The Patriots' much-maligned defensive unit has a tough task in Week 1: Try to stop the wideout tandem of Terrell Owens (left) and Chad Ochocinco (right).

So here we are, ready to kick off another NFL season. Couldn’t be more excited.

Throughout the season, I’ll provide my thoughts on the NFL as well as offer my sure-fire predictions. If you think you’ve got a pretty good grasp on the NFL and would like to be rewarded for your forecasting prowess, head over to iBerkshires.com contest pages: Contest Challenge and Beat the Pro.
