The Boston Red Sox are entering an offseason full of big questions after a rough 2022 season.

The Detroit Lions have fielded one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL through four games of the 2022 season. A big reason for that is because of star running back D’Andre Swift. Swift has been dealing with a shoulder injury as of late, though, which held him out of the Lions Week 4 […]

Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams defense of their Super Bowl championship from last season has gotten off to a pretty rocky start.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to enter their week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills as heavy underdogs.

The New Orleans Saints 2022 season hasn’t started the way they would have liked it to. If it weren’t for their furious rally in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, they would be staring down the barrel of an 0-4 start. They won that game, but their most recent loss in Week 4 at the […]

The Green Bay Packers improved to 3-1 on the season with their Week 4 victory over the New England Patriots. However, it wasn’t without suspense, as the Packers needed every second of the overtime period to pull out a 27-24 win over a beat up Patriots team. A win is a win, but this certainly […]
