The Sports Fixation

 The Bills came into this divisional game 8-3 and were looking for their first win in their division this season.  The Patriots came into this game 6-5 and were looking to keep in good standing for the playoffs.  The Bills were favored by 4 points and the Patriots were getting 4 points respectively.  (Bill Sanders, Getty Images) The first quarter started out flat for the Bills as they were able to compile a 9 play 37 yard drive that settled for a field goal from Tyler Bass .  When the Patriots got the ball back they went straight to work compiling a methodical drive that went for 75 yards and was capped off by a 48 yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to Marcus Jones.  At the end of the first quarter, the score was 7-3 Patriots. The second quarter had the bills awaken as they were able to keep the Patriots off the score board while compiling good offensive drives.  The Bills kicked off the second quarter with a 82 yard drive that ended with a 8 yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Stef

 Week 9 of the NFL season kicked off with the Texans playing the Eagles.  Coincidentally, this game was being played at the same time that World Series game 5 between the Astros and Phillies was being played in Houston.  The Eagles came into this game red hot at they were undefeated boasting a record of 7-0.  The Texans came into this game on the opposite end of the spectrum being 1-5-1.  Due to their contrasting records, the Eagles were favored by -14.5 points and their Moneyline was only paying 1.1x your money.  (ESPN, Sam Smith) The Texans started out strong running the ball well on their first drive which went for a total of 75 yards and was capped off by a two yard touchdown pass from Davis Mills to rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano .  This was the first time that the Texans were able to score any points on their opening drive all year.  But the red hot Eagles were able to respond on their opening drive gashing the Eagles on the ground and the air capping off the 18 play drive wi

 The Ravens came into this game with a record of 4-3 compared to the Bucs that had a record of 3-4.  The Bucs were favored by 2 points while the Ravens were getting 2 points.  Both teams came into this matchup with significant injuries, the Bucs secondary was extremely banged up and they were missing a majority of their starting cornerbacks.  The Ravens came into the game with there d-line weakened as Calais Campbell was out for the game.  (Dane Arakulus, AS USA) No one was quite sure how this game would turn out as indicated by the low spread because the Ravens have blown 4th quarter leads recently and despite having 3 losses they have only trailed for a minute and 27 seconds the whole season.  The Bucs have also had their problems this season, a flurry of injuries on the offensive line have caused the Bucs to be ranked dead last in rushing yards per game in the NFL.  This combined with poor receiver play and a distracted Tom Brady has the teams offense playing extremely poorly.  (B

 One of the better prime time games of the year took place this past Monday night when the Raiders took on Chiefs at GEHA Field.  The Chiefs went into the game as the clear favorites as they were favored by seven points and the Raiders were getting seven points.  The Raiders came into the game 1-3 as they have struggled to use their weapons on offense effectively and they have been shown to have a vulnerable defense. Meanwhile, the Chiefs came rolling into the game 3-1 and they looked like the Chiefs from years past even though they lost one of their best offensive weapons in Tyreek Hill in the offseason.  The Chiefs were able to show that their offense can adapt without Hill and they can still be just as successful when using superstar tight end Travis Kelce who scored 4 touchdowns this game.  (Jay Biggerstaff, USA Today Sports) The Raiders were able to get off to a fast start at the beginning of the game when they scored the first touchdown.  With the ball near mid field the Raiders

 This past Sunday the New England Patriots took on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.  The Patriots were favored -3 points before kickoff and the Steelers were getting 3 points respectively.  The game itself was essentially a coin flip on who would win it do to glaring issues that both teams had.   (Don Wright, Associated Press) The Steelers had more injuries on their roster as several key players had injuries that affected their performance or kept them out of the game such as current reigning Defense Player of the Year LB TJ Watt. Both teams had very questionable coaching that was evident in the first game of the season.  The Patriots struggled offensively against the Dolphins in week 1 and this shinned a light on the fact that Bill Belichick decided not to have an offensive coordinator officially announced.  The Steelers also had their struggles on offense week 1 and the loss to the Patriots only further put their offensive coordinator Matt Canada in the hot seat as player
