2005 NFC South Football Preview

2005 NFC South Football Preview OVERVIEW: NFC South NFC Southin Research in Tampa Bay and Carolina to take and take the Falcons in 2005, the fall of grace will fall on the shoulders of QB Michael Vick, who was largely a product of hype the media, the type course is similar to a deer, but there should be more wide receivers and that is exactly what Vick is a big game receiver position.Remember the hype surrounding Pittsburgh QB Kordel Stewart when he was in his? Slash? role of the Steelers? Then you remember that requiring his team with disappointing loss after loss of other teams, once in their division and conference understood as containing it in your pocket and play with her some receivers.Somehow Falcons finished with a record of 11 -- 5 straight and 7-9 ATS during the season last year, closer examination reveals that see Atlanta won six games for a total of 16 points, in other words, more than half of the Falcons 11 regular season victories were by one point the average difference of only 2.6 points per game, which includes defeating the Niners, Cardinals, and Giants by a total point difference of only 9 points and think that these three teams finished 2004 with a record 14-straight 34.Michael Vick is the worst of all statistics playoff QB as his last season from 14 to 12 TD to INT ratio, only a 78.1 QB rating and throwing a single pass total of 2313 meters, to put things in perspective, consider Peyton Manning in 2004 that ended with a ratio of TD to INT of 49 to 10 with total of 4557 meters and passes a rating of 121, 1 QB, Viking QB Duante Culpepper finished the year with a ratio of TD to INT of 39 to 11 A total of 4717 meters and a QB rating of passage 110.9.I won? t bore you with statistics of other Playoff QB 2004? s, but believe me when I say that each of the other playoff QB? s numbers are better than Vick, but to put things in another way, consider that Titan backup QB Billy Volek is the bench in relief from QB Steve McNair last year and ended with a ratio of TD to INT 18 to 10 A total of 2486 meters and a passage QB rating of 87? actually quite said.In Atlanta had a good season for Tampa Bay and Carolina had bad seasons filled with injuries and groped to change in 2005 when one considers that the Panthers have a total of 14 players away from the injury in the first half of 2004, which is the origin of their junk 1-7 straight and 3-5 ATS start, however, the Panthers began to arrive in good health during the second half of 2004 and has rebounded after a 6-2 right and 6 -1-1 ATS record with both losses coming by a field goal.To showcase Michael Vick NFL schedule builder considers appropriate Atlanta appear three times on Monday Night Football in 2005, including the season opening Monday, unless, that is a game But against Philadelphia, in an attempt to make things easy on Vick in prime time each MNF appearance will take place on the Falcons home field.With said, Atlanta? s three opponents on MNF will be Eagles, the Jets and Saints, and each team will have a passing attack that may expose the weakness of the Falcons defensive secondary, for the sake of? value? We bet against Vick and company in each of these three Monday night appearances and I recommend to our same.In 2005 AFC West preview, note that the Oakland Raiders were 9-23 and 9-22-1 ATS right Super Bowl , because their appearance following the 2002 season, the Raiders recalled that the enemy was the Super Bowl? Of course you do, that was none other than the Bucsa Tampa Bay. Like the Raiders these Bucsa also have difficulties in the past two seasons, as evidenced by their 12-20 record and 12-19-1 ATS since 26 January 2003 Super Bowl appearance, historically speaking Tampa Bay? S Two years 12-20 record is the worst of any team in NFL history following a Super Bowl victory.Tampa bays misfortunes were offensive in nature if one considers that the Buc defense held opponents under 300 meters per game average for the fourth year, in 2004, however, for the third time in four years that Tampa? s offense has averaged at least 100 meters to hasten competition and the last four years have finished 30th, 27th, 23rd, and 29th in the championship rushing.Look Tampa Bay? s flow numbers to improve dramatically in 2005 due to the drafting of RB Caelli? Cadillac? Williams, Chris OT fill, and OG Dan Buenning with free agent of the former Jet Anthony Becht TE, which was very useful in terms of Jet RB Curtis Martin to the roar of four 1000-yard seasons, including Martin? S career 1697 yards 2004.New Orleans is an enigma in many ways in which they are now paying the price for half of the road, the group over the past four years with respect to the display on the trademark law, 8-8 , 8-8. 9-7, 7-9 and 2001 which led to another very average draft for a very team.However, the strange thing is that the saints have an HC with a background in defense Jim Haslett still finished 32nd championship last year in total defense, on the flip side of things the Saints are very talented and had the attack succeeded in posting a 4-0 ATS mark in their last four games of the 2004 years since the publication of a record low-quality combined 5-11 in height and 6-10 ATS over their last four matches from 2000 to 2003, see what I mean? The Saints are a paradox.In closing, I expect more people to vote for the Falcons in 2005 and as recommended above, I try to play against Michael Vick and company in each of their three MNF appearances and especially since the book History shows Atlanta ole, who posted a mark of 1-13 ATS in their last 14 Monday Night games.New Orleans opens their regular season with a visit to Carolina and the Saints could take the Panthers on the horizon of two weeks, when the New England is in Charlotte, NC for a rematch of the 2003 Super Bowl, it's always nice to know that according to the history of the dog in Saint / Panther competition a record of 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.With regarding the Panthers and Buccaneers, with the exception of injury, I recommend a bet on them every time they are installed as a doggie get at least a field goal, the only exception to this rule is when Tampa trip to New England, December 17, will play as Bucsa third game of the road and will be divisional sandwich just had to Carolina and a home on Atlanta deck.Jim Campbell is one of the nations most respected Sports Handicappers, specializes in College and Pro Football, you can reach your website to Jim footballforecastor . com for all your needs, including disability free selections, college and NFL statistics, trends and award winning analysis on upcoming games.With over 30 years of experience in the profession of disability, Jim has built a solid reputation, his web based on disability as footballforecastor.com since 1997 and, year after year, proving to be one of the best services of disability in America.
