in an absolute tailspin right now. feel free to fade away...

chicago (-1) 1 unit. wow, denver wins 2 games, and suddenly they go from 'they're TERRIBLE' to 'they can win in chicago'. such short term memories, people. don't get me wrong. grossman is awful. and cutler is going to be decent (10 years from now, when cutler is still starting in the nfl and vince young is out of the league, most of the comments from last week's tennessee/denver game will be absolutely laughable), but this is the same denver team that got blown out at detroit a few weeks ago.

tennessee (-1.5) 1 unit. yes, i'm taking the aforementioned vince young on the road this week. mostly because his receivers will be so wide open that even when he throws way behind them, there will be nobody there to intercept his wayward passes. i'm actually hoping the titans run the ball 80 times today. only 3 teams give up more than cincy's 4.5 yards per carry.

houston (+3.5) 1 unit. i simply refuse to drink the cleveland brown koolaid. after a brutal stretch, houston has won 2 straight. and cleveland is coming off this 3-game stretch... OT win over seattle, 3-point loss to pitt, and a ridiculous OT win over baltimore. big letdown today.

not sure i can go against new england right now, but... um... is losing mcnabb really a bad thing? the last time feeley took over for an injured mcnabb, the eagles went 6-1 and made the playoffs. he (just like jeff garcia) runs this offense better than mcnabb. i just don't know if that will make a difference this game. but if mcnabb was playing, i would have taken new england. now... well, i expect a much better effort from the eagles. this just may be the wrong game to put money on them. oh, and does anybody think that if the eagles were playing the 49ers this week, that mcnabb would be playing?

On the Bears with you today Smitty. Tossed that coin numerous times on the Browns/Hou game. Really considered the Texans with that hook but drinking one more glass of brown koolaid.(minus the hook) :SIB

trolln, that koolaid has to taste better after that td at the end of the half. once, just once, i'd like MY team to be the one scoring a td at the end of the half.

be careful guys... there is always the rex grossman factor. :scared well, that plus the fact i can't hit a play to save my life. if i had more than 3 remaining brain cells, i'd just stick to college hoops now.

To add insult to injury

To add insult to injury

i just saw the replay of vince young turning the ball over at the cincy 5-yard line. other than merill hoge, when will 'experts' start having the cojones to call this guy out? he's the second lowest rated qb in the league, next to alex smith. he's thrown nearly 3 times as many INT's as TD's this year. HE IS A TERRIBLE QB. the one game kerry collins started this year, they scored 38 points. there is offensive talent on that team. they just don't have a qb who can utilize it.

ok, i'm off my soapbox. that is my weekly 'vince young is terrible' rant. thank you for reading. we will now resume our regularly scheduled programming, which consists of me whining about bad losses.

Chasing...

Chasing...

ya know what, screw it. i'm gonna assume that chicago loses this game, since i'm having one of those days/weekends where i don't catch a single break. and i might as well make one of the stupidest bets in my life to finish the day.

philly (+25) 2 units. the eagles are better without mcnabb, and yet the line went up. this is a good value. :scared ok, it's suicide going against the pats, but i've got nothing left to lose. :)

I'll ride the Birds with you. :SIB

if you're gonna go down, might as well go down in flames, right?

wow, denver basically beat by another long pass the first play of OT. who didn't see that coming? :00hour
