NFL season proved exciting; What’s next?

Dominick Wise
What another exciting football season we encountered! You have to love the word parity. Just about every team was in contention for the playoffs, just like last season. No one expected the Bengals, Panthers, Seahawks, Cowboys, or Chiefs to make a run at divisional titles, much less the playoffs.

Look for Raiders upset, Vikings victory in week six

Dominick Wise
Need I say more, the Vikings are 5-0. If Randy Moss can continue to put up career high numbers, the Vikings can easily be 6-0 after this game. There are a few questions surrounding the Vikings.
