There's more lists filtering through this site than pop-up ads. It's getting to that "awesomely ridiculous" stage. And I'm not complaining. God, no. I love it. What's better than the actual NFL season? The answer is nothing, but a close second is the constant coverage it gets, despite being almost four months away. We have the Brett Favre saga, fantasy football hype, trades, roster changes, and best of all, rankings that in no way matter right now. Such is the life of an NFL ...Read More

There are two ways you can look at the number of candidates that there are for this season’s NFL MVP. On one hand, the optimistic fan or voter could say that there have been so many excellent performers that it’s too hard to single out that one deserving player. On the other hand, many can say that there have been many good performers, but that no one had a ‘great’ season. Last season, it was pretty cut ...Read More

We’re already coming up on November and the halfway point of the 2008 NFL season, and what a season it’s been so far. At the start of the season, who’d have expected the Tennessee Titans to be 7-0 right now and four games ahead of the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South? What about the San Diego Chargers being 3-5, despite Phillip Rivers having a career season? Then there are the injuries to some of the ...Read More

Guess who’s back? The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season. I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had a decent showing in Week 4, as I went 8-5, which puts my record at 15-14 heading into this week. If you plan on making a ...Read More

Week four had it all. Upsets, goal line stands, emotional moments, another direct snap for a rushing touchdown, an unsuccessful 76-yard field goal attempt, head coach firings, and a sighting of a nostalgic T.O. Some of this week's upsets had a common theme, exposing shaky defenses. The Washington Redskins went into Dallas and upset the undefeated, rival Cowboys by making their defense look old, tired, and overrated. Kansas City was also looking to expose another undefeated team's defense. The Chiefs, who ...Read More

Sunday was an action-filled day in the NFL. We saw the number of unbeaten teams reduced from six to four, a career day from Brett Favre, a couple of vintage performances, an extension of misery for a few teams, including one (at least) who'll likely have a new coach in the coming days. All in all, it was a pretty good day for me, as I went 8-4 in my ATS picks, which assures me of going into ...Read More

As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and came out on the losing end as well. But, it’s a new week, and maybe having 13 games on this week’s slate will bring ...Read More

Week 3 of the NFL season offers up a lot of potentially entertaining matchups, from Green Bay and Dallas meeting in a matchup of two of the NFL’s best, to Brett Favre making his first Monday night appearance as a Jet in San Diego, and many, many more. Here’s my take on who I think will come out on top in Week 3, and for those who are still trying to make their wagers, I’ve got info that hopefully ...Read More

Even though week 1 was hard to top, week 2 in the NFL did not disappoint. Well, maybe it did disappoint if you were a Chargers fan. In the fourth quarter of an "AFL-style" shootout, the Chargers were leading the Broncos 38-31. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler was leading a potential scoring drive in the red zone when the football slipped out of his hands and was recovered by the Chargers. However, veteran referee and weightlifting enthusiast Ed Hochuli blew the ...Read More

While having Virginia Tech and West Virginia in their first two games will prevent them from having a perfect record, there is a very good chance that the Pirates run the table the rest of the way. That’s what Mark Scott said in his preview of East Carolina in June. Turns out he was a little wrong about one part, but if he’s right about the other, it could mean something special could be in store for the Pirates. ...Read More
