LIVE FROM LONDON!! On Wednesday I went to the NFL UK headquarters in London and met three American football TV and radio presenters, Mike Carlson, Nick Halling and Neil Reynolds (they are in the picture with me). I also met the Managing Director for the NFL UK Alistair Kirkwood. I had a FANTASTIC day and did LOADS of stuff, so much that I can't get it all in one article. So to start with I'll just tell you what I asked them as a NFL Kid Reporter... I asked them 'Indianapolis or Jets?' All three presenters went for the Colts. Their predictions were all pretty much the same at around 21-10. The first thing I did when I got to London was watch the presenters film a 20 minute video update for the NFL UK website called Inside The Huddle. In it they said that the Jets have "no chance" and that Manning is quite capable of putting up 21 or 28 points and that New York is not going to be able to score enough points to keep up. In the NFC things are a little trickier though, I asked them 'Drew Brees or Brett Favre?' Mike Carlson went for the New Orleans Saints (32 -27), Neil Reynolds went for the Saints too (30 -21), but Nick Halling went for Minnesota (28 - 17). On Inside The Huddle they said "this has the potential to be a real classic" game, Adrian Peterson hasn't had a 100 yard rushing game in two months but he's due one and New Orleans are not good against the run. On the other hand what about Reggie Bush last week! New Orleans also has home field advantage plus Drew Brees. Next time I write, I'll tell you what their Super Bowl predictions are, who picked the right teams, who plays Madden Football, and what team Alistair Kirkwood supports! See you next time.
