On The Radar–Week 15

Darren Sproles, RB, San Diego Chargers. Sproles has become a bigger part of the Chargers offense recently, especially last week in the blowout over the Raiders.

How the mighty have fallen!  I told all of you when we started picking these games that the Old Timer would probably not fare too well in this contest because there was no money involved.  Boy oh boy was that the prediction of all time.  The teacher is getting schooled by his students.  The man who taught us everything we know about sports and betting is wallowing in the cellar. …
