By Stephen Nover Saints at Broncos Over 36 OK, so the Broncos don’t have a quarterback. It’s not unique. The Bears haven’t had one and now the Bengals don’t. The oddsmaker has acted accordingly dropping the total all the way down to 36. That’s low enough for me to make a pizza bet on the […]

These factors have hit Baylor hard this season reducing its effectiveness. I don’t see the Bears being able to hang within two TD’s of Iowa State. Baylor has lost […]
