| Is Larry Fitzgerald still a #1 receiver in the NFL? |
| Aug 27, 2017 |
| Some of the Cardinals QBs that Fitzgerald has had have not always been top ended guys. Consider some of the highly respected weapons in the NFL currently imagine putting 14-15 TD producer Jordy Nelson and 1400 YD receiver, Julio Jones on the field with 54% completion passer Derek Anderson and see what you would get. A disaster. Or to make things even more interesting, put the beast of beasts, Meg ... read more |
| Los Angeles Rams Under 7 1/2 Wins |
| Aug 20, 2017 |
| It has taken 22 years, but Los Angeles has the Rams back. They can have them. My strongest over/under NFL regular-season win total recommendation is Rams Under 7 1/2 victories. Todd Gurley and a strong defensive line can't cover up all the other Rams' weaknesses. It's not a fluke the Rams haven't made the playoffs in 11 years, nor finished in the top 10 in points and yards since 2006. ... read more |

| Betting the Eagles to go over 8-8.5 wins for the Season |
| Aug 16, 2017 |
| The Eagles finished 7-9 last season and since then added play makers like LeGarrette Blount and Alshon Jeffery. The offensive line last year started with their hands tied as Left Tackle Lane Johnson was suspended for PEDs. Their best runner besides Sproles was Jordan Mathews, he was injured and didn't play 70% of the time. Eagles improved on defense by trading for cornerback Ron Darsby. So ... read more |

| Jul 26, 2017 |

The Falcons had great success last year. Winning 11 games in the regular season - their best season since 2012 for the Atlanta franchise. They seemed to have toppled the dark aura that has wafted around the organization for so many years. They demolished NFC rival and perennial power, Green Bay, in the playoffs, 44-21.
