How ’bout them Giants? After taking down the Las Vegas Raiders 23-16 on Sunday, the New York Giants have improved to 3-6 and could easily be 4-5 had they not been ravaged by injuries in Week 8. The win now means that New York has played .500 football from Week 4 on, and they have […]

A pattern of frustrating games continued for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, as they fell 27-24 on a last-second field goal to the Los Angeles Chargers. The loss saw the Eagles fight back to tie the game or take the lead multiple times late in the game, but they were still unable to pull off […]

Wow. What a day for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as they upset both offensive and defensive juggernaut Buffalo Bills, by a score of 9-6. It’s an amazing accomplishment for a young squad to take it to the apparent AFC favorites (at least heading into Week 9), as the Jags have been the opposite of Buffalo’s, having […]

After the Green Bay Packers 13-7 loss in a, frankly, boring game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, there isn’t a whole lot to make of how good Green Bay really is as a team without reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers at the helm. It’s not like we didn’t see this coming. The Packers […]

It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Kansas City Chiefs came away with a 13-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Sunday afternoon’s Week 9 contest. It was an ugly affair, as quarterbacks from each team barely reached a 50% completion rate, and there were only 2 combined touchdowns. Had Mason Crosby not missed two […]

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high as they enter a Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos, and they’ll be highly favored as long as franchise quarterback Dak Prescott is healthy and available to play. Still, though, even a team as explosive as Dallas can’t take a team with the skill position weapons and defensive […]

Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the Chiefs are looking like strong candidates to come out of the week with a winning record, as Patrick Mahomes and Co. will be playing near full strength against a short-handed Packers team. Still, though, as Green Bay was able to […]

The Green Bay Packers have made a decent amount of moves on the waiver wire this season, but they decided to stand pat at the 2021 NFL Trade Deadline, leaving this Packers roster similarly constructed to years past. Their activity, or lack thereof, is courageous, considering that another championship-less trip to the playoffs this year […]

On Tuesday, it was announced that linebacker Melvin Ingram would be traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Kansas City Chiefs. For what has been a relatively quiet trade deadline compared to year’s past, this is a big move for a Chiefs defense that has struggled all year long to generate a pass rush or […]

On Monday morning, the football world reacted in horror as news broke that Tennessee Titans star running back and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Derrick Henry would be undergoing potentially season-ending surgery on his fractured right foot. However, we’ve since learned that his timetable for return is actually now 6-10 weeks, likely towards […]

What looked like a busted play from the beginning got about as bad as it could get on Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they attempted a fake field goal pass for kicker Chris Boswell, in which he got absolutely decked by a Cleveland Browns lineman. It was a scary hit that kept Boswell on […]

It’s been a struggle for Christian McCaffrey and the Carolina Panthers over the past two seasons, as he’s only been able to play in 6 games during that time span. However, it seems like he might be able to return to action in Week 9 against a stingy New England Patriots defense, according to coach […]

As the New Orleans Saints get ready to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8, eyes all across America are going to see what this new era of Tom Brady games versus a New Orleans Saints team sans Drew Brees looks like. Though Tampa Bay is a far better team on paper, this […]

The Denver Broncos are on a worrying slide as they head into a Week 8 matchup with the Washington Football Team, but, luckily for them, Washington’s recent struggles make this an intriguing matchup for this afternoon bout. The two teams are a combined 1-7 over the last 4 weeks, and for that reason, there’s plenty […]

As the Cleveland Browns get ready to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a high-stakes divisional matchup, all eyes are going to be on the performances of all the Browns coming off of injuries as they try to stay afloat in the race for the AFC North crown. While taking these factors into consideration, we’ve got […]

With a New England Patriots game on tap for Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Chargers, all eyes will be on a matchup between a New England team that’s on the rise with a recent dominant stretch, and a dynamic Los Angeles team that’s loaded with talent, but was just beaten down badly in their […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are playing the best football they have in ages, and there couldn’t be a more exciting time to be a fan. For a team that went 4-11-1 in 2020 and was supposed to still be in the early stages of a rebuild towards contention, it has been amazing to see Joe Burrow […]

The Cleveland Browns are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, but it’s resulted in a mixed bag in terms of wins and losses in 2021. They currently sit at 4-3, which is good for 3rd in the AFC North, and one game behind each of the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals for […]

It’s been a complete 180 for the Dallas Cowboys this season, as they turned their dreadful 2020 campaign into a dominant showing so far, 7 weeks into the 2021 NFL season. The Boys sit at 5-1, comfortably in front of each of the other 3 NFC East teams, and have not lost since a Week […]

Since their ugly Week 1 loss, the Green Bay Packers have one of football’s hottest teams as they’ve won 6 games straight. That puts them at 6-1 and 2.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Vikings, the next closest team to them in the NFC North. Perhaps the test to see if the Packers are truly […]

Too easy! After the New York Giants 25-3 rout of the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, done without several key players, it’s impossible not to wonder where this sudden explosion of elite play has been all season. As New York won without Saquon Barkley, Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, and Sterling Shepard, with a banged-up Daniel Jones […]

Though their record may not show it, the New England Patriots are one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL right now. After a thoroughly monstrous 54-13 victory over the New York Jets,  have won 3 out of their last 6, but easily could have been 5-1 over that stretch had they not fallen […]

As we saw in the Los Angeles Dodgers fourth and final loss to the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS on Saturday, it wasn’t meant to be two years in a row. On the heels of a 106-win season and a dramatic comeback against the San Francisco Giants (at least they beat them?), it definitely hurts […]

It took them a while, but the Atlanta Falcons seem to have finally kicked things into groove in this 2021 season, as they beat the Miami Dolphins 30-28 on Sunday to improve to 3-3 on the season. The win was their second straight and third in their last 4 games, and gives them the opportunity […]

With a Carolina Panthers road matchup in the Big Apple against the New York Giants on tap for Week 7, two teams who have been on a slide look to rebound in this Sunday matinee. With Sam Darnold struggling to carry the load for a Carolina squad that’s missing star RB Christian McCaffrey, we’ve got […]

Ahead of the Cleveland Browns‘ Week 7 matchup with the Denver Broncos, what would normally be an expected blowout in favor of Cleveland instead figures to be a fiercely competitive battle due to injuries. Though no one wants to see players go down with any sort of ailments, a silver lining for football fans across […]

As the Chicago Bears took a 7-0 lead into the second quarter over the injury-depleted Green Bay Packers, it looked as if a hard-fought defensive upset could be on the horizon. It wasn’t meant to be, however, as Green Bay stormed back to pitch a 17-0 shutout over the next two quarters, and would cruise […]

As CeeDee Lamb high-stepped into the end zone to seal the Dallas Cowboys 35-29 overtime win over the New England Patriots, cameras immediately zoomed in on Pats rookie quarterback Mac Jones to capture his stoic response to the devastating loss. However, his expression was not one of defeat; rather, it looked to behold a new […]

Ahead of a Cincinnati Bengals Week 6 contest with the Detroit Lions, two teams fresh off of brutal, heartbreaking losses will be looking to avenge themselves in what’s a pivotal game for both teams. The stakes are high for two teams trying to keep from falling too far behind contention, and, for that reason, we’ve […]

With a Baltimore Ravens Week 6 battle on tap against the Los Angeles Chargers in the morning slate of games Sunday, football fans will be treated with one of the best matinee matchups we’ve seen throughout the first third of the season. With both teams at 4-1 and trying to stave off competitive division mates […]

After one of the craziest endings to a game in recent memory, the Green Bay Packers head into Soldier Field this week with the hopes of having a less stressful game against the Chicago Bears. Week 5 saw the Packers and Cincinnati Bengals trade five missed field goals from the last two and a half […]

The Kansas City Chiefs‘ Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills felt like a weird one. For the first time in what feels like ages, the Chiefs not only lost – they were dominated through and through on both sides of the ball for nearly all four quarters. Patrick Mahomes threw an extremely uncharacteristic two […]

The Dallas Cowboys are, to say the least, on a roll. Following a 44-20 drubbing of the New York Giants, Dallas is now on a four-game winning streak that would have been 5, had Tom Brady and not drove down for a miracle last-second victory in the season opener. At 4-1 atop the NFC East, the […]

Man, what a cruel mistress football can be. After leading 22-3 at one points, the Indianapolis Colts fell 31-25 to the Baltimore Ravens on primetime Monday Night Football. The loss drops the Colts to 1-4, and is all the more disappointing when you consider they were supposed to make the leap from playoff team to […]

The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off of a much-needed comeback victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5 to improve to 2-3, are headed home to take on the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers for this week’s Thursday Night Football contest. Philly sits in a tie for second place in the NFC East, where […]

With a hot start to the year that easily could’ve seen them at 4-0, the Baltimore Ravens head into Week 5 looking to set themselves apart atop the AFC North division. For this marquee Monday Night matchup, the Ravens will take on the 1-3 Indianapolis Colts, who are, however, on the heels of a commanding […]

The Indianapolis Colts finally got back on track with their first win last week, a much needed win after an 0-3 start. With great performances from key players in Carson Wentz and Jonathan Taylor, as well as a clean, efficient day from the defense against the shorthanded Miami Dolphins, it sets the tone for an […]

It’s finally here. After the grind of the 162 game season, 19 head-to-head matchup, and an epic Red Sox-Yankees upset in front of the home crowd at Fenway for the Wild Card, the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox will meet for the American League Division Series, starting on Thursday. The series is a […]

Coming off of a comfortable win against the aging, declining talent of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers head into Paul Brown stadium in Week 5 to take on the young, ascending Cincinnati Bengals. Green Bay’s win over Pittsburgh saw Aaron Rodgers play a standard, mistake-free game, as he hit on 20 of 36 […]
