READERS SOUND OFF: LIONS @ EAGLES

WHO WINS THE GAME BETWEEN THE 2-0 LIONS AND THE 0-2 EAGLES???

COMMENT BELOW:


LaBelles Take: The Lions have a very good chance to start 3-0, but they won't. Westbrook will be too much for the Lions defense. I predict the Lions will lead much of the first half and blow the game on some Kitna turnovers late in the game. Eagles win 31-27

READERS SOUND OFF: PSU @ MICHIGAN

DOES MICHIGAN HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST PENN STATE??

LET BL SPORTS KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AND COMMENT BELOW


LaBelle's take: No. Notre Dame is beyond terrible. They are going to start 0-8. Penn State is not that good, but they are far better than Michigan is with a QB making his second career start. Mallet will be very good, but probably not for a while. Derrick Williams will show that he is the best athlete in the game, and the Penn State D will keep Hart to 4YPC or less and win a game in the low to mid 20s.

Bet the U tonight

Miami FL is a great bet tonight. Javarris James gets into the endzone twice and the Hurricane D shuts down the running game of the Aggies.

Hurricanes by 10.

NFL Power Rankings

NFL Power Rankings

1. Patriots- If you argue this fact you are being biased in some way. That is a guarantee. They are damn near perfect.

2. Colts- A dropped pass from a Tennessee WR kept the Colts from 1-1, but as long as Addai stays healthy they are number 2.

3. Chargers- Damn good, Patriots owned them however. Rivers needs to be better if the Chargers want a Super Bowl Ring.

4. Cowboys- The offense is rolling, and so far TO and Romo are still boys. That could change, and no one knows how to mess up a good thing like Mr. Owens.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers- Looking dominant, but haven't played too much talent yet. Big Ben looks real good though.

6. Denver Broncos- Very lucky to be 2-0, however I truly believe that as the season goes on this team improves tremendously. Cutler will get better, and the two RB set of Mike Bell and Henry has been and will be very effective as the season goes on.

7. Washington Redskins- The Redskins secondary of Springs, C Rogers, Sean Taylor, and Landry honestly could have 4 pro bowlers. Jason Campbell is not a top notch QB, but I think he is the perfect fit for the Redskins offense. This team is going to be better than most think.

8. Houston Texans- For now.....they have been damn impressive and Atlanta fans must really hate that Schaub is ballin, and they have Joey.

9. Green Bay Packers- The Packers play SD this weekend, and have very little of a ground game. If the Packers win this game they will skyrocket in next week's rankings. Favre is playing well, and the D is very strong.

10. SF 49ers- Their offense is terrible. But I am not wiling to put the Lions on here, or the Bengals since they gave up 50 to Derek Frickin Anderson.
