The 100 reasons to hate Xbox http://snagwiremedia.com/consolepatrol/2008/03/... This is a video worth a 100 LOL's. As an owner of both an Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 I agree with a few of these reasons.
Texans vs. Colts http://www.inspin.com/nfl/texans-vs-colts-1972.... Colts -4 1/2 vs. Texans
No team is in more need to get back on track then the Indianapolis Colts. It is not that there season can’t be rescued, but if they don’t get their high powered offense back to dominant status, it definitely could be.
At 1-2, the Colts haven’t looked this bad to start the season since Peyton Manning was a rookie. It is not just that they look bad, but Manning is just not playing well thus far. Usually Manning is in command, controlling the offense and keeping the defense completely clueless, but he is really struggling coming back from being injured for the first time in his football career.
As for the Houston Texans, despite their 0-3 record, things are starting to come together. There first three games were against really tough opponents, (Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Jacksonville) especially on defense.
Last week against Jacksonville, the Texans finally were able to get their talented offense back on track. Even though they lost in overtime 27-30, Matt Schaub looked efficient for the first time this season tossing three touchdown passes.
With Peyton Manning taking the snaps for the Colts, Indianapolis always has a great chance of winning the game no matter who the opponent. Coming into the matchup against the Colts on Sunday, the Texans will give the Colts a run for their money, but Manning will get his team back to the .500 mark.

Denver vs. Tampa Bay http://www.inspin.com/nfl/denver-vs-tampa-bay-1... Broncos -4 vs. Bucs
A couple of weeks ago this game would have been no contest and an easy victory for a Broncos team that seemed destined to make a Super Bowl run. Denver could still be on its way to Tampa Bay, but after being kept relatively in check offensively against Kansas City last week, they could be in trouble.
Jay Culter could arguably be the best quarterback in the NFL right now. With Tom Brady out for the season and Peyton Manning not playing like Peyton Manning, Culter has the edge in my book. The guy just seems to make the right decision at the right time and is one of the most accurate quarterbacks ever to play the game. The problem is that his defense doesn’t back up the points the young quarterback puts on the board.
The Bucs on the other hand are winning pretty much under the radar. They are not all that great on offense (a lot of turnovers) and their defense isn’t all that special either, but they continue to beat good teams. First it was Chicago and then it was the Packers that fell victim to the Bucs. For some reason ex-Broncos quarterback Brian Griese has this team at 3-1 (3-0 since he took the starting job).
The Achilles heel for the Denver Broncos is their defense. They just can’t stop anyone right now despite having one of the best defensive players in the game in Champ Bailey. If Griese can keep the turnovers to a minimum and keep throwing touchdown passes like he has, the Bucs have a shot at pulling off the upset.
