    Awww....isn't that sweet to be noticed for this upcoming Sunday!

    1. Houston Texans at New Orleans Saints: Dom Capers proved one thing with his opening victory over the Dolphins. You don't want to play a Capers team in an opener. Capers is not only the established master of making expansion teams good, but he's the undisputed leader in winning openers. Give him an offseason and a training camp, and he will bring a focused unit to the field and win the opener. He did it last year against the Cowboys. But winning in Week 2 won't be as easy. The Saints are angry following their disappointing loss to the Seahawks. Wide receiver Donte' Stallworth dropped five balls. The offense wasn't in sync. The defense fell apart for a little piece of the second quarter, and the team didn't recover. Coach Jim Haslett will rally the troops and try to win his home opener, but the Texans are a tough, physical team with an improving franchise quarterback in David Carr, who gets rid of the ball quickly.
