I'll be interested to see if Collie plays...he's listed as questionable but has practiced the last two days. The Colts have really been lucky though the last few weeks, getting outplayed badly but managing to come away 1-1. The Bengals had a FIVE turnover deficit against the Colts and still covered the spread. Teams that are -5 in turnovers in a game are something like 4-127 ATS since 1989. I don't believe the Patriots are especially great either, but I do like them to play well for the second straight week.

 

Houston has not covered the spread in 5 games. Teams that have not covered in 5 or more games and are not favored by 3 or more points are on a 21-1 run ATS right now. The Jets are also sitting in a home letdown situation. The Jets have also been extremely lucky recently, so I am going to play the Texans and expect some of the bounces to go against the Jets for the first time in a while.

It feels dirty to root for Farve and Minny.

Crazy finish in the Jets-texans game.

I'm just mad Gus wasn't doing that game. Sanchez with two perfect passes to end that game.

And your dirty feeling went for naught.

YEAH PACK!!!

will Cincy finally get rid of Lewis now?

How in the hell can the Vikings justify playing Favre anymore?

Those Viqueens just quit on Childress big time, lol.

Jon Kitna scored a touchdown on a 29 yard bootleg. Never thought I would type that.

 

Looks like Garrett's got the job for next year if we keep playing this hard for the rest of the year.

My God, my picks are awful today.

Gotta be happy about the way the Bills are playing. Part of me prefers the #1 pick, but you can't help but feel good when they're playing well (even if it is against s***ty teams)

Vince Young threw his jersey and pads into the stands after the game today. Jeff Fisher has said Young has lost his starting job because of his reaction, regardless of the injury.

$20 million.

When was the last time that there were three Caucasian halfbacks that played atleast semi-prominent roles in the NFL? Hillis is obviously a monster, Woodhead just scored again and has been a great player for New England, and Gerhart has been a pretty solid backup in Minnesota, even if he is backing up one of the best running backs in the league.

Just not the year for Manning and co in this game. The Patriots are just deeper.

Ok, that's a stat.

 

Career 300+ yard passing games:

 

Peyton Manning: 60

Brett Favre: 61

Dan Marino: 62.

My God, my picks are awful today.

I got beat up pretty badly today. Need the Eagles to roll to salvage the day. The Browns were +6 in the turnover margin until their final drive of that game and STILL managed to lose. That's like virtually impossible to do. The officials really screwed over Detroit....they kept calling horse collar penalties on key downs which were bs...especially one where they tackled Marion Barber by his hair. Just a poor job of officiating...ended up really changing the composition of the game. The Cardinals never showed up today at all, although the refs managed to screw them over in a key part of the game as well. And then of course, the Pats let the Colts back in the game by playing prevent defense against Peyton Manning (STUPID).

As long as they keep getting the ball into Dez Bryant's hands, I'm happy. Always been a fan. He's ridiculously talented.

How many times has Young been benched, forgotten about, and then re-anointed the starter?

Supposedly done for good this time. He'd be a good pickup for the Bills that would allow them to use their 1st rounder on something else, as either he or Fitzpatrick would be able to run the offense.
