Are You Ready For Some Football!?!?!?

First things first...An official HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Midnight Q roommate Jason Martin! You are hella old today! ;-P

Now, on to important business! Today is a wonderful day. Not just because the roommate turns 27, but also because today is the official start of football season! That's right, tonight the World Champion New Orleans Saints take on the very overrated Minnesota Vikings in the first game of the NFL regular season! I am very excited.

Football is a wonderful sport, and officially kicks off one of the most amazing sports times of the year. Soon, joining football will be hockey and the Sharks! Also, the baseball playoffs will start, which is always fun. The Lakers will also begin their title defense soon too. But football leads everything off, so it's time for predictions.

As usual, Jimmy B and I did our annual preseason predictions. We picked the division winners and wild cards, gave them seeds, ran through the playoffs, and got ourselves a champion! So, without further ado, here are our predictions for the 2010 season. Remember my disclaimer...all predictions wrong or your money back!
