Pick of the week: Chiefs (+8.5) at Saints

  Well the first two weeks have not exactly gone as planned with the weekly pick. Andrew Luck stole it last week and the Jets felt like scoring a lot in Week 1, so lets try to get back on the winning road this week. The Saints have been a disaster thus far. Everyone expected […]

Pick of the week: Vikings (-1.5) at Colts

  While we watch every move that Andrew Luck makes in his rookie season, and endlessly compare every throw he makes to Peyton, many of the Colts deficiencies will go overlooked. Sure Luck is a great player, but much of his week one success was in garbage time against the Bears. Reggie Wayne is still […]

5 stories to watch for on Monday Night Football

  Tonight we have the blessing of two MNF games that will take us late into the night on the East Coast and have us questioning why we stayed up until one in the morning to watch the Chargers, but we will do it anyways. After a full dose of games yesterday, and almost too […]

Pick of the week: Bills (+2.5) vs. Jets

Week one means it is time for the first pick of the week. The season opener did not exactly go how many people planned, so lets hope that everyone out there with some action on the game will be able to make it back up on Sunday. Full slate of games to start the day, […]

Loading up the corner

The league is going to the spread. We are made aware of this on a daily basis, and the first game of the season proved that the theme is alive and well. It is no longer about balancing the ground game and the passing attack. Runs seem to be used for little more than short […]

Jets circus continues

  Another day, another ridiculous story out of Jets camp.  The media spin that surrounds the Jets is truly something to behold with Tebow in town, and a few weeks ago the scorn turned towards the right tackle of all people. Wayne Hunter was struggling in camp, that was no question, but it suddenly became […]

Too soon to cut Ocho?

  You have already know the details of the story. Ochocinco was arrested last night on domestic abuse charges after allegedly head butting his new bride and star of the reality circuit. He was taken into custody for the first time in his life. He was released upon posting bond. The legal action was going […]

Should we care?

  Should we care?  We are lucky enough to have Sunday's only because we have Saturday's. The modern iteration of professional football would not be possible without the minor league system that is college athletics. The irony of referring to it as amateur athletics has been well documented, but needs to be addressed again in […]

Fear Cam

  Fear Cam There will no sophomore slump. There will be no step back.  He probably won't start the season with a pair of 400-yard games, but the overall production of Cam will be better than last season, and next season it will be better than this season.  Some have already begun to predict that […]

Young and fast

We are now moving into the post feature back era, in which entire teams are no longer built around specific backs with all-around skills, but rather a collection of specialists designed to keep opposing teams off balance at all times.  This has been coming for years, as the kill rate of feature backs is simply […]

Browns plan is on track

While some ownership deals drag on for weeks and months, the Cleveland Browns got sold this week without anything in the way of prior public knowledge. As soon as the new owner Jim Haslam III took the reigns of the organization, there was thought around the league that this could negatively affect the path that […]

NFC South is ripe for upheaval

While it is not the major market overload of the East, the NFC South features not only a collection of some of the best teams in the league, but also enough story lines to last a life time. From bounty-gate to the Bucs spending money faster than they can print it, it was a bit […]

When the sky changes

This is about concussions. Again with the endless talk about concussions, but this will not go away. Players are suffering massive brain trauma as a result of repeated blows to the head. Remember Priest Holmes? There was a stretch of just under two years when he was the best back in the league. The Chiefs were […]

2012 NFL Draft First Round Recap

The madness that was the first round of the draft has finally come to an end. The top end of the draft was ripe with trades as teams panicked to get the guy they wanted. The teens were fairly relaxed with some picks that fell in line with most projections and then it got wild […]

A turning tide: the Cleveland Browns woes are changing fast

The Cleveland Browns have struggled for the better part of the past decade. From the days of Derek Anderson slinging to Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, to Tim Couch doing his best to depress the people of Cleveland a bit more.  But despite slow progress on the field, the pieces seem to be falling into […]
