NFL Week 7 Early Leans & Stats of the Week
0-4 on NFL again last week and I’m definitely blaming commie roundball, which was profitable. I’m pretty sure minor league mascots could do a better job picking games at this point.
1) Why certain teams are winning (via Lombardi). Last night was the fourth consecutive game the Denver Broncos defense has held an opponent to zero third-down conversions in the second half (23 attempts). The Broncos have allowed only two second-half third-down conversions this season.
2) After giving up over 600 yards rushing in their first three games, the Texans have allowed only 45 yards/game in their last three outings.
3) Sunday was the first time in two years the Chiefs and Raiders won on the same day.
4) Browns quarterbacks since 2004: Jeff Garcia, Kelly Holcomb, Luke McCown, Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey and Bruce Gradkowski.
5) Derek Anderson’s career completion percentage is 53.5. Chad Pennington is the all-time leader at 66.1%. Jamarcus Russell for his career is at 51.8.
6) The New England Patriots are 11-0 at home in snow games.
7) The Minnesota Vikings were outgained by their opponents for the 3rd straight week (448-426). Their offense (2nd in the league in scoring) has been remarkably consistent. They have had no fewer than 18 first downs and 27 points in every game this season, and have only turned the ball over four times.
8) Adrian Peterson is the only running back averaging over 100 yards/game (104). Big, bright shining star Visanthe Shiancoe is tied with Larry Fitzgerald for the league lead in receiving touchdowns with 5.
9) Aaron Rogers was sacked 5 times versus the Lions. He’s now been sacked 25 times in 5 games, 6 more than any other QB.
10) (Via TMQ) New Orleans has scored on their opening drive in every game this season.

I decided to take GB -7 @ Cleveland yesterday looking at the lines….and now I’ve just learned that 10 Cleveland players have the flu, including the trainer! I also have GB in a teaser with NYG….all before the game was taken off the board this morning. I run good!
