I don\u2019t think Arian Foster will go off for 200-plus yards again but 100 or so seems reasonable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peyton Manning vs Eli Manning: Who will have more passing yards?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peyton Manning -50.5<\/p>\n<p>Eli Manning +50.5<\/p>\n<p>Free pick: <strong>Eli Manning +50.5.<\/strong> With the 50.5-point spread, this isn\u2019t an easy pick. On one hand, I expect the Giants to rely on the run game more. On the other, I think they\u2019ll fall behind and have to throw a bit in the second half. I see 250-plus yards for both Manning brothers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LaDainian Tomlinson vs Shonn Greene: Who will have more rushing yards vs Patriots?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tomlinson +10.5<\/p>\n<p>Greene -10.5<\/p>\n<p>Free pick: <strong>Tomlinson +10.5. <\/strong>Love this play. Even if Greene cures his fumbling problems and stays out of the dog house, I\u2019m not sure the Jets will run like crazy in this one. They could be trailing against Tom Brady and Mark Sanchez would then have to try dink-and-dunk check downs rather than handing off to Shonn Greene. I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll rack up too many yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many of these players (Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Jerome Bettis, Willie Roaf, Curtis Martin, Dick Vermeil) will get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on the first-year ballot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over 2.5: -200<\/p>\n<p>Under 2.5: +200<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Free pick\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/\">Free pick<\/a>: <strong>Over 2.5. <\/strong>At first, I leaned toward the UNDER as I figured Sanders and Faulk were the only locks to make it. But pairing Faulk with his Super Bowl-winning coach, Dick Vermeil, makes sense as a sentimental decision for Canton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a great start to our fantasy football player prop bets last week!
