We are now two months away from opening day, NFL 2007!

The first game of the new season will be a Thursday night shoot-out between the New Orleans Saints visiting the Indianapolis Colts. The world champion Colts are going to have to show they are still the team to beat as they face off against a young and cocky Saints team that came one game away from the SuperBowl. The Saints lost senior citizen Joe Horn while the Colts are missing drug-addict Dominic Rhodes.

A notable match-up for week 1 is Detroit at Oakland. Two sucky teams, facing each other in Week 1. Its notable not because of what the two teams can do, its what they can't do. I am predicting the league's first ever opening day TIE. You heard right.

The final score of the Detroit Lions at Oakland Raiders after 4 quarters and Overtime will be Lions 0 - Raiders 0.
