When Rob Ryan was hired by the Dallas Cowboys and Jason Garrett to become their defensive coordinator, he was brash and boastful. He took the job and had no problem telling anyone who would listen just how good the Cowboys defensive players were. Ryan went so far as to brag the team had a top five defensive talent. We [...]
Who doesn’t like a good match up? Every week I am going to give my top four wins against the spread and tell you why. They won’t always be filled with stats but I don’t make my picks based solely on stats so I won’t start now. I love to talk match-ups and for anyone [...]
