Thursday NFL Notes

In the NFL exhibition season, I’m 3-1 and backing the Bears tonight at minus 3. This is contrary to what has occurred thus far in commish Roger Goodell’s pretend world of letting owner charge full price for these contests. (It’s not Jolly Roger’s fault, many before him let the precedent take hold) Home favorites are 7-23-3 against the spread, with the Over the best Totals play at 20-13.

The unfortunate death of Gene Upshaw is not good news for small market teams like Green Bay, Buffalo and Jacksonville, as rich, greedy owners make take this opportunity to really create labor unrest and abolish salary cap, leaving franchises like this in the dust instead of the larger viewpoint of what is best for the sport.
