I'm not sure that it is fair that everyone judges him just for the stabbing incident. He was never brought to trial, received an obstruction of justice charge, and his buddies were acquitted of the murder charges. He has done a lot of charity work throughout his career, but that doesn't get the headlines that a stabbing does. I'm not defending the guy, just trying to show both sides. Off field antics aside, the guy was a fierce competitor and I'd rank him in the top ten LB's to play the game.

Baltimore can still move up to #3 with a win AND a Patriots loss. Indy and Cincy are locked in as #5 and #6, respectively.

Regardless, it won't affect the Pack, they'll get the Niners in the divisional round and be one and done again. |

On a per game average, the Texans have outscored the Colts by 4.8 points this year. The opening lines I am seeing are 4 to 5. Both teams bring uncertainty: are the Colts going to coast into the playoffs and lay down? Are the Texans going to continue their sloppy ways and not be able to beat, or cover 4 or 5 points, versus a team that may or may not pull their starters at some point. The oddsmakers started with the statistical average and will let the betting control the line. Many games start with the statistical average this week, but there is value out there. I thought the Saints at 4 or 4.5 was good value. They have outscored the Panthers by 7.3 points this year and will want to put this tumultuous season behind them with an exclamation point. I don't have a system, but always like to start with the statistical averages, which is often what the oddsmakers start with. |

The defense, although slightly improved from last year, can still be beaten. Hard to dispute the Broncos winning it. They are playing as well as any team in the NFL right now. I'd take the Texans over the Steelers though, mainly because the road to the Super Bowl will likely go through Houston, with Houston playing Cincy, Indy or Pitt in the second round. If the Steelers were healthy I'd say they could do what the Giants did last year. Broncos are legit on both sides of the ball and I think a game in Houston would benefit Manning, as opposed to a game in New England or Denver in the weather. I'm interested to see how Manning plays in Denver in January, probably against Brady and the Pats D. |

Not exactly true but it may as well be. 4 of the top 5 leading tacklers on the Ravens are either inactive for tomorrow's game against the Denver Broncos or listed as Questionable. Manageable if you're taking on the Jacksonville Jagoffs or the Oakland Raiders but not so much so against the hottest team in pro football for the past 2 months.
Peyton Manning will continue to pad his 2012 resume and show why he is this year's MVP....
Denver -3.5
St Louis (+4.5) / Denver (+3.5) 2 Team Teaser
The hottest team in pro football for the past two months? Since when is beating the AFC West and NFC basement considered elite? The Broncos only loss in the last two months? To the Patriots. And before that, to Atlanta and Houston. Yeah, it's a "what have you done for me lately" league, but when you beat bad teams and lose to good teams you are mediocre. Good luck this weekend. |

The Giants definitely have a good track record during this time, and maybe the Steelers could be in the same boat. This statement is dripping with spite and maybe some envy. I'm a Cowboy fan so don't call me biased. |

Terrible problem to have, eh? All 3 games are expecting some weather with Brady expecting to play in wet, gusty conditions. The other two games look similar: possible rain, but less wind. Most rankings have Luck ranked higher than Brady and Ryan this week. Luck has performed well at home and the Titans have given up some good games to QB's and don't have an elite secondary or pass rush. Texans have given up some big yardage to elite QB's this year and I am not convinced Johnathan Joseph will be 100% and will play the entire game, which hurts the Texans. Texans do have a good pass rush and Belichick may want to control the game via the run. If the weather was good, I think this game would be a shootout, and it still might be. Panthers are not an elite defense, but actually tend to keep the opposing QB to moderate games and have a decent secondary. Ryan had a real good game against them earlier this year, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee a good game this time - plus he's had some poor outings recently. I have to decide between Ryan and Brady and am going with Brady. Good luck. |

Vincent Jackson, Randall Cobb, AJ Green Non-PPR, 7 pts for TD, 3 points every 50 yards receiving, big play bonus for TD's over 50 yards Out of these three guys I need to start two, one will have to be on my bench. I usually don't have a problem making a decision, but am finding it difficult this week. I am leaning toward Jackson and Cobb, but with the snowy weather expected in GB I am leaning towards starting Green over Cobb, although Flynn dropped almost 500 yards and 6 TD's against the Lions last year in week 17 in cold, windy conditions, no snow - Cobb didn't play in that game and I don't how he'll be in snowy conditions. I got my blinders on and think Jackson is a must start against the Eagles. I know it's hard to bench Green, but I wouldn't have a problem doing it if there weren't 5"+ of snow predicted for GB??? In a vacuum I like Cobb's matchup and Jackson's matchup better than Green's matchup against Dallas. Thanks in advance for any other angles you may provide. Ed |

And for the last 5 weeks we've been seeing similar scores against anyone the Pats play. Weather looks normal in Miami, high of 77, for Sunday with a 30% chance of showers.
