Week 16 NBA Fantasy Start/Sit: Start Your Magic
Another week of fantasy basketball is upon us. Let that Super Bowl hangover slide of your shoulders (unless you’re a Saints fan, then celebrate), and gear up for a strong finish heading into the All-Star break. It’s time to separate yourself from the rest of the pack, or if you’re still struggling, lobby for for [...]
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.

Let’s face it, Brett Favre‘s “interception heard round the world” has been ridiculed and dissected from every angle. It need not be done so in this article as well. Rather than regurgitate everything that took place in Sunday night’s exciting, albeit somewhat controversial NFC Championship, perhaps we should look to the future (and Favre’s). After [...]

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Saints Still on Top
While the Minnesota Vikings certainly impressed with a 38-26 win against Green Bay in Lambeau Field, the fall of the previously undefeated Denver Broncos has now left just two unbeaten teams remaining in the league.
