Midseason NFL Awards: Portis or Brees for MVP?
We’re already coming up on November and the halfway point of the 2008 NFL season, and what a season it’s been so far.

Playing the Odds: NFL Week 6
Guess who’s back?
The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had a decent [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 4
As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and [...]
Best in the NFL? Look no further than the NFC East
I’m waiting until after at least next week to start any sort of NFL power rankings, simply because I wanted to see how everyone did in the first month or so of the season before really making any judgments one way or another as to who the best of the best is.

Week 3 of the NFL season offers up a lot of potentially entertaining matchups, from Green Bay and Dallas meeting in a matchup of two of the NFL’s best, to Brett Favre making his first Monday night appearance as a Jet in San Diego, and many, many more.

Through the first couple of weeks of the NFL season, a number of contenders have gotten off to [...]
Texans’ Okoye could be this season’s rising star
Mario Williams, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2006 draft, proved to be arguably the NFL’s biggest breakout defensive player last year (OK, maybe San Diego’s Antonio Cromartie has an argument), and one of Williams’ Houston Texans teammates might be the rising defensive star of 2008.
Amobi Okoye, who only turned 21 a few weeks [...]
Alge Crumpler in ‘heaven’ with Young, Titans
The Tennessee Titans signed veteran tight end Alge Crumpler in the offseason to give Vince Young a reliable aerial target. According to Matt Severance, the acquisition is already paying off well for both sides.
Roosevelt Colvin a nice late pickup for Texans
It’s rare a team can acquire a starting-caliber player in June from the free-agent market, but that’s what the Houston Texans believe they have done in signing former Patriots linebacker Rosevelt Colvin.
Colvin, 30, is a 10-year NFL veteran with 52 1/2 sacks and will join the Texans as a complement to defensive end Mario Williams. [...]
