Buffalo Beats Struggling Carolina

Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme is having a season he’d like to forget, and things got even worse on Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills. Despite dominating the Bills on the stat sheet, Delhomme threw three interceptions that allowed Buffalo to take a 20-9 victory over the struggling Panthers. Delhomme threw for 325 yards, though without any touchdowns. The Panthers dropped to 2-4 while the Bills improved to 3-4.

Buffalo rewarded NFL pointspread players with the outright victory as +7 road underdogs. The Bills have covered four of their seven games this season, while the Panthers have an awful record against the spread-they’ve only covered once this season for a 1-5 ATS mark. The 29 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 37.

The Bills’ Terrell Owens was again a non-factor, but gave credit to the defense for earning the victory:

“You can’t really complain about a win. Defensively, those guys are keeping us in ballgames.”

Buffalo defensive end Chris Kelsay commended his team’s confidence on the road:

“Never once on the sidelines was there any doubt that we were going to win the game. Regardless if it’s an ugly win over not, it’s hard to win in this league.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick started at QB for Buffalo in place of the injured Trent Edwards and was solid, if not spectacular. Coach Dick Jauron observed:

“He made the plays when we had to make them.”

Panthers’ coach John Fox has said he’s going to’re-evaluate’ whether the struggling Delhomme should continue to start, and even the quarterback himself couldn’t make an emphatic case that he should keep his job:

“In my heart, yeah, but I mean let’s be honest, I don’t think I’m a dummy. When you’re not playing well offensively, you always have to look at the quarterback.”

The Panthers’ schedule doesn’t get easier this week as they head west for a game against the improving Arizona Cardinals. Carolina is a +9 road underdog with the total set at 43′. They’ll head south the following week to face the red hot New Orleans Saints before returning home on November 15 to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Buffalo will host the Houston Texans this weekend, with the game currently off the board due to injuries on both teams. They’ll have their bye week after that and will return to action on November 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

Discover The Necessary Buzzwords From Dietary Science

 

A great deal of research is presently being conducted in the field of nutrition. Many necessary and imperative nutrients that were unspecified in the past are now being discovered. Consequently, there are a lot of dietary buzzwords in the up-to-date literature that one may not recognize such as phytonutrients, polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins and Omega fatty acids.

Everybody is familiar with protein, fat and carbohydrates as they are just the necessary classifications of food. Break them down and there are the significant vitamins such as A, C, E, D, E and the B complex and the essential minerals such as calcium, zinc, chromium and magnesium. But science has found that there are also hundreds of “micronutrients”. These are nutrients that are essential in slighter quantities but are still crucial. This would include the phytonutrients, polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins and Omega fatty acids.

A phytonutrients is a non-vitamin, non- mineral, naturally occurring part of foods that offers noteworthy health benefits. Crucial types of phytonutrients include polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins and phytoestrogens.

Did you know that polyphenols are a substance that acts as an antioxidant? This collection of nutrients was once acknowledged as vitamin P. They have anti-inflammatory properties and they are antiallergenic. You can discover polyphenols in berries, tea, red wine, and dark chocolate, coffee, pomegranates and more.

The orange-red pigment that is so familiar in nature and found in red, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as pumpkin, carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes and tomatoes is called Carotenoids. Carotenoids convert to vitamin A in the body, as they are a vitamin A precursor. Carotenoids can guard us from cancers and the destructive effects of aging.

Anthocyanins are the deep blue to purple pigment that gives blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, red cabbage and more their deep, vivid colors. Anthocyanins can provide possible health effects against aging and neurological diseases, cancers, inflammation, diabetes and bacterial infections based upon laboratory evidence.

Omega Fatty Acids are referred to as essential fatty acids because our bodies cannot produce them and we must receive them from our diets. They include Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. We need a valuable ratio of 1:1 for these vital fats, yet the contemporary diet provides excessive Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3. Therefore, we need to supplement or deliberately get Omega 3 from our diets. Omega 3 Fatty Acids are crucial for healthy cell membranes, and they are critically important for the good development of the eyes, a strong cardiovascular system and a high functioning immune system.

There are more and more benefits that are being discovered about these vital micronutrients every day. In order to get these decisive nutrients in your diet you need to eat a array of nourishing foods every day.

While it is not a miracle food the acai berry can still be an incredible addition to your healthy diet. The nutrients within this amazing berry can protect your body from damage from free radicals, which in turn will help prevent diseases and it can support your weight loss goals because of the outstanding nutritional benefits.

Cincinnati Rips Chicago

 

Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1′ home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3.

A happy Benson described his feelings after the win:

“Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff.”

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

“I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I’m not shoving anything in anybody’s face. Like I say, it wasn’t a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities.”

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

“There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling.”

Bengals’ receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

“I don’t understand why it went this way today and why it didn’t go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do.”

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

“That was pretty embarrassing. It’s embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do.”

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They’ll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are -13′ home favorites with the total set at 40. They’ll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

Cards Drop Giants Behind Tenacious Defense

 

After a slow start to the 2009 NFL season, last year’s Superbowl runner up Arizona Cardinals may have turned the corner. On Sunday they used a tenacious defense to force four New York Giants’ turnovers and went on to upset their hosts 24-17. The Cards’ potent offense of last year still hasn’t regained form, but their defense is picking up the slack. Arizona improved to 4-2 with the victory while the Giants dropped to 5-2.

NFL pointspread players who took the +7′ with the Cards as road underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright win. Arizona has now won and covered three straight, improving their ATS record to 4-2 on the year. The Giants have lost two straight both straight up and to the number after winning and covering their first five games. The 41 combined points scored went UNDER the posted total of 47. Arizona has gone UNDER in five of six games this season, while the Giants have a 4-2-1 NFL totals mark.

After the contest, all of the Cards’ offensive stars were paying tribute to their ball hawking defense starting with quarterback Kurt Warner:

“Tonight we definitely fed off our defense.”

Wide receiver Anquan Boldin commented:

“We feel like we’ve got one of the best defenses in the league. It’s tough for teams to move the ball on them, let alone score on them.”

Cards’ linebacker Gerald Page explained the defense’s mindset heading into the game:

“Our game plan was to get Manning rattled, make him make quick decisions and quick throws. He made some plays, but they came up short.”

Safety Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie added:

“We played team defense. Everybody stepped up. When we had interception opportunities, we made them.”

Arizona’s active defense caused trouble for the usually efficient Giants’ offense explained center Shaun O’Hara:

“They are constantly moving around and flipping safeties and they did a good job with that. Sometimes we caught them and sometimes they caught us.”

While New York coach Tom Coughlin summed up the loss with this short observation:

“Anytime you turn the ball over four times, you don’t have much of a chance to win.”

Arizona will try to keep their momentum rolling on Sunday as they host the swooning Carolina Panthers. The Cards are a -10 home favorite with the total set at 42. They’ll visit Chicago to face the Bears the following Sunday before returning home to host the Seattle Seahawks on November 15. The Giants will hit the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia played on Monday Night, and the game is currently off the board pending the status of several injured Eagles’ players. They’ll return home to host the San Diego Chargers the following Sunday before a bye week, and they’ll get back in action on November 22 at home against the Atlanta Falcons.

San Diego Makes Short Work Of Kansas City In NFL Action

 

The San Diego Chargers bounced back nicely from their Monday Night Football loss to Denver last week, opening a 20-0 halftime lead before coasting to a 37-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Chargers’ quarterback Phillip Rivers passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Running back Ladanian Tomlinson ran for a season high 71 yards as San Diego evened their record at 3-3.

The Chargers easily covered the NFL pointspread as -6 road favorites. It was only the second pointspread cover of the year for San Diego, who moved their ATS record to 2-4. Kansas City dropped to 2-5 against the spread. The 44 points pushed against the posted total.

After the game, QB Rivers suggested that the loss to Denver was a turning point for his team:

“Last week, we felt like we made progress. We had the attitude we were looking for, focus, but we didn’t win. But we knew we got better.”

Tomlinson broke off one of his most impressive runs of the year on the Chargers first touchdown drive, a 31 yard pickup that he said lifted the team’s spirits and led to the easy victory:

“It kind of got us going. It was something we needed and it was a big play for us. It was a staple of our offense. It’s been around for years, old power. It was perfectly blocked and was just a great job of execution.”

The Chiefs continued to struggle on their home field, which at one point was considered one of the toughest venues in the league for visiting teams. Chiefs’ nose tackle Ron Edwards lamented this home field struggle:

“We want to win for the home fans, for us, for everyone out there watching,” nose tackle Ron Edwards said. “It’s real painful.”

Rivers pointed to the Chiefs’ legacy of home field dominance in celebrating the win:

“Any time you come to Kansas City and win, it’s good. We talked about getting on a roll and you’ve got to win one first before you can. Hopefully, this is something we can build on.”

The Chargers return home to take on their hated rivals, the Oakland Raiders. They’ll travel to play the New York Giants the following week before returning home to face the Philadelphia Eagles on November 15. Kansas City will enjoy a bye week before returning to action on November 8 on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their next opportunity for a home victory will come on November 15 against the Oakland Raiders.

Packers Pop Strugging Browns

 

The Green Bay Packers used 21 second quarter points and three Aaron Rodgers touchdown passes to easily dispatch the punchless Cleveland Browns 31-3 on Sunday. Rodgers threw two of his three touchdowns during the second quarter onslaught, adding a fourth quarter tally for good measure. Ryan Grant added 148 yards of rushing and a touchdown in the victory, in which the Packers dominated the statistical battle. Green Bay improved their 2009 NFL record to 4-2, while Cleveland slumped to 1-6.

NFL football betting enthusiasts who laid the -8′ with Green Bay as road favorites cashed their tickets with the lopsided victory. Green Bay improved to 4-2 against the NFL pointspread while the Browns dropped to 3-4 against the number.

The Packers upped their intensity early in the game, after quarterback Aaron Rodgers was punched in the face during a scrum. He recounts what happened next:

“One of the linemen came over and said, ‘Who was it? We got your back. That means a lot to me and that means a lot to our team.”

David Bowens was the perpetrator, though he insisted he was simply playing hard:

“I was just trying to grab anything I had. It wasn’t malicious, I was just trying to get a stop. I apologized to him for it. He can call it what he wants to call it, but the refs didn’t call it. I’d treat him different if he was passing the ball, that’s different. But if he’s running the ball, he’s a running back. It’s called football.”

Browns’ quarterback Derek Anderson lamented his team’s struggles in postgame comments:

“We aren’t good right now. That’s it. Period. We haven’t executed. We haven’t done the right things to win ballgames. We haven’t run the ball effectively, thrown it where we needed to. We haven’t protected up front like we need to and caught it when we need to.”

Head coach Eric Mangini sounded a similar tone:

“It’s a very disappointing performance across the board. I don’t think we played very well. I don’t think we coached very well. I thought we were making progress in a lot of areas. I don’t think we showed that today — at all.”

The Packers now face a big game next Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings which will feature Brett Favre’s first return to Green Bay in a visiting uniform. The Packers are a -3 home favorite with the total set at 48. They’ll face the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following week before hosting the Dallas Cowboys on November 15. Cleveland will travel to Chicago for a game against the Bears next week, with the Browns installed as a +13′ road underdog and the total set at 40′.

The Disturbing Matter Of Having A Tax Lien On Your Credit Report

 

Having a tax lien put against you that displays on your credit or against your property can in fact be one of the most challenging credit problems that you ever deal with. The IRS can be rather callous when it comes to getting their money and there is a basis for the old aphorism about “death and taxes” because you are not prone to be able to get out of it fully without paying at least a percentage of it.

If you are in possession of real estate the lien will be put against that. It will stop you from selling the property and ultimately they may even be able to confiscate the real estate to satisfy the lien. If you do not have possession of property it will only show on your credit report but you will not be able to get a home mortgage, a car loan, student loans or probably even credit cards. A tax lien is very disadvantageous to your credit.

You will in all probability have to pay the tax lien off or at the very least bargain for a lesser amount. The troubling part of it is that even after the tax lien has been satisfied it can remain on your report for as long as 7 years. If you don’t pay it off it can stay on there for as long as 15 years. If it is not satisfied they can also renew it so you might have a tax lien on your credit forever.

You are probably wasting your valuable time if you try to challenge and fight the tax lien. The Internal Revenue Service is incredibly powerful and they will track you down and find you. The best you can usually do is to settle to pay a lesser amount to fulfill the debt.

After you have paid off the tax lien, it is possible that it will still show on your credit report for as long as 7 years. Though, you can take some actions to try to avoid this. When you are negotiating for the smaller amount, put in a request that they delete it from your credit report also. If you are unsuccessful at that you can try to dispute the listing with a letter.

If you write a dispute letter, you will need to send it to all three chief credit reporting bureaus, which are TransUnion, Equifax and Experian in the United States. The Fair Credit Reporting Act has provided consumers the right to dispute any negative or ambiguous listings on their credit report. If you have settled with the IRS, any bad listings about the tax lien can be misleading and unfair.

As you are disputing the negative listings make sure that you keep a copy of all communications either from the credit bureaus or to the credit bureaus. After they receive the letter, they have 30 to 45 days in which to either validate the accurateness of the listing or remove it from your report. If you do not get a deletion straight away you may have to try again as many times as it takes to get results.

Writing letters of dispute and doing other credit repair techniques can be very advantageous for you and your financial life in the long run. You can do it yourself or hire a professional but you are accountable for knowing and contending with whatever shows on your credit report and if you need to do some credit repair, it is better to do it sooner rather than later when you need to have good credit.
