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 [...]

Matthew Stafford Done For Year Stafford has officially been ruled out for the rest of the season with shoulder and knee injuries.

State Of The Vikings: All Is Well In Minnesota
The title (as most are) can be deceiving. “All” may not be well in Minnesota. After all, the Vikings are coming off of two ugly road losses in their past three games, both of which their offense has failed top 17 points, and has executed extremely poorly on third downs. But aside from that, yes, [...]

NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 11th): Matt Ryan questionable for Sunday, Percy Harvin dealing with migraines, and more
Matt Ryan Still Questionable For Sunday Despite reports that Ryan would only start if his top linemen were healthy, head coach Mike Smith has said that Ryan is progressing, and his status will have nothing to do with any players around him. Ryan does appear to be moving around better, and the Falcons sound optimistic, [...]
