Last week: 26 (+1) Record: 3-5 Jason Campbell did his best Brian Hoyer impression this week, utilizing his two downfield weapons in Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron and relying on a solid defense in a near upset of the Chiefs in Kansas City. Campbell completed 23 of 40 for 299…

Last week: 24 (-2) Record: 3-5 There’s no shame in getting blown in New Orleans, where the Saints have won and covered in their last 13 instances under Sean Payton. The Bills haven’t been the same team on the road this season as they have been at home, where they’ve…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: 2013 Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 27 (+0) Record: 2-6 The Giants are only 2 games back in the NFC East after winning two in a row. Considering their tendency to rip off multiple wins in a row over the past 10 years in the Manning/Coughlin era, they should not be taken lightly by…

Last week: 28 (+0) Record: 3-4 Kellen Clemens was essentially as you’d expect him against one of the league’s premier defenses, as he completed 15 of 31 for 158 yards and 2 interceptions in leading the Rams to 9 total points. The Rams’ defense kept them competitive against an elite…

Last week: 30 (+1) Record: 3-4 Aside from his NFL record 93-yard quarterback run, Terrelle Pryor struggled against the Steelers, who are one of the best defenses he’s faced this season, completing 10 of 19 for 92 yards and 2 interceptions. We know he can run, but his struggles in…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 9 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 29 (-1) Record: 1-6 At this point, it’s pretty clear than Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel, and Josh Freeman are all pretty lame ducks. The Vikings can keep rotating them all they want and they may in a quarterback situation that has become very reminiscent of the 2010 49ers’…

Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 0-7 It’s becoming very clear that Greg Schiano will not be the Head Coach of the Buccaneers in 2014, though they may opt to keep him until the end of the season, rather than firing him mid-season. It’ll be interesting to see who the Buccaneers…

Last week: 32 Record: 0-8 I still contend that the Jaguars will probably win a game at some point this season, but it’s arguable they’ve had the worst 8 game start to a season ever. They are the first team since the 1984 Oilers to lose the first 8 games…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins: 2013 Week 9 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (6-2) at Miami Dolphins (3-4) I could go either way on this one. The Bengals had a huge offensive outburst last week, scoring 49 points. Ordinarily, teams are able to maintain that kind of momentum into their next week. Favorites are 27-17 ATS since 1989 after scoring 49…

RB Andre Ellington (Arizona) Percent owned (ESPN): 16.3% Andre Ellington was great in small bursts early in the season, but with Rashard Mendenhall hurt this week, Ellington was the lead back, rushing for 154 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, and catching another 2 passes for 8 yards. He…
