Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: 2013 Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#32)
Last week: 32 (+0) Record: 0-5 The Jaguars essentially waved the wave flag on this season and on Blaine Gabbert when they traded Eugene Monroe to the Ravens. Their goal this season was to evaluate Blaine Gabbert with a better offensive line, after drafting Luke Joeckel 2nd overall. However, trading…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings extend DE Brian Robison
It’s very interesting that the Vikings chose to lock up Brian Robison, but not Jared Allen, with the bookend defensive ends both set to hit free agency this off-season (along with talented #3 end Everson Griffen and starting defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Fred Evans). However, Robison has actually outplayed…

Green Bay Packers (2-2) at Baltimore Ravens (3-2) The Ravens have been one of the premier home teams in the NFL over the past few seasons, going 25-3 at home since 2010. They’re outscore opponents by about a point per game on the road in that time period and by…

Carolina Panthers (1-3) at Minnesota Vikings (1-3) I can’t quit the Panthers. They’re clearly not going 12-4 like I thought they would at the start of the season. I can admit that because it’s clearly wrong and because I was right about pretty much everything else. But they’re not as…

Pittsburgh Steelers (0-4) at New York Jets (3-2) The bye week might have been exactly what the Steelers needed. They sit at 0-4, but they get as healthy as they can be during the bye, with veterans resting up and guys like Heath Miller and Le’Veon Bell getting extra time…

New York Giants (0-5) at Chicago Bears (3-2) Ordinarily, Chicago would be the easy choice in this situation. The home team also usually covers on Thursday Night Football, because, on a short week, you need all the time you can get to prepare and having to travel puts you at…

RB Zac Stacy (St. Louis) Percent owned (ESPN): 0.6% 5th round rookie Zac Stacy was the lead back for the Rams this week, after they benched Daryl Richardson mid-week following a pathetic showing against the 49ers week 4. He carried the ball 14 times for 78 yards. He won’t always…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders: 2013 Week 5 NFL Pick
San Diego Chargers (2-2) at Oakland Raiders (1-3) When I did my top-200 players back in August, the Chargers were the only team in the NFL that only had 1 player on the list (safety Eric Weddle). Even the Jaguars (Eugene Monroe, Maurice Jones-Drew, Cecil Shorts) and the Raiders (Jared…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers: 2013 Week 5 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (3-1) at Green Bay Packers (1-2) The Packers are 1-2, but this isn’t representative of the type of team they are. They started last year 2-3 and finished 11-5. They’ll be a very good 10-12 win team again this season. The Lions, however, are also very good. I…
