The Philadelphia Eagles are having a great 2024 campaign. Philadelphia is 9-2 heading into Week 13 and is sitting atop the NFC East division standings. One reason why the Eagles are so much better this season is the addition of running back Saquon Barkley. The superstar back set a record on Sunday against the Rams […]

The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL in 2024. This is the first time in the Super Bowl era where this is a reasonable statement to make. The Lions are truly having a season for the ages, putting up back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in franchise history. And […]

The Dallas Cowboys have had a disastrous 2024 campaign. Dallas is 4-7 heading into Week 13 and is still hopelessly outside of the NFC playoff picture without QB Dak Prescott. This is despite getting a huge division win against the Commanders on Sunday. That win seems to have everyone in the organization in a better […]

The Baltimore Ravens have had a great 2024 campaign so far. Baltimore is 8-4 heading into Week 13 after getting a huge win against the Chargers on Monday Night Football. This win keeps them close to the 8-3 Steelers atop the AFC North division rankings. Baltimore has loftier goals than simply winning their division and […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the best teams in the NFL as per usual. Kansas City is 10-1 heading into Week 13 and is in complete control of their destiny as the playoffs approach.

The Green Bay Packers are having an excellent 2024 season. Green Bay is 8-3 heading into Week 13 and is still relevant in the NFC playoff picture. The Packers got an important win in Week 12 against a wounded 49ers team that was without QB Brock Purdy. That drew an interesting take from one Packers […]

The Chicago Bears have not had the 2024 season that they originally imagined. Chicago is 4-7 heading into Week 13 and is in the basement of the NFC North division standings. The Bears had a chance to get off the mat in Week 12, but fell just short against the Vikings in overtime. Vikings head […]

The Panthers were in the game until the final seconds and came very close to getting a signature win against one of the NFL’s best teams. Panthers QB […]

The New York Giants have been one of the worst teams in the NFL during the 2024 season. New York is 2-9 after suffering a brutal loss against Tampa Bay 30-7. The Giants are now in prime position to get the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, especially after cutting QB Daniel Jones […]

The Dallas Cowboys have not had a great 2024 season. Dallas came into Week 12 with a record of 3-7 and their regular season feels over after Dak Prescott’s season-ending injury. That didn’t stop the Cowboys from putting the hurt on the Commanders to secure a huge Week 12 victory. Dallas won 34-26 in a […]

Auburn football fans finally have a signature win to celebrate. The Tigers secured a huge victory against No. 15 Texas A&M on Saturday night, winning 43-41 in quadruple overtime. Payton Thorne connected with KeAndre Lambert-Smith for a successful two-point conversion that ended up being the winning score. Texas A&M had a chance to answer, but […]

The Seattle Seahawks are still in the mix in an incredibly tight NFC West division race. Seattle is 5-5 heading into Week 12 along with everyone else in their division aside from their opponent in Arizona. The Cardinals only hold a one-game lead over the rest of the division, which makes it one of the […]

The New York Jets have had an awful 2024 campaign. New York is 3-8 heading into Week 12 and their season feels like it is already over. That’s probably the case because the Jets have already fired Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas and are now just playing out the rest of the regular season. One […]

The Washington Commanders have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 season. Washington is 7-4 heading into Week 12 and is only a few games back in the NFC East division standings. Nobody expected this much success from the Commanders before the season. Especially considering they replaced nearly everything within the organization, starting […]

The Chicago Bears have not had the 2024 season they hoped for. Chicago is 4-6 heading into Week 12 after a crushing last-second loss against Green Bay.

The San Francisco 49ers feel like they’re in a weird place as a team right now. San Francisco is 5-5 heading into Week 12 and is only one game back in the NFC West standings. However, considering their preseason expectations, 5-5 has to feel like a colossal failure for the 49ers. Unfortunately, the team got […]

The Denver Broncos have been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2024 NFL season. Denver is 6-5 heading into Week 12 and is greatly exceeding their preseason expectations. The Broncos may not be shoe-ins for the playoffs, but with a record over .500 and a handful of winnable games still on their schedule, […]
