It has been a circuitous route but with just 7 games to play the Raiders are on the top of the AFC West. They don’ have a huge lead but with Carson Palmer starting to show some signs of getting it and Darren McFadden eventually coming back they have to like their chances from here on out.
The Carolina Panthers were the darlings of the football betting world for the first part of the season. With Cam Newton leading the charge they were bombing away resulting in a 5-1 ATS run from weeks 3-8.
Colorado State is having another typically poor season. They have lost 5 in a row but perhaps this team is not as bad as people think with back to back three point losses heading into the game on Saturday afternoon at TCU.
2011 was supposed to be a breakthrough season for June Jones and the Mustangs. It was looking that way a month ago after consecutive wins against TCU and UCF but with 3 losses in their last 4 games the season has has become less meaningful- in part due to Houston’s perfection.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team.
Week 10 in the NFL is in the books. The Weisguy takes over for Matt and offers up these recaps for your NFL viewing pleasure.
Ohio is enjoying yet another good season under quality coach Frank Solich. The Bobcats are currently in first in the MAC East with a 4-2 record, controlling their own destiny with just a couple of games left on the schedule.
Ball State is back? The Cardinals are 6-4 and if they can sneak a win on Tuesday night they would be in the thick of the MAC West race.
The Detroit Lions cruised into their bye week by hammering the Broncos. They were nicked up a bit before but they should be fresh now heading to rival Chicago to try and cool the warm (I refuse to think they are hot) Bears.
It has been a nice first season for the Brady Hoke crew in Ann Arbour. They beat Notre Dame and should qualify for a bowl game that will give them a respite from the Michigan winter cold.
For those of you who may have lost track, Houston is one of only 5 teams still undefeated in FBS this season. They are certainly not the most talented of that bunch but with the schedule they have they might actually be the most likely team to finish the season that way.
After a horrendous 0-4 start Miami has won 4 of 5 and is currently tied for first in the MAC East. Win and they control their own destiny, setting up a showdown with Ohio the last week of the season.

Michigan basketball might be back…or at the very least more competitive than it has been in a while.
I hope that everyone reading this tuned in last week for Northern Illinois’ win over Toledo. For me it was the most entertaining game I have seen since Baylor vs TCU in week 1. It was a big one too as UNI took control in the MAC West.
