NFL Comments

One game into the second week of the NFL season, here are some early observations.

I will not start the big anti Peyton Manning comments now but seven touchdowns vs the team (Baltimore Ravens) that beat his Denver Broncos in the playoffs is a bit of “too much” and definitely late.

Denver and Manning are very good and as the season begins they are in the far weaker conference. Thus they are the top choice to win it all.

At this point, a perceived weak conference and division are the biggest things the New England Patriots have going for them. This despite a (2-0) record.

Favored by about 10 points in each win, New England won at Buffalo vs the Bills by 2 points and managed but a three point win in a home Thursday night tilt vs the now (1-1) New York Jets.

In the Sunday night, early season, divisional battle between two highly rated NFC teams, the Seattle Seahawks, playing at home, are about three point favorites vs the San Francisco 49ers.

If not this week, when it is hard to go vs Seattle at home, I believe sooner or later, the Niners, will take charge and win the NFC West.
