fan of the NFL, much more than the NCAA, but that doesn’t mean I won’t watch college ball. In fact, I love college football. Here are 9 reasons why you should love it to:

Today is the final day of one of the most awesome vacations on record. So much done, but so little done. Among the things I wanted to do was beat a videogame. I have about 800 or so that are on a will-finish pile, dating back to the PS2, GameCube and Xbox.
I played a couple games of NCAA Football 09, a little Geometry Wars 2 and when a friend stopped over we played a little Halo 3, Gears of War and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 multiplayer, but for the most part I did not really sit down for a gaming session. It’s a little disappointing, but the days were too jampacked with other things. Golf, tennis, many drinks, more golf, a few more drinks and a couple fantasy football drafts.
