Indianapolis Colts (-3) over Houston Texans
The Colts haven’t won a game yet at Lucas Oil Stadium (0-2). I know they aren’t playing there this week, but I want to talk about their new home; specifically, what should the nickname be? Apparently, “The Luke” is out of the question because of a previous lawsuit [...]

Micah’s Week 5 NFL picks

By Micah Warren

Tampa Bay Bucs (+3) at Denver Broncos
I like the Bucs here because I hate that Broncos defense. I’m not sure how you can lose to team like Kansas City and still hold your head high. When you lose to KC, you should lower your head in shame for an entire week. But, the [...]

Perry’s Power 12

By Mike Perry

1 New York Giants: The New York Giants cruised passed the bye to remain 3-0 atop the NFC East. Putting them number one is a simple math equation. The NFC East is the best division in football (arguably, but c’mon it is). The undefeated Giants beat the Redskins who just beat the Cowboys who everyone [...]

Perry’s Power 12

By Mike Perry

1 Dallas Cowboys: Still the team to beat. In back-to-back weeks the Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers, arguably two of the best teams in the NFC. Dallas’ first round pick (22nd overall) Felix Jones is a legitimate threat to take it to the house every time [...]

Here are my picks for Week 3 in the NFL. If you don’t take out every ounce of equity that you have in every single property you own to bet based on my picks, you are dumb.

Carolina (+3) at Minnesota:
I think I’m going with Carolina here. Yes, Gus Frerotte makes the offense better [...]
