What's stopping it? Romo...He'll find a way to lose big games or Dez will drop a pass...

What a beast.

He going for 2,000 this year

Cowboys year-after-year are forced down our throats as being a Super Bowl contender...I don't understand why, same with the Chargers....teams haven't proven a GOD DAMN thing to deserve the praise they get year in and year out.

Hope he comes back strong this and has a good year. Absolute beast 

 

[651akathepaul]

Been waiting for the year Peterson broke the single season rushing record. I fear it will never come though.

You're right man and it's disgusting...I just feel this is their year. They finally addressed their secondary. And truthfully, were one pass away from making the playoffs this year.

They have the talent and Jerry has expressed his level of urgency...he's not getting any younger and he wants to win. Obviously injuries can change things in a matter of seconds, but I think this is their year.

 

[freddie black]

7 to 1 favorites for Denver?  With that schedule?  I think we'll do a little better than what everyone else seems to think with their tempered expectations but they are certainly nowhere near SB ready.

Besides, I need them to get there next year so I can actually attend.  Manning v. Manning.

 

[casperjr]

Manning Vs cutler is more like it

Something very curious is happening in Las Vegas.

With the NFL's player movement period over and the relative composition of each team settled for the upcoming season, the assorted opinions of the betting public have begun to shape an extremely interesting futures market. Some of the movements behind traditionally popular teams like the Bears and Giants aren't much of a surprise, but the action on last year's unlikely contenders has headed in some unexpected directions. That action has led to the Patriots being toppled from their post as the favorites to win next year's Super Bowl, with that honor now belonging to …

The San Francisco 49ers??? That's correct: The Niners have gone from opening at 10/1, where they were tied as the fifth favorites alongside the Saints, to 4/1 favorites at the MGM family of sportsbooks to win Super Bowl XLVII.

New England	5/1	6/1
Pittsburgh	6/1	12/1
Philadelphia	6/1	10/1
Green Bay	7/1	6/1
New Orleans	10/1	12/1
San Francisco	10/1	4/1
San Diego	12/1	25/1
NY Giants	12/1	18/1
Detroit	18/1	12/1
Atlanta	18/1	25/1
Houston	18/1	12/1
Dallas	20/1	10/1
Baltimore	20/1	15/1
Indianapolis	25/1	150/1
Chicago	25/1	8/1
Tennessee	30/1	80/1
Cincinnati	30/1	30/1
NY Jets	30/1	12/1
Buffalo	50/1	30/1
Kansas City	50/1	40/1
Minnesota	75/1	80/1

[SneakerProSr.]

Because they have a lot of fan that will bet on them no matter what.

Vegas doesn't want to go broke if hell freezes over.

[h1]25 NFL Players Have Been Arrested Since The Super Bowl
[/h1]
The offseason can be a tumultuous time for many athletes as they struggle to fill the free time usually taken up by team activities, and many unfortunately turn to less than recommendable behavior.
A grand total of 25 NFL players have been arrested since the New York Giants won the 2012 Super Bowl (lucky for Lions fans, Mikel Leshoure and Nick Fairley have been arrested twice, for a total of 27 arrests).

In other words, the season can't get here soon enough. Here's a rundown of all the illegal activity so far, via UT San Diego:

1. February 8th: 49ers lineman Ray McDonald arrested on an outstanding warrant for DUI.
2. February 10th: Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga charged with assault after punching employee at a bar. 
3. February 13th: Bears linebacker J.T. Thomas arrested after traffic violation, charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. 
4. February 18th: Lions running back Mikel Leshoure arrested for marijuana possession. 
5. February 23rd: Jaguars defensive tackle Nate Collins arrested for marijuana possession. 
6. February 25th: Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill arrested for marijuana possession. 
7. February 26th: Seahwaks offensive lineman Jarriel King arrested for sexual assault. 
8. March 12th: Lions running back Mikel Leshoure arrested again for marijuana possession. 
9. March 17th: Colts offensive lineman Samson Satele arrested for disorderly conduct.
10. March 30th: Dolphins linebacker Koa Misi arrested for battery. 
11. April 3rd: Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley arrested for marijuana possession. 
12. April 7th: Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey arrested for DUI. 
13. April 26th: ******** safety Brandon Meriweather arrested for DUI.  
14. April 28th: Vikings running back Caleb King arrested for assault. 
15. May 27th: Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley arrested for DUI, evading police. 
16. June 2nd: Vikings fullback Jerome Felton arrested for suspicion of DUI. 
17. June 3rd: Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon arrested for DUI.
18. June 10th: Giants offensive lineman David Diehl arrested for DWI.
19. June 23rd: Lions cornerback Aaron Berry arrested on suspicion of DUI. 
20. June 23rd: Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson arrested for careless driving. 
21. July 2nd: Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright arrested for suspicion of DUI. 
22. July 3rd: Browns defensive tackle Kiante Tripp arrested for burglary.
23. July 7th: Vikings running back Adrian Peterson arrested and charged with resisting arrest after a nightclub scuffle.
24. July 8th: Eagles running back Dion Lewis arrested for falsely reporting an incident after pulling fire alarms. 
25. July 14th: Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm.
26. July 14th: Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch arrested for DUI.
27. July 16th: Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence.

Fewer than half the teams in the NFL — 14 to be exact — have not had a player arrested this offseason. At least, not yet.

When it comes to conference supremacy, the NFC leads the AFC in total arrests, 16-9. The AFC still has 50 days to catch up until the regular season kicks off.

Don't worry...It's just bait. Props...You didn't even nibble.

RGIII signed his deal with the ********.

Per Albert Breer:

Griffin's deal with the ******** is worth $21,119,098 over four years, fully guaranteed.

 

[ooiron manoo]

This forum is going to take some getting used to especially for season long threads...

49ers vs Broncos

 

[651akathepaul]

I hope NFL Network doesn't turn dumb. I saw on NFL Total Access something comparing the situations of Tebow with that of Jeremy Lin's. Who cares?
