Colliding on the gridiron . . .
The NFL schedule features seven exhibition contests on Saturday night, with Tampa Bay at Miami (-3.5), Detroit at Pittsburgh (-2.5), Houston (-1.5) at Arizona, Cleveland at Green Bay (-2.5), Chicago at San Diego (-3), Tennessee at Seattle (-3), and Minnesota at St. Louis (-1.5). The Vikings still don't have the final word on whether Brett Favre is returning to the fold this season, so they'll be leaning on some combination of Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels under center. A.J. Feeley will start at quarterback for the Rams on Saturday night, but rookie Sam Bradford will also see action with the first team.
As well, the lone Canadian Football League matchup on the schedule for Saturday has Montreal at Toronto. The Alouettes (5-1 SU, 3-3 ATS) haven't lost since their season opener, while the Argonauts (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS) were thumped 41-10 in Montreal back on July 29. The Alouettes are pegged as 7.5-point road favorites for this Week 7 contest.
