The Buffalo Bills Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans is the team’s second primetime game in as many weeks. Ahead of this Monday Night Football matchup, we’ll be making some bold Bills Week 2 predictions.

The New York Giants Week 2 matchup vs. the Carolina Panthers is a chance for the G Men to start a season 2-0 for the first time since 2016. As Brian Daboll looks to keep his head coaching record spotless, we’ll make some bold Giants Week 2 predictions ahead of Giants-Panthers on Sunday at 1 […]

Patrick Mahomes put up 360 passing yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 44-21 Kansas City Chiefs Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals. This performance solidified the fact that Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the NFL right now. It also means that the QB is on pace to be the greatest […]

The Indianapolis Colts collapsed in the last game of the season last year, losing to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars and missing out on the 2021 playoffs. Colts fans, media, and the organization as a whole placed the blame squarely on quarterback Carson Wentz and shipped him off to Washington. However, after replacing Wentz with Matt […]

The Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback situation was one of the worst in the league coming into 2022 with Cooper Rush as QB2. Now with the Dak Prescott injury situation, it looks like Jerry Jones has two options. He can go with Rush and possibly lose a grip on the season or look for a Cowboys […]

It was deja vu all over again for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. After suffering an embarrassing 38-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 last season, the Packers put up another stinker in this year’s opener, losing to the division rival Minnesota […]

The first game of the 2022 NFL season was an exciting one … for a half. After being deadlocked 10-10 at halftime, the Buffalo Bills pulled away from the defending Super Bowl champ Los Angeles Rams and scored 21 unanswered points to win the game comfortably, 31-10. There are a lot of people on the […]

On the eve of the 2022 NFL season, Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta put out a statement announcing that long-term Lamar Jackson contract talks between the quarterback and the organization are over until after the season. Without a Lamar Jackson extension on the books, the QB will make $23 million in the final year […]

After any NFL loss, there is always plenty of blame to go around. After the defending Super Bowl champs give up 21 unanswered points in the second half to get blown out at home, there are even more fingers to point. That’s what happened Thursday night when the Buffalo Bills came into SoFi Stadium and […]

The Las Vegas Raiders Week 1 matchup with the division rival Los Angles Chargers is almost here. Both these teams have big expectations heading into the 2022 season, but with this first game, only one can get off on the right foot in the gauntlet of the AFC West. With this in mind, let’s look […]

The Kansas City Chiefs Week 1 matchup vs. the Arizona Cardinals is now just a few days away. With Patrick Mahomes and company about to start a new year, let’s make some bold Chiefs Week 1 predictions before the Chiefs, Cardinals matchup kicks off. The 2022 NFL season is a transitional campaign for the Chiefs […]

When the San Francisco 49ers came within a field goal of making the Super Bowl last season, Jimmy Garoppolo was the quarterback. Just over seven months later, the bones of that near-Super Bowl team are almost the same, but there is a new man under center. Trey Lance begins his first season as a full-time […]

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens had a disappointing 2021 season. Injuries plagued the Ravens last year, and Jackson was no exception. The MVP QB played just 12 games and missed the playoffs for the first time in his career because of it. Now, Jackson is back and ready to roll in a contract year […]

After considerably less (but still some) hemming and hawing this offseason, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back for his 18th NFL season. This season, the Packers will look a bit different on offense than they did when the QB last walked off the frozen tundra at Lambeau Field after the shocking Divisional Round […]

The hotly anticipated Minnesota Vikings Week 1 matchup vs. the rival Green Bay Packers is finally just days away. Expectations are high for Kevin O’Donnell, Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, and the crew this season, and the toughest test comes right off the bat. So, what better time to make some bold Vikings Week 1 predictions […]

The San Francisco 49ers are now just days away from opening their 2022 NFL season vs. the Chicago Bears. The team that was just minutes away from a Super Bowl trip at the end of last season made plenty of changes this offseason that they hope will help get them over the hump in 2022 […]

The San Francisco 49ers 2022 bold predictions are positive, overall. The team looks good heading into the 2022 NFL season, and there is reason for optimism regarding Trey Lance at quarterback, despite Jimmy Garoppolo staying with the squad. The team that made the 2021 NFC Championship game may have a new QB, but the core […]

The nonsense of the NFL preseason is finally over and the 2022 NFL season is upon us. That means the time for speculation is over and the time for results is here. Well, almost over. There is still time for some Minnesota Vikings’ bold predictions for the 2022 NFL season heading into Week 1 vs. […]

The Buffalo Bills Week 1 opponent is the Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams. The teams will play on Thursday, September 8, 2022, to kick off the entire 2022 NFL season. This game is filled with superstars, including All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Ahead of this Prime Time matchup, Bills fans and fantasy owners alike […]

The Green Bay Packers are angling for their fifth-straight NFC North title in 2022. The biggest difference between this campaign and the last four for Aaron Rodgers and company, though, is that wide receiver Davante Adams won’t be part of it. The Packers trade that sent Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders left a hole […]

The Las Vegas Raiders had an excellent offseason. New head coach Josh McDaniels brought in All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams and All-Pro pass-rusher Chandler Jones. The Raiders roster is now deep and talented (almost) across the board. The only problem is the Raiders offensive line. With the season just days away, there aren’t many realistic […]

You know the new NBA season is close when you hear the bounce of the balls, the squeak of the sneakers, and a Cam Reddish trade request. The No. 10 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft played two-plus seasons for the Atlanta Hawks (118 games) before requesting a trade. That season’s Cam Reddish trade destination […]

The Buffalo Bill shave one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the entire NFL. Because of that, head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane had to make some tough decisions during the final round of Bills roster cuts. For the most part, when the tale of the tape was close, McDermott […]

As NFL teams go about finalizing their rosters for Week 1 of the 2022 regular season, players around the league are available not only through free agency but via trade as well. Valuable players who are no longer in one team’s plans can be incredibly helpful for another. This is the situation the Minnesota Vikings […]

After the final round of Kansas City Chiefs roster cuts, the 53-man roster is set. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Andy Reid and Brett Veach’s wheeling and dealing is done ahead of the team’s Week 1 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. The final roster still contains players who likely won’t see much action for Kansas […]

The Baltimore Ravens 53-man roster is now official, as the team heads into a Week 1 battle vs. the New York Jets. The Ravens roster is deep and talented with an All-Pro quarterback (and a solid backup), good offensive line depth, a slew of talented tight ends, and a strong secondary. That said, after the […]

The Washington Commanders quarterback situation needed an upgrade after patching together the most important position in football last season with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen, and Garrett Gilbert. This season, Ron Rivera traded for Carson Wentz and drafted North Carolina QB Sam Howell in the fifth round. Carson Wentz will start the season under […]

The horrific allegations against former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza are far more significant right now than anything else. There is also an important conversation around the Bills handling of the entire saga that is worth having. Football is secondary when terrible real-life events happen, but the NFL always goes on. And right now, Buffalo […]

As we inch closer and closer to the 2022 New York Giants season, questions remain over who will be Daniel Jones’ top target. The good news for Jones, Brian Daboll, and Giants fans is that the breakout wider receiver seems like it will be rookie second-round draft pick Wan’Dale Robinson. The bad news is that […]

The final Buffalo Bills 53-man roster must be set by August 30. Between now and then, head coach Sean McDermott has some tough decisions to make. While much of the roster was set before the Bills preseason even started, there are a few players who seemed like locks just a short time ago who could […]

The Minnesota Vikings Week 3 preseason game vs. the Denver Broncos is the last chance for Kevin O’Connell and company to get a look at the roster before final cuts and the team’s Week 1 showdown with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. To get fans ready for the Vikings, Broncos tilt, here are […]

As the Las Vegas Raiders preseason comes to an end against the New England Patriots, new head coach Josh McDaniels has some big decisions to make ahead of the final round of Raiders roster cuts. With the 2022 Raiders 53-man roster due on August 30, several surprising veterans could be on the chopping block. These […]

As the 2022-23 NBA season rapidly approaches, it is time for the Cleveland Cavaliers (and all NBA teams) to start making final roster tweaks to start the year off on the right foot. For Cleveland, this means deciding whether or not to make a trade before the preseason starts on October 5, or the regular […]

As the Buffalo Bills preseason Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers approaches, let’s take a look at some bold Bills Week 3 preseason predictions for this Bills, Panthers matchup. Bills head coach Sean McDermott has already admitted that most of the starters, including quarterback Josh Allen, will not play in the Bills, Panthers game […]

The Los Angeles Lakers made a bold move this week, trading Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz for Patrick Beverley. Before this Lakers trade, LA was a borderline play-in team in the Western Conference. After this trade, the Lakers are actually contenders again, all because Beverley is exactly who LeBron James and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are making moves. Just two weeks after LeBron James agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million extension to stay a little longer in LA, Rob Pelinka made a bold move in the hopes of improving the team for next season. The Lakers trade Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one final preseason game against the Detroit Lions before Mike Tomlin has to decide on the final Steelers 53-man roster for 2022. That makes this game crucial to several players who Tomlin will have to make a tough decision about ahead of the final Steelers roster cuts. The toughest decision might […]

Following the Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Week 3 preseason game, the final Packers roster cuts are due and the official 2022 Packers 53-man roster will be revealed. Before that time, several players have a chance to step up and make their case to stay with the team. If these players don’t play […]

After the Kansas City Chiefs play the Green Bay Packers in their final 2022 preseason game, it will be time for Andy Reid and Brett Veach to start deciding on the final Chiefs 53-man roster. That means players like Ronald Jones’ Chiefs tenure could be coming to an end. Before the final Chiefs roster cuts, […]
