After a disappointing loss to the Baltimore Ravens, former Eagles quarterback, now Arizona Cardinal, Kevin Kolb looks to be unlikely to play in this weeks game against the St. Louis Rams, who are coming off of their first win of the season.  The Ravens defense absolutely pummeled Kolb all afternoon last week, so a week with a headset might do Kolb some good. More here.

This Saturday, #1 LSU travels to Tuscaloosa to play #2 Alabama.  This is certainly the biggest game of the season, and the only match up of 1 and 2 until the National Championship game.  Interesting stat: Under Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide are 3-2 coming out of a bye week, both of those losses coming at the hands of? You guessed it. LSU. Both times, the Tigers were also coming off of a bye.  Prediction: LSU: 24 Bama: 20
