Detroit -3 over Cleveland Nice defensive effort on Monday night for Browns. Team still not good enough to win at fearsome Ford Field six days later. Michigan puts one over Ohio. Jacksonville -9 over Buffalo Somewhat of a similar spot for the Bills as last week at Tennessee, and you know how...

OK, you didn't ask for them (again) so here they are (again). SEATTLE +2 @ San Francisco Seahawks reassert division supremacy despite the long grass Kansas City/Oakland UNDER THE TOTAL 38 Run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run CAROLINA +6.5...

You didn't ask for them, so here they are: MAXIMUM HAIKU BETS: Bengals -4 over Broncos Denver upheaval plus Orton's hand injury welcome back Carson RECOMMENDED HAIKU BETS: Eagles -1 at Carolina McNabb wants to prove there is no need for Michael hence he'll win this game...

I freely admit I hate the Colts and think that right now they are the luckiest 2-2 team in football. But anyway: am I completely off-base in feeling that that game-winning Reggie Wayne catch was a little dubious? Was it right that he was judged to be in control of the ball when he only had...

Well, that was some experience! Loved it, loved it, loved it - apart from the screw-up where the person who was supposed to leave our tickets at the will-call didn't do so and was unreachable. I got very lucky to get a pair in section 109 from the ticket office instead, bang on the halfway line...

[Apologies if these are not new points at all] 1. Last night's game proved that the Pats do draw a line in how far they 'run up the score'. It's just that they draw the line a little further out than many people. BB doesn't see the game as over and won at 37-7 or 42-10, and that is his...

I'm going to my first game at the Gillette, on the 25th. I'm not sure if I'm pleased it's a night game, really. Do you think there is any chance this game gets flexed out of the Sunday Night slot, given that we'll have all but clinched the East by then and the Eagles look like being out of...

[There have been no 'five things I think' lately because I had relatives over. This week I can only think of one thing....] 1. Mike Florio really does talk a lot of crap at times. I enjoy the site greatly, but boy does Florio come out with some crap. Three things on the site have really...

1. It's a lot easier being Tony Romo than being Matt Leinart. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a sob story for poor, unfortunate souls like Leinart who become instant celebrity multi-millionaires upon leaving college. But as I enjoy watching Tony Romo's rise to stardom and excellent...

I enjoyed the Peter-King-style thread yesterday, so I'm shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon: 1. Media experts, including - perhaps especially - former players and coaches, make terrible handicappers. The evidence is everywhere in print and on TV, and it's hardly a new observation. Still, I...

I'm watching the enjoyable Bears-Giants game. I can't stop steam coming out of my ears every time the latest 'No Fun League' rule on celebrations is invoked. Brandon Thingy scores a TD, sticks the ball up his jersey in tribute apparently to his newly pregnant wife, and cops a 15 yard penalty...

CANCEL - got it, thanks

I'm really not one for constantly ripping the Colts, but I find myself scratching my head at Pro Football Weekly ranking them #1 this week. They've won fairly narrowly at a Giants team who are looking porous (to say the least) on defense, blew out the Texans (big deal) and squeaked past the...

Some fackwit just set off a fire alarm in our building, so I missed about half an hour. Was that a bad thing, or - given the performance - a good thing?

The total points line looks a bit high at 48 tonight, to me. I guess people are caught up in Manning v Manning and envisioning a shootout, but I think that's the last thing the Giants will plan this game to be. 'Course, it could turn out that way if the Colts jump out into a lead, but I...

Hey macadie, It may be a little juvenile to gloat, but you did call me dumb. So... <<What? Willie Parker running the whole game, with a mix of Vernon Hayes. Please watch the game, they will have maybe 150 total yards.>> Just don't give up the day job.

Obviously, sports betting is illegal. But if it were legal and if i participated in it, then I would have to bet the Steelers tonight. The lines have moved towards Miami this week, obviously due mostly to Roethlisberger's appendectomy. ('Ectomy' is just not a nice ending to any word, is it?)...

I can hardly pass up making the short journey from Stamford, CT to the Meadowlands next Sunday. I just wondered if any of you can put my mind at ease about using stubhub; any experiences, good or bad? Would you recommend it, or suggest just turning up at the stadium and 'finding' tickets outside?

The officials' uniforms in tonight's Hall of Fame game were disgusting. Is this the new look for this season?? I assume it is, unless it was some kind of one-off for this game. The classic, simple thin black and white stripes are iconic and never get old. Now we have this ugly, pointless...

Inspired by the 'top ten helmets' thread, and as a leading expert in aesthetics, here's my take on all 32 NFL helmets: Arizona: Clean and clear. 7/10 Atlanta: Nice bird, too dark overall. 5/10 Baltimore: Also dark, has a certain something. 6/10 Buffalo: Dynamic reworking of old silhouette...
