The 2025 Seattle Seahawks have impressed much more than initially expected. They are 5-2 and have a great defense, but the offense has also been playing well, primarily because of Sam Darnold’s resurgence at quarterback. Darnold has been dealing with a chest injury, but he played last in their last game against the Texans, and […]

The 2025 Las Vegas Raiders are playing like one of the worst teams in the NFL. They are 2-5 and have struggled to do much of anything well, especially on offense. There is a glimmer of hope for this offense as we prepare for Week 9 because Brock Bowers is back practicing. It remains to […]

The 2025 LSU football season has quickly turned into a disaster. The Tigers are 5-3, but they fired Brian Kelly after they were blown out at home against Texas A&M.

The 2025 Florida football season went downhill quickly after starting with so much promise. The Gators are 3-4 but have struggled to do well up to this point.

The 2025 Philadelphia 76ers are quickly turning into one of the most fun teams of the NBA season. They are 4-0 and have been scoring in bunches this season.

The 2025 season for the Denver Broncos has gotten off to a great start. They are 6-2 and playing well on offense and defense, despite Patrick Surtain II’s injury.

The 2025 Philadelphia 76ers have started the season playing well, at 3-0. The keys have been Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in the backcourt and not Joel Embiid as much. The 76ers are also still missing Paul George due to injury. Embiid has been a stalwart down low for the 76ers, but there could be […]

The 2025 LSU football season quickly turned into a disaster. The Tigers are 5-3, but fired Brian Kelly after Texas A&M blew them out in Baton Rouge, 49-25.

The 2025 San Antonio Spurs have already been among the best teams in the NBA to start the season. They are undefeated at 4-0, mainly due to Victor Wembanyama’s excellent play.

The 2025 Ole Miss football team has been playing well and got a massive win this past weekend on the road against Oklahoma.

The key to the 2025 LSU football team has been its defense. The Tigers have struggled to play well and find much consistency on offense from game to game, making the defense even more important.

The Philadelphia Eagles have played well in the 2025 season and finally unlocked their passing game with AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts.

The 2025 Ole Miss football season has been an excellent year for the Rebels so far, and that has been in large part because of Trinidad Chambliss.

The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles have had a roller coaster start to the year. They are 5-2, but after their recent win, they just broke a two-game losing streak.

The 2025 New England Patriots have been playing exceptionally well and have a 5-2 record.

The 2025 Ole Miss football team has exceeded expectations, especially after last year. That is a credit to Lane Kiffin and the coaching job he has done this year.
