Month: September 2008

By Dalton Del Don If the Browns and Bengals can’t get their offenses going against each other, it’s officially going to be a long season for both. Brady Quinn must really not impress during practice, or he would’ve been in that football game Sunday…Chris Perry is about to fumble his way out of a job.…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, which wasn’t unexpected since I had a difficult time making the picks. At least my best bet came through, bringing my season record there to 2-0-1. Overall, my record sits at 24-22-1. I normally go against road favorites but went with the Broncos, the Chargers and…

Here are this week’s risers and fallers.

By Dalton Del Don Not sure if I’ve ever seen an uglier display of quarterback play than Tyler Thigpen on Sunday. Imagine Dwayne Bowe with even an average QB throwing to him…The Falcons’ rushing attack is legit, as Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood complement each other perfectly. Turner is a beast between the tackles, and…

By Dalton Del Don If I were laying real money down, I’d stay far away from this week, as it’s a slate I had a terribly difficult time with. I give Vegas a lot of credit, as they were right on with most of these lines. Taking 11 favorites has me sick to my stomach.…

Here’s this week’s edition.

By Dalton Del Don This Titans defense is no joke. Cortland Finnegan is one of the league’s better players few know about…The Bengals have faced a seriously difficult early season schedule, but that can’t completely excuse such a disastrous line by Carson Palmer (49%, 4.5 YPA, 0:3 TD:INT ratio). Things will get better, but with…

Here’s this week’s version.

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 10-6, including winning my “best bet,” so I’m 1-0 there. Most will say the opposite, but I typically find Week 1 the easiest slate of the year, so unsurprisingly, it got harder for me this week. Here are the Week 2 picks, now with comments. Raiders +3.5…

Check out Week 2’s edition.

By Dalton Del Don For anyone hoping the postseason Eli Manning from last year would show up for 2008, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Inconsistent is his middle name…If Brandon Jacobs somehow stays healthy, he’ll easily finish as a top-10 fantasy back. Maybe top-5. His hands are a joke, though…Jason Campbell is not…

I’ll go with the Colts over the Cowboys. Now let me know your predictions…

More football talk on my weekly XM segment.

By Dalton Del Don Last year I finished 130-117 ATS, becoming the new “staff picks” champ over at RotoWire. Chris Liss has yet to get over it. Now back to prove it was no fluke, Week 1 seemed easy to pick, which means a poor start is almost surely likely. Seriously, loving all these home…

No longer on NFL.com, but now Yahoo. I think that means I’m moving up in the world. Anyway, here’s the Week 1 version.
