NFL Picks & Betting Odds

NFL great Junior Seau's untimely death puts Swinging Johnson in a reflective mood. He handicaps the likelihood that troubled former marquee players like T.O. will meet a similarly premature ending. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers gear up for another season, but are they poised to make a run for the title this season? Lets check out the NFL odds and break down this team, as we decide if fans will be waving their "Terrible Towels" in February.

Dallas fans, how long has it been? The Cowboys have the talent and the money, yet they fail to make it deep in the post season. Who have the Dallas Cowboys added to the roster to help this team return to it's glory days?

The Cincinnati Bengals turned quite a few heads last season thanks to the dynamic rookie duo of AJ Green and Andy Dalton. What rookie talent have they added to the squad this year, and can Dalton lead this squad to the next level?

The New York Giants have now defeated one of the most talented teams in football twice on the biggest stage in the world. Can the Giants repeat last year's playoff run and cement Eli Manning's name into football history?

The Buffalo Bills were off to a hot start last season, but they quickly cooled off thanks to a seven game losing streak. How will the Bills approach this year's season, and can they make it into the post season?

The Philadelphia Eagles had high hopes for last year's season, but the fell short of everyone's expectations. Can Michael Vick remain healthy and lead this team to the Super Bowl this year, or will the fans in Philly go home disappointed again?

While Chargers fans are still upset with the fact that they must live another season with Norv Turner in drivers seat, the can at least smile about some of the recent additions to the squad. Have the Chargers filled all of the holes, and will this be their year?

Do any of us remember what it is like to watch a Colts game with out Peyton Manning running the show? The Colts have turned the page and now look to the young Mr. Luck to lead their team. Will Luck become the next Peyton, or will he always live in his shadow?

We all thought they had it in the bag last year. The Green Bay Packers appeared to be one of the most efficient teams in the NFL, but failed to bring home the trophy so many thought they deserved. How are the Packers preparing for the upcoming season?

Has any other team had more off season woes than the New Orleans Saints? While the management is busy dodging scandals, how is the team shaping up for the upcoming season? Is this season a throwaway for the once proud Saints?

With Peyton Manning out of the AFC South, the Houston Texans now find themselves as the top dog in the division. If healthy, are the Texans a team that can make their way to the Superbowl, and possible even win the first title in franchise history?

The Chicago Bears had a touch end to their season last year, as both their starting quarterback and running back were sidelined with injuries. How are the Bears preparing for the upcoming season, and who will fill in should the injury bug bite again?

With the New Orleans Saints in a hole, can Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons take advantage of the opportunity, and win the division? With what could be a free ticket to the playoffs, how is this team preparing to contend this season?

It was no secret that the Redskins were going to do what ever it took to draft RG3. With the future of the franchise now in the hands of a rookie quarterback, do the Redskins now become an instant threat, or is this team still bound for the cellar of the NFL?

Bill Belichick’s boys came up empty again against the New York Giants when it mattered most and must now address some of their concerns to keep them contending for a World Championship. Join my blog for all the latest news on The Pats.

While Alex Smith's name still doesn't hold the weight of Joe Montana's or Steve Young's, can he be the one to return this franchise to their glory days? After having been so close last season, will the 49'ers get another shot this year?

Forget the NFL Draft. The only player that everyone wanted is now in a Bronco's jersey. With Tebow just an afterthought, the fans in Denver are ready to see if Peyton Manning can put this team back on the map.

ESPN's Golden Child has relocated to the Big Apple, as Tebow-mania has taken over New York. What should we expect from the revamped Jets squad, and who do we think will be taking most of the snaps?
