Week 7, 2010: Cincinnati Bengals @ Atlanta Falcons
Oct 22nd
Week 7… nearly half way through the season already! This week I’ll be taking a look at the Cincinnati Bengals at the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are having the better start to the season without doubt. They’re currently sitting on a 4-2 season with a 2-0 home record. The Bengals are currently 2-3 with a 1-2 away record. Judging by these stats alone you would say that the Falcons are looking high favourites for this contest.

Week 2, 2010: Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnatti Bengals
Sep 17th
Well, with week one of the 2010 NFL Season out of the way we can start to see how teams will be clicking and begin to make a better prediction of how their seasons will be turning out. Granted, it generally takes 2 or 3 games to get into the stride of things competitively so we can’t, for example, say the Colts will have a disaster of a year based on one loss. These next few weeks could be ‘make or break’ for a few teams, even if anything can happen in Football.
I’m looking forward to seeing how things pan out anyway, I’m sure you are too! Anyway, let’s take a look at one of the games coming up in week two. Since Andrew took his team last week I figured I’d take mine this week! The Baltimore Ravens go up against the Cincinatti Bengals on Sunday evening.

Fantasy Football Hints and Tips #1 – Good Value Picks
Aug 5th
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Yes, Fantasy Football is almost upon us. In the first of a short series, I’m taking a look at good value picks. Later on I’ll look at people to avoid and for those in deep drafts, those who could be a good sleeper pick.
Well, obvious choices aside (AKA the Yahoo! Rankings Top 25) I see the following as good value picks you should be able to get after the first 2 rounds:

Anquan Boldin – The guy just loves getting yards and touchdowns. He moved to the Baltimore Ravens this year where no doubt he will be the main guy. After so many years in Arizona basically playing second fiddle to Larry Fitzgerald we finally get to see what he can do as a No. 1. Boldin and QB Joe Flacco have been practising together all off-season to get their chemistry right so expect big things from Anquan, and you can get this player as a 3rd round or 4th round pick.
Santana Moss – Santana has been the Redskins number 1 guy for going on four years. His numbers have always been solid, and yet he never really seems to stand out from a lot of other number 1 wide receivers. Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Greg Jennings, Braylon Edwards, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald… These are the names you hear banded around all the time. That’s great for us Fantasy players though. Santana will be available at round 5, possibly 6 and will provide you with a good load of points. He did well with Campbell throwing to him, now he has Donovan McNabb who will greatly improve the passing game.

Welcome To The Greatest Show On Reality TV
Jul 30th
So I’m sure you’d have heard about this, but on the off-chance… Terrell Owens has agreed terms with the Cincinnati Bengals and has joined up with them for training. He’s signed a one-year deal and Antonio Bryant has handed him his favoured #81 shirt (in exchange for a donation to one of little leagues) so the Chad and Terrell (and Antonio!) era begins. The CO/TO show.
Owens is 36 now, and not the number 1 option that he was, but he won’t be asked to be. He’ll need to contribute when called on, and be a good team member. You can’t really use last year’s stats as an indicator of his performance as the Bills were pretty bad. What you can look at is that he was a good soldier – the model of a quiet (for him) professional who just got on with it. If he can bring that attitude in, then he should do fine. And it’s difficult to imagine him taking verbal pops at Carson Palmer and have the team stand for it – their QB has proved himself again and again and is a popular leader there.

First look 2010… AFC North
Jun 16th
Being my first ‘Division’ prediction, ever, I figured I might as well do one for the division I know most about! The AFC North is usually an entertaining and exciting division. The matches are played well, and are usually close. Rivalry is fierce and the bouts are relentless. It’s always difficult predicting without seeing the four pre-season matches, but I’m going to give it a go.
Fantasy Football Live Draft
Sep 8th
So I’ve played the new Madden; I’ve watched Any Given Sunday; a fairly new addition: bought tickets for the Wembley game and got my predictions down on paper. What’s left?
Ah yes, the NFL Fantasy League draft…
So Far In Pre-Season: Quarterbacks
Aug 18th
This is more of a digest than a full article, as the first week is out of the way and there have been a mixture of expected and interesting scores. None of which we’re particularly interested in at this point.
However, a lot of QBs from starter to third string and beyond got some playtime under their belts. Let’s see how the starters and positional battles are shaping up…
4 Things I Want To Learn From Training Camp
Jul 17th
With NFL Training Camps just a few weeks away, we’ll soon be learning more about most of the teams.
These are four questions that I’m hoping to learn more about. Because they’re interesting, and because they’ll likely affect my NFL predictions.
