There were a number of road underdogs who came through in a pinch last weekend but Week 12 of the season sees plenty of even matchups and only two games with lines of greater than a field goal. Such parity typically pro...

The calendar will finally read November when Sunday hits on Week 9 and that can mean we're not too far away from turkey and fixings being accompanied by some playoff-making (or breaking) games. Until those lovely few da...
Week 7 wasn't quite as wild as we've come to see in the recently but it did really help clarify who is a contender and who simply thinks they are. Division races continue to heat up while we're also seeing plenty of GMs...
Everywhere you turned last week, it seemed like there was a shocking upset in progress. From the Jets making Jason Garrett’s hot seat even hotter to the suddenly reeling Chiefs losing back-to-back home games at Arrowhea...
The number of undefeated teams shrunk down to two last week in the as we saw several out-of-nowhere upsets and shocking score lines over the weekend. That's reset the thinking about a number of teams going into Week 6,...
What a truly wild weekend in the it was as the road teams came in like conquering heroes across the country to capture several huge wins. While a repeat performance seems unlikely, it does reaffirm that outside of the t...
The bye weeks officially started in Week 4 and Week 5 only has two teams on a bye as well (Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins). Aside from an easy survival football pick, fantasy owners are likely only affected by the...
Yet another fascinating week in the as we are starting to see the perception about some teams change positively (hello, Detroit) and negatively (sorry, Cleveland) from the preseason hype machine. There were a handful of...
Week 2 of action was a wild one and should have a huge long-term effect on the league given the number of key injuries from coast-to-coast. Those fresh faces at quarterback have resulted in a big unknown in terms of a f...

It was the rare bad showing for my ATS picks last week. Ron Burgundy said that drinking milk was a bad idea and so was betting on the New York Giants, who were as awful as you would expect from a one-win team. The sad t...
Another winning week for me on the ATS picks as the Redskins held serve at home and the Texans plunged the Jaguars deeper into despair. Jacksonville and Philadelphia are in a similar spot just a year after they could ha...
It's Week 7 of the and we're almost at the halfway point of the season. There are a lot of teams that we've got pegged as to whether or not they are good, but many others fluctuate wildly between competent and not. Thes...

On the surface, it looks like not much has changed for the new England Patriots over the course of the first half of the season. They lead the in total offense, and it’s a good thing they do, because their defense ranks...
