Friday Night Lights has come and gone, but the picture at quarterback has only gotten murkier. Every quarterback made his mark--be it positively or negatively. In his two series with the first team, Chris Redman, who is commonly projected to start the season at the top of the depth chart threw exactly one completion--to linebacker Michael Boley. Matt Ryan's first series went three-and-out and included an unspectacular intentional grounding penalty when Boley (again) came through the line and applied pressure. Ryan rebounded in the first series of the second half, finding Roddy White for a 60-yard TD pass.

Finally, these so called experts are recognizing the Lakers defense. The defense that exposed and discombobulated the Nuggets offense. The defense that was a huge contributing factor in allowing the Lakers to “sweep”. During the Lakers/Nuggets series we had to listen to how the Nuggets imploded, how it was all on them, but hello did anyone take a look at the shooting percentages of AI and Carmelo. The Lakers went into that series on an obvious mission and that was not to let AI and Carmelo have great offensive games. Mission Accomplished.

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.
