If you're not from New England you may not know who David Givens is. David Givens is the Patriots' career leader in postseason touchdown catches with seven. After a career in New England where it is said that he became a good receiver only because Tom Brady was his QB, he left the Patriots and joined the Titans in March of 2006.

Week 1 NFL picks came out pretty good considering it was the first week. John Mugatu squeezed out a win against me going 12/15 while I was 11/15. This week we have K-Dub and Jon Pysz joining us.

Here are your NFL Week 2 picks:

Arizona Cardinals @ Jacksonville Jaguars
DJ - Cardinals
Mugatu - Jaguars
Pysz - Cardinals
K-Dub- Cardinals

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons
DJ - Panthers
Mugatu - Falcons
Pysz - Panthers
K-Dub- Falcons

Cincinnati Bengals @ Green Bay Packers
DJ- Packers

Free Safety Kerry Rhodes for the New York Jets decided to run his mouth about his week 2 opponents the New England Patriots.

Donavan McNabb did his best Jerome "The Bus" Bettis impersonation when scoring a rushing touchdown today against the Panthers. The only problem is McNabb is not a Bus and he fractured his rib trying. This will only fire the fuel of rumors of when Michael Vick will play. We know he can't play next week while he's finishing his 2 game suspension but if this rib becomes a problem for McNabb we may see Vick in week 3.

I'm starting this at the beginning of the 2nd quarter but I've watched the whole game so far. I blame the new unstoppable pooping machine, also known as my puppy, for the late start.

1st Quarter - Nothing special from Brett. Peterson is the man in Minnesota right now.

2nd Quarter
12:15 - Great pass to Peterson. Leads to a rushing touchdown by Peterson, of course. Peterson is still the man and I haven't seen much from Brett yet.

Oh damn.. I just realized the guy I'm going against in fantasy football has Adrian Peterson. I feel like an assclown.

The Steelers barely beat the Titans on Thursday. (13-10) in a game where Polamalu, leaving in the 2nd Quarter with a left medial collateral knee sprain that is expected to sideline him three to six weeks, had an interception and made great play after great play. He is the difference maker on the field and it was made clear when Kerry Collins ripped apart the defense for a 71-yard touchdown drive in the closing moments of the first half.

Here’s one man’s look into the future at how it’s all going to shake out in the AFC:

Ugh. This was almost ready to go and then Brady’s knee got Gillooly’d by Bernard Pollack and I couldn’t think about football until now. By the way, love the consistency of the NFL – Vince Wilfork gets pushed into J.P. Losman in last season's opener and got flagged and fined; Pollack hits the reigning MVP below the knee and gets nothing. Anyway, I’m amazed by the amount of glee all the Patriots’ ‘Haters’ have shown to Brady’s injury and look forward to an exciting season.

Thank heavens we're done with the boring, pointless and mostly unnecessary preseason (like 1 or 2 games wouldn't suffice?) and we can finally move on to the real games. This is going to be a quick preview of the season and predictions of each team's final standings.

AFC East

The AFC or Alpha dog Football Conference is where all the parity talk in the NFL flies right out the window. Pencil in the Pats, Chargers and Colts. The rest of the teams comprise the beta dogs (well except for KC they could be best summed up as the three legged dog that urinates blood and lives in a gutter), and these teams will fight for the meager scraps left come playoff time.
