Underdog: Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns were excited to see what rookie RB Montario Hardesty can do on the field. However, Hardesty recently suffered from a torn ligament, an injury he acquired during his debut NFL game. The injury was quite serious as Hardesty will be out of the game for the rest of 2010. This recent injury has definitely been a “cruel twist” to the football player’s career, especially since his past performances were slowed down by several knee injuries.

According to Cleveland Browns Coach Eric Mangini, they were definitely disappointed with Hardesty’s recent injury, but this does open up opportunities for other players who want to prove themselves. As the underdog for the upcoming Sept. 12 game, this recent injury is definitely a blow for the team’s morale.

Favorite: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have definitely proven themselves as a tough competitor. According to their recent performance during the NFL preseason games, the Buccaneers’ Rudy Carpenter was able to make a couple of touchdowns. This led to the team’s preseason finale victory. Carpenter was able to complete 15 passes out of 22 for 203 yards, and the Bucs was able to get a 3-0 lead for their opening drive.

Aside from Rudy Carpenter, the team’s Corey Lynch was also able to show what he’s made of during a recent game versus the Houston Texans (24-17). Lynch’s interceptions were the perfect match for Carpenter’s amazing arm as he made a couple of touchdowns that gave the team a strong headstart for the regular NFL season.

Expect a heated matchup between the Browns and the Bucs

As the Sept. 12 match between the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers approaches, fans and sports bettors can expect a heated up game especially since the Cleveland Browns are now more hungry to prove themselves during the regular NFL season. Despite the recent injury of Browns’ Hardesty, this setback could serve as a motivation for the Browns to double up their efforts in the upcoming games. Even though Hardesty will be out for the remainder of the year, the Browns have other arsenal that they could use against the Bucs.

As for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they will also be more motivated to protect their spot as a result of their recent win. Let’s just hope that the Buccaneers won’t be too distracted by their recent victory, and that the team won’t suffer from any serious injury, as any incident like this can be a drawback that can cost the team a lot.

Bradford is the new QB for the St. Louis Rams

Steve Spagnuolo, the coach of the St. Louis Rams, has recently announced that the team’s new quarterback will be Sam Bradford. According to Spagnuolo, Bradford has definitely earned his new title in the team. The whole team and staff are confident with Spagnuolo’s decision, especially since Bradford was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2008, when he was still at Oklahoma. At that time, he landed a 6-year $78 million-contract. He then played very well against tough opponents such as Baltimore and New England. Another reason why sports bettors going for the St. Louis Rams should get their hopes up is the fact that his recent performance sealed the deal. In a recent game against Baltimore, the opening drive of Bradford definitely set the tone for the team’s 27-21 victory.

One reason why St. Louis Rams is considered the underdog in this match is that the Arizona Cardinals were able to earn consecutive NFC West titles. However, with Sam Bradford as the Rams’ new quarterback, fans and sports bettors should definitely watch out for any surprising performance or turn of events.

Arizona Cardinals hires Anderson as the new QB

If the St. Louis Rams have a new QB, then the Arizona Cardinals have also hired a new quarterback as a replacement for Matt Leinart. When Leinart landed at the Cardinals, Dennis Green, the Cardinals’ then coach, called it a “gift from heaven.” However, Leinard wasn’t able to show off what he’s got because when he injured his collarbone, he was replaced by Derek Anderson. Throughout the games, Anderson was used more and more as QB instead of Leinart. Despite issues Leinart had encountered with the decision, the Cardinals definitely rallied around Anderson. This goes to show that the team has enough confidence in Anderson as the team’s new quarterback.

Both Bradford and Anderson are also motivated to prove themselves worthy of the confidence given to them by their own teams, so the September 12 season opener game will definitely be an exciting match.
