Receiver trades will shape NFL playoff race in 2010 – and beyond
In the midst of all of the hype, hoopla, fanfare, and pomp and circumstance (wait, did I cover everything?) leading up to next weekend’s NFL Draft, four major trades have taken place this month.

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 [...]
Is Seattle Carroll’s next challenge?
It looks like Pete Carroll could head from Troy to the Emerald City by the beginning of next week.

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.

Matt Gentile’s Week 13 NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (11-0) Many questioned whether or not New Orleans could beat a top tier team. Monday night’s beatdown of the New England Patriots showed just how good they are. 2. Indianapolis Colts (11-0) Indianapolis is on a 20-game winning streak in the regular season, dating back to 2008. Now they get the [...]

The Colts and Saints are yet again in the top two spots, after the Colts wiped away and early deficit to dismantle the Texans, and the Saints plowed past the Patriots. Both teams seem to be clicking at exactly the right time, forcing us all to truly wonder; can we see two teams go 16-0 [...]

Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 11 Review
We had another successful week with our Start/Sit column in Week 11, as we made the right call by suggesting starts for Eli Manning, Ricky Williams, and LeSean McCoy, and correctly urged you to let Jay Cutler and Chad Ochocinco take the week off. Our sleeper picks weren’t too shabby, either, as Brady Quinn, Jason [...]
