I just hope they can win in Tampa (right now they are -3)...

Um, no. The Chargers are currently listed at +3 to +3.5 point underdogs. As predicted here.

While I'm confident this was just a typo on your part, Ben, I thought it best to make it clear.

Somehow I doubt the Broncos will lose to the Buffalo Bills, but then again the Broncos have found impressive ways to lose.

It takes a village of Broncos to tackle a Marshawn...

Yeah I saw that too. My apologies. I should have clarified and said that the Chargers were expected to lose by a FG.

Yes, but the Bills' defense isn't playing significantly better, and Champ Bailey and co. might have a field day with Edwards.

As bad as their run D is, their pass D is even worse.

27: Denver Broncos 233.3 Pass
26: Denver Broncos 140.1 Rush

They are giving up nearly 400 yards a game overall.

11: Buffalo Bills 203.4 Pass
19: Buffalo Bills 114.1 Rush

OFFENSE:

03 Denver Broncos 271.7
16 Denver Broncos 113.6

20 Buffalo Bills 195.5
15 Buffalo Bills 113.7

Bills and Denver match up with their rush offense, but the only real significant difference is their passing offense.

Denver has a slight yardage advantage, but if the Bill's pass defense can clamp down on Cutler, and if Trent Edwards can go to home on Denver's abysmal defense, then the Broncos are done.

You going to post the SD defense stats next?

I just don't see them as a losing team. They aren't. While they aren't 12-2 like the Titans, they should be 7-7 right now.

And could say the Bears should be 11-3 right now, because of those 3 close games early in the season that they lost in the last few minutes (or second), but they aren't. They're 8-6 because that's how they played. Just like the Chargers.

Seriously, Ben, what's with you not seeing ducks for what they really are?

Ah, if only first-pass statistical analysis meant a damn in analyzing sports...

That would be so sweet. I'd be rich from wagering.

Ducks? Have you switched to college football now?

I think it's funny that people don't like statistical analysis when it argues against their conclusions.

Stats are stats. They aren't the whole truth, but they are still there regardless.

Fixed.

[Tuberski]

ACK!

[Will9]

Some people say the most important stat in Football is turnovers, they are wrong. The most important stat in is the win-loss record.

I'm sick of the Cowboys.
I'm sick of the OL making the stupidest penalty in football, offensive offsides.
I'm sick of players who celebrate a tackle, even when losing, when that's their job.
I'm sick of the head coach who refuses to plant a size ten boot up a player's ass.
I'm sick of Tony Romo absolutely refusing to take leadership. At least, he had his damn ballcap on correctly tonight, not reversed like some punk. Maybe he'll lose that stupid-ass grin for a while.
I hope they lose next week, to better their draft position; so that maybe we can get enthusiastic players in here who know how lucky they are to be playing a game for a living.

Thank you, and now back to the regularly scheduled program.
