Yet Another Outlook on the 2008 NFL Season

Can you feel it…it’s almost here. Tonight, billions of households around the world will tune in to watch an event that affects the next few months for all of us. No…I don’t mean the Republican National Convention, I’m talking about the kickoff to the 2008 NFL regular season. The New York Giants begin their Super Bowl title defense against the Washington Redskins, in what could be deemed…”The Enigma Bowl”. Many fans don’t know what to think of these two teams, but will no doubt be glued to their television screens like they’re watching the Super Bowl.

 

Before the season gets off and running, I figured I’d throw out my predictions for the upcoming NFL season.

I’m not an expert, and I’ve never claimed to be one. But I am a football fan nonetheless. If you have a comment leave here.
