It wasn't dirty, but in fairness it's the same thing Wilfork got fined for last year (falling forward player on on him).

Yeah, the Pats won without one of the best QB in the league, and the Colts lost with one of the best QB in the league, I think the colts will be fine, Manning may just needed a game to get his "game legs" back.

and assuming Addai doesn't have a serious concussion that lasts all year, they'll be fine.

As for the Pats, yeah, Cassell has never looked good, but wasn't bad yesterday and I don't see Moss and Welker fumbling that often in a game.

Don't forget they still also have an easy schedule... 10-6 wouldn't shock me... but yeah, once the playoffs hit thats a different ball game...

ok, what is the difference between your "shoe-in" and your "lock" and what was the spread when you made those?

A friend of mine wanted Lions -3 this weekend, I liked the Falcons so rather then placing the bet I took it myself... nice getting the juice

Unless I'm really off the ball he was making a Simpsons reference.
