Interesting...thanks! That means away favorites and home dogs are a combined 0-6 both SU and ATS, if my math is correct.

[Taxman]

That is correct....

The play would be Detroit on Thanksgiving and Atlanta in Week 15.

The NFL season wears hard on these guys, i just can't imagine the wear and tear on the D especially in a 10 day period. I think that Oakland has good WR speed and Palmer didn't even play the first 7 weeks. He's starting slow, but he is capable of having above average stats once he gets the rust off and develops some chemistry with one of these guys. Additionally, Bush is trying to punch his meal ticket. Once DMF comes back he knows he'll be in a back-up role. I like when guys are hungry to get paid, i'll take a full TD on this one. Oak +7
