Saturday six-pack
Some NFL trends for Week 5
-- Carolina is 8-4 vs spread in last twelve home games.
-- Eagles covered of their last 15 after a bye.
-- Rams are 5-9 vs spread during their 14-game losing streak.
-- Tom Brady is 1-5 in his career against the Broncos.
-- Matt Schaub is 4-9 vs spread as a starter on the road.
-- 49ers are 4-0-1 vs spread in last five non-divisional home games.
================================================== ==========================================
Saturday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend.....
13) Now that the Angels have allowed only one run in first two games of their series, can they finish off the Red Sox?
12) Can Minnesota win one game against the Bronx Bombers? Can they get one marginal call from an umpire?
11) Will the Phillies and Rockies trade in their bats for snow shovels? What if there was a Colorado-Minnesota next year, when both had their outdoor stadiums? Moving the World Series to November is stupid.
10) Will the Cardinals regroup at home and challenge the Dodgers?
9) Can Michigan bounce back from last week's OT loss and beat Iowa?
8) Will being back in their preferred role as an underdog help Ole Miss play better than they have been when Alabama comes calling?
7) Can Florida State beat Georgia Tech and relieve some of the pressure on their venerable coach?
6) Will Tim Tebow play? Will he play well? Will Les Miles go for it on 4th down five times, like he did the last time the Gators visited?
5) Can any of the four double digit underdogs in the NFL win this week?
4) What if Eli Manning doesn't play and David Carr has to for Giants?
3) Can the Patriots go to chilly Invesco and hand Denver its first loss?
2) Will Tennessee challenge the Colts, or will they pack it in like they did in Jacksonville last week?
1) Losing coach in Washington-Charlotte game will be under fire bigtime. If the Panthers win, both coaches will be.
