Another season of the NFL is just about to get started...with the new re-alignment in the conferences and the addition of an expansion team, new coaches and new players, expectations are running high as ever this season...who are your picks(players and teams) to fly high or crash and burn?

i going for the Pats again. ive always been a patriots fan as long as ive watched football. last year with Brady as QB they got the job done and the only people to give them credit for a good year were the devote fans. hell, look at the console games and stuff like that. the Rams and other teams are all over the covers and the commercials but guess what...they fucken lost last year. you dont see a Pats player anywhere and they were the winning team.

anyway i think they still have it in them. maybe not another superbowl but they will make the finals.

The rams are still a fine choice to do well. Any tean that has 2 of the best offensive players in the game plus a top 5 rated defense is sure to do well. I think san fransisco can do well this year too

hehehehehe. Don't know why they call it the National Football League, kicking in general play is a last resort. I mean they don't even play on real grass!

the reason why it was called football from early on was that kicking was a big part of the game .... Punting and kicking ...which they still do now ..but there was another form of kicking which is still valid to do now but hasnt beend one in so long because no one can do it anymore..... its called a Drop Kick.... which i believe anyone behind the line of scrimage and drop the ball and let it bouce and kick it in the goal post if it goes in its 2 points......similar to a rugby kick but it has to kit the ground first and has to bounce and then kick it......but its a pretty much usesless thing to do knowing that are kickers are better then they were 50 years ago...but thats why it was called american football because the foot was used a lot in the game..... the game is involved then when it was created

and for saying they dont play in grass ...more fields are on grass then turff....most of the domes are turff but thats it ..so your wrong about that assumtion about they dont even play in grass...and if they didnt turff isnt as soft as grass so when u fall it hurts way more then grass and turff and cause ton of more injureys usually ankle and leg cuz of the gripp the foot gets on turff..

and for the person who said it has to be the shittiest sport ever invented ..well if you learned how to play and especially live in this country u would love it more then u think u would...football is US #1 sport ...over baseball,and basketball..... there not many people who dont like football that are american...and the Superbowl is one of the highest viewed sporting event in the world.... and if you think that its mostly americans viewing it ..thats means almost all americans watch the superbowl ..... its a great sport it truely is ... the european leagues are haveing more sucess with fans now ...and they are seeing who this sport is such a great sport to watcha nd play ....

RAIDERS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!! they should of won last year but they will do good this year ..... its all about SILVER & BLACK ..... real men wear black lol!!!

your my man!!!! the pats will rock again this year...the only difference is that their not as underdogs as they were last year..

and for those who said football is the worst sport, well its because you never played it...it may be the hardest sport, but its the best to play....
