With three weeks to go in the NFL season, the games, similar to the NBA, have become an afterthought to the sudden surging of COVID-19 cases across the country, giving the nation a March 2020 feel, when it comes to news of the virus. Even with the 2020 NFL season being played with virtually no … Continue reading Gut Check Time: Two key Week 16 divisional battles may decide AFC East, AFC North
Week 15 began on Thursday in Los Angeles with a rivalry tilt between the Kansas City Chiefs and L.A. Chargers. A wild, back-and-forth contest was ended in overtime, when Patrick Mahomes found Travis Kelce over the middle, and the shifty tight end making several Chargers miss on a 34-yard touchdown catch and scamper for the … Continue reading Burning Questions 🔥: NFL MVP race down to two candidates + Jags’ next HC, Russell Wilson ’22 landing spot
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Monday's night's showdown in Buffalo marked the biggest AFC East game in a decade, maybe more. The New England Patriots (9-4) and Buffalo Bills (7-5) would battle it out in the first of two meetings that would likely decide the division. However, it would be the weather, that would decide the … Continue reading NFL Tuesday Morning Madness Week 13: Patriots out-muscle, out-game Bills in windy, situational football
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- In a season where no team has been consistently good, or even consistent, the Green Bay Packers (9-3) are starting to show their teeth as perhaps the NFC's most complete club. The Cheeseheads, led by Aaron Rodgers (28 of 45, 307 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT) defeated the Los Angeles Rams … Continue reading NFL Monday Morning Madness Week 12: Are Packers the league’s most complete team?
Thanksgiving is the time to be thankful for what you have. For me, like many, that includes a wonderful family, a great group of friends, football (of course), and food – and tons of it, I might add. (I stuffed myself on Thursday.) Thanksgiving also feels like an unofficial end of fall/beginning of winter, and … Continue reading Tackling the post-Thanksgiving stretch: Who are the Super Bowl contenders?
This seasons continues to be an "up-for-grabs" campaign, with every team in the league now sporting two losses, and the AFC continuing to be a "who-wants-it?" affair, unless you think the Titans (7-0 vs 2020 playoff teams) sans Derrick Henry will not lose again this year. https://twitter.com/AndrewSiciliano/status/1460254205646573568 As much of the league continues to folly … Continue reading NFL Tuesday Morning Madness Week 10: Here come the Patriots, Chiefs + what’s wrong with the Bucs?
This past week of football was initially going to be highlighted for having the most Super Bowl rematches in a single week (5) in NFL history, but just as recent weeks have unfolded, as soon as the early slate of games kicked off on Sunday, mayhem ensued. https://twitter.com/ScottHanson/status/1457462981319544836 By the end of the night, four … Continue reading NFL Monday Morning Madness Week 9: ‘Any Given Sunday’ moniker was earned this weekend
This has already been a weird season. On Halloween night, things got crazier, as the league tightened even further in Week 8 (especially in the standings), forcing us prognosticators to have more questions, and less answers when it comes to predicting how things will go in January and February. So, let's take it to Quick-Hits, … Continue reading NFL Monday Morning Madness Week 8: Saints shock Brady, Bucs + the crazy AFC
What initially looked like a rough slate of games heading into the weekend, proved so in Week 7. If you took the two most interesting early games (Chiefs-Titans, Bengals-Ravens) and the "TV ratings" slot in the late afternoon (Bears-Buccaneers), and combined the scores, you'd get a 106-23 total, with all three contests finishing with at … Continue reading NFL Monday Morning Madness Week 7: Titans’ dominance + Chiefs’ woes
The marquee 'TV ratings' matchup in the Sunday late afternoon window delivered a classic on Sunday. Cowboys 35, Patriots 29, in overtime, in Foxboro, Massachussetts. It was the Cowboys' first win in six tries versus Bill Belichick's Patriots, and it was Dallas' first win over New England since a 12-6 victory over the Pats in … Continue reading NFL Tuesday Morning Madness Week 6: Cowboys-Patriots classic featured two teams in wildly different places
