With the Eagles first game taking place Sunday, here’s the forecast for how the 2011 season is shaping up.
As much money as is lost betting football games around the country, you would think football is unpredictable. It isn’t. You know more about what is going to happen in the coming football season than you think you do. Doubt me? Read on.
1. The winner of college football’s national championship game will have its title vacated the following year because of NCAA violations.
2. It will be revealed that the winner of the 2011 Heisman Trophy will have made more money playing collegiate football than Winston Justice playing for the Eagles.
3. After Penn State beats Temple for the 1,000th straight time, someone in Navy and White will holler “We are Penn State.” I, in turn, will shout “F-you.”
5. Notre Dame will be picked in preseason polls to finish in the top-20. Notre Dame will finish 6-6.
6. There will be 10 new bowl games designated by the NCAA, one of which will bear the name of a local exterminator.
7. Boise State will go undefeated and not receive one first-place vote.
8. There will be a controversy over which team should be ranked No. 1 at the end of the season.
9. The NCAA will reject going to a playoff system.
10. At the end of the 2011 season, every major college football team will switch conferences.
1. The Eagles will lose six games, all of which will involve Andy Reid mismanaging the clock in the final two minutes, Reid losing a challenge, the offensive line failing to protect Michael Vick, Vick getting injured (he’ll miss two weeks), and the inability to run the ball one-yard into the end zone.
2. Ray Didinger will suggest that Reid run the ball more after a loss where Vick throws the ball 50 times.
3. Angelo Cataldi will call for the firing of Reid after every loss.
4. Mike Missanelli will take an innocuous quote from Donovan McNabb and turn it into a week of sports talk.
5. DeSean Jackson will not catch a pass in the season opener and fans will question whether his lack of a contract is affecting his play.
6. Jackson will catch a 72-yard touchdown in the second game of the season and return a punt 89 yards. He will get hurt in the third game of the season and fans will question whether he is durable enough to sign to a long-term deal.
7. The Eagles will sign Jackson to a long-term deal during the bye week.
