The team has 6 guys who are averaging 10 or more points per game, the club is averaging 111.4 points per game and field goals at 50% and 3-pointers at 40%!
Okay, if you picked the Bears—they did not cover! If you picked the Chargers—they did not cover! Although one of two NFL favorites won on Sunday and one of two won on Saturday—none of them covered! Continue reading “NFL Division Contests-Alive and Kicking”
