Expert Football Picks For The New Season
With the lockout which has shut down the National Football League for four months comes to an end in the next few weeks, now would be a prudent time for some expert football picks for the 2011 season. Here are some interesting storylines fans can look forward too as opening day approaches.
In Chicago, the Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is coming off of a serious knee injury which occurred in the team’s loss in the NFC championship game to the eventual Super Bowl winners, the Green Bay Packers. Cutler cannot seem to shake the loser label that has defined him since beginning in the league, and this upcoming season will be no different. Cutler is prone to turnovers and never quite comes up big in important games.
The Detroit Lions are a team that looks poised to take the next step and earn a spot in the post season. After a decade of mismanagement and losing, the Lions have drafted exceptionally well in the last three years and now have a young team looking for playoff success which has evaded the franchise since the days of Barry Sanders.
In New York, the Giants will try to rebound for a collapse at the end of last season. “Big Blue” will find this incredibly difficult, as they will lose one of their star running backs, and Eli Manning will be forced to take on added leadership responsibilities.
The quarterback controversy which defined the Eagles last season will be settled by the time September rolls around. Philadelphia rewarded Michael Vick with a contract extension, which means Kevin Kolb is likely on his way out.
These are a few themes to look forward to as September draws near. With a new collective bargaining agreement in place by then, the NFL should have no shortage of varying predictions from sports commentators.
