Tonight begins a stretch in which 55 of the next 61 days will have at least one NFL or college football game on TV. Couple that with postseason baseball and you can see why October has become my favorite month. To keep up with the barrage of sports over the next two months be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook.

On Opening Day the Tampa Bay Rays had the second lowest payroll in Major League Baseball and after losing a number of key players from 2010 they weren't supposed to be a factor in the rugged AL East.

Defending Forte Matt Forte has been responsible for a large chunk of Chicago's offense after two games so it should be a simple defensive game plan: shut down Forte and you shut down the Bears offense.

You all know my disdain for preseason polls. They're based on perception, buzz and what you did the previous year. Thus the polls, the lifeblood of the BCS which of course determines the national title game, are skewed. For example, Georgia, Ohio State and yes even Notre Dame had no business being ranked. I've always felt it takes a few weeks to really get a feel for how each team looks. So here's the first Wisconsin Sports Weekend Top 25 of 2011:

As always, protection Carolina defensive end Charles Johnson racked up 11 1/2 sacks last year and in Week One he and fellow end Greg Hardy each notched a sack. The Panthers know the only way to disrupt the Packers offense is to get to Aaron Rodgers. The emphasis will be on the play of Chad Clifton and Bryan Bulaga.

All week the buzz around the NFL has been about Cam Newton's smashing debut performance against the Arizona Cardinals. Newton was 24-37 for 422 yards and two touchdowns. Even more impressive was how poised Newton appeared. He certainly didn't look like a guy playing in his first NFL game. Don't expect a repeat of those numbers but Newton has the athleticism to cause problems for the Packers so here's a few things to look for on Sunday:

I'm always looking for the hidden trends and stats in the NFL like the first to score trend or the unofficial record that Ricky Proehl holds for catching not one but two fourth quarter game-tying Super Bowl touchdowns.

Finley At His Finest Last we saw of the Saints they were giving up two red zone touchdowns to Seattle tight end John Carlson. Look for the Packers to test the Saints linebackers by getting Jermichael Finley and company on a mismatch. Indeed, the New Orleans secondary will be challenged throughout the night but if Aaron Rodgers gets his choice of targets it could be a big night for the tight end.

The Brewers magic number remains at 11 but on WSW we crunched the numbers every which way and for all intents and purposes the NL Central is almost locked down.

After an NFC East title in 2009 the pieces were in place for the Dallas Cowboys to make a run at Super Bowl XLV. But the pressure proved to be too great. The Cowboys were unable to overcome a pair of tough early season losses then Dallas lost Tony Romo to a season-ending injury. After Romo's injury the season spiraled out of control, leading to the midyear firing of coach Wade Phillips.

The final roster cuts are out and that signals the end of the preseason. As a lifetime member of Generation X I feel compelled to pay homage to a certain 20 year anniversary that just passed, thus I present not quite Ten observations of the preseason:
