Not Dead Yet: Sony Finally Slashes PS Vita Price

Its about time. The PS Vita is now only $199. The PS Vita hasn't been doing all that well due to high price, lack of games, lack of original games and the stupid memory card thing. The PS Vita will have Remote Play with PS4 and will be able to stream pretty much all PS4 games. The PS Vita could make Wii U irrelevant if it starts to pick up in sales and gets some more interesting games. I'm a lot more interested in the Vita now but I'm still waiting for more original games.

My Super Bowl Prediction

According to my predictions the Seahawks and Broncos will be in the Super Bowl. The Broncos have one of the best offenses I have ever seen and the Seahawks have a nearly impenetrable defense. I don't think anyone will be able to stop Denver this year. Their just too good. Having a future hall of fame QB, WRs Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker just isn't fair. The Seahawks will put up a fight but Denver will prevail.

Broncos 27-17

My NFL Regular Season Predictions (AFC) UPDATED (week 8)

AFC North

1 Bengals 12-4- Andy Dalton is playing really well and the defense is one of the best in the NFL.

2 Ravens 8-8- The Super Bowl champs aren't the same this year. The defense isn't as good and Joe Flacco is playing very average football.

3 Browns 6-10- The Browns have a good defense but the offense is average. I think they will win 6 maybe 7 games this year.

4 Steelers 4-12- Wow what happened here? No running game, no defense Ben Roethlisberger has been average at best.

AFC South

1 Colts 12-4 Andrew Luck is the real deal. Luck has really turned this team around. The Colts are playing good football on offense and defense and I expect them to win the division.

3 Titans 7-9- If Jake Locker can stay healthy and if the defense continues to play well they could sneak into the playoffs. I don't see  them making the playoffs but they have a shot.

4 Jaguars 0-16- The Jaguars have a great shot at going 0-16. They have NOTHING.

AFC East

1 Patriots 11-5- Tom Brady isn't playing as well as he normally does but the Patriots are still a playoff team and always will be as long as he is at QB and Bill Belichick is the head coach.

2 Jets 8-8- The Jets have looked really good some games and terrible in others. That will continue and they will split the rest of their games finishing 8-8.

3 Dolphins 7-9- Ryan Tannehill needs to start playing like the franchise QB he was drafted to be. Its not all his fault though, the defense could be better, running game is average and their WRs haven't played too well.

4 Bills 6-10- E.J Manuel and C.J Spiller can't stay healthy. I don't think thy can win too many games without their studs.

AFC West

1 Broncos 13-3- They have one of the best QBs ever, 3 great WRs, 3 solid RBs and a great defense.

2 Chiefs 13-3 Andy Reid has really turned this team around. At the time of writing they are 8-0 but I think a 5-3 record the rest of the way is realistic. They finish second because either they lose to the Broncos at least once or Denver will have more division wins overall.

3 Chargers 10-6- The Chargers will surprise some people. Philip RIvers will continue to play well and they finish at 10-6.

4 Raiders 7-9- Terrelle Pryor isn't a great passer but can get things done on the ground. They finfish at 7-9 which is pretty good for the Raiders.

Here is what the playoffs would be based on these predictions:

Seed #1 Broncos
Seed #2 Bengals
Seed #3 Colts
Seed #4 Patriots
Seed #5 Chiefs
Seed #6 Chargers

Nintendo Announces 2DS, Slashes Wii U Price

Nintendo has announced a new handheld, the 2DS. The 2DS will play DS and 3DS games however it can't play 3DS games in 3D. The 2DS will launch the same day Pokemon X&Y come out, Oct. 12th. It will cost $129.99. Also the Wii U Deluxe Set will get a 50$ price drop.

The 2DS looks stupid and seems pointless. It's sahped like a tablet. It doesn't have the clam shell design. It looks uncomfortable to hold. It doesn't play games in 3D. I don't see what the point is. Why not just pay a bit more for the regular 3DS? On YouTube it actually has more dislikes than likes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAExBTWIp3M&feature=youtu.be

My NFL Regular Season Prdections (NFC) UPDATED (week 8)


NFC North

1 Packers 11-5- As long as Aaron Rodgers is the QB the Packers will win games.

2 Lions 10-6- Reggie Bush finally gives the Lions a running game and he gives QB Matthew Stafford someone to throw to other than Megatron! Stafford to Calvin Johnson is a lethal combination.

3 Bears 7-9- The Bears could be a good team but Jay Cutler is just an average QB at best. They are weak at the WR position. Matt Forte is a great RB and Chicago's defense is solid.

4 Vikings 2-14- I'm still shocked this team made the playoffs last season. A.P is the lone bright spot for this team.

NFC South

1 Saints 12-4- The Saints have really turned their once crappy defense around. The offense is explosive. Expect the Saints to win the NFC South.

2 Panthers 9-7- Cam Newton is playing pretty good and the defense is solid. I don't think they will make the playoffs but they will have a winning record.

3 Falcons 5-11- The Falcons have suffered too many injuries. Julio Jones, Bradie Ewing and Kroy Biermann are out for the year, Sean Weatherspoon will be out most of the year, Roddy White and Steven Jackson have been hurt. The defense hasn't played well at all.

4 Buccaneers 2-14- Mike Glennon doesn't seem much better than Freeman and RB Doug Martin is hurt.

NFC East

1 Cowboys 9-7- The Cowboys could surprise some people this year. Tony Romo is better than people think he is and he has some great targets to throw to. The Cowboys need to run the football. Tony Romo isn't good enough to win games by himself. Romo needs to step up in important games. They win the division due to lack of competition in the NFC East.

2 Eagles 5-11- The Eagles have a lot of problems. The defense is bad and Vick is never healthy. Chip Kelly can't really run his crazy college style offense without him.

3 Giants 4-12- The Giants don't have much of a running game and they can't stop the run. The offensive line is terrible. Eli Manning is turning the ball over like there is no tomorrow.

4 Redskins 4-12- RG3 is playing terrible and defense is really, really bad.

NFC West

1 Seahawks 13-3- With dual threat QB Russel Wilson a great running game and an impenetrable defense the 'Hawks will be one of the best teams in the NFL.

2 49er's 11-5- 49ers also have a dual threat QB, Collin Kaepernick. Its debatable whether or not he's better than Wilson but he doesn't really have anyone to throw to. The O-line is possibly the best in the NFL. They have a great defense.

3 Cardinals 8-8- Last year the Cardinals started 5-0. Then they lost 11 strait. Now they have a real QB with Carson Palmer. He led the Raiders to have the 8th most passing yards in the NFL last season. That was with a team with no talent. The defense is really good. The Cardinals will surprise some people this year but they still have problems.

4 Rams 3-13- How do you not make the playoffs when your 4-1-1 in your division? The Rams found a way last season. I don't think they will be much better than last year especially with Bradford out for the year.

So based on these projections the playoffs would look like this:

Seed #1 Seahawks
Seed #2 Saints
Seed #3 Packers
Seed #4 Cowboys
Seed #5 49ers
Seed #6 Lions

PS4 Claimed by Sony to be Most Powerful Game Console Ever

The PS4 has been claimed to be the most powerful game console ever. If you compare the specs you will see the PS4 is slightly more powerful than xbox one. Will this make a big difference though? Probably not but only time will tell.

My Top 10 Fantasy RBs for this Season

1 Adrian Peterson- Coming off an ACL tear Peterson had the second most rushing yards for a single season in 2012. Is he superhuman or what? He should be the first RB and the first player taken in standard fantasy leagues. There is a reason he got MVP last season.

2 Doug Martin- Last year rookie RB Doug Martin exploded and had the second most points for fantasy RBs. The Mussel Hamster has it all: speed, power and hands. He will get you some extra points because he catches a lot.

3 Arain Foster- Even though he is getting less touches every year Foster is still a top 3 RB. Ben Tate will get some touches too but Foster should still be on your fantasy team.

4 Marshawn Lynch- Lynch strives in the run heavy Seahawks offense. The past two seasons he's finished second in rushing yards and third in TDs. Beast Mode isn't slowing down this season.

5 C.J Spiller- Spiller might be the most explosive RB in the NFL. This guy is FAST. He isn't ranked higher because Fred Jackson is still lurking around waiting to get those goal line touches.

6 Jamal Charles- Romeo Crennel and staff had no idea what to do with Jamal Charles. Somehow he got 1,509 rushing yards and 5 TDs. This year expect Charles to finish just outside the top 5 in points for fantasy RBs.

7 Ray Rice- Ray Rice may be in for a bit of a down year. Bernard Pierce will be splitting carries with him and he isn't getting any younger. Even still he should be a low end #1 RB for fantasy owners.

8 Alfred Morris- Morris strived in a run heavy Redskins offense. He probably won't put up the same numbers as last year but he is still top 10 RB.

9 Trent Richardson- Richardson is a tough running bell-cow. He runs really hard. A bit too hard. Richardson is injury prone so he isn't ranked higher.

10 Steven Jackson- Jackson has done pretty good in a crappy Rams offense. Imagine what he will be able to do now that he has some help.

My Top 10 Fantasy QBs for this Season

1 Drew Brees- Brees was the top scoring fantasy QB (and overall player) last season. I think he can definitely do it again. Bress is the first QB to have back to back 5,000+ yard seasons. He is going to be throwing a lot with that crappy D (they had the worst total defense ever last season) and Sean Peyton will be back so expect him to be the top scoring fantasy player again.

2 Peyton Manning- The future hall of famer has a great group of WRs to throw to. With Champ Bailey hurt and Von Miller suspended he will be throwing more. Expect Manning to be a top 3 fantasy QB this season.

3 Aaron Rodgers- Rodgers had a "down" year last season with "only" 39 TDs and 4,295 passing yards. Although the O-line is a concern Aaron Rodgers will be no worse than a top 3 QB this season.

4 Matt Ryan- Ryan is just as good as any of the QBs on this list but he won't have to throw as much because the Falcons have a good defense and now they have a running game. Ryan has possibly the best group of receivers with WRs Julio Jones and Roddy White and TE Tony Gonzalez.

5 Collin Kaepernick- Kaepernick only started 7 games last season and put up monstrous numbers. Imagine what he will do this season! He is among the best rushing QBs and should be on your fantasy team.

6 Tom Brady- Aaron Hernandez is in jail, Gronk is hurt and Wes Welker is a Denver Bronco. Tom Brady and the Patriots may be in for a down year. Even still Brady is a top 10 fantasy QB.

7 Cam Newton- I have Newton ranked lower than Kaepernick because he doesn't have anywhere near the talent Kaepernick does around him and Newton was very inconsistent last season. Last season Newton was either monstrous or awful. Inconsistent players are nightmares for fantasy owners. Just ask me I made the mistake of drafting him last year.

8 Matthew Stafford- Stafford set an NFL record for most pass attempts in a season last season. Stafford is a very talented QB and has possibly the best WR in the NFL to throw to, Calvin Johnson. He doesn't really have anyone else to throw to but he does have Reggie Bush now.

9 RG3- RG3 put up crazy numbers last season but he seems to be injury prone. If he could stay healthy he could be a top 5 QB but he is risk to draft because of injury issues.

10 Tony Romo- Romo is a very underrated fantasy QB. The Cowboys throw like crazy and Romo puts up pretty good numbers. He is a great bargain because his ADP on NFL.com leagues is the 80th pick.
