Before the NFL regular season got underway a few weeks ago, one of the teams in the NFC Conference that were getting a lot of attention for potentially being on the verge of a breakout season was the Detroit Lions.

As of right now, the point spread is even, but that will almost certainly change when the playing status of Tony Romo is announced later in the week. Another player that might affect the point spread is the playing status of wide receiver Dez Bryant.

In Week 3, the first NFC South battle gets underway with Matt Ryan’s Atlanta Falcons heading east to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game will be key for both of these teams…

It looked like Foster was back to form and ready to get his season off to a good start at the mercy of the Dolphins, the Pro Bowler only carried the football 10 times for 33 yards before his hamstring started to tighten up again and send him to the sidelines.

It will be interesting to see how well Arian Foster plays this weekend as this hamstring injury could be something that flares up quite a bit this season.

Even though Ochocinco didn’t play a big role in the Patriots win over the Dolphins in Week 1, the outspoken wide receiver had only good things to say about his team.

The Atlanta Falcons could have an even tougher challenge ahead of them with superstar quarterback Michael Vick coming back to the Georgia Dome to take on his former team for the first time as a starting quarterback for another team.

The New England Patriots will try to get back on track as one of the best in the league, but they will have their work cut out for them in the AFC East division.
