2009 AFC Playoff Picture: Week 15
It’s Week 15 in the NFL, and while we still have three weeks to figure out who fits where, which teams are pretenders, and which are the actual contenders, tight races in both conferences deserve a look before everything is all wrapped up.

NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 15: Go With Romo
We had a poor week for the second straight week in our fantasy football Start/Sit column, while negatively impacted by Rock Cartwright’s status changing in the middle of the week, while four of our five sleepers were ether complete non-factors, or suffered an injury. We vow to end Week 15 with a winning record in [...]
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 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 14 NFL Power Rankings
While the Saints comeback and win over the Washington Redskins in overtime normally would be the story of the week in the NFL, it holds no water compared to the suddenly very interesting division races in the AFC and NFC East.

Indianapolis Colts (11-0) Indianapolis is on a 20-game winning streak in the regular season, dating back to 2008. Now they get the [...]

The Colts and Saints are yet again in the top two spots, after the Colts wiped away and early deficit to dismantle the Texans, and the Saints plowed past the Patriots. Both teams seem to be clicking at exactly the right time, forcing us all to truly wonder; can we see two teams go 16-0 [...]
NFL Week 13 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
Like the band U2, we still haven’t found what we’re looking for. The New England Patriots proved to be no match for the New Orleans Saints, who have now been crowned as the best team in the league atop our NFL Power Rankings, while the Indianapolis Colts kept pace and reached 11-0. We highly doubt [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 12 Review
We had a horrible week with our Start/Sit column in Week 12, and not to make excuses, but injuries to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner (again) played a helping hand in it. While we finished with a less then desirable 5-10 record on the week (counting sleeper picks), we still vouched for Week 12 fantasy [...]

There’s been no shortage of excitement up to this point in the NFL season, but Week 12 may be the most exciting week of the season yet.

NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 12: Ryan Grant to Feast on Detroit Lions
We had a great showing last week, giving you the right calls more often than not, while posting an 11-4 record for Week 11. We suggested that you start Eli Manning and Ricky Williams, two plays that paid off big time, while a few of our sit calls, Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco, and Jay Cutler [...]
