Even so, some numbers speak for themselves. And with a fair degree of clarity, if not downright certainty. Some numbers to take into consideration are for NFL […]
If it’s Saturday, it’s time for Danielle Moinet. OK, any day works in that regard. The former Chicago Bliss defensive back of Lingerie Football fame has her NFL picks for Week 5.
