With the Saints on a bye, I chose to focus my viewing attention on the Texans this week, for many reasons. Primarily, of course, I was interested to see game one of The Case Keenum Experiment and how that change affected the team. A brief writeup on the Texans’ last 24 hours, after the jump…
Week 5 NFL Line Predictions
Apologies for the late post, I won’t be able to make a detailed writeup since the games are on soon, so I’ll include most of my thoughts later this week in the recap. Here are my picks for week 5:
My SuperContest Picks, Week 7
For those of you not familiar with the Las Vegas Hilton SuperContest, it’s a… contest (note to self: buy a thesaurus) where entrants plunk down $5,000 at the beginning of the NFL season to join a pool to pick games against the spread. Each week, participants pick five games against point spreads published on Wednesday. […]
Week 4 Lines Recap; bring on the lol’s
Recommended lines: 1/5 Solid Leans: 3/6 Pretty terrible week to say the least, but lets go further and break it down.
Green Bay’s Running Game with Eddie Lacy
A talking point of many analysts right now is how the Packers will rebound with the Randall Cobb injury. A major point that many analysts are keying on is the running game that the Packers may have finally found. They’ve had a 100 yard rusher in 3 of their last 4 games, all 3 games […]

A look at Cam Newton against Arizona
One of the interesting questions of the early part of this season is “What is the problem with Cam Newton?” Cam is in his third season and is undoubtedly struggling. His bulk numbers are not good so far this season: Attempts: 127 Completion%: 57.5 Interceptions: 5 Interception%: 3.9 Yards/Attempt: 7.0 ANY/A: 4.67 Sack%: 10.6 All […]
Tuesday Armchair Quarterback: Week 4 Rankings
I’m sick this week, so the usual pomp and frills will have to be discarded in favor of a more straightforward ranking.
What should the Texans do?
Yesterday’s 23-20 overtime loss to Seattle was a microcosm of Gary Kubiak’s tenure in Houston: A mostly-well-executed bread-and-butter game combined with a failure to turn opportunities into points and a fatal predictability on offense that sabotaged the team in the most important moments of the game. It’s a pattern that’s been with Kubiak’s teams since […]
DeMarcus Ware: Transition from OLB to 4-3 DE
Monte Kiffin was hired by the Cowboys to be their Defensive Coordinator despite some red flags: He was 73 years old, and he’d been unimpressive at his last two stops at the University of Tennessee and University of Southern California. (To be fair, head coach Lane Kiffin was probably a much bigger cause of those […]
