PHILADELPHIA -- Once again it is time for me to get out my crystal ball and see if I can prognosticate the upcoming NFL season. As all of my friends can attest to I have never been totally right or wrong and I have never gotten the Super Bowl match-up or champion completely right.


But maybe this is my year to be the envy of my doubters, however you know will have to eat some crow later in the year from this article.


It is all in good fun, so with the season ready to kickoff on Thursday with the defending Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts taking on the New Orleans Saints, Let the games begin !!
