Another week of the NFL season is down as we near closer to the midway point of the season. This week, we were graised by two main story-lines: the arrival and abysmal showing by Carson Palmer as the new face (and potential playoff leader) of the Oakland Raiders, and the arrival and astonishing showing of the one they call Tim Tebow.That, plus some rookie notes as well as fantasy pickups and notes from the week in today's Weekly NFL Recap. Raiders and Titans come out flat in key divisional games Heading into week seven, two of the most surprising teams in the AFC were the Oakland Raiders and the Tennessee Titans. Both were exceeding expectations and were actually going to be playing for leads in their divisions on Sunday. There was plenty of media hype and fans of both teams were excited heading into their division matchups. That’s not to say that there weren't significant questions surrounding each team. The Raiders didn’t know who would be their starting quarterbac...

Tim Tebow Show a smash hit

Via Football Nation  |  October 23, 2011

It wasn't pretty at first, but the Legend of Tim Tebow grew quite a bit in Miami as Tebow led the Broncos to an exciting come-from-behind win over the Dolphins. 

Tim Tebow Leads Broncos to Big Fourth-Quarter Comeback, Overtime Victory Over Dolphins

Via NESN.com  |  October 23, 2011
Maybe the halftime ceremony that honored the 2008 national champion Florida Gators gave Tim Tebow a boost. Or maybe the second half is just "Tebow Time." The Broncos didn't get on the scoreboard until there was 2:44 remaining in the game. But after completing just three passes in the first half, Tim Tebow threw for two second-half touchdowns to force overtime and eventually...

Palmer: Raiders debut something to learn from

Via SI.com  |  October 25, 2011
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- As bad as Carson Palmer's three-interception debut with the Oakland Raiders looked, he views it as a valuable teaching tool.

Tebow 'Trolling'

Via Sports-at-Work  |  October 23, 2011
A couple weeks ago when Tim Tebow was named the starter of the Denver Broncos, I wrote about why Tebow will never transcend into an NFL quarterback. Don’t want to believe me? Just click on the link a couple sentences back and take a read for yourself. As it turns out, I’m not quite done yet. After his first start for the Broncos since last season, I’m not backing down...

After disastrous start, Tebow leads Broncos to overtime victory

Via Shutdown Corner  |  October 23, 2011
For 55 minutes of Sunday's game, Tim Tebow was more dud than savior. His Denver Broncos were down 15-0 to the winless Miami Dolphins and the quarterback's uneven play was a big reason why. And then he turned water into wine. Facing a 15-point deficit on the road with the ball on his own 20-yard line, Tebow orchestrated a stunning fourth-quarter comeback, capped by a two-point...

NFL Week 8 Picks and Predictions: Around the League Edition

Via The Penalty Flag  |  October 27, 2011
Week 8 in the NFL features some marquee matchups that could shape the outcome of the rest of the season.   The Detroit Lions are coming off back-to-back home losses and take on Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.  In an NFC East showdown the Dallas Cowboys visit the City of Brotherly Love to face the Philadelphia Eagles and Michael Vick.  Then in a battle of AFC powerhouses the...

Double-Digit Spread? That's So Ravens: Week 8 Predictions

Via Rotowire  |  October 26, 2011
Joe Flacco stank up the scene on Monday Night and that's all anyone will remember from Week 7 besides Tim Tebow's "Miracle in Miami" and the resulting creation of Tebowing. The Ravens' dismal offense was actually not the worst offensive performance of the week. In fact, it wasn't even the worst offensive performance in the game! They scored around 16...

Broncos Rally Late To Top Dophins 18-15 In OT

Via GridironFans.com  |  October 23, 2011
Tim Tebow rallied the Denver Broncos for two touchdowns in the final 2:44 of the fourth quarter to force overtime, and Matt Prater’s 52-yard field goal gave them an improbable 18-15 victory Sunday over the stunned, winless Miami Dolphins. The Broncos appeared beaten when they trailed 15-0 with 5:23 left and took over at their 20. At that point Tebow was 4-for-14 for 40 yards but...

Chiefs defense gets six interceptions to rout Raiders 28-0

Via Denver Post  |  October 24, 2011
Kyle Boller dropped back on Oakland's first series and threw a pass to the left sideline that Kendrick Lewis intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Carson Palmer did the same to the right side to Brandon Flowers in the fourth quarter.

Bettor’s Guide: NFL Week 8 Point Spread Picks and Predictions

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  October 27, 2011
Okay, now I can exhale a bit. At least for a week. After two of the worst weeks I’ve ever had picking games against the spread, I rebounded with a solid 7-5-1 in Week 7. That is nothing spectacular, but after going 3-9-1 in Week 6, it got me back on the winning track and move me to 51-47-5 on the year. What games am I most excited this week? Like last week, there aren’...

Lions-Broncos Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  October 26, 2011
There aren't many young quarterbacks receiving more attention than Matthew Stafford. The one he hopes to face Sunday certainly seems to be. If Stafford can overcome an injury to take the field, the Detroit Lions surely have a better shot to bounce back from consecutive losses and spoil Tim Tebow's first home start of the season for the Denver Broncos. Detroit (5-2) got...

Tebow rallies Broncos to 18-15 OT win over Miami

Via Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Seattle Seahawks / NFL  |  October 24, 2011
Share: In the frantic final minutes of the fourth quarter, Tebow led TD drives of 80 and 56 yards sandwiched around a successful onside kick. The Oakland Raiders' quarterback experiment went far worse than the Broncos', with Kyle Boller and newly acquired Carson Palmer throwing three interceptions each in place of the injured Jason Campbell in a 28-0 loss to...
