And mind you, there are quite a few.

The 2010 NFL football season draws near and that means some NFL teams have began tweaking their rosters here and there to find that combination that they hope will win them the Super Bowl.

First we have the New York Giants. They announced that they signed Jim Sorgi to a one-year deal. Contract terms were not disclosed. He will be backing up Eli Manning after doing the same job for six years working with his brother Peyton.

Sorgi will compete with second-year man Rhett Bomar for the Giants’ backup quarterback job. The 6-foot-5, 196-pound quarterback was the Colts’ sixth-round draft choice in 2004.

He has appeared in 16 NFL games, completing 99 of 156 pass attempts for 929 yards, with six touchdowns and one interception. He played in only one game in 2009, and was placed on injured reserve in December with shoulder tendinitis.

Next, the Minnesota Vikings signed kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd and re-signed cornerback Benny Sapp. Lloyd handled kickoffs for the Carolina Panthers the past two seasons, leading the NFL with 30 touchbacks in 2008. He had 21 touchbacks last year, tied for fourth-most in the league.

Ryan Longwell remains the regular kicker for…

For the first time ever, the Pro Bowl will come a week before THE big game, as this year’s Pro Bowl kicks off Super Bowl week with a bang.

Yes, the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl will now come before the Super Bowl and this year, the best players from both the AFC and the NFC will play at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Florida for this year’s annual showcase of the league’s premiere talent.

This way, football fans will be able to further build their anticipation heading to Super Bowl XLIV and as far as this year’s Pro Bowl starters are concerned, both teams’ rosters have some familiar faces.

Leading the pack for the AFC squad is Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. Other selections include Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson and Colts teammate Reggie Wayne.

Dallas Clark, who also plays for the Indianapolis Colts, was also voted in for the Pro Bowl to play tight end, starting tackles will be the Dolphins’ Jake Long and the Broncos’ Ryan Clady. Starting guards for the AFC will be the Patriots’ Logan Mankins and Alan Faneca of the New York Jets.

Faneca’s teammate Nick Mangold will be the AFC’s starting center…

Well, Tom Coughlin certainly hopes so.

At 7-6, the New York Giants are on the brink of missing the playoffs after such a strong start to the 2009 NFL football season a few months ago.

Yes, it looks like the Dallas Cowboys are not the only team having their fair share of problems this December as we witnessed the New York Giants squander away all the momentum they’ve generated during the early parts of the season.

Once lording over the NFC East, Eli Manning and the rest of the Giants now find themselves sitting third behind the struggling Cowboys. Their remaining three games are huge if they want to clinch that wild card playoff spot. A loss could very well be the killer to their hopes of a run at the Super Bowl.

On Monday Night Football, they have the Washington Redskins in the first of three must-win games for the Giants. After this NFC East rivalry, the Giants have the Carolina Panthers before heading to the Metrodome to face the red hot Minnesota Vikings.

Yup, it doesn’t look too good for the Giants right now. But if there’s that one guy who can help the Giants make that final push for the postseason, it’s Eli Manning. Sure, he can be inconsistent at times but the fact of the matter is, the guy can make plays when it counts the most.

Just ask the Patriots after Eli led the Giants to win…

Betting on the NFL for the last time before Christmas Day couldn’t be any better.

Because Week 15 of the 2009 NFL football season has FOUR games for you on primetime, two of ‘em could very well rewrite history while the other two could very well rewrite the playoff seeding.

Let’s start with the first team looking to rewrite history this season, the Indianapolis Colts. In case you haven’t noticed, they haven’t lost a game for quite some time now and on Thursday night Football, they are looking to continue their undefeated streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars to kick off Week 15.

Yep, the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars relive their AFC South rivalry. The Colts have already secured the AFC’s No.1 seed for the playoffs. And while the Jaguars would love to beat their AFC rivals this Thursday night and give themselves that late push for a wild card spot, the Colts are just playing too good to be beat these days.

The last time these two teams met, Indianapolis beat Jacksonville 14-12. The Colts are 12-4 all-time against the Jaguars with Peyton Manning at quarterback. The three-time league MVP, 28 of 38 for 301 yards with a touchdown and an interception in their last meeting with the Jaguars, passed for 4,354 yards with 30 TDs and 11 picks in those 16 games against Jacksonville.

Manning is looking to get back on track following a shaky…

Can the defending champions get the chance to defend their title?

That is the question some football fans are wondering coming to Week 14 of the 2009 NFL football season. You see, the defending champions Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of missing out on the opportunity to defend the championship they won last February. Hell, with the rate the Steelers are going, they could even MISS THE PLAYOFFS. Ouch.

At 6-6, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of not even making the postseason. They have dropped four straight and are still trailing the Broncos and the Jaguars for that wild card playoff spot.

Luckily, they have the Cleveland Browns, a team that has lost seven straight to put themselves in a three-way tie with the Buccaneers and the Rams for the worst record in the league at 1-11. The Browns are going nowhere and the Steelers shouldn’t have a problem taking care of business this Thursday night to kick off Week 14.

Besides, despite losing last Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger had a quarterback rating of over 100.0 for the second straight game. And since he had a whopping 417 yards and two touchdowns the last time he played the Browns, I don’t expect him to have a bad game against this team.

Steelers by 14 points on Thursday Night Football.

Next, we have a classic NFC East rivalry on Sunday Night Football where…

Don’t worry, we got you covered.

Yes, it’s Thanksgiving and since it’s customary for the NFL to bombard you with not one, not two, but THREE games for you to enjoy while you stuff yer mouth with that turkey, we’re gonna tell you which team to bet on as we kick off Week 12 of the 2009 NFL football season.

And in case you’re wondering, the Detroit Lions will once again host a Thanksgiving Day game. Go figure. This year, the 2-8 Lions take on the 6-4 Green Bay Packers and just like the last time the Lions hosted a Thanksgiving Day game, they’re going to get their asses kicked all over Ford Field for the entire world to see.

The Green Bay Packers, who have won their last two games, will have to compensate for the losses of the two Pro Bowl players; cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Aaron Kampman, as both players will miss the rest of the season because of knee injuries.

The Packers will plug in either rookie Brad Jones or Brady Poppinga to replace Kampman at left outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme. Jones started for Kampman, who…

This week, we’re kicking off on the wild side.

Yep, you read it, Week 11 of the 2009 NFL football season will kick off on the wild side because this week, the Miami Dolphins and that wildcat offense will travel to Bank of America Stadium to take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football.

Now I don’t know about you but that’s the way to start a week of football. The Miami Dolphins have become one of the most exciting teams in the NFL because of that explosive wildcat offense that the Dolphins introduced to the league last year. If they can just win more games with the wildcat.

As of this writing, both the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers have an identical 4-5 mark. The Panthers’ 28-19 win over Atlanta last Sunday put them one game behind the Falcons, Packers, Eagles and Giants in the wild card picture, with a game in New York still remaining on their schedule.

The Dolphins BARELY saved themselves from falling to 3-6 after quarterback Chad Henne gave up an interception in the last two minutes of their game against the Buccaneers last Sunday. The Bucs came up with a touchdown, giving them the 23-22 lead with 1:14 to go. Thankfully, Henne didn’t made the same mistake when they got the ball back as…

Yep, and in these next few weeks, we’ll have an idea if a Super Bowl title is in the Patriots’ immediate future.

Things have really heated up in the 2009 NFL football season. The Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints are flirting with perfection, the Dallas Cowboys are on top of the NFC East and the New England Patriots, well… the Patriots have the opportunity to make that huge step towards a solid run for the Super Bowl.

You see, the New England Patriots will be tested in the next three weeks, starting with a rivalry game with the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday Night Football. They have their AFC East rivals New York Jets next followed by a date with the perfect New Orleans Saints at the Superdome on a Monday night.

That could make or break any football team and if Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots are serious in making a run for the title this season, winning all three of these games are as important as SpongeBob never forgetting his square pants.

For now, the Patriots are focused on their date with Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. This annual game between the Patriots and the Colts have become as big as the Super Bowl itself. And as far as the Patriots are concerned, they enjoy playing the Colts every single season with a possible trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

”We always enjoy playing them. They’re a great team…”

And although these teams from NYC and Philly won’t be playing for the World Series, this one should be as exciting since we’ll have two of the best in the NFC.

Yes, Week 8 of the 2009 NFL football season continues with a classic rivalry in the NFC. The New York Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, and since both teams are playing to be on top of the very competitive NFC East, expect this one to be one of the most physical games you’ll ever see in the NFL this season.

As of this writing, the New York Giants have a half game lead over both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. All three teams haven’t lost more than two games after seven weeks and it looks like the NFC East is once again turning into the best division, not only in pro football, but in sports, period.

Last Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles started taking on the NFC East, beating the Washington Redskins 27-17 on Monday Night Football. Everybody picked the Eagles over the Redskins coming into this one and after scoring the first 17 points of the game, it was clear the Eagles were dead serious in claiming the top spot of the division.

This Sunday, the Eagles have the Giants, the second of three teams from the NFC East they have to take on in succession. Can Philly get another win before they take on the Dallas Cowboys next week?

The Eagles have been struggling offensively lately. Despite…

The trading deadline is over. That means it’s all business from here all the way to the Super Bowl.

And on Week 7 of the 2009 NFL football season, that’s exactly what we’ll be having. Hopefully, it’ll be good business for the rest of you when you win some dough betting on this weekend’s games.

And speaking of this weekend’s games, the Dallas Cowboys are back from their bye week as they take on the Atlanta Falcons. This game will feature two of the most prolific tight ends in the NFL, Dallas’ Jason Witten and Atlanta’s Tony Gonzalez. Only thing is, Witten hasn’t been getting any passes from Tony Romo lately while Gonzalez is keeping the Falcons look brilliant for picking him up during the offseason.

Tony Gonzalez leads all tight ends with 471 receptions and 5,560 yards, helping the Atlanta Falcons to a 4-1 mark. He scored one in their 21-14 win over Chicago after connecting with quarterback Matt Ryan who has guided the team to wins in seven of the past eight games.

However, getting a win over a team coming off from a bye week is tough, especially against a Dallas Cowboys team looking to give their new Cowboy Stadium only its second win in three games. We’re going with the ‘Boys by three.

On Sunday Night Football, we have the Arizona Cardinals visiting the Big Apple to face the New York Giants. New York is 5-1 and leads the NFC East while the Cardinals are tied for first in the…
