For all those fans of the other football - the one where people are allowed to hit each other - rejoice! For the best five months of the year have arrived!

As always, there are several questions that are apparent at the start of the NFL season.

-TO. Will Terrell Owens, exiled from Philadelphia, finally settle down in Dallas? As a Philadelphian I am rooting for him to crash.

-Speaking of Philly, will the Eagles rebound from that awful season they had last year and once again reign as champions of the NFC East?

-Will the Steelers repeat their impressive postseason run last year and win the Super Bowl again, although this time without Jerome Bettis/Antwaan Randle-El?

-Will the Seahawks break the Super Bowl loser jinx and return to the playoffs?

-Will the Patriots return to glory and capture their fourth Super Bowl in six years?

-Can the Colts win it all under Peyton Manning?

-Will Peyton's brother Eli finally break out and lead the Giants to glory?

-Is there any chance that Brett Favre's last year with the Packers will bring any hope of success?

-Will the Texans regret drafting Mario Williams over Reggie Bush?

-And finally, the most pressing question of all: Who will win Super Bowl XLI?

Place your bets, everyone. Sit back, grab the chips and a beer, because it's (American) football season!
