We warned about a difficult season in SPF land, but we didn't think the wheels would come off so fast for certain teams. The good news is with a few of our top teams. The Colts and Saints sit at 3-0 and look like potential Super Bowl contenders. The Falcons, the Cowboys, and the Bengals are all at 2-1 and though they all have a few chinks in their armor, their read more...
