Why the Arizona Cardinals could beat the Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are the best team in the NFC, right? They’re undefeated, Cam Newton’s a great leader, their defense is tough... But not so fast. I’m not talking about the idiotic point spread on the Cowboys’ game (more on that below), I’m talking about the...

Will Patriots Stay Undefeated? NFL Week 11 Betting Odds and Preview

Are the Green Bay Packers history?
You could have said Green Bay hit a tough stretch on the road. You could have said they played two of the best defenses in the NFL. You could have said a lot of things, right up until the point where the 6-2 Packers couldn’t manage to beat the 1-7 Detroit Lions. At...
