Pierre Garcon, WAS, vs. St. Louis: Garcon was a disappointment last season, which was a side effect of poor quarterback play and ongoing drama within the organization. But the Redskins also signed vaunted deep threat DeSean Jackson in free agency, and his presence limited the amount of attention paid to Garcon, whose catch count (68) and targets (105) dropped dramatically from the NFL leading totals (113/184) he posted in 2013. The dynamic has changed early this season with Jackson sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks and Kirk Cousins bringing some degree of stability to the quarterback position. Garcon might not have another 113 catch campaign in him, but a steady flow of targets has him firmly back in the WR3 mix.
Referee TeamsMost top FBS conferences, such as the SEC, use teams of seven officials for each game. The NFL uses the same number of officials per game. The referee is the purple basketball uniforms “crew chief” or head http://www.kevindurantjerseys.com/shoes/ official, with the other six team members responsible for custom youth football jerseys specific areas of the field. The referee usually earns the highest compensation as the leader of the team of officials. Because the kevin durant basketball shoes SEC is one rams jersey of the two or three highest “profile” football conferences, many of its “minor” officials earn more than referees in smaller, lower revenue conferences. Although people often call all officials “referees,” there is really only one referee for each team of officials in high school, the NFL and college football.
Matthew Stafford, DET, vs. Arizona: Stafford was red hot to open the 2016 season, but fizzled out football records in the second half to finish as a mid range QB2. The ninth year quarterback has gotten a handle on a once developing turnover problem to churn out consistent numbers over the past three seasons, most of which fall in the low end QB1 or QB2 range. With a new contract and roughly the same support around him, the lone exception being a healthy Ameer Abdullah, Stafford shouldn’t be expected to change his stripes much in 2017. Any bid for a repeat of his hot start could also be compromised facing an athletic, rangy Cardinals defense that can lock down in coverage and pressure the quarterback. Stafford and the Lions have the luxury mens sports jerseys of playing at home, but that Arizona D could be even faster on the turf.
I can’t believe the reaction the odds are ridiculous for this game, with New England favourites to win by less than a touchdown. It won’t be anywhere near that close; Patriots to win by double digits. Defensively, they well exceeded expectations, sacking Eli Manning four times, winning the turnover battle and limiting New York to just three points. The next test is to see if they can repeat that performance at altitude against the Broncos.
