USAFL Week 8 Point Spreads

Week 7 Accuracy: 58% (7 out of 12. Colossus system failure.)

Season Accuracy: 71% (60 out of 84)

 

+01 Buffalo (1-6) at Kansas City (0-7)

The Chiefs could get first win, but it will be a squeaker.

+03 Washington (4-3) at Minnesota (3-4)

Look for an upset here. Both teams have prolific passing attacks. The Redskins have an average pass defense. The Vikings are the very worst in passing yards allowed although they are #1 in interceptions, picking up 13 so far.

+05 Dallas (2-5) at Baltimore (2-5)

This should be a close one. Both QBs will have plenty of time to hit receivers.

+05 Cleveland (2-5) at Chicago (1-6)

Browns losing streak extends to 5.

+06 Green Bay (7-0) vs Pittsburgh (6-1)

Packers' potent offense vs Steelers' shutdown defense.

+09 San Francisco (5-2) vs Philadelphia (2-5)

That's right. Colossus picks the 2 win over the 5 win. Go Eagles!

+10 Houston (1-6) vs Boston (4-3)

Patriots stay in the playoff mix behind Atlanta and Carolina.

+14 Detroit (2-5) vs New York (N) (6-1)

Giants and Steelers neck and neck for their division at 6-1.

+15 Atlanta (7-0) at San Diego (6-1)

Chargers are not winning by predicted margins. This will be closer than 2 touchdowns.

+16 Miami (3-4) at Cincinnati (3-4)

Bengals bounce back from loss at Atlanta.

+22 Oakland (5-2) vs Carolina (5-2)

Panthers are unexpectedly behind the Falcons by 2 games in division.

+33 New York (A) (1-6) at Denver (6-1)
Poor Jets. They need a QB.

USAFL Week 7 Point Spreads

Week 6 Accuracy: 92% (11 out of 12. Curse you San Fran!) Season Accuracy: 74% (53 out of 72)   +01 Oakland (4-2) at Buffalo (1-5) Very odd spread. But Colossus is 74%. +02 New York (A) (0-6) vs Houston (1-5) No so odd spread. +02 Denver (5-1) at Carolina (5-1) Game o' the Week. Bronco defense matches up well with Panther offense but going the other way, Carolina has a huge advantage. +03 Detroit (2-4) at Philadelphia (1-5) The Lions are schizophrenic, Colossus can't figure them out. +04 Kansas City (0-6) at Miami (2-4) The Chiefs might win 3 games, Dolphins 6. +04 Atlanta (6-0) vs Cincinnati (3-3) Hmm. Interesting. The Bengal defense matches up well with the strengths of the Atlanta offense. The Falcons have the edge when Cincinnati has the ball, can Carson Palmer & Co. pierce the arguably #1 pass defense the league. +05 Washington (4-2) vs Green Bay (6-0) The 49ers upset the Redskins last week, the Packers better watch out. +06 Boston (4-2) vs San Diego (5-1) Great game in Boston. Both are in bloody division races. +07 Cleveland (2-4) vs Baltimore (1-5) They'll be some passes thrown in this game, neither team has much of a running game. +11 Dallas (1-5) vs Minnesota (3-3) The Vikings have been upset twice but looks like they will win like their real counterparts did against Dallas Sunday.   +19 Chicago (1-5) at New York (N) (5-1) Giants enter a streak of 3 easier games, the Bears have a shot at a couple of wins...after this game. +23 San Francisco (5-1) at Pittsburgh (5-1) The 49ers have smacked Colossus with back to back upsets as double digit underdogs. This week Colossus has its revenge: No way Pittsburgh goes down.

USAFL Week 6 Point Spreads

Week 5 Accuracy: 58% (7 out of 12) Season Accuracy: 70% (42 out of 60) Four huge upsets this week. Carson Palmer threw 3 touchdown passes to lead the Cincinnati Bengals in a big upset over previously undefeated Denver Broncos, 28-7. The New York Giants slipped by division leader Pittsburgh Steelers 23-13 thanks to a risky 4th down attempt late in the game that failed by Pittsburgh when they were in field goal range. San Francisco stunned Minnesota in the final two minutes, winning 35-28. The Vikings were up by a point, moving the ball when QB Dree Brees checked down to backup RB Jeremi Johnson on a pass play on the 49ers 38 yard line. Johnson snags it at the 30 but Viking OLB Julian Peterson forces the ball out of his arms. DT Spencer Johnson spots the errant ball, picks it up and rumbles 70 yards for the winning touchdown with DBs bouncing off of him like peas thrown at a tank. Dallas mounted a HUGE 4th quarter comeback against Philadelphia to win 38-34. However, the win is marred by the mockery of competition by the Eagles. Down 34-17 with 6 minutes left in the game, Cowboy QB Jason Campbell throws 3 TD passes. But the Eagles called goalline defense several times in the final minutes against the Cowboys who were obviously in a constant passing situation. +01 Cincinnati (3-2) vs Boston (3-2) Can the Patriots extend their 3 game win streak? +06 Kansas City (0-5) vs Atlanta (5-0) Rather close spread for teams with zeros in opposite columns. +07 Baltimore (1-4) vs New York (N) (4-1) Raven's defense allows too many points. +10 Detroit (2-3) vs Pittsburgh (4-1) Steelers bounce back after upset to New York Giants. +12 Miami (2-3) at Oakland (3-2) The Raiders are hanging in there in division race vs Denver and San Diego +13 San Francisco (4-1) vs Washington (4-1) What are the 49ers doing at 4-1? What is up with that? +15 Chicago (1-4) vs Philadelphia (0-5) Zzzzz. +17 Dallas (1-4) at Green Bay (5-0) The Packers are the best team in the USAFL right now. +18 Cleveland (2-3) at Minnesota (2-3) Midseason gets easier for the Browns after this. Hang on. +21 Houston (1-4) vs Carolina (4-1) Predicted score 27-6. Ouch. +25 Buffalo (1-4) at Denver (4-1) Like the Browns, the Bills have a shot at wins the next 3 games after. +27 New York (A) (0-5) at San Diego (4-1)It hurts to see one of the best teams face one of the worst.
