Never has taking a loss in my straight up picks felt so good. I woke up this morning with a spring in my step. The air never smelled so sweet. The New England Patriots fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII and all is right with the world. More
Our wait is over. Pro Bowls have been played as well as all the college All-Star games leading up to this Sunday at 6:30 p.m EST. Someone will butcher the National Anthem, the NFL will pray every player stands and doesn’t cause a scene and Super Bowl LII will be played. It’s a national holiday and, like most Super Sundays, the New England Patriots (15-3) have crashed the party. More
Sometimes it’s no fun being right. I nailed both NFC and AFC championship picks, straight up and against the spread, and I feel terrible. This NFL season was great in that we had so many new teams fight to get a seat at the big boys’ table. But, in the end, the same old schoolyard bully showed up to screw everything up. More
A week ago, this game had all the hallmarks of a consolation prize as the winner would get to be the team defeated by the New England Patriots in their sixth Super Bowl victory and eight appearance overall. Then Tom Brady’s hand blew up in practice and the NFC Championship between the Minnesota Vikings (14-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) at Lincoln Financial Field suddenly became a lot more interesting.

If it’s not occurred to you just yet, let me put this thought into your head. The NFL final four quarterbacks currently vying for the Super Bowl 52 title are Case Keenum, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles and Tom Brady. Let that really sink in. Marinate on it. Never in the history of the NFL has there been a bigger gap in talent and ability than three of those guys and the future Hall of Famer who will almost certainly destroy at least two of them in head-to-head match ups.

Our final Saturday of football opens with the NFC Divisional round contest pitting the 2016-17 NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons (11-6) against the home-standing Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) at Lincoln Financial Field. More
We’ve reached the final week of the NFL season and the penultimate week of the NFL Power Rankings. Don’t shed a tear for these arbitrary and generally worthless lists. The NFL settles all this nonsense on the field and sometimes the best team doesn’t win. More
Regardless of whatever else we learned, our primary focus is the myriad of sliding doors playoff scenarios ahead of us for Week 17. So with that, let’s kick off our NFL Week 16 look-back with who’s in and how the rest of the field could fill up after next Sunday. More
We’re down to our last two weeks of relevant NFL Power Rankings. Of course, you could argue that they’re never actually relevant. In which case I would just nod, shrug and post them anyway. Enjoy. Happy Holidays! More
There’s still a game to go, but it makes no difference what happens in the Monday Night Football face off between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The NFC Field isn’t set yet, but it’s close. More
You want some arbitrary NFL Power Rankings? Well, you’ve got them. With three weeks to go in the regular season, the table is getting set for the playoffs with three teams already locking playoff spots. While the rest of the current division leaders could still take a dive, we have a pretty good idea who will be playing come January. More
It was the worst possible news to get Monday afternoon, but it’s what we all feared. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz tore his ACL while diving into the end zone in Sunday’s 43-35 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He’ll miss the rest of the season. More
