If you were wondering when the AFC would right itself, mark down Sunday, Oct. 14 (aka Week 6 of the NFL season) as that day. The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) and New England Patriots (4-2) emerged as the class of the conference after early stumbles in September. Still, as impressive as their wins were, neither could […] More

A few games even have major national implications. In these games, do recent trends figure to continue, or are the current situations enveloping these games so different that […] More
Back to even on the year. My last two college football teasers have been losers, and now I’m trying to avoid a reverse turkey after winning three in a row earlier in the year. Last week, the Navy Midshipmen let me down as the triple option didn’t have much success against Air Force. They managed […] More

While the rest of the league gets underway on Sunday and Monday, we’ve already got some Week 7 to look-ahead lines to ponder: Related: […] More
