Last week I talked about recognizing that the NFL season is in full swing by noticing the changes going on from team to team.  This week the focus is on injuries.  And really it’s on injured QBs to be exact.  Seems like every other team’s QB has issues this year.  Can they be overcome?  Only time will tell.  Here’s a look at some spot starts and rare benches in week 6!

Wow, I had back to back winning weeks.  Once again I had trouble with Sunday and Monday night’s games but I finished the week at 7-5-2.  It sure helped that Houston and Baltimore rolled over late.  My total for the year has run to 41-31-3.  In looking at week 6, I see trouble brewing.  Games just seem hard to forecast this week.Sportsbook
