Instead of shackling one of their few remaining star players with yet another franchise tag, the team has announced they will let all-pro linebacker Karlos Dansby test the free agent market. Is Ken Wisenhunt’s run of success with the losingest team in NFL history coming to an end? What can the Cardinals do to stem the tide of lost... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2010-02-20T17:47:48-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14779 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/vikings/14779 Ray Edwards, the other Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end, railed against the NFL Commissioner, the NFLPA and his fellow Vikings in heated comments made to the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Tuesday. Edwards, one of many NFL players who would normally be an unrestricted free agent this year, but due to the current breakdown in labor talks finds himself waiting another two years to potentially cash... mike@runemasterstudios.com (MikeBullock) NFL 2010-02-19T16:12:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14752 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/nfl/14752 After struggling with my NFL picks against the point spread the last several weeks, I was 2-0 on Conference Championship weekend, correctly picking the Colts to cover the spread and for the Vikings-Saints game to go Over the total. It’s still a little early to start breaking down Super Bowl XLIV between the Colts and Saints, but we do know that the Colts are favored by about 4 and the over/under...

Over the past 34 seasons, only 8 Super Bowls have featured the top seed from each conference. The last time it happened was when the Dallas Cowboys beat the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVIII following the 1993 regular season. History... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Considering the Pack was down 17-0 and 31-10 late, it’s amazing that this game ended tied at 45 heading to overtime. Seems a lot of money, from both the public and the wise guys, was on Green Bay. Hopefully you had the Over. A few... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

As bad as Cleveland was, they were actually 10-6 against the spread. As good as Indianapolis was, they were only 3-5 against the spread at home. But overall they were...

They've won 5 of 6 with Vince Young at the helm and will have a raucous holiday home crowd for a TV night game. But it still seems like the wrong team is favored. The Chargers have won 9 in a row and might seem due to drop a game even... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Should be some positive energy in the building tonight following the departure of Vinny Cerrato. Longtime divisional battle should tough and tight in the cold. I could see Washington winning this outright, but take the points. Even if the Giants win I... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

First, there wasn’t even a point spread posted for a few days since no one’s really sure if the Colts are going to play all out to win or if they’ll ease off the gas and start resting some players. Sure, head coach Jim Caldwell says they’ll play... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Arizona protected Kurt Warner against a great Vikings defensive line, and was able to pressure the QB against a good offensive line. Expect more of the same tonight against a lesser opponent as the Cardinals can clinch the NFC west with a victory. Dont be... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

That's a lot of movement and obviously everyone's betting on the Under because of the weather reports and more running if it's windy and no Hines Ward, etc etc.... but i gotta go with the Over. I dont trust either team to take a side against the point spread with this one, so i'll go... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

The Ravens have lost a lot of close games too good teams, so I think they are a bit better than their record. Green Bay is certainly solid and capable of winning, but I think...

Should be an electric atmosphere in the Superdome. I think the Patriots are the play here. They're only getting 1.5 points, but it seems the Saints are overdue for a loss and they've sorta struggled to cover the spread against some bad teams in recent weeks. New England has played in big games and could be... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Pat White could pick up some of Brown’s wildcat snaps, and he is a legitimate passing threat (who also happens to have blazing speed if he keeps it). The Dolphins are well coached, and their losses have come against Indy, New Orleans, San Diego, and New England. On the... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Ugly game for Monday Night Football. Baltimore has been up and down this year as they are now 4-4 after starting 3-0. But their losses are to Minnesota, New England, and Cincinnati (twice). Those are good teams. The Browns are not a good team. I wont blame you for staying away from betting on the Ravens giving such a high number on the road in a divisional revenge...
