Talk about a tough game to pick. On one hand you have the undefeated Colts, going into Jacksonville to play a team that they normally have no problem beating — they’ve won seven of their past nine contests. On the other hand, there’s no way to tell how much Indy cares about keeping their perfect [...]
It’s the end of an era for the Toronto Blue Jays. No longer can the team boast a perennial award candidate or a player who would be taken in the first two rounds of your fantasy draft. Yes, Roy Halladay is gone. It may not be 100% certain yet, but the mere fact that the [...]
It was the same old, same old with the Colts and Saints yesterday: Both were threatened, but neither gave into their opponents. It seems that the same thing is happening every week and these truly great teams just keep on stomping out comeback attempts and pulling out victories. New Orleans’ and Indianapolis’ perfect 13-0 records [...]
So, maybe I should have figured into last night’s pick that no team ever looks good enough in subzero temperatures on a short rest, especially teams that have lost at least four games in a row.
The lines are straight from Vegas and the home teams are in CAPS.
INDIANAPOLIS -7 over Denver
The question with the Colts [...]
I have no idea why the Cleveland Browns got two night games, even if one is a Thursday nighter, but this team does not deserve to be in prime time. Shouldn’t the NFL be trying to promote their best teams and players? There is nothing good about the Browns and they don’t even have a [...]
It looks like Philadelphia may have The Answer to get their season out of the gutter: Allen Iverson. The 76ers’ prodigal son returned last night after being traded three years ago when his relationship with the team soured. Now, it’s looking like the Sixers are Iverson’s last chance – and not at glory, but at [...]
Just when you thought that Brett Favre was capable of being a game managing, competent signal caller, leading a team full of weapons that could assist him, he simply threw a game away. The Cardinals gave him too much pressure and the 40-year-old couldn’t hang tough and deliver. On the defensive side of the ball, [...]
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited over the drawing of random ping-pong balls as I was yesterday afternoon. With teams being drawn into groups for next summer’s World Cup, how could you not be excited? It really marked the kickoff to the excitement of the biggest tournament in all of sports — a [...]
The stretch run is upon us and that means it’s time to grab onto your perceptions of teams and how they’ll fare as the pressure mounts and the temperature drops. The best thing you can do is look at the bubble teams, decide if they have a shot and stick to that choice. It’s never [...]
New York Jets -3 over BUFFALO
Don’t let the CAPS deceive you, the Bills are the home team by name only. This game goes tonight in the cozy confines of the Rogers Centre in Toronto, so don’t expect a rowdy crowd like you’d usually get for the Bills at home.
Still, since Ryan Fitzpatrick has taken over [...]
