Redskins-Giants Preview
MVN RSS — ... to win. Last weekend, all but one of them picked the Eagles. The Skins won that game. Peter King of sportsillustrated.cnn.com calls the game 27-23, Redskins . _________________________ The Redskins will wear their 1970-71 throwback uniforms for the Giants game. That uniform featured yellow helmets that resembled the Gren Bay Packers. The look was pushed by Vince Lombardi who coached the Redskins in 1969. Lombardi passed away before saw the colors. ____________________ The Redskins will honor former Redskins, former Giants Hall of Fame linebacker Sam Huff before the start of the game. The Giants were the first team defeated by the Redskins. The win came in the second game of the first season of the Boston Braves franchise in 1932.

Turf Show Times — ... as a pick up this week. Rams fans know that the team will need to do a lot of passing to make a go of it this week, so I'm not sure Leonard's a good bet to rack up the rushing yards this week. However, it's getting to the point where you just don't know anymore. The Rams haven't lost in Dallas since 1981...four games, including playoffs. If I were a betting man...

Picking On The Bears
Bear Goggles On | A Chicago Bears Blog — ... .  Indeed, Hester and Olsen both have lacked the opportunities to be playmakers on the offense so far.  If they are not more heavily involved this week, expect a gaggle of angry fans to be shouting Ron Turner s way. And my pick for Sunday?  I ll go with Da Bears.  Favre has been successful thus far with the dink n dunk, but he has done so against teams with a combined 5-11 record.  Besides, can he really carry this much of the offense like this for a long period of time?  Green Bay is passing over 60% of the time, and the passing attack accounts for 84% of the offensive production (Thanks to Peter King for those stats). While the Bears may still be banged up and have had uncertain play from the quarterback position thus far,  they are still one of the most talented rosters in the league.  More stable play from Griese will pay dividends, especially with the involement of Hester and Olsen.  If Benson holds on to the foo ...

Packers Preview 11/11/07
Packers Pundit — ... two players of note, Harrell and Blackmon have not played much if any this year. Not having Franks stinks, but Donald Lee is hot the last two games, and Collins being out really hurts, but Aaron Rouse filled in for him in the 4th quarter last week pretty decently. He did not make any playes, but he did not get picked on either, so he must have held his own. The jsonline crew make thier picks, and they all like the Packers in this one. Peter King of cnnsi picks the Packers, but at a new site that kinda hurts my eyes. The NFL continues to try ...

Peter King
FIRE JOE MORGAN — gives five reasons the Steelers will beat the Patriots on Sunday. 1-3 are completely legit. Then: 4. Hines Ward's will to win. The dude leads the league in it. I have Clinton Portis leading the league in WTW at 78.1. I guess we use different methodologies. 5. Just a gut feeling. Why enumerate this? Isn't every prediction at some level a "gut feeling?" Somebody please write something stupid about David Eckstein so I can stop writing about football journalism. It just isn't as much fun. ...

National Friday League, week fifteen
Pacifist Viking — ... developing their own young quarterback. Some people have looked at the moves they've made and wondered if they really want to win. I think it's quite obvious they do. But they don't merely want to win now; they want to build a competitive team that can win now and for several years. At 7-6, and with very winnable games coming up, we already may be seeing the results. (Heck, Peter King, who in the summer ranked the Vikes 31st in his Power Rankings, is now already predicting they win a playoff game this season. So you know they're good). ...

No drugs, just good football
Turf Show Times — ... Grant was pulled after a measly 29 carries in last week's win over the Raiders, with GB Coach Mike McCarthy telling Grant that he intended to keep him fresh for the postseason. The Packers, duh, are assured postseason play, and will continue using their starters this week as they look to clinch the first round bye. That means the Rams defenders will have to play better against the run than they did last week against Cincinnati; not an unreasonable goal given that, despite the overall rankings, they've been solid against the run this season. In fact, the Rams biggest weakness ...

Jets @ Patriots - what the pundits are saying
BOSTON IRISH — ... mind turning to a power running game to deliver some consistent physical abuse by pounding away on New York's front seven for four quarters. They will have the same goal for the defense -- hit and tackle as hard as they possibly can. The Patriots will get their gloves on -- mainly because it's cold -- and go for a real knockout this week. Patriots 70, Jets 14. Goodness me. How about the voice of wisdom and reason, Peter King of CNNSI? ...
