AFC East Showdown on Monday Night Football – Jets vs. Dolphins

Game-day: 10/12/2009
Kick-off: 8:30 pm EST

Mark Sanchez was kicked in the mouth this past Sunday when he and the rest of the New York Jets ran into a defensive buzz saw down in the N’Awlins. It wasn’t Drew Brees, Marques Colston and Reggie Bush who lit up the Jets. It was the Saints defense that accounted for 14 points, a returned interception for a TD and a fumble recovery in the end Zone, and caused Sanchez to throw 3 interceptions and fumble the ball once.

Week 5 Raiders vs. Giants NFL Predictions

NFL Game Day: G-Men host the Raiders

The Raiders continue to be the joke of the NFL, while the Giants continue to set the standard in the NFL. Talk about world’s colliding. In what was a definite romp, the Giants’ star quarterback, Eli Manning, has been sidelined by swelling in his foot and has watched David Carr take the majority of the first team snaps.
