And maybe even more surprising was how much Zona's D dominated Chicago's offense. Grossman def. had an off night. Boldin is still easily a top-5 WR in my eyes. You got an absolute steal with him for Moss. Such a crazy game, the Bears just needed a wake up call and they got it.

Who would have thought that the Bears offense would look so awful. I wonder what the Cards would have been able to do if they kept trying to score instead of just trying to not mistakes in the second half. Boldin is a man among boys. I feel pretty happy with the trade of Moss for him now...my buddy is not so happy though hehe. At least in the end the Bears defense and special teams pulled Grossman and his awful game on their shoulders and won it by themselves. :) Last night’s game was pretty amazing.

I did pretty well in my lineup suggestions and player predictions but had a brutal week against the spread....I still don't see the Cards scoring more than 10 points tonight, but like I said, this hasn't been my week.

I think the Cards/Bears game is going to be a little more offensive than your prediction would seem to indicate. I wouldnt be surprised if Arizona beats the Bears (and I am a HUGE Bears fan) since it just looks like one of those risky games and Arizona is at home and on Monday Night...the Bears dont play well in the spotlight of primetime and havent for some time except for the Seattle game this year. My prediction is that the Cards cover and it is an offensive showdown. Bears 34 Cards 31.

I'm not as confident on that game as some others, but I think Philly is probably a top-5 team in the NFL right now, regardless of their relatively easy sked so far.

Dayne is likely to get more carries, but there's no upside there, and Dallas has stopped the run all year. Benson has actually got double-digit carries in four of his five games, and that Monday night game could easily get out of hand. Go Benson.

Also, glad someone else things Bears will cover this week, I feel bad for the rookie in AZ. also, in case you can still edit this article over at rotowire- chargers are a 10 point favorite this week, not a dog.

I know for baseball, yahoo is pretty specific as to how many innings played at each defensive position. I looked at the Situational stats, and it breaks down where he lines up with respect to the football, but not neccessarily what position that qualifies for in that set.

If the commish chose Yahoo, then you use their rules and settings unless otherwise stated beforehand. You can't pick and choose what settings are right and wrong. In basketball, these things happen all the time in Yahoo - Elton Brand was eligible at center for years even though he never played the position. Same goes for Carlos Boozer and Tim Duncan this year.....Josh Willingham was available at catcher, even though he didn't play one single game there this year. Maybe like Willingham did in the minors, Colston played some TE last year in college. Either way, if Yahoo allows it, it should stand.

His league is throwing a fit that he has Colston as an eligible tight end, and i guess he has to make a case to the commish by next week. I told him I thought he lined up as a TE several times in the Atlanta game. Anyone else know more details on why Colston is even eligible at that position? Or suggestions as to how to approach this situation. I say if their commish chose Yahoo as their site, then he also chooses to follow the rules and elegibility that Yahoo selects. Nice overview D.
