SATURDAY

San Diego Chargers defeat New England Patriots (This is hard for me to say this because the Patriots are my favorite team but I think the Chargers are going to win the SuperBowl this year.)

New Orleans Saints beat Philadelphia Eagles ( New Orleans offense too much for Philly)


SUNDAY

Chicago Bears win over Seattle Seahawks ( This will be the least interesting game )

Baltimore Ravens stop the Indiannapolis Colts ( Trevor won't be happy if I'm right)

I was 4 for 4 last weekend against Dr. Z in Sports Illustrated. He only got 3 of 4 right.

Here's SI's picks for weekend #2:
Winners: Chargers, Saints, Bears, Colts

Exclusive Interview with Cameron re: Vince Young

This past week Vince Young was voted the clear winner as NFL's Offensive Rookie of Year. However, Cameron heard ESPN analyst Merrill Hodge criticize the voters' choice. Hodge punted Young to 4th place on his list, proclaiming Saints' Reggie Bush the league's premier rookie. We asked Cameron for his thoughts.

Cameron, what contribution did Vince Young make to the Titans that propelled to him to Rookie of the Year honors?
Vince Young went 8-5 as a starter in his rookie season. He took over a weak 0-5 Titans team
and got them 1 win away from making the playoffs. He had a couple of 30+ yard runs for touchdowns. He also outdueled Peyton & Eli Manning when the Titans came from behind to win both games.

Who received your vote for NFL Offense Rookie of the Year?
Reggie Bush because last year the Saints were 3-13. Now the Saints have a 1st-round bye in the playoffs. They have the second best record in the NFC. And don't forget--they are still overcoming Hurrican Katrina. Reggie Bush can line up as a running back, wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner. He has given a huge boost to the Saints. Bush will develop into an All-Pro player in just a few more years.

What do you think of Hodge ranking Vince Young 4th on his ballot?
Crazy. Vince is 2nd on my list. 4th?---No way.
