If the Colts want to beat the Texans in Chuck Pagano's return, they'll need to outscore them. Andrew Luck's tremendous record on third-and-long could definitely help. Cover Watch looks at the Arizona Cardinals defense.

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters are officially here. Use this thread to start discussing the players who are in and out of the Pro Bowl. Have fun complaining about the snubs, and remember that most of those guys will end up getting invited anyway because players who are sick of going will beg out with meaningless injuries while other players will get pulled because they make the Super Bowl.

Russell Wilson knows which team is now number one in the Football Outsiders DVOA ratings. But how much does that home crowd mean to a team that will likely need three road wins to make the Super Bowl? NOTE: Now with corrected WEIGHTED DVOA numbers.

Surprise! The top eight teams in Football Outsiders' DVOA ratings remain exactly the same as last week, just with this year's big four packed tighter together. And by "big four," we mean four of the top 20 teams of the last 20 years.

Chris Johnson had a 94-yard run last night. He still shows that dynamic speed when he gets loose. The Titans should cut him after the season anyway. Vince Verhei explains why.

Thanks to Chase Stuart for pointing out on Twitter this excellent piece from a Denver Broncos blog outlining the way the Broncos are using Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller this year. The suggestion here is that Dumervil's personal sack totals are down because his speed rushes are meant to effect the offense's blocking schemes, which frees things up for Miller as well as the other linemen.
