    Favorites are on fire

    Strange day today... Favorites go 9-2-1 (plus 1 Pick 'Em game, Car/TB). Both dog winners were with the spread only (Jets, Houston). Every single favorite won their game outright. I can't recall ever seeing a week where not a single underdog won a game. Of course there is still one game to...

    Eagles / Redskins In-Game Thread

    I'm guessing since it's half an hour into the game and nobody has started a thread yet, half of the members of the board got murdered with all those favs covering today, and the other half swept the board and are out getting drunk. :lol: Me, I'm having a f*ckin' wonderful day, square that I am...

    2005's strangest NFL injury

    Found this in my emailed injury report. Boy these high-priced athletes are a fragile bunch. "WR Az-zahir Hakim (NO) injured his ribs Sunday morning after he sneezed. Seriously. He was declared inactive for last Sunday's game. Let's see how he looks this week." :s4:

    Pitt's a huge consensus pick

    Bet up from an opening line of -8? to -11?. It would appear both the sharps and the public are slamming the Steelers. MVP posts a little summary every day of where their action is at. This is the first time I have seen them use the word "heavy" in their summary (though I can't claim I have...

    LaDaaaaaaaaaaaaanian!!!

    1 rushing TD, 1 receiving TD, and now 1 passing TD, all in the first half. Has any player in the history of the league ever done that before? Man this guy is money in the bank. What a great year to get the #1 pick in fantasy football. This guy is sooooo money.....

    HA! (NO/Buf)

    Anyone see that run back in the Buffalo game just before halftime? Returner's gonna take back the kickoff for a TD and his own blocker (who isn't even blocking anyone) trips him up. Uses up all of the clock too...so no points for the Bills. Hahahaha....I love it. Unreal.

    Just a thought (NE/SD)...

    I've heard a few people mention that Seattle is playing the early game this week, with cross-country travel too...and I am on Washington largely for that reason. I haven't heard anyone mention that this applies to San Diego this week too. I know every game for the Chargers is already being...

    This year's NFC North: Weakest division in the history of the NFL?

    When this new divisional setup started a few years ago, I predicted that sometime in the not-too-distant future, some team, somewhere would win it's division with a sub-.500 record. I think it's going to happen this year in the NFC North. Going to eight divisions of just four teams, and having...

    Saints / Panthers in-game thread

    I got a sympathy bet on the Saints +7, as I am sure a lot of people do today. Lots of tear-jerking pregame stuff, and normally I wouldn't pay that much attention...but today...well, I just had a feeling there may be something to it. I'm looking for these guys to play their hearts out...for...

    Ethical dilemma
