Posted in Beating Minnesota (-3.5)… First off, the Vikings can be beaten. The 49ers had them on the ropes and allowed them to escape… Minnesota’s play-calling is at this point, very predictable. Run the ball as much as possible and occasionally, have Brett throw a play-action pass. Makes perfect sense, when you have a powerful offensive line [...]

Packers Line and Over/Under
Packers (-6.5) @ St. Louis…42 Over/Under Line @ 8:50 A.M. CST Injury Report Bigby, Clifton and Brandon Jackson are all out. Riaji, Hall and Jeremy Thompson are all questionable.

Gambling Thoughts…Week Number Three
My four favorite choices in ascending order: 4. Pittsburgh (-3.5) @ Cincinnati…a lot of bad-mouthing Big Ben and the “lowly” Steelers this week… 3.

Special Teams? Intangibles, [...]

Hawk looks slow-he made two tackles last weekend, one on special teams. Nick Barnett made a grand total of three tackles- three. I kid you not. I think [...]
Opening Line
The Surprising Opening Line is Green Bay (-6.5) @ St. Louis As poorly as Green Bay’s offensive line has played, this is quite a surprise. Other “interesting” lines: 1. Washington (-6.5) @ Detroit You don’t think the Lions could actually win a game do you? 2. Atlanta @ New England (-4) The Patriots look beatable, [...]
Green Bay Packers Loss To Cincinnati Is No Reason To Panic: Here’s Why
“The Green Bay Packers never lost a football game. They just ran out of time.”—Vince Lombardi. A testament to Lombardi’s quote was Sunday’s matchup against the Bengals. There are weekends where the normal, expected circumstances grace our television screens, such as Peyton Manning throwing for over 300 yards in a win, and then there are [...]
