The New York Knicks record is 3-1 after four games, and offseason acquisition Jalen Brunson is a big reason why. Heading into the 2022-23 Knicks season, the team passed on signing most free agents and didn’t win the bidding war for Donovan Mitchell. The team’s big move was a Jalen Brunson contract for four years […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have started the 2022-23 NBA season 0-4. The franchise seems to be in shambles, and there doesn’t seem to be many players on the current roster who can fix it. One of (if not) the biggest problems for LA is the team’s 3-point shooting. Through four games, the team is shooting […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are the premier franchise in the NBA. With 17 championships in the trophy case, dating back to the BAA Minneapolis Lakers days, only the Boston Celtics can rival the Lakers’ historical achievements. The 2022-23 Lakers, though, might be the worst team in the league right now. The Lakers’ record is 0-4, […]

As the 2022 NFL trade deadline approaches on November 1, some teams are buyers, and some teams are sellers. What should the Las Vegas Raiders trade deadline plans be? At 2-4 on the season, the Raiders trades should (and have already started to be) of the selling variety. There are some good trade candidates on […]

The 2022 NFL trade deadline on November 1 is rapidly approaching. With that, there are some teams that are buyers and some that are sellers. The Green Bay Packers, even at 3-4 on the season, absolutely have to fall into the “buyers” category. There are still 10 games left in the regular season and the […]

In “what else is new?” news, the Los Angeles Lakers still desperately want to make a Russell Westbrook trade. Heading into the season, Lakers fans, the media, and the team itself all thought the former NBA MVP was cooked, and they were all absolutely right. Westbrook is no longer a shadow of his former self […]

With a Week 7 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Houston Texans dropped to 1-4-1 on the season. Not that the team had playoff hopes going into the game, but with just over a week to go before the NFL trade deadline on November 1, the Texans need to start thinking about making some […]

The Commanders Week 7 win vs. the Green Bay Packers was a huge W that allows the NFC East team to stay in the NFC Wild Card race. Without starting quarterback Carson Wentz, backup Taylor Heinicke led a comeback against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to move the Commanders to 3-4 on the season. Heinicke […]

The Dallas Cowboys Week 7 win against Detroit Lions was most notable for featuring the return of Dak Prescott. The franchise quarterback hadn’t played since Week 1, and after a solid relief effort by Cooper Rush, some questioned if the backup game manager was better for the team than the returning star. In the Cowboys-Lions […]

The Seattle Seahawks Week 7 matchup vs. the Las Angeles Chargers is a chance for Pete Carroll’s crew to get on the right side of .500 for the first time since Week 1. The Seahawks-Chargers game won’t be easy for the road team in LA, but there is a good chance Seattle can come away […]

The New Orleans Saints had a big opportunity on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals to beat a struggling NFC opponent and keep the team squarely in the thick of the NFC Wild Card and NFC South playoff races. Instead, Andy Dalton threw two pick-sixes to close out the second quarter, the Saints now find […]

The 2022 NFL trade deadline is still over a week away, but the blockbuster of the season just went down with the San Francisco 49ers trade for Christian McCaffrey. The 49ers got the All-Pro running back, and, in turn, the Carolina Panthers got 2023 second-, third-, and fourth-round picks and a 2024 fifth-round pick. The […]

The Los Angeles Clippers kick off the 2022-23 NBA season with an “away” game against their rival Los Angeles Lakers. This season starts with a lot of promise for the team, as Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and offseason addition John Wall begin in full health, and any Clippers predictions have to include a forecast of […]

The Las Vegas Raiders Week 7 matchup vs. the Houston Texans is a crucial game for the Silver and Black. At 1-4, this tilt against the 1-3-1 Texans could be the Raiders’ last chance to salvage their season. Ahead of this Raiders-Texans contest, we’ll some bold Raiders Week 7 predictions Despite sky-high expectations heading into […]

The Buffalo Bills stand at 5-1 heading into their bye week in Week 7. After beating the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 6, the team has solidified itself as one of the best teams in the league and a true Super Bowl contender. The Bills roster is incredibly solid, but that doesn’t […]

As the NBA season gets underway, one of the last unsettled bit of business from the offseason is the pending Jae Crowder trade. The Phoenix Suns and the 10-year NBA veteran have mutually decided to part ways. The only thing left to do is to find the right trade partner. Rumors have Crowder being interested […]

The 2022-23 NBA season is here, which means it’s time to make our wagers on NBA over/under wins for the season. When looking at this season’s NBA odds, one of the most interesting bets is the New York Knicks over/under wins total. The team made some franchise-altering moves this offseason, like giving RJ Barrett a […]

After three straight 13-win seasons, the Green Bay Packers are just 2-4 heading into Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season. The biggest reason for this is that Aaron Rodgers’ offense is a mess. The back-to-back MVP quarterback hasn’t thrown for more than 255 yards in a game, and none of his wide receivers have […]

The 2022 NFL season is a season of “parity.” Translation: most NFL teams stink this season. There are only six out of 16 AFC teams over .500 heading into Week 7 and just four out of 16 in the NFC. With all these lackluster records a third of the way through the season, it’s time […]

The Green Bay Packers Week 6 loss to the New York Jets was just the latest misstep in what has already become a nightmare season for Aaron Rodgers and his team. There is plenty of blame to go around for the Packers players and coaches after the 24-10 loss at Lambeau Field. However, there are […]

The Buffalo Bills finally got their revenge for the infamous 13-seconds game against the Kansas City Chiefs in last season’s playoffs. In the Bills Week 6 game, the team traveled to Arrowhead Stadium and beat their AFC Rival 24-20 to get a leg up in the 2022 AFC home-field advantage race. There were plenty of […]

The New York Giants Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens was a watershed game for the franchise. The 24-20 comeback win took the team to 5-1 and put them in the driver’s seat of the NFC Wild Card race. There are plenty of Giants takeaways from this game, as the team, Saquon Barkley, and […]

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder is a 10-year NBA veteran who’s brought his toughness and 3-and-D ability to seven different NBA teams. After the last two seasons of being a key starter on the Western Conference contender Suns, both the team and the player are ready to move on. The franchise has shut the 32-year-old […]

Ahead of the Carolina Panthers Week 6 matchup with the defending champion Los Angeles Rams, the franchise dominated national NFL headlines. Unfortunately, it was for all the wrong reasons as owner David Tepper fired coach Matt Rhule. Life in the NFL keeps moving, though, so ahead of Panthers-Rams, here are some bold Panthers predictions. Rhule […]

The Knicks has an eventful offseason, although they didn’t make the splash […]

The Dallas Mavericks 2022-2023 season gets underway on Friday, October 19 against the Phoenix Suns. The Mavs had a successful season last year, making it all the way to the Western Conference Finals, but a championship still eludes Mavs superstar Luka Doncic and team owner Mark Cuban. As the 2022-23 NBA season gets ready to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers Week 6 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers represents game 2.5 of the Kenny Pickett Era. Unfortunately for the young QB, he’ll see the legend Tom Brady on the other sideline of the Steelers-Buccaneers game. For this young vs. old face-off, we’ll be making a few bold Steelers Week 6 predictions. The […]

The Green Bay Packers Week 6 matchup with the New York Jets became a must-win game for Aaron Rodgers and company the second the clock his zero against the New York Giants in London. Ahead of this Packers-Jets contest, we’ll be making some bold Packers Week 6 predictions. The Packers are now 3-2 and have […]

The week between Weeks 5 and 6 of the 2022 NFL season will go down as one of the most eventful (and possibly most impactful) in Carolina Panthers history. Owner David Tepper fired head coach Matt Rhule, and reports emerged about superstar running back Christian McCaffrey being unhappy with the organization. After these reports, the […]

Before the season started, almost no one thought that in the New York Giants Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens the Giants would have the better record. But here we are, with the Giants-Ravens game featuring a 4-1 New York squad vs. a 3-2 Baltimore side. Ahead of this surprisingly interesting contest, let’s make […]

The Buffalo Bills Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs is the most anticipated game of the 2022 NFL season. The game is on Sunday at 4:25 pm ET and should be one of the most-watched games of the NFL season. Ahead of Bills-Chiefs, let’s make some bold Bills Week 6 predictions. The last […]

The Matt Rhule Era with the Carolina Panthers mercifully came to an end on Monday after 38 games, 11 wins, 27 losses, and a 1-4 start to the 2022 NFL season. The Panthers head coach came from the college ranks and will likely go back after owner David Tepper relieved him of his NFL duties. […]

The Los Angeles Rams Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys drops them to 2-3 since winning the Super Bowl eight months ago. The Rams-Cowboys takeaways from this game show how far LA’s roster has sunk since that glorious day for the franchise in February. Even without Dak Prescott, Dallas was clearly the better team […]

The New York Giants didn’t wrap up a playoff spot or the NFC East with their Week 5 win in London over the Green Bay Packers, but the team did improve to 4-1, and at least two members of the organization boosted their chances for postseason awards. Head coach Brian Daboll made his case for […]

The Draymond Green-Jordan Poole fight could have been much worse. Green sucker punched Poole in a Golden State Warriors practice but, luckily, doesn’t seem to have done serious harm to his teammate. Now, though, the speculation begins about whether the Warriors can keep both these players on the team. So, let’s make the best of a […]

The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have won four NBA titles in the last eight seasons. That makes the Golden State Warriors either an NBA dynasty or the closest thing we’ve seen to one since the 1990s Chicago Bulls. The upcoming 2022-23 NBA season was supposed to be this group’s chance […]

The plan was for the Golden State Warriors to run it back in 2022-23 with last year’s championship team, while the Warriors core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green looked for their fifth title in nine years. However, that plan may have suddenly changed after the vicious Draymond Green-Jordan Poole fight. The two […]

The 2022-23 Chicago Bulls season is about to get underway and the franchise is looking for its first championship since the Michael Jordan Era. Is this the year for the next Bulls championship? The unfortunate answer for the Chicago faithful is that a Bulls NBA Finals trip is unlikely at the end of this season. […]

As usual, the Kansas City Chiefs 2022 season is Super Bowl or bust. Patrick Mahomes’ teams always have sky-high expectations, and this year is no exception. The team did have an odd Week 3 hiccup vs. the Indianapolis Colts, but outside of that, the Chiefs are looking like the Super Bowl contender most fans and […]
