One of my favorite things about the NFL season is betting. I think the same can be said for a lot of football fans world-wide. The advice I offer is strictly optional, never make a bet you don’t feel comfortable with or you will just grow to resent me.

My Parlay Card (TEASER) Week 7:

Packers: -3
Colts: -8
Falcons: +10

And my EASY MONEY PICK OF THE WEEK IS:
Falcons: +4 (hell I even took them to win straight up)

Good luck this week, Win some $$$

So today Kurt Warner signed a two year deal with the Cardinals and with Matt Leinart still under contract for 2 more years and Kerry Collins signed a 2 years deal with the Titans last week, with Vince Young under contract for 2 more years that mean both Leinart and Young are both back ups for the next two seasons unless someone trades for them.

My thing is lets say your a team that needs a new quarterback and you don’t have the first overall pick and can’t draft Stafford and with the rest of the quarterbacks in the draft not being that great, who would you make the move for Matt Leinart or the 2006 rookie of the Year Vince Young?

I’m going with Matt Leinart, I know he hasn’t had very much experience and when he has gotten a chance to play it hasn’t been too impressive but lets be honest Vince Young doesn’t have the smarts to ever be a good quarterback in the NFL, all he can do is run. Yes he does have a better arm than Leinart but lets be honest, I’m probably a more accurate quarterback than Vince Young. If I was the GM of the Tampa Bay Bucs, I’m making a move Matt Leinart tomorrow. He is an intelligent quarterback and has great skill sets, there is a reason he won a Heisman. Matt Leinart is still a quarterback that you can build a team around, someone please save him from the bench in Arizona and let him show what he can do.

According to media reports on Monday, Whosyourmomma and Seattle have agreed to a 5 year, $40 million deal.

What does this mean for fantasy owners? Well in my opinion, NOT GOOD! T.J had over 200 catches in the last 2 seasons with the Bengals, but Seattles top receiver, Bobby Engram, had only 47 catches last year. I know he can’t catch, but still… With no true deep threat in Seattle, it is still to be seen how T.J will fair when he is focused on as the #1 WR. Is Palmer a better QB then Hasselbeck? I think that is up in the air for debate, but the ways the defenses will approach T.J is the real issue.

On another note, WHAT IS CINCINATTI DOING?!  Holy shit, they franchise their kicker, and get rid of their top WR? They now have no running game, and their best WR is a aging Chad Johnson, with not much left in the tank. Good luck this year if you don’t have major plans for free agency…

Then there is Seattle, Whosyourmomma said going to a contending team is VERY important to him, and if you play a franchise in madden, then you know what they say is always true! Even when I win back to back to back rings in madden and hit up the free agency and offer less money to a player who says the most important thing is a good team, they never accept! I guess Madden is true in real life too because Houshmanzadeh definitely did not find himself a contending team in seattle. Let me explain… 4-12 last year, no running game, no o-line, no defense and their top reciever last year sucked. The ONE bright spot, if you can call it that, is Hasselbeck who is not THAT great, even if he “does want the ball and is gonna score.”

Good luck in 2009 T.J, you will need it.
