First look 2010… AFC South
Jul 14th
Two divisions left to go, both in the AFC. The West, but first let’s take a look at the South. Things didn’t happen in quite the way they were predicted last season. Judging by the number of Colts and Titans shirts we saw at Wembley last year, UK NFL fans would love to see some of these teams in London soon. But they’ll probably just have to hope for serious post-season runs for now…
Bengals sign ex-Jag Matt Jones
Feb 14th
There’s been a lot of redemption and second chances right across the league for a long time, but morese – it seems – than ever recently. Someone who probably does deserve it (because he’s not been that bad really…) is Matt Jones, previously of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jones was released at the end of the 2008 season by the Jacksonville Jaguars when two ‘substance abuse-related’ arrests. These were the cherry on top of a string of offences and poor discipline and all sorts of issues about his character.
The mind really boggles at players who have chances most would dream of, who then try their hardest to mess it up completely. The Cincinnati Bengals have managed their fair share of troubled players and will be hoping that they’ve got a bargain for next season here. Jones, who turned down the Titans, will be looking to play well, keep his nose clean and then get paid the year after.
And let’s face it… if Michael Vick can find a place and not be booed too much in Phili, then there’s hope for every player who’s trying to carve something out.

Results, NFL Week 4 2009
Oct 6th
For Graham and me, it came down to last night as we were both 9-4 heading into it and I’d gone with the Vikings where he had the Packers. So I beat Graham this week, as did John from TheBettingAdvantage – both of us on 10-4.
Two upsets this weekend, with the Jaguars sending the Titans tumbling to 0-4 and with the Broncos surprising pretty much everyone to go 4-0 over a Cowboys team that are looking bad. As a Redskins fan, I approve, but even I was embarrassed for them watching Brandon Marshall outwit the entire secondary for a 51 yard score. Anyway… I’ve included it here for the chuckles it gives me (and as a Redskins fan, I have to take pleasure wherever I can this season!)
The Broncos though! Like most (outside of Denver) we haven’t been convinced. They have two tough games coming up (Patriots, then travelling to San Diego) but we’re keeping a wary eye on them now. The Titans are surprising us just as much, but in the other direction.
Second Look… AFC South
Aug 3rd
In my First Look at the AFC South I called it one of the toughest to call. And it still looks like that today.
I’ve not made many adjustments to my predictions elsewhere so far. Let’s see if there’s any changes here.

First Look… AFC South
Jun 3rd
So many of the divisions seem to have me saying “this is a tough one to call”… and the AFC South is the same again. The Colts took five successfive titles until last year’s impressive Titans‘ run but the Jaguars have made their mark in recent years too.
