Felger’s Week 3 Report Card

Michael Felger — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:49:06 +0000

The story of the season so far, in my opinion, has been the Patriots defense. I mean, how are they doing it? On Sunday against Atlanta, the Pats threw out a starting lineup that had career backup Jarvis Green on the defensive line, undrafted 2008 free agent Gary Guyton at middle linebacker, career backup (mostly) Tully Banta-Cain [...]

NFL Picks: Week Three

Jon Scott — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:27:03 +0000

Another week of picks. I went 7-9 against the spread last week and hope to turn that around this week. Note I make the picks with who I think will win, not necessarily to cover, so the end result is actually more satisfying, because all that matters in the postseason is wins and losses. Still that’s no way to [...]
