OUCH!Pretty much across the board, NFL teams are feeling the pain from key players getting hurt. Pro Picks was damaged by some of those injuries in Week 2, as well.On Thursday night, a team likely down to its third-string quarterback, a rookie no less, takes on a club that in the offseason signed its new QB to a sweet $72 million, four-year contract.Yep, the Patriots figure to have third-round selection Jacoby Brissett behind center with Jimmy Garoppolo mending his injured right shoulder and Tom Brady suspended for two more weeks. Houston counters with Brock Osweiler, who has looked pretty good in his first two outings as a Texan.Yet New England (tied for first in AP Pro32 with Pittsburgh) is a mere 1-point underdog to Houston (No. 7, AP Pro32). Thats a testament to how tough the Patriots are at Foxborough.Maybe Texans coach Bill OBriens familiarity with the Patriots system after having coached there for five seasons, two of which ended in Super Bowl defeats, will help. After all, this is a guy who slept at Gillette Stadium during his time working there.No question when I was quality control coach, I definitely had a couple nights there, OBrien says. (Josh) McDaniels had me breaking down all kinds of film. (Bill) Belichick had me breaking down all kinds of film. I had to get the job done.The oddsmakers figure his team will get it done this week with no Tom Terrific, no Jimmy G and maybe no Gronk -- All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski has yet to play this season because of a hamstring issue. Sure seems like a good spot to pick the visitors.Nope.PATRIOTS, 21-20KNOCKOUT LEAGUE TIPThe Panthers kept us breathing, and now we look to the DOLPHINS to do the same.No. 31 Chicago (plus 7 1-2) at No. 17 DallasDa Bears look like Da Worst in NFC.BEST BET: COWBOYS, 24-10No. 11 Baltimore (minus 1) at No. 29 JacksonvilleJust a feeling the Jaguars will bounce back from San Diego debacle.UPSET SPECIAL: JAGUARS, 26-20No. 3 Denver (plus 4) at No. 10 CincinnatiDenver defense was dynamic at home.

Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. Fredy Guarin Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. The Toronto Argonauts 2012 season was pretty magical. The team came from nowhere, having finished last in the East the season prior, to push into the playoffs on way winning the historical 100th Grey Cup in their own backyard. Its a great story – the Argos the toast of the town in a city starved for a winner – but one head coach Scott Milanovich doesnt want to hear, at least not anymore. Milanovich made it clear that as great as 2012 was, the past is just that and the focus now is on 2013. “Im very anxious to turn the page,” Milanovich told reporters ahead of training camp. But while the coach knows complacency is the enemy for his current squad, hes also aware it would benefit his players to carry over some of the lessons learned on their path to Grey Cup victory.dddddddddddd “This is a team that knows it can compete at the highest level. I think there were times last year when we believed we could but now they know it. “We dont want to wash that out because some of the best things that came from it was how tight our locker room was, the way we embraced practice and coaching and how we did our day-to-day business. Those things you want to keep. What you want them to forget is the last thing they remember from last year because it doesnt matter. “That has no effect, really, on whats going to happen this year.” So, at coach Milanovichs urging, lets forget last year and focus on the Argos upcoming season.
