Michael Vick, Terrell Owens: Tweets, Fines, Some NFL Week 6 Predictions




Terrell Owens and Michael Vick know how to keep their names in the headlines, there's no doubt about that. Even with the Cincinnati Bengals on a bye week, Owens still is in the news for a $5,000 fine for a pregame tweet.
Michael Vick shoots back into the radar as he's been named the Philadelphia Eagles emergency third quarterback for today's game versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Owens has the week off, but the Bengals also made news when defensive end Antwan Odom was suspended for violating the league's PED policy. Owens insisted the positive result was from a weight loss drug prescribed to his wife that was mistakenly ingested instead of his own pills.
The Bengals were going to be without Odom anyway, as he suffered a knee injury that was going to sideline him two to three weeks.
Owens, however, has been having a great 2010 season, with 31 catches for 476 yards and two touchdown grabs. Fantasy Football owners certainly are lamenting his bye week, but the good news is he'll be around the rest of the year.

The Eagles and the Falcons match up well, but Kevin Kolb is out to prove the starting job should be his to lose, not Vick's to take back. Kolb looked very good in San Francisco last week, but this is going to be a much tougher game.
Still, the Eagles probably should pull this one out, 28-24.
As for the Bengals, I can guarantee you the Bengals will not lose a game today.
