2010 NFL Divisional Round Predictions
We picked three of the four Wild Card games correctly, although our overall postseason predictions (found here) were slightly challenged with New York upsetting Cincinnati. However, we decided to stick with our gut and not stray from our winners this week. After all, hype is hype for a reason, and the Jets will fizzle out. [...]

You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]

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 [...]
NFL Week 16 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
Last week we saw the New Orleans Saints finally fall, while the Indianapolis Colts extended their record to 14-0, and now stand as the only undefeated team in the league.

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.
