Kicking off Week 5: Browns v. Bills


First of all, is anyone else in disbelief that it's October? We are already a month into the NFL regular season! Before we know, it will be Super Bowl in freezing cold February. I know, I'm getting ahead of myself. One thing's for sure as the season continues, it may get colder outside, but things are certainly going to start heating up in the NFL.

Before we talk about tonight's game, let's look back at MNF. I predicted a Saints win, but a close win, against the Dolphins. Did the Saints win? Yes. Was it a close game? Absolutely not. But that's what I LOVE about NFL. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, you are proven wrong. It was a great game for the Saints, who are still undefeated. New Orleans had a mediocre season last year. They finished 3rd in their division with a 7-9 record, a stretch from the 13-3 season in '11 and  the Super Win two years before that. This year, they're off to a good start. And Drew Brees certainly still has it. He completed 413 yards, a quarter of those yards were complete thanks to Jimmy Graham, who I boasted about in the last post. We also have to talk about RB Darren Sproles. After coming to the Saints in 2011 from San Diego, he rushed over 600 yards. On Monday, he completed over 100 yards. He's putting up big numbers for the Saints; as long as he stays healthy you can expected the numbers to keep rolling. The Saints are a force to be reckon with. They face the Bears in Chicago on Sunday. That is going to be one goooooood game. Jay Cutler Despite being on the road, I think the Saints will remain undefeated after Sunday.

I know I got a little ahead of myself talking about Sunday when it’s still Thursday. So let's look at tonight's game: Browns v. Bills. This should be interesting. Both teams are coming into tonight's game with a recent win. The Bills beat the reigning super bowl champs last weekend. It was close, but since the Bill's were the underdog, I don't think anyone saw that coming. Rookie QB, EJ Manuel has a good handle on his team and a good connection with his receivers. The Browns looked good against Cincinnati, but they lost to the Ravens in Week 2 and the Dolphins in Week 1. The Bills will add another W to their record tonight.
