NFL Wild Card Preview: Bengals, Ravens, Cardinals, and Cowboys to advance
The NFL Playoffs are finally upon us. From the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets (who barely sneaked in) to the Indianapolis Colts (who were in since Week 10), the field is set, and ready to go.

Has Vince Young Proven He Belongs in the NFL?
After two straight weak showings to end the 2009 NFL season, Vince Young has some explaining to do. Or, more importantly, some more doubters to prove wrong. Young took the league by storm with a sensational rookie season in 2006, when he scored 19 total touchdowns (seven rushing) and guided the Titans to an 8-8 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 31st): Brandon Jacobs done for year, Troy Smith demands trade, Brandon Marshall to play in Week 17, and more
Brandon Jacobs Out For Season Finale The Giants are out of the playoffs, which prompted the New York front office to cut Jacobs’ season short and get his knee cleaned up.

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
Brett Favre Proves Doubters Wrong, Even in Loss
Yes, the Minnesota Vikings have dropped three of their last four, all on the road, and are staring a Wild Card match right in the face. They were 10-1, Favre and the offense was clicking, and this team was thinking Super Bowl. But then, as so many Favre-haters had predicted, the previously unbeatable Favre began [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it’s first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it’s march for perfection. While the top two spots remain [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 18th): Mark Sanchez likely to return this week, Calvin Johnson back at practice, Devin Hester likely out this week, and more
Mark Sanchez Looks to Start Week 15 He missed last week and showed New York and the rest of the football world that, despite being a rookie and making some mistakes this year, he’s still a much better player than the veteran Kellen Clemens. Sanchez has been practicing and looks like he’ll be ready for [...]

Kevin Roberts’ Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
The story of the 2009 season continues to be about the two undefeated teams, and whether or not they will strive for perfection. There have been rumors that the Indianapolis Colts will begin to rest their starters in the next couple of weeks, which could hurt their chances for a 16-0 season. The New Orleans [...]
NFL Week 14 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
We were once again thwarted by the Colts, as they took care of business against Tennessee. Ironically enough, the Saints were the team who struggled, and against a previously 3-8 Washington Redskins team, no less. The story of last week, while undoubtedly partially going to the Saints comeback, goes to the Arizona Cardinals and their [...]
