Minnesota-Indianapolis
The Vikings have a major QB battle as Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson, two mistake prone signal callers will contend.
Colts head coach Jim Caldwell will be making his debut. Indianapolis LT Tony Ugoh should have a chip on his shoulder. He started 23 games the last two years, but lost his starting job.
Colts stud TE Dallas Clark is out. Their best defensive player Bob Sanders will miss the preseason. Starting RT Ryan Diem is out.
Vikings head coach Ray Childress says he has not made up his mind on player rotations or if all his starters will play. Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy’s GodsTips has the side selection on this game at OffshoreInsiders.com.
Rams-Jets
Two coaches are making their debut: Rex Ryan for the Jets and Steve Spagnuolo for the Rams.
The Jets will be without four starters: five starters LG Alan Faneca, C Nick Mangold, RT Damien Woody, CB Darrelle Revis and NT Kris Jenkins.
The Rams No. 1 WR Donnie Avery is out. He caught 53 passes as a rookie last year. They have very little proven talent at WR. They have nine receivers battling for spots behind Avery. Combined, they caught 43 passes for 524 years last year.
The Rams are also installing the West Coast offense under new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, so the injury to Avery is a major one.
The Jets will start Kellen Clemens at QB, but he will give way to rookie sensation Mark Sanchez as coach Ryan wants both signal callers to work with the first team.
Senior Handicapper Stevie Vincent of OffshoreInsiders.com has said that Sanchez has looked very sharp in training camp and will likely win the job. Two receivers, Jerricho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey have looked extremely impressive in camp for the Jets reports Vincent.
The defense has also dominated in training camp for the J-E-T-S.
Bengals-Saints
The Saints starters will play two series. They have one of the deepest defensive lines in the league under new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Meanwhile the Bengals are down to 11 linemen.
