By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer This week is great for teasers as a number of NFL teams are favored by around a touchdown.  The Eagles (-7 at home against the Redskins) and the Lions (-6 at home against the 49ers) make for a very appealing 6-point teaser, while I like pairing the Eagles with…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. Atlanta (-5.5) at Detroit, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: It’s unclear if Michael Vick’s newfound passing success is permanent, but it is the surest sign of progress shown in quite some time.…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer If you’re in the enviable position of sitting atop, or close to the top, of your league right now, then you should have one thing and one thing only on your mind – the playoffs. Below are six teams who benefit from favorable schedules in weeks 14-16. Trade accordingly……

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer After a great start, I’ve struggled a bit picking winners the last couple of weeks. This week I hope to rebound by teasing Seattle (-8 at home against the Raiders) and Jacksonville (-9.5 at home against the Titans) 7 points. In moneyline bets I like the Colts (+137 at…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Like all rookie QBs, Matt Leinart was bound to struggle at some point. Still, I expected bigger numbers against matchups such as Green Bay. He’s a QB2 at best. After a performance that saw him get 4.5 YPA Sunday, that Chicago game feels like it was months ago.…

Arizona (+3.5) at Green Bay, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: While the Packers are winless at home, the Cardinals are still looking for their first road victory, so something’s got to give…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer Game-winning field goals aside, yesterday was easily the craziest day in the NFL. Seven of the twelve games were upsets, five teams that were 5+ point underdogs pulled off shockers, and the Raiders did the unthinkable and won. Of note. . . Wali Lundy is back! With Gary Kubiak’s…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. Pittsburgh (-2.5) at Atlanta, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: Ben Roethlisberger got back on track in a big way last week, finishing with a remarkable 153.8 QB rating and getting 12.5 YPA.…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer This week I’m going with the Colts (-9 at home against the Redskins) and the Seahawks (-7 at home against the Vikings) teased 6.5 each. The Colts should roll, and the Seahawks have one of the best homefield advantages in the league. As far as straight bets go, I…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. Cincinnati (-5.5) at Tampa Bay, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: Instead of taking yet another step backward, Bruce Gradkowski has the Buccaneers’ offense moving forward. Still, it’s common for rookie QBs to…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer I know power rankings are incredibly cliché, but I’ve never done them before and figured I would give it a shot. Now I’m never quite sure what ‘power rankings’ actually mean, but my way of looking at it is taking two teams and deciding whom I would favor in…

Can someone please explain to me why SportsCenter doesn’t show full boxscores?…You know things are getting bad for Daunte Culpepper when Mike Mularkey calls for Ronnie Brown to throw the 2 point conversion pass with the game on the line…The Ravens still suck…When someone starts talking about “Moss,” it’s time to assume they mean Santana…In…

By Jeff Chudnofsky – Staff Writer Four weeks into the NFL season, we’ve learned (once again) that not everything goes as planned. We’ve seen playoff teams become cellar dwellers and doormats become legitimate forces. We’ve seen Daunte struggle in his new environment while Donovan is back on the scene. We’ve been introduced the rookie of…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Editor’s Note: I write half the coverage of RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules,” hence only the NFC home games here, and figured I might as well share them with the loyal RotoScoop readers. While extensive, maybe I touched on one of your favorite teams; dissenting opinions welcome… Washington (+4.5)…
