By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I’m going to go ahead and say it again – The Atlanta Falcons’ three best skill position players start the game on the bench. Can’t wait to see what Matt Schaub, Jerious Norwood and Roddy White do next year. Anyone who says Jamal Lewis is back didn’t watch…

By Dalton Del Don – Staff Writer Editor’s Note: The following is written for RotoWire’s weekly “game capsules;” I cover the NFC home games. Cincinnati (+3.5) at New Orleans, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: It should be clear by now that New Orleans is a good football team, while Cincinnati is a decidedly mediocre one. Still,…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer A few random thoughts and then off to the abridged power rankings. . . I’m one loss away from winning my total wins bet for the Arizona Cardinals (over/under 8 ). The fact that Rutgers can go undefeated in a BCS conference with two wins over top-10 teams and…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer Betting on road teams in the NFL has not been good business this year. The temptation to ignore the homefield advantage and wager on the better team is an urge I’ve succumbed to many times. Well guess what? I’m going to go ahead and do it again this week.…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer So much for Carson Palmer’s mechanics being out of whack. He hung in the pocket strong until the last possible moment and still throws the best deep ball in football. Expect the Cincy passing game to be one of the elite from here on out. Is it just…

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. Cleveland (+8) at Atlanta, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: After a couple steps forward for Michael Vick the passer, it was one step back last week. It seems consistency will remain a…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer With most leagues’ trading deadlines right around the corner, it becomes increasingly important for owners to take stock of their teams and make smart trades based on a few key strategies.

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…

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…
