Last week, 3-2 and 1-2, Season: sides 5-10, totals 4-2 (-4.2 units)
Sides: 3-2, 1-1, Season: sides 8-12, totals 5-3 (-3.5 units)

Reversion to the mean underway after an 0-5 start on Week 1, with the Detroit cover on Monday night as easy as it gets - the fumble return for a TD was never in doubt.....

Put the crack pipe down. Both Flacco and Eli make many more mistakes than Wilson.

I'm not going to do much research on this now but there is a reason why Flacco and Eli threw over 100 passes more than Wilson in 2014; over 150 more in 2013; and about 140 more in 2012.

Flacco was carrying a much weaker team in 2013? They were coming off a Super Bowl winning season. And what about 2012? THEY won the Super bowl; yet his numbers paled in comparison. THe QB rating takes everything into account. Passing yardage is a flawed stat because losing teams are always throwing; often against prevent defenses.

The fact is that Wilson plays on an island out in the Northwest, and doesn't get the publicity that the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network loves to fawn on players in NY, Boston, Baltimore and Philly.
