The tandem of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski is far from done.

Gronkowski obviously still […]

Is it really the preseason if Terrell Owens doesn’t speak out on a potential return to the NFL?

The Green Bay Packers have historically stuck with their simple yet sharp green and gold jersey with the yellow helmet that has the “G” on it. They have had the retro “Acme Packers” jersey that seemed to be a 50/50 split as to whether or not fans liked it or not. While many teams have […]

Both the Chiefs and Cardinals won by identical 19-16 scores in their respective preseason opening games in Week 1.

Aaron Rodgers has seemingly wielded all the power he has over the Green Bay Packers in recent weeks.

Through two seasons of the Odell Beckham Jr. experiment in Cleveland, things have not gone according to plan.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel played together on the New England Patriots for eight years. With that, it’s clear why they have such a deep friendship that has stand through the test of time. However, that also means constant trolling on and off the field given the […]

In the way that so many smaller, under-the-radar slot receivers do, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has consistently been a guy who simply gets open when it matters most.

The Denver Broncos look to be a much better team than perceived. Their roster is stacked throughout, but the current quarterback battle makes many ponder just how good this team will be.

The Tennessee Titans had a fairly dynamic offense in the 2020 season that featured superstar running back Derrick Henry. Wideout A.J. Brown started to come into his own and Ryan Tannehill was super consistent at quarterback. Then they went and added Julio Jones in the offseason. Now this Titans offense is flat out scary entering […]

The Tennessee Titans head into the 2021 season with high hopes and big goals.

It’s time to continue our NFL odds […]

Not much is expected from the lowly Detroit Lions in 2021-22 — and rightfully so.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off of a disappointing playoff exit after going 12-4 in the regular season. They started the 2020 season 11-0, only to see their lack of run-game doom them. Pittsburgh addressed the problem in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft by selecting running back Najee Harris. Harris should bring […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady is an ageless wonder. The man was the starting quarterback for the winning Super Bowl team in his age-43 season.
