Thursday update

Looks like Porter will be out 4-6 weeks. It will be interesting to see if any opponents can capitalize on his absence. As the season progresses, however, this may make their defense more formidable as it will have some experience playing without it's best player.

I like the Redskins over the Jets tonight. Call it a bias against New York, though a part of me wants to pick the Jets as a thank you for winning the last week of last season and allowing the Browns to sneak into the playoffs. Nevertheless, the Jets lost a lot of players and just don't seem to be in line for a good season. The Redskins are a big wildcard too, however, so it should be a fun game to watch.

The Browns are favored by a point Sunday. That's surprising, isn't it? Anyway.... even though Verba is gone, I think the Browns will be able to run the ball Sunday.
