Despite our solid picks throughout the season, however, we (like any writers) tense up a bit when having [...]
AFC Wild Card Preview: Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Jets
The Jets laid a 37-0 whooping on the Bengals to seal their place in the postseason, but can they make it two in two weeks? The motivation and the confidence will certainly be there for the Jets, who more than took advantage of the opening that the Colts gave them in Week 16 (not to [...]
CJ2K Watch Week 16: Titans’ Johnson 270 Yards From 2,000
With two winnable games left against San Diego and at Seattle, the 7-7 Tennessee Titans are very much in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt.

Johnson had [...]
What to watch this weekend (Oct 3-5)
Last week, college football fans saw four top ten teams (Ole Miss, Penn State, Cal and Miami) lose in disheartening fashion.

Cardinals & Steelers will triumph in conference title showdowns
I don’t have a wealth of time to post an in-depth preview of today’s conference championship games, but I will give a short prediction about both. I haven’t exactly had a ton of success with my picks so far, but I’m feeling pretty good about today. True enough, two #6 seeds are taking part in [...]
Mistakes doom upset victims Tennessee and Carolina
On the gridiron this time of year, you can ill-afford to make mistakes. One fumble, one interception, one ill-timed penalty or missed assignment can send you home and haunt your dreams for the next several months. As a result of mistake after mistake, the AFC’s top seed and the NFC’s #2 seed are set for [...]

Will Broncos look at Kubiak to replace fired Shanahan?
The ax has fallen on another NFL head coach, and it comes as no surprise that Mike Shanahan is out as the Denver Broncos’ head coach after 14 seasons at the helm. The Broncos missed the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, but this season’s collapse was the straw that broke the camel’s [...]

The NFL regular season is finally over, and for the last 12 teams standings, it’s time to start preparing for the playoffs.
