Worst team in the NFL 2008
We are only a few weeks away from the exciting Super Bowl, and we seem to be recapping on what was this current NFL season: who should play during the Super Bowl on February 1st? Who was the best NFL player of the season? Who was the worst team? For this one there no reason on waiting for the NFL season to be over:
Readers have been clear on their thoughts on which of the NFL teams had the worst game and this article is about who the readers believe was the worst NFL team during this football season.
The first runner up is sadly, the team with the best NFL cheerleaders: the very well known Dallas Cowboys, I wonder if maybe they get distracted with the hotties or something. Fans blame it on the coaches, even though Wade Philips is a great defensive coach the rest of the staff is definitely not doing its job.
Second runner up: The Kansas City Chiefs, I have to admit I was a little bit surprised with this one, until I thought it out deeply: In the NFL there is no room for mediocre people and it seems that this team is completely unmotivated; this was definitely not a good NFL season for the Chiefs at all.
Now, the team our readers have decided is the worst NFL team of the current football season is by far the Detroit Lions: They did not win a single game during the 2008 football season; week after week they delivered a poor game turning into a NFL record break where 0-16 loss, which has never happened before: Go Lions!!!
If you have anything to add, please be my guest and comment along…NFL season is almost over and now is the time to hear what fans have to say. My guess, no Detroit Lions fans will show up…

It’s amazing how important a single player can be for an NFL Football franchise, specifically the quarterback. Let’s take Tom Brady as the best example.
The Patriots are trusting on an inexperienced QB on Matt Cassel to finish the NFL season since Brady got injured in the first minutes of New England’s opener against the Chiefs.
Cassel hasn’t done that bad though, but is he able to lead the Pats to a good record? That is to be seen…
Tom Brady just underwent knee surgery and the question here is: Is he going to be the same quarterback after being absent during a whole pro football season? Or will he become just another from the bunch?
Certainly Matt Cassel is not the new Tom Brady but he did start this NFL 2008 season in the same position than Brady back in 2001 when he replaced Drew Bledsoe as the starting quarterback for the Patriots due to a football injury Bledsoe suffered.
If Cassel can raise his level to something similar of Brady’s, then the Patriots have a good chance of repeating at the Superbowl.

To continue feeding the NFL fever I wanted to share with all of you NFL fans an interesting facts that shows the power, strength and spirit of true American Football. Let’s start by remembering that since 1970, the Super Bowl has served as the NFL championship game, prior to that merge, the National Football League Champion was determined by a team’s win-loss percentage, with ties omitted.
Since1934 the winning team for the NFL championship received the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy, named like that in honor to a noted referee, rules expert, sporting goods dealer. The trophy was passed along from champion to champion each NFL season and each year the championship team’s name used to be inscribed on it along with a replica trophy for them to keep, however the original NFL championship trophy is now missing.
Among the most impressive NFL records of these championships:
· The Cleveland Browns’ Edwin “big play” Berry was the MVP for six straight appearances in the NFL championship game.
· The Green Bay Packers were the team with most NFL championships (12 in total) and won 3 straight championship games.
· In the 37 NFL Championship the teams from the Western Division / National / Western Conference won 25 of the games to the Eastern Division / American / Eastern Conference teams total of 12.
Regarding attendance to the NFL championship games, there are two very impressive dates:
- Largest – 85,693 in 1955 at Los Angeles.
- Smallest – 13,341 in 1941 at Chicago.
With all these fun facts, we would like to continue enjoying this year’s Super Bowl, NFL history is definitely being made while you are here reading this small article.

All through out August most NFL teams were congregating to conduct the normal NFL training camps, although some teams do have Off Season Training sessions, most of the teams start theirs a few week before the NFL season starts. This is also a common practice among MLB teams. The off season sessions are held during the months of April, May, and June; also, new players to the NFL from mid-June to mid-July attend seminars and lectures by the NFL, all of these activities help new players and coaches to acclimate themselves to new teammates, and regular NFL players get a chance to practice and improve their game.
Off season trainings however, have been discussed since there have been complications in the past; NFL Training camps starting in late-July have proved to be dangerous since they are conducted in the middle of the summer and have caused several cases of dehydration. For example, in 2001, Minnesota Vikings player Korey Stringer died from medical condition based from dehydration and heatstroke, this situation prompted the NFL to change their training policies. The hot temperatures of the summer not only affect practices and performance but also NFL exhibition games.
It is known that heat-related illnesses are caused when an individual is subjected to extreme temperatures and humidity, and is unable to cool down. The NFL organization has been giving advice to coaches to prevent health issues among players such as allow 10-14 days for adjusting to warmer climate/temperatures, schedule practice during cooler times of day and schedule and enforce frequent drink breaks and rest periods during training camps. The NFL has also requested coaches to monitor high risk players: those with a prior history of heat illness, overweight or obese players, those with a medical history of gastrointestinal, diabetic, kidney, or heart problems; they have also recommended these NFL players wear net-type jerseys, avoid sweatshirts and remove helmets unless they are playing.
As we know, this NFL season all recommendations were followed and no further issues come up before the games. The 2008 NFL Season is the 89th season of the National Football League and the respective Super Bowl is expected to be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on February 1, 2009.

I’ve been wagering on NFL football for quite a while, and I have to say that betting on NFL futures is one of the things that I enjoy the most.
This is because you get to bet NFL football with a clear vision of what you think is coming ahead, and it doesn’t matter what happens near the date of the NFL football event on which you placed your bet on, the odds are fixed and won’t change, so let’s say that you are betting one of the weakest teams of the NFL to win the NFL championship, and since the payout is higher when you bet an underdog, if that team gets to win, you will surely collect more money for less investment.
Plus you can gather with friends and make predictions, and I’m sure everybody will have their own insights of what the coming NFL football season will be, so you can get more good opinions before laying any cash.
It’s just like at the beginning of the past NFL football season; a friend of mine placed a bet for the Giants to win the Super Bowl, and the NFL odds were not good, but he’s a big NY fan, so he was truly satisfied with the money he made when the Giants beat the Patriots at the past NFL Super Bowl.
Try some futures out; you’ll have a lot of fun during regular football season hoping for your predictions to come true!

Chargers for NFL champions!
I want to be ready for this coming NFL football season, so I am filling my diferent sportsbook NFL betting accounts in order to start making some future wagers.
If you ask me, I will say that San Diego has a great deal of chances to make it to the playoffs and why not… to the Super Bowl. On the other hand, if Brett Favre joins the Vikings, this is going to become one of the toughest teams in the league, and one to pay attention to.
I don’t see the Patriots coming with a perfect NFL Season this time around; in fact, I think they will have a hard time dealing with the renewed Dolphins to win the AFC East.
I heard some unbelievable stories about the Saints going to the Super Bowl… but I guess there were just a bunch of New Orleans fans who haven’t lost the faith and are expecting for a miracle to take place… well they are the Saints after all, some prayers have never hurt anybody…
Another team that is quite strong for the coming NFL football season are the Jaguars, but they have the Colts and Peyton Manning on their way in order to win the AFC south, so I will say that this is probably one of the top-3 toughest divisions in the league right now…
I think I will start with a future betting line for the champion of the AFC, and that sit is reserved for the Chargers this time…

NFL moves during the off season
There have been quite a few changes for the NFL during the past off season. Some players have accepted deals with different NFL teams and this will definitely set a difference on the upcoming NFL season. These are some of the changes we will be enjoying this coming season:
- Jeremy Shockey, former New York Giants tight has moved to the New Orleans Saints. Shockey has earned four Pro Bowl selections in his career and received a Super Bowl ring with the Giants in the NFL Super Bowl XLII.
- Originally drafted by the Miami Dolphins during the 1997 NFL Draft, Jason Taylor will be playing for the Redskins this season. Taylor was honored by CBS Sports’ James Brown with a JB Award, given annually to NFL players who have demonstrated a commitment to building better communities and stronger families.
- Adam “Pacman” Jones will continue to make NFL history playing with the Dallas Cowboys.

- After four successful years with the Chicago Bears, wide receiver Bernard Berrian will continue his NFL career playing with the Minnesota Vikings.
- Veteran player Warrick Dunn will now leave his running back position with the Falcons to move back to his first NFL team: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played his first three seasons.
- Receiver Javon Walker has left the Denver Broncos line up to continue on the NFL playing with the Oakland Raiders. Walker has also played for another awesome NFL team: Green Bay Packers.
There has been a few more changes on the NFL line ups, and most of the will start practicing this coming weeks to perform for their new teams. Make sure you keep track of all these changes in your NFL picks before the season starts in a few weeks.

There is no question about what Conference is the best of the NFL football league, the AFC or the NFC… I guess you know the answer…
The AFC has a strong team and contender for the NFL championship on each Division, starting with the East, which has the Patriots, the North with the Steelers, the South with the Colts, and last but not least, the West with the Chargers.
And from these teams, who has it easier on their own Division? I will have to say the Chargers. They play against other 3 teams that have no chances of doing good this coming NFL football season, while the toughest has to be the South, with the Colts dealing with the Jaguars, an NFL football team that had a great season last year, and the Titans, who are expected to win at least 9 NFL football games.
And from the four, who’s going to win the AFC title this time? Hmmm you might say the Patriots, but I think the real run will be between the Chargers and the Colts, with San Diego possibly going to the Super Bowl. But anything can happen, maybe an underdog will step up and have a great year, who knows…
