Looking for my fifth consecutive week with a winning record against the spread. Miami-Carolina can get me off to a fast start on Thursday night. Both teams will be missing crucial offensive weapons, with Miami’s Ronnie Brown and Carolina’s Jordan Gross each suffering season-ending injuries ...

Here are some notable injuries from the initial Week 11 injury report, with some notes on how each could affect the games at hand. + The Dolphins-Panthers Thursday nighter was, at the very least, shaping up to be a matchup of two of the best running backs in the game. Now, it’s shaping up ...

1. New Orleans Saints Last week: 1 I warned last week that I felt a bad loss or two was coming, and I almost looked like a genius. The Saints are struggling to put teams away with their secondary banged up. That’s why I love the signing of Chris McAlister , who will bring a ...

Only in Cincinnati can a head coach struggle with a franchise as long as Dick Jauron did with the Buffalo Bills while keeping his job. That’s precisely why I feared that Marvin Lewis’ newfound success this year with the Bengals would further entice Bills owner Ralph Wilson to keep one of the ...

It’s been a dark season for Tennessee Titans fans, but second-year running back Chris Johnson still has a chance to make it a memorable one. With his 132 rushing yards Sunday against Buffalo, Johnson became just the third player in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards and average 6.4 ...

A magical three-week run for the Goal-Line Stand came to a bit of a halt on Sunday. I was 9-5 straight up and 6-4-4 against the spread, hoping that the Browns can keep it close on Monday evening. My picks are only for fun, but if you like to lay a few bucks down here or there, The Score’s ...

I hate saying this because, let’s face it, it’s cliché, but Sunday night’s prime time drama between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts is why the NFL is the greatest game in North America. It would be hard to find a human being, let alone a sports fan, who wouldn’t have been ...

They say television drives sports. So if television could talk (deliberately, smart asses), what would it say? In the case of sports, it already has. And it’s asked for the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots, preferably together in one place. How do we know this? Look no ...

It’s hard to believe we’re already at the midway point of the 2009 season. I’m actually getting a little depressed; we’re only 14 weeks away from NASCAR and the Vancouver Olympics taking over for North America’s new favourite pastime. So let’s enjoy football while it’s still kicking (get ...

Another solid Sunday for the Goal-Line Stand, at least against the spread (7-3-2). Strangely, I only went 7-5 straight up. The Steelers can help improve on those numbers tonight. As of right now, I’m actually a mildly respectable 85-43 (58-54-16 against the spread). Until three weeks ago, it ...

No one predominant theme to this week’s column. Just going to ramble on about a few trends and storylines from the Sunday that was. Naturally, if it bleeds it leads. But there was no blood Sunday, so controversy takes the top spot. CARDS SHOULD TRADE BOLDIN Yes, I know that can’t happen ...

What’s that? A record of 14-7-5 against the spread the last two weeks? Maybe this isn’t a lost cause after all. But before I get too cocky, maybe I should focus on keeping the ball rolling in Week 9, where there are a ton of games that could go either way. It’s a gimme for the Falcons, at ...
