By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer This week I like teasing the Colts (-7.5 @ Tennessee) and Steelers (-7.5 at home against the Bucs) as well as the Dolphins (-114), Falcons (+113) and Seahawks (+161) moneylines. Unless you’re in the rare league that still allows trading (like ours) there is really nothing left to do…

If loving Joseph Addai is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. There isn’t a bigger feast or famine player in the NFL right now than Rex Grossman. The Michael Vick for LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees trade has to go down as one of the most lopsided in the history of the game.…

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. Arizona (+6.5) at Minnesota, Sunday 1 p.m. Comments: After ending an eight-game losing streak last week, Arizona now travels to face a Minnesota team in the midst of a four-game losing…

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer I’m not a big fan of many bets this week. I’m probably going to tease the Colts (-9) at home in a bounce back special against a devastated Eagles squad with the Vikings (-6) at home against the awful Cardinals. Wish me luck. Now, a few things I wanted…

Miami (-3) at Detroit, Thursday 12:30 p.m. Comments: Not exactly an intriguing Thanksgiving matchup, with Joey Harrington’s return to Detroit being the main headline. The teams enter going in opposite directions, as the Lions have dropped two straight against weak competition, while the Dolphins have won three straight contests with strong defensive play. Missing both…

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. I’ve outlined my favorites below. 1. Trading for the Playoffs I’ve discussed this strategy before. If your team…

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.…
