The Texans are a great looking team, and with Shaub, Johnson, and Foster healthy, they are one of the best teams in the league. The Texans also possess an incredible defense that will terrorize Blaine Gabbert all afternoon. The Jaguars struggle at home when they are the underdog, and I expect this game to be no different. I look for the Texans to come out on fire against this Jags defense and force Gabbert to throw playing from behind. Underdogs dominate week 2, but not in this case. I love the Texans swallowing the points in this game.
My Projection- ( Houston -7 )

Pick Of The Week: Florida vs. Tennessee 9/15/12
Well I was able to recover from my disappointing week one .500 record by going 8-2 in picks last week. I went 2-0 in free picks here on this blog with Cincy over Pitt in college, and Chicago over Indy in NFL. This week my free Pick Of The Week puts Tennessee swallowing the points against SEC East rival Florida. The Vols come in with a very high octane passing attack that loves to spread the ball around in the air. I look for matchup issues with the Gators secondary against these Vols receivers, and expect it to be the deciding factor. The Gators are only undefeated thanks to two strong fourth quarter performances. The Gators defense is not bad, but have proven to be exploitable in the first two weeks. I love the Vols by 10 against the Gators at home.
My Pick- ( Tennessee -3 )

Fantasy Go To Guys: Sunday 9/9/12
This is a weekly guide to my suggested Fantasy Sleepers. These are the guys that ride your bench, but could put up some surprising points for your squad. Opening week is a tough one, but I got some pretty good tips for ya!
1. Rashad Jennings- RB Jacksonville Jaguars- I look for Jennings to see a pretty nice workload with MJD being eased back into things. He is worth the pickup for the week if your soft at your #2 RB spot.
2. Eric Decker- WR Denver Broncos- The word is Manning and Decker have already developed quite a chemistry together. Decker is a lot like Colts WR's we have seen Manning pair up with in the past, with much success. I look for Manning to be victorious in his debut in Denver.
3. Ronnie Brown- RB San Diego Chargers- I look for Brown to get a big workload against a nice matchup in the Raiders. The shoulder injury to Matthews has ruled him out, and Brown looks to be the man. I look for Brown to have a very nice outing.
4. Jake Locker- QB Tennessee Titans- Locker will open up against a very good Patriots team, but this will be a very competitive game at home. Chris Johnson holds the key as the Titans need to control the clock against a very good Pats offense. I like the Pats to win, but Locker is a solid start.
5. Shonne Greene- RB New York Jets- The Bills will face the unpredictability of a Jets Wildcat Package on Sunday. Tebow will see some game time and keep the Bills defense guessing. This will open it up for Greene to have a nice afternoon.
Pick Of The Week: Indianapolis Colts vs. Chicago Bears 9/9/12
The real debut of Colts rookie QB Andrew Luck will be a tough one Sunday. Luck will face a tough Bears defense who will bring the heat on Luck all afternoon. I expect to see luck flushed out and going to the dirt often. The Bears much improved offense will also be on display, and I expect to see Cutler and Marshall put up some nice Fantasy stats. If you have Cutler, Marshall, Bush, or Forte, they are safe bets on your Fantasy squad. I think the Bears will be too much this afternoon for Indy. Last week I struggled to get at .500, but since Monday for new Facebook Fans I have hit Georgia Tech +7, Cincinnati -3.5( Free Pick On This Page), Cowboys +4, and Utah State +7. I expect to keep the streak going through tomorrow.
My Projection- Chicago -9

2012 AFC South Preview
The AFC South is a very young division. The division includes the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Tennessee Titans, which are all teams in the process of building. The Houston Texas will have no competition in this division this season. The Titans will be the next best thing, and I actually love Jake Locker as a Fantasy sleeper. The Titans will have a refocused Chris Johnson, and some new weapons the Titans have put in place. It should be a very fun conference to watch in 2012.
1.Houston Texans- The Texans have built quite a football team down in the Lone Star State. If the Texans can stay healthy they will be a legitimate contender to win it all. They are loaded on defense with one of the best defensive cords calling the shot shots. Phillips will have is squad ready to go for 2012. The offense is where the injury issues dwell, especially Matt Shaub, Owen Daniels, and Andre Johnson. They have the best RB in the game with Arian Foster, but he has even become known for getting nicked up. The Texans just have too much in the end.
2012 Projection- (10-6)
2. Tennessee Titans- The Titans should be an exciting young team to watch this season. I love Jake Locker as a sleeper at QB this season. I even have him starting in week 1 against New England at home. Chris Johnson should regroup after a very disappointing campaign is 2011. I also look for this young receiving core, and TE Jared Cook to really have breakout seasons. The defense has had some very promising moments in the preseason, and if they continue to play like they have, the Titans could be very surprising team.
2012 Projection- (8-8)
3. Indianapolis Colts- The Colts have been a big offseason topic due to the drafting of Andrew Luck with the #1 pick. You can't seem to o anywhere without someone asking, Luck or RG3? The fact is both are going to be very successful in the NFL over the next decade. The Colts have the reliable Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie for Luck to target. I also feel Donald Brown will be a big sleeper in the backfield. I look for Brown to go over a 1000 yds with 10 TD's in 2012. The Colts on defense have the same guys such as Freeney and Mathis, but they are getting older. I like the direction in Indy, but this year will be tough.
2012 Projection- (5-11)
4. Jacksonville Jaguars- The Jags just don't have enough of anything. The receiving core is improved with the addition of Justin Blackmon, but he can't do it alone. Blaine Gabbert has also proved nothing to me, and I expect this season to be the same. Maurice Jones Drew is of course the leader of this team, and his holdout has set him back to start the season. The defense really has nothing that impressive to speak of, but I look for some slight improvement on this side of the ball.

2012 AFC North Preview
This is hands down my favorite division in the NFL. The Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals will all be very solid teams, and the defenses in this division are awesome. I even think the Browns will be much more competitive this season. I don't think the Browns record will reflect it in the end. The Browns will be in the cellar around 4-12, but look for the games to be close. We are just days away from the NFL opening weekend, and 3 of these teams are featured in primetime on Sunday & Monday night. The Broncos play the Steelers Sunday night, and Ravens vs Bengals on Monday night.
1. Baltimore Ravens- It will be business as usual for the Ravens in 2012. The team is getting a little older, but they still have tons of talent. The defense goes without saying every year in Baltimore. This year that defense will once again be the key, but they will enjoy an improving offense. The Ravens have built a decent offense through the drafting of Ray Rice, Joe Flacco, and Torrey Smith, and they are beginning to look like a solid unit. Expect another big season for you Raven fans.
2012 Projection- (12-4)
2. Cincinnati Bengals- This may come as a shock to Pittsburgh fans, but I believe the Bengals will take the number 2 spot in the AFC North this season. The Bengals have a nice combo brewing at QB and WR with Daulton and Green. The addition of the Law Firm to the backfield could pay off nicely as well. The defense was good last year, and I expect the same this season. Fantasy players should also look for Jermaine Gresham at TE.
4. Cleveland Browns- The Browns have had it rough lately and expect the same. The Browns have begun moving in the right direction, but they are very young on offense. I look for Colt McCoy to be the starting QB by week 5. Trent Richardson will be expected to carry quite a load in the backfield when he becomes healthy. The defense will struggle in Cleveland and the team must work on key components on this side of the ball as well. They have some players on defense, but not enough. They will play closer games, and probably pull a couple of upsets, but will finish in the cellar.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers- The Steelers are getting old, and that's the reason I have them in this spot. You combine the age issue with the inconsistent RB situation, and you have to feel its rebuilding time. Pittsburgh will still be a decent club, but have been passed by Cincy. I look for the Steelers to go down Sunday night against Denver and finish .500.
2012 Projection (8-8)

Pick Of The Week: Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati 9/6/12
The Bearcats are coming off another very impressive season in 2011. The Panthers will be an improved team in 2012, but I don't expect an upset in Cincy. Cincy escaped with a 3 point victory last year in Pittsburgh resulting in a push. I look for Jameel Poteat to have a breakout season, and the Bearcats to be a legitimate contender in the Big East. I like the Bearcats by double digits. My apologies for not getting to the Dallas vs Giants game as I have been a little under the weather. I can't wait for this weekend and some redemption.
My Projection- (Cincy-3.5)
