It occurred to me that much like the National Basketball Association forgot to start their season on time, I forgot to write up a preview/prediction post in time. But, as you may note, I’m not two months late, just a few meaningless days.
I’ve also changed it up a bit, not just previewing what I think [...]
The NFL has bestowed upon us the greatest early Christmas gift that they could possibly think of: A full slate of games on Christmas eve! It wouldn’t have been smart to jam pack a Sunday full of games when everybody is sitting down with their families. At least when the NBA does it, they’re back-to-back-to-back [...]
Week 15 is usually wacky week in the NFL. Underdogs do some strange things, like Indy winning its first game of the season against the supposedly good Titans. The Texans also looked pretty shabby against the lowly Panthers. But I don’t see these trends continuing.
Would the Colts really risk blowing their shot at Andrew Luck, [...]
This week we get our first taste of Saturday Night Football, with everybody’s favourite choke-artists, the Dallas Cowboys visiting the free falling Bucs. Don’t be surprised if/when Tampa Bay keeps things close and, or even has a chance to win, that seems to be Dallas’ M.O.
As a Cowboys fan, I could seriously do without all [...]
Don’t read too much into Maurice Jones-Drew’s huge four touchdown day on Sunday. The same about the Jaguars defence scoring twice. Also, don’t mention that the Jags scored 41 consecutive points. It’s all moot.
That’s because they were playing a team that was on the road, down some key players and clearly quitting voraciously on their [...]
The lines are from bodog and the home teams are in CAPS.
Indianapolis +17 over BALTIMORE
The Ravens have a history of not “getting up” for games like these. It’s also possible that the Colts could back-door cover a big line like this.
Houston +3 over CINCINNATI
This is more a vote for the Texans’ defence than T.J. Yates/Jeff [...]
What were the schedule-makers thinking at the beginning of the season putting Cleveland in prime time? We knew they weren’t going to be good. We knew they weren’t going to be exciting. Why didn’t the NFL and the TV networks realize this?
Pittsburgh has been hot-and-cold lately. They won a blow out in Cincinnati last week, [...]
The lines are from bodog and the home teams are in CAPS.
Tennessee +3 over BUFFALO
Expect a big game from Chris Johnson. He doesn’t have too many of those any more.
CHICAGO -7 over Kansas City
It’s Caleb Hanie vs. Tyler Palko! They’re both terrible but at least the Bears defence is a big threat.
MIAMI -3 over Oakland
It’s [...]
Philadelphia -2.5 over SEATTLE
The Eagles may have been crushed by the Patriots last week, but they were clearly a beaten down squad. With most of the other wild card contenders, including the Giants, faltering last week, there’s still an outside shot that the uber-talented Eagles could make it. But it would [...]
After a day of great football, I have one complaint: Where were the throwback jerseys? The Thanksgiving day games have traditionally given us a chance to watch teams go out there in old-school garb. That wasn’t the case this season as only the Cowboys came out in their blue swank-looking throwbacks. The Ravens played in [...]
