While our friends south of the border get to chow down on some delicious deep-fried turkey and stuffing, most of us Canadians are stuck working. Well, except for me because it’s my usual day off. Don’t consider me too lucky though, getting to stay home, watch 10 hours of quality football and having a couple [...]
For the first time this season, the Indianapolis Colts have absolutely no chance at losing this week. Of course, they have zero chance at winning either because they’re on a bye. That insures that their two-game lead in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes will stay intact. I can just picture the Colts [...]
DENVER +5.5 over NY Jets
The Jets have to fly across the country and play on three days of rest after playing a Sunday night game. They also have a very truncated period of time to try to analyze Denver’s funky new running game that seems like something out of the 1940s. Plus, they just got [...]
The lines are from 5Dimes and the home teams are in CAPS.
Pittsburgh -3 over CINCINNATI
The Steelers will be fired up after that late loss to Baltimore on Sunday night. This is the Bengals first huge test too.
Denver +3 over KANSAS CITY
The Chiefs aren’t as bad as they played last week against Miami, but this Bronco [...]
Everybody loves NFL football. It’s a proven fact. Look at how many people cared about the NFL lockout when they weren’t even missing games this summer compared to how few people actually care about the NBA and their silly negotiations to save its season right now.
But with the NFL beginning its slate of Thursday night [...]
According to Profootball talk, word around the league is that the Titans are considering releasing Chris Johnson after the season. He has played terribly since signing his new deal, but that seems a bit harsh.
His contract does have something like $30-million guaranteed, so why let the guy walk away with that huge amount of money [...]
The lines are from 5Dimes and the home teams are in CAPS.
Atlanta -8 over INDIANAPOLIS
While the Colts will play better at home, the Falcons really need this big win.
Tampa Bay +10 over NEW ORLEANS
The Bucs beat the Saints just four weeks ago, why is this line so high?
HOUSTON -12 over Cleveland
This line might as well [...]
There are a lot of big lines this week, which makes for interesting dilemmas about which heavy dogs to take. There has also been a strange trend involving teams coming off of bye weeks which is, well, they’re just not winning. So that makes this week a little tricky to predict. [...]
Is it just me, or are teams starting to take this Suck For Luck mantra to a whole new level?
This week we saw the three remaining winless teams not just lose, but flame out hard. Miami lost to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, the Rams got crushed in Dallas while the Saints [...]
Is it seriously Week 7 already? Wow, this season is seriously flying by. If only the NHL season would do the same. Or, if only the NBA could work out their differences and end this ridiculous lockout bickering.
The lines are from 5Dimes and the home teams are in CAPS.
Chicago (pick) over TAMPA BAY
I’m still not [...]
