NFL WILDCARD WEEKEND – RAVENS vs. PATRIOTS

Let’s see now.

The best receiver just tore up every ligament in his left knee. The starting running back has a tendency to fumble the ball every time he touches it inside the opposing 5 yard line. The deep-threat receiver pouts when things don’t go exactly the way he wants them.

Week 17 NFL Spreads: Eagles vs. Cowboys

NFL WEEK 17 – EAGLES vs. COWBOYS

In a mega-game that everyone feels will be dominated by playmakers for both teams on both sides of the ball, will the outcome of the NFC East be determined by a substitute center?

Maybe.

Philadelphia’s offensive line has teetered between work in progress and absolute mess since the start of training camp, and now the Eagles will be forced to finish out with season without the one stabilizing force on the front five – center Jamaal Jackson, who suffered torn knee ligaments in the victory over Denver last Sunday.

NFL WEEK 16 JETS vs. COLTS

For the second time in three years the cranky old 1974 Dolphins are sweating bullets. Mercury Morris and his boys had part of their legacy chipped away when the 2007 Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season (before faltering in the Super Bowl). Now, less than two years later, the Colts are taking dead aim.

NFL WEEK 16 – BRONCOS vs. EAGLES

With the possible exception of Bernie Madoff, has there been a fall from grace more dramatic than that suffered by the Denver Broncos?

Week 15 NFL Spreads: Bengals vs. Chargers

NFL WEEK 15 – BENGALS vs. CHARGERS

Much has been made of the Cincinnati Bengals’ conversion from a team dominated by hoodlums to a group that stays home on Friday and Saturday nights, which greatly enhances the team’s chances of winning on Sunday afternoons. But a more subtle metamorphosis has taken place, and it will be evident Sunday when Cincy travels to San Diego in an important Week 15 game.
