Wow the lucky people of Toronto get to experience the glory that is the Washington Redskins in person.

Here we go, the schedule and spread

...and what a shitty Sunday it looks to be.  Only one early game with less than a touchdown in spread.

I like San Diego and New England to cover, and Dallas taking the points.  Dallas looked pretty decent against the Patriots I thought.

Let the Tebowing begin!

Hey the Skins-Bills game is going to be on in Austin.  It is always nice to be able to watch them lose on TV instead of my computer.

Gotta play those games sometime.  And Pats-Steelers & Cowboys-Eagles make up for it IMO.  Hell, even the Monday night game involving the Chiefs should be competitive.

Since I'm not making the trip to Seattle this weekend, I feel like I can prognosticate on the Bengals-Seahawks game:  take the points.  Bengals never win on the west coast.  I'd be happy to be wrong, though.

Timmy, can you stop just cross-posting shit from the SA football forums?

Classy move by Heap there. 



Sports Science did a thing with Arian Foster that goes along nicely with those combine numbers I came across earlier:

I really like the Foster/Tate combination the Texans have going on right now.  Hey they can also bring in Derrick Ward, who doesn't seem to suck either.  Too bad about Slaton.  If he had kept his rookie form (basically, if he hadn't taken that funky neck injury IMO), it would just be ridiculous.  Probably not enough carries to go around, but it'd be cool for a season, at least.

Downside is they're going to have to start paying these guys what they're actually worth.  I think Foster is on the last year of that UDFA contract he signed.  Less than $500,000 a season, IIRC. 

E:  Oh.  Andre Johnson won't be playing against the Jags.  So that sucks.

Good old Heap.  One of my favorites.

The local affiliates have outdone themselves this week.

FOX @ 10 AM Carolina @ Minnesota
CBS @ 10AM NY Giants @ Miami

CBS @ 1PM Cincinnati @ Seattle

  I guess there aren't many interesting early games today but what a load of crap.

[ulmont]

The carolina / minnesota game is probably the best early game, actually.  Only one with a spread less than a td IIRC.
