With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?
It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the Buffalo Bills, and [...]
Saints top Colts to win Super Bowl XLIV
Even though Mardi Gras is nine days away, the party in New Orleans starts now. Drew Brees tied an NFL record with 32 completions to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, giving the franchise its first Super Bowl championship. Brees’ record tying completions went along with 39 attempts, [...]
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 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it’s the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the other 28 teams not [...]
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. [...]
2010 NFL Playoff Predictions: Calling the Super Bowl
If you missed our Wild Card preview (which has yet to be determined), go here. The outcome of those four games leads into this article, which dissects the eventual match-ups, and leads to a Super Bowl winner. We didn’t really take the time to make a pick for the Super Bowl back in the preseason, [...]
2009 NFL MVP Race: Down to Four Candidates
Brett Favre made his comeback worth while. He stared “late-season slide” talk straight in the face, and proceeded to throw six touchdowns and over 600 yards in his last five quarters. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning faded (along with their teams), as they spent their final weeks on the bench of playing like shells of [...]
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. We’re also getting closer to the possibility of Chris Johnson reaching the 2,000-yard plateau, which only adds to the AFC playoff race, as Johnson’s team, [...]
