Alabama’s defense was the story as they knocked out Texas quarterback Colt McCoy in the first quarter, scored a defensive touchdown right before the half, and forced a fumble late in the game to seal their victory.

Nick Saban became the first coach to win national titles with two different schools, his first BCS title coming in 2003 with LSU.  Mark Ingram became only the second player to win the Heisman Trophy and a BCS title in the same season, following in the footsteps of USC’s Matt Leinart.

Congratulations to Saban, Ingram, and the entire Crimson Tide team for a fantastic season.

Crimson Tide fans:  make sure you display your team pride with Alabama Crimson Tide merchandise, Alabama Crimson Tide bedding, Alabama Crimson Tide watches, and Alabama Crimson Tide jewelry.

The Packers are going for a fourth straight victory and are counting on the defense to continue its outstanding play.  Green Bay’s defense has only allowed an NFL-low 281.5 yards per game this season.

The Ravens’ defense has also been strong, allowing an average of 11.6 points scored by their opponents in the month of November.  Baltimore will surely be looking to defensive star Ray Lewis and rising offensive star Ray Rice to lead the team to victory.

Spencer (10-3), David (7-6), and I (11-2) are in agreement this week, saying this will be a close one but the Packers will come out with the win. Chase (8-5) is picking the Ravens for the victory.  Take our poll and tell us who you think will win.

Finish up your Christmas shopping with some Green Bay Packers merchandise and Baltimore Ravens merchandise for the sports fans on your list.  Green Bay Packers watches and Green Bay Packers jewelry also make great gifts.  You can choose Baltimore Ravens watches and Baltimore Ravens jewelry to put under the tree too.

The Saints are playing spectacular football and averaging 36.9 points in their 10 wins.  Their offense, led by quarterback Drew Brees, has seen twelve different players scoring touchdowns this season.  Tonight may be their toughest match-up yet.

The Patriots are still stinging from the recent loss to the Colts, the NFLs only other undefeated team, after squandering a fourth quarter 17 point lead.  They’ll be looking to redeem themselves tonight, and we’re sure to see lots of activity between Tom Brady and his favorite receiver Wes Welker.

As Louisiana natives, it should come as no surprise that Spencer (9-3), Chase (7-5), David (6-6), and I (10-2) are predicting the Saints stay undefeated.  Who do you think will win?  Take our poll and let us know.

The Texans at 5-4 are playing hard to earn their first playoff appearance in franchise history.  Quarterback Matt Schaub currently ranks 3rd behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in passing yards.  His outstanding play along with an improved defense are the keys to helping Houston achieve that playoff spot.

The Titans have won their last three in a row since replacing Kerry Collins with Vince Young at quarterback after a surprising 0-6 start.  Chris Johnson, the NFL’s leading rusher, scored three touchdowns in the Titans last game against Houston, so you can bet all eyes will be on him in this MNF game.

We’re all betting this will be a close game with the Texans coming out the victors in the end.  Who do you think will win Monday Night Football this week?  Take the quick poll and tell us!

The Ravens started the season strong with 3 wins but currently stand at 4-4.  They did have a great win against then-unbeaten Denver on November 1 with a score of 30-7.  They also soundly defeated the Browns earlier this season by a score of 34-3, so all signs point to an easy win in Monday Night Football.

The Browns are coming off their bye week with a dismal 1-7 record.  The big news for this game is that Brady Quinn will once again be the starting quarterback, winning his job back from Derek Anderson.  He’ll be heading up an offense that currently ranks 30th in scoring, so he has his work cut out for him.

Spencer (8-2), Chase (6-4), David (5-5), and I (9-1) wish Brady Quinn the best but still think the Ravens will get an easy victory.  What do you think?  Take our quick poll and pick your winner.

Die-hard fans support their teams regardless of records, so stock up on you Baltimore Ravens merchandise and Cleveland Browns merchandise in time for Christmas.  Great gifts can be found among our Baltimore Ravens watches, Baltimore Ravens jewelry, Cleveland Browns watches, and Cleveland Browns jewelry as well.

Warner bounced back after having a horrible previous week that included 5 interceptions. This week he had 5 touchdown passes with no turnovers and 261 passing yards. This gave the Cardinals a 41 – 21 win over the Bears, bringing their record to 5 – 3. These great numbers put Kurt Warner at the top of the fantasy football points list for week 9.

Warner has had some great games this year and is doing his best to get the Cardinals back to the Super Bowl.

After a slow 1-2 start, Pittsburgh has come on strong with four straight wins.  Ben Roethlisberger currently ranks 3rd in passing yards, and the Steelers defense leads the NFL in defending the run.

The Broncos had a tremendous start to their season at 6-0, but their win streak ended last week at the hands of the Ravens in a lopsided 30-7 loss.   They haven’t lost to the Steelers in a regular season game in Denver since October of 1990 and have won 9 of the last 12 meetings against the defending Super Bowl Champs.

Chase (6-3) and David (5-4) are calling it a Broncos victory, while Spencer (7-2) and I (8-1) are going with the Steelers.  Who do you think will win tonight’s game?  Take our quick poll and let us know.
