Super Bowl XLIV: Why the Colts Will Win it All
Forget about trends and rankings. They don’t do a whole lot of good in helping us predict Super Bowl winners. Just look back to Super Bowl XXIV, when Joe Montana and Jerry Rice dominated the league’s top scoring defense, the Denver Broncos, in the most lop-sided Super Bowl in NFL History, winning 55-10. We’ve even [...]
Super Bowl XLIV: Picking an Unlikely MVP
If you’re a big “props bet” guy/gal, this may be an article you take into serious consideration. The days of Joe Montana winning three Super Bowl MVP’s are long gone. Just look at the 1997 Super Bowl, where Brett Favre played a heck of a game (three total touchdowns), only to see kick/punt returner Desmond [...]
NFL Championship Week: Picking the Super Bowl
This is what it comes down to. We have the top two teams that pulled at our heart-strings almost all season, even flat-out telling us they’d try for 16-0 (Thank you, New Orleans), and still delivering themselves into the playoffs with the top seed in their respective conferences. Yes, you know them and read about [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 11: Eli Manning to Take Flight Against Falcons
We had great success in Week 10, making the right call on Brett Favre, Ricky Williams, and nudging you in the right direction on sitting Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel. We also picked some fine sleeper picks, as Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman dropped in respectable efforts, and Jamaal Charles solidified himself as Kansas City’s [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 6th): Anthony Gonzalez Suffers Setback, Bob Sanders Out For Season, and more
Bob Sanders Out For Season He was originally just getting his arm scoped by Dr. James Andrews, but clearly they found something bigger than originally thought. Sanders will miss the remainder of the season with a torn biceps exiting the starting line-up just weeks since making his 2009 debut. Indy’s 7th ranked pass defense will [...]
Looking for a receiver? We can help
By now, most NFL teams have taken care of their offseason needs, may it be through free agent signings or through last month’s draft. But, if you’re still one of several teams who could use another wide receiver, there are some notable names still on the market. There’s good reason why a few of these [...]
NFL Scouting Combine Storylines: Defense and Special Teams
There’s no Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, or Vernon Gholston to get wild about in the 2009 NFL Draft, at least at this point. All of those guys were in contention to be the #1 pick in the 2008 draft, and all four were off the board in the first seven picks. What this [...]
Second thoughts on picking Ware over Harrison?
Last week, I handed out my NFL awards, and one of the toughest picks for me besides MVP was for Defensive Player of the Year, when it came down to Pittsburgh’s James Harrison and Dallas’ DeMarcus Ware. With all due respect to Ed Reed the interception machine, I picked Ware because when it came to [...]
2008 NFL Awards: Peyton or Pennington for MVP?
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 [...]
The Monday After: Let the madness begin!
The NFL regular season is finally over, and for the last 12 teams standings, it’s time to start preparing for the playoffs. Four lucky teams can rest easy throughout this week and really enjoy their New Year’s celebrations, since they don’t have to play for another two weeks, while eight other teams can’t look past [...]
