By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 9-6-1, losing my best bet. I’m 121-113-6 so far this year. Best bet is 6-9-1. Onto the Week 17 picks: REDSKINS +9.5 at Eagles Jets +2 at DOLPHINS Panthers +8.5 at SAINTS LIONS -3.5 at Packers 49ers -11 at Rams Colts +3.5 at JAGUARS Bills +11.5 at…

By Dalton Del Don As someone who had the Texans in a teaser, watching Dan Orlovsky drive 80 yards to score the game-winning touchdown in just a minute and a half was a miserable experience, although it occurred while I was at a white elephant Christmas party, where I scored a nice bottle of wine…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 11-5, winning my best bet. I’m 112-107-5 so far this year. Best bet is 6-8-1. Onto the Week 16 picks: TEXANS (Best Bet) -5.5 at Colts Dolphins +10 at PATRIOTS BROWNS +13.5 at Ravens CARDINALS +4 at Bengals VIKINGS +6.5 at Redskins BRONCOS -1.5 at Bills Rams…

By Dalton Del Don What an abysmal offensive performance by Jacksonville on Thursday night. At one point in the third quarter, Maurice Jones-Drew had 20-plus more total yards than the Jaguars had net as a team…Let’s just hope this season is a lesson to the NFL when it comes to picking primetime games. Using Vegas…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, losing my best by a half point. I’m 101-102-5 so far this year. Best bet is 5-8-1. Onto the Week 15 picks: JAGUARS +12 at Falcons COWBOYS -7 at Buccaneers BENGALS -6.5 at Rams DOLPHINS pick ’em at Bills REDSKINS +7 at Giants TITANS -7 at…

By Dalton Del Don For a 14-3 final score, Thursday’s Steelers/Browns game was actually pretty watchable…Maybe leading the NFL in touches last season has had something to do with it, but Rashard Mendenhall just hasn’t looked great running the ball this year. In fact, his 2.2 YPC after contact ranks 52nd among running backs. He’ll…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 10-6, winning my best. I’m 94-93-5 so far this year. Best bet is 5-7-1. Onto the Week 14 picks: BROWNS +14 at Steelers Buccaneers -1 at JAGUARS PATRIOTS -8.5 at Redskins TEXANS +2 at Bengals Chiefs +9.5 at JETS Vikings +7 at LIONS Saints -3.5 at TITANS…

By Dalton Del Don That was one of the more pathetic displays of tackling by the Eagles I’ve seen in a long time. Normally I don’t question such things with pro athletes, but it sure seemed like Philadelphia checked out during that embarrassing loss Thursday…Pro Football Focus ranks Nnamdi Asomugha as the 100th cornerback this…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, winning my best. I’m 84-87-5 so far this year. Best bet is 4-7-1. Onto the Week 13 picks: EAGLES -3 at Seahawks Raiders +3 at DOLPHINS Falcons -2 at TEXANS (Best Bet) Titans +1 at BILLS Chiefs +8.5 at BEARS JETS -3 at Redskins BENGALS +7…

By Dalton Del Don With most speculating (rightfully so) how the early Thanksgiving game will finally be worth watching with the Lions being so improved, naturally, the third quarter ended with the score 24-0. Of course, the game was actually much closer than that, with the Lions arguably outplaying the Packers in the first half.…
