For years, pro football has been the sports leader when it comes to parity. Pete Rozelle was credited with, “On any given Sunday any team can beat another.” You say, “Wait a minute — the Saints and Colts started 16-0 SU/11-5 ATS. Where’s the parity?” How about four wins by the Colts of 4 points or less? They didn’t lose a game in the first half of the season, but were far from dominant.

Like a giant leak on a sinking ship, one of the first signs of a poor pro football team is weak run defense. Stopping the run is essential to building a championship team.

Did they win? Or cover? No, as Minnesota won 30-23.

The most obvious explanation and it’s obvious: 2 turnovers. Turnovers are one of the most basic fundamentals of winning football, both straight up and against the number when analyzing football picks.

2009 Playoffs – NBA Predictions – Who’s In…Out?

Figuring out where it all went wrong for the Suns this season is like examining the McCain-Palin campaign. A mid-season coaching change and a complete offensive makeover haven’t been able to staunch the bleeding in the desert, and when the Western Conference regular-season music stops in a little over a week, the Suns will be the ones without an NBA playoff chair.
