Interesting weekend in both NFL and college

One of the interesting games in the NFL this weekend will be San Diego visiting Green Bay. I will be visiting cheese country and will be at this game to check out Lambeau field and Brett Favre and I am psyched about that. Plus, it's a San Diego team that needs the W badly against a Packers team thats a surprising 2-0. I would expect the Chargers to win, but you never know with Favre on the field. The Chargers are 1-1 after playing 2 tough games. I sure hope LT gets untracked since I own him in one of the fantasy leagues and have gotten nothing out of my NO-1 pick. He has had problems against 2 top defenses the last 2 weeks.

The best game in the NFC is Dallas visiting Chicago. Defense V offense at Soldier field. These are the top-notch teams in the JV conference also called the NFC. I am really interested in seeing how Romo and TO handle the Bears D. Cincy at Seattle should also be interesting with both teams at 1-1. There are 2 other match-ups between a couple of 2-0 teams that should be one-sided despite what the records suggest. Niners visit Pittsburgh and Indy visits Houston. I can't see the Steelers or the Colts losing, especially the Colts if Houston receiver Andre Johnson is out.

In college, Texas A&M got handled by Miami today 34-17. That should take care of the 20-Th ranking A&M is enjoying right now. This is especially bad for A&M because their Big-12 rival Oklahoma just dismembered Miami 2 weeks back. This weekend has few other match-ups involving some big name schools with not so much of a big game - Michigan State @ Notre Dame and Penn State @ Michigan. Penn State should take care of Michigan easily and one can just hope Notre Dame scores an offensive TD finally.

The game of the week should be the Ole' ball coach Steve Spurrier taking his Gamecocks to LSU. Tough one for South Carolina because LSU looks awesome, but they have to prove they are worthy of the 12-Th rank even in defeat. SEC also features another great top-25 matchup as 22 Georgia takes on No. 16 Alabama on the road. This could be Nick Saban's breakthrough game of the year.
