Can't sleep and was thinking about doing this last week so here ya go. I'm a big fan of ProFootballWeekly.com and they have a bunch of "tidbits" about games that they share. I thought I'd pick a few facts/stats from some of the more interesting matchups. I either think they are telling of how the game is going to go, have fantasy value or are just interesting.
