The Gridiron Spotlight<\/strong><\/o:P><\/p>\n

Matt Millen has finally been fired as Lions GM, while Plaxico Burress has been suspended by the NY Giants for insubordination.

The biggest surprise of the NFL season so far?<\/span> It just might be the play of the Bills, who sit alone atop the AFC East with a 3-0 record; Buffalo<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> has moved from 60\/1 to 18\/1 odds on the Vegas Super Bowl futures list. The new title favorites are the Cowboys, who are at 3\/1, with the Colts at 6\/1, and the Chargers at 8\/1. The Patriots opened as the 5\/2 Super Bowl favorites, but their early-season issues have dropped them to 15\/1.<\/p>\n
