NFL Notes: Week 7
Wow, week seven was brutal. A lot of teams lost a lot of starters. And with that a lot teams ended they’re run for the playoffs and started they’re run for the number one draft pick. The only upside by all of this is that the chance to see Tebow just increased tenfold. Let’s see what else is noteworthy.

NLCS Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Los Angeles Dodgers (92-70) NLDS Overview: The Dodgers beat the Braves in 4 games.
