IT'S FOOTBALL TIME
Get ready for the 2010 NFL season as thirteen games go today and a double header tomorrow night.
The New Orleans Saints started off right in their defense of their Super Bowl title by beating Minnesota, 14-9 in the Thursday night opener in the Superdome.
The game was surprisingly low scoring between two teams that led the NFL is putting up points a year ago.
Look for possibly more of the same today as defense will likely dominate the first week.
In Pittsburgh, the Steelers look to get back to the basics of playing good, solid defense and running the football against the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, they will be without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the first four games as he serves a league disciplinary suspension.
The Cincinnati Bengals travel to New England and play the once mighty Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady. The Bengals have a dynamic duo in wide receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens in 2010 and are also counting on another strong defensive effort this season.
The Houston Texans host the Colts and would like to finally get over the hump and knock off the Colts, a team they have beaten only one time in eight years.
The amped up offense of the Green Bay Packers, with emerging superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, travels to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, who have a new quarterback as Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. Kevin Kolb gets the start at QB for Philly.
The Redskins will host the Dallas Cowboys on the Sunday Night Football game as they seek to get back to the post-season. Tony Romo and the Cowboys have a lot of pressure as they seek to become the first ever team to play in the Super Bowl in their own stadium.
There should be a lot of excitement this weekend as the season gets rolling and on Monday night it wraps up with two very hyped teams as the New York Jets and their loud mouthed Head Coach Rex Ryan host the Baltimore Ravens in the new Meadowlands Stadium.
Week One winners should be...
Bears, Titans, Dolphins, Steelers, Broncos, Colts, Giants, Patriots, Bucs, Cardinals, 49ers, Packers, Cowboys, Ravens and Chargers.
Get ready, get set... here we go.
