NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets and Avoids

Why don't more teams run the ball when going for two? I don't have stats to back it up but it seems every time a team goes for two they throw the ball. Why not run? The Raiders went for two against the Chiefs and got the conversion. Line up with a three or four-receiver […]
