It's time...

The first full day of NFL action kicks off today and it's going to be amazing. We have some great matchups. The best game seems to be Chicago at San Diego. It's a matchup of last year's Super Bowl runner up and arguably the most talented team in the NFL. It should be fun to watch. Now, let's take a look at some storylines for 2007.

Top 5 Storylines to Follow in 2007:

1. The Atlanta Falcons- It will definitely be interesting to see how the loss of Vick will affect the Falcons. They will definitely not lead the league in rushing this season since Vick accounted for 1,039 of their 2,939 yards. Will Joey Harrington be able to lead this team? Sorry Petrino.
2. LT's Touchdown Production- LaDainian Tomlinson is coming off a year in which he was absolutely dominant. He set the single season touchdown record in 2006 with 31 trips to paydirt. It will be a great to watch him again in 2007.
3. Impact Rookies- Which rookie will make the biggest impact in 2007? Will it be Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Anthony Gonzalez? Or will it be a no-name from from the later rounds like Marques Colston in 2006?
4. Any Sophomore Slumps?- Who will suffer from the dreaded sophomore slump? Leinart? Vince Young? Reggie Bush? We will see.
5. Who will win the NFC West?- This should be by far the mediocre and competitive division in the league. I have Seattle winning it at 9-7. I just don't think the other teams (Arizona, St. Louis and San Francisco) have what it takes to be a playoff team yet.
