If the Houston Texans have any designs on winning the AFC South for the first time in franchise history, then they must do something on Sunday that they have never done: win in Indianapolis. The Colts, who have won 16 regular-season games in a row, are 8.5-point favorites on WagerWeb.com. In fact Houston is just 1-13 all-time against the Colts, although they led both games last year before letting Indy rally. But fortune seems to be smiling on Houston... [Read more]
The last time the Cardinals and Bears met it was 2006, but you know doubt remember more about what happened after the game than during it: Arizona led then-unbeaten Chicago 23-3 but allowed the Bears to score three fourth-quarter TDs to win 24-23. That brought about this famous quote from the Cardinals coach at the time, Dennis Green: “You want to crown them, go ahead and crown their asses,” he said, his voice rising. “But they are...

Some things just can’t be explained in life, and one of them has to be why Alabama struggles so much with LSU at home: The Tide are 3-10 in their past 13 home games against the Tigers and have lost four straight in Tuscaloosa in this rivalry. Oddsmakers at WagerWeb.com don’t much care, as Bama is a 7.5-point betting favorite. The Tide were scuffling a bit in their past few games but got a needed week off last week. LSU enters off a pasting of... [Read more]
The loser of Saturday’s Ohio State-Penn State game can kiss a Big Ten title and BCS bowl goodbye, with the Buckeyes still controlling their own destiny in the conference (i.e. still to play Iowa, which beat PSU and thus owns the tiebreaker over the Nittany Lions). Penn State is a 5-point favorite on WagerWeb.com. History says the home team will win here, because that has happened in 12 of the 16 meetings since Penn State joined the Big Ten. However,...

Wisconsin is back in the Top 25 after a few weeks out of the polls, but the Badgers are just playing for bowl position at this point with the Big Ten title out of reach. Indiana would love to get bowl eligible, but the Hoosiers have to win two of their final three games after choking away a game last week to Iowa. The Badgers are 10.5-point betting favorites on WagerWeb.com. They have won four in a row in this series and have outscored Indiana 140-40... [Read more]
The Arizona Cardinals offense has been very inconsistent this year. Sure, that’s easy to blame a running game that ranks dead last in the NFL, but a big part of it has been star WR Anquan Boldin’s nagging injuries. Because he is not the big threat he was last year (only one TD so far in 2009), teams are doubling Larry Fitzgerald and simply daring Arizona to beat them on the ground. Fitzgerald is averaging less than 11 yards per catch, nearly 4... [Read more]
