With this type of production, though, comes raised expectations. Among the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s prop bets for Thursday night’s Colts-Texans game is over/under 91.5 receiving yards for the Houston wide receiver.

Indy dared Peyton Manning to beat their press-man coverage over top and could present much the same to Brady.

Vontae Davis has emerged over the past two years as an elite corner but the others are far more vulnerable....

Manneh, 22, is in the final year of his contract and if he re-signs with the Crew, Vancouver will also receive Columbus’ natural first round MLS SuperDraft selection in the immediately following draft.

So I’d tell everybody where to go. I’d give them a written invitation, and then I’d get on my bike and I’d zap down to our bar at Hudson and Dominic. It was this abandoned old wreck of a place–a longshoreman’s bar that I’d found as storage for my Harley, basically.
