NFC Game Previews For Week 1
In my somewhat incredible coverage of the JV conference (the NFC) I thought it would be a good idea to preview the three games I will be later reviewing each week. This will be a good time.
A game that’s actually good: Atlanta vs. Carolina. – Keyshawn Johnson makes his debut for the Panthers while Michael Vick struggles to get over 150 passing yards. Do NOT start him this week unless you are either desperate or stupid. I should expect Carolina to win this game pretty easily. Atlanta is overrated.
A game that’s not so good: Seattle vs. Detroit – I think the NFL will be playing bad jokes on Seattle all season for blatantly criticizing the officials after Super Bowl XL. Look where their first game is. Ford Field. Where was last year’s Super Bowl? Ford Field. Considering there are FOUR prime-time games this week, they couldn’t fit the defending NFC Champs in one of them? Seattle will blow out the Lions. Detroit has Jon Kitna starting. Cover your eyes, now.
A game that’s so bad it’s good: San Francisco vs. Arizona – This was arguably one of the Hangover’s favorite games from last season for the sheer fact that it was A) played in Mexico, B) had almost nothing but field goals and C) was played in a stadium that primarily hosts soccer matches. Expect a lot of the same here. Arizona should win because it looks like they actually went and assembled an offense during the off-season.
