With the first full Sunday slate of NFL games in 2023 just a few days away, few teams (maybe none) feel like they're at a crossroads moment as much as these New England Patriots. It's been three years since Tom Brady left what is still the 21st century's most successful North American sports franchise. But … Continue reading 2023 New England Patriots Preview: Make or break season?

As we ring in the new year, 2022, we do so by also saying goodbye to the 2021 NFL regular season. With just one week left to play, the first ever Week 18, seven of eight division titles have been clinched, and 11 of 14 total playoff spots have been filled, with just three more … Continue reading NFL Friday Morning Madness: 2021 Award picks + Final Power Ranking
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
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 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
Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season featured a slew of missed kicks, exciting finishes, and an overarching changing-of-the-guard storyline in the AFC, as the conference dominated by the likes of the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers for most of the 21st century, and the Kansas City Chiefs recently, will seemingly be lead by some … Continue reading NFL Friday Madness: Breaking down the AFC’s early-season contenders
