One of the most difficult things to guess is a team's starting receiving line-up, especially this early in the season. Rookies can gain huge strides due to injuries or poor performances from veterans, while lackluster efforts from the corps can cause the front office to panic and sign someone off the street, or even try to pull a trade. There are a lot of questions regarding Plaxico Burress, Matt Jones, Marvin Harrison, and now even Brandon Marshall. With the AFC out of ...Read More

Tony Romo lost his most talented weapon (Terrell Owens) this off-season, and now only has Roy Williams as a reliable receiver target. However, the word in Dallas is that Owens being gone will lift any distractions from the team, and will have the offense performing more fluidly and in turn, will be more effective. Maybe, and maybe not. Read on to see who wins the quarterback position battles, who is falling, and who is on the rise, in a team-by-team glance: NFC East Eli Manning, ...Read More

With the exception of a few moves left to be made (for wide receivers, for example), NFL teams have completed the bulk of their offseason moves. Which five teams should head into the summer feeling good about what they've done so far in the offseason? 1. Dallas Cowboys It may not seem like much, but promoting Roy Williams (receiver) and releasing Terrell Owens is going to be a big deal. Owens, as good as he was, has probably started to decline, ...Read More

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

Earlier, we gave the first half of our NFL head coach rankings, giving our take on the 16 'worst' head coaches in the NFL. Several of those coaches in the bottom 16 could see themselves in the top 16 in a few years' time with a few successful seasons, and all the same, some of the coaches in our top 16 could land in the bottom 16 (or out of a job) Then, there are those coaches won't be ...Read More

Just last week, it seemed like a good possibility that it was only a matter of time before the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre, but it‘s all going to come down to a shoulder X-ray that will decide whether Favre comes back as a Viking, or if he calls time on his career for good. Let it be known that I’m all for Favre coming back for another season (or more if he wants), but if he’s coming back ...Read More

I don't have a wealth of time to post an in-depth preview of today's conference championship games, but I will give a short prediction about both. I haven't exactly had a ton of success with my picks so far, but I'm feeling pretty good about today. True enough, two #6 seeds are taking part in today's conference championship games, and the NFC winner will either be the #4 or #6, but the way things have gone thus far ...Read More

On the gridiron this time of year, you can ill-afford to make mistakes. One fumble, one interception, one ill-timed penalty or missed assignment can send you home and haunt your dreams for the next several months. As a result of mistake after mistake, the AFC’s top seed and the NFC’s #2 seed are set for an early vacation and many sleepless nights. Tennessee’s showdown with Baltimore was the low-scoring game that I expected, but what should’ve been ...Read More

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs gets underway tomorrow, with AFC top seed Tennessee facing off against wild-card winner Baltimore in the Music City, and NFC #2 Carolina hosting Arizona. On Sunday, the reigning Super Bowl champion and NFC #1 New York Giants host Philadelphia, and AFC #2 hosts streaking San Diego. All of the home teams and higher seeds will be favored, but that doesn’t mean that you can write their names into next weekend’s conference ...Read More

If you’re into NFL football betting, you’re looking like the wisest of wise men if you put a wager on the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East before the season started. But, if you’re one of the many people who put money on the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, or New York Jets, you might be feeling a little glum this week, since none of those teams are in the postseason. Now, I can understand that Vegas ...Read More
