Week 12 NFL Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser, and Prop Bets
If CeeDee Lamb didn’t get hurt leading up to halftime, the column was looking at a 4-0 week. Instead, we took an otherwise delicious 3-1 showing going into Thanksgiving. Let’s be thankful for not having action on any of those wacky games and opting to wait till the weekend....

Revisiting the Bears' absurd offer for Russell Wilson
The most recent NFL offseason was so chock full of Aaron Rodgers news that it’s easy to forget all the drama that surrounded Russell Wilson and his relationship with the Seattle Seahawks. While Wilson claimed he wanted to remain in Seattle, he did express discontent with how team personnel decisions...

The AASEG is in the process of bringing an NFL and WNBA team to Oakland
Growing up as an African American, it’s rare to see people that look like you have actual ownership of anything, even within our communities. The African American Sports and Entertainment Group has a plan to change this in East Oakland, California. ...

The biggest NFL Thanksgiving “One-hit” wonders of the Super Bowl Era
Gobble gobble, everyone! It’s Thanksgiving, which means it’s once again time to pretend you like your Aunt Bernice’s potato salad, get in stupid verbal fights with your in-laws, and watch the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys play mediocre football. Thanksgiving football has become part of American c...

The Saints redid Taysom Hill’s contract again because NFL contracts, especially his, mean nothing
If ever the NFL decides to give out an award for best contract, there’s no question that it would go to the New Orleans Saints for what they have done with Taysom Hill. He’s been a valuable player for them since 2017 as a utility player. He can play upback on special teams, wildcat quarterback, regu...

The world isn’t ready for the Cordarrelle Patterson HOF dilemma yet
Devin Hester is the greatest return man of all time. I don’t think that’s a very controversial opinion. Sure, some people might disagree, but in general, I imagine most people will either agree or understand how I could think he is. Hester was named to both the NFL Hall of Fame’s All-2000's and 2010...

Have you always wanted to see the bare bottom of Aaron Rodgers’s foot? Boy, do I have some good news for you!
After sitting out of several days of practice last week with an unspecified injury to his pinky toe, Aaron Rodgers left mid-game against the Vikings when it became “very painful.” Then yesterday, Rodgers made another appearance on the Pat McAfee Show — the very program on which we all learned that h...

Vikings player Everson Griffen in disturbing incident at home
According to the Minnesota Vikings and Minnetrista, Minn., police, there has been an ongoing mental health situation at defensive end Everson Griffen’s home since early Wednesday morning. ...

‘Fire Nagy’ chants popping up everywhere — including at his son’s HS game — is going too far
Bears fans, I know you’re upset. This season has been a disaster. They haven’t won a game since Oct. 10, and their most recent loss is to the Baltimore Ravens sans Lamar Jackson. Chicago’s defense has been disappointing, and the offense… has been somewhere between atrocious and promising all season,...

Bears look like Lions’ best shot at a win this year
It’s been nearly a year since the Detroit Lions won a football game. In early December 2020, they managed a 34-30 victory over the Bears, before dropping the last four games of the season. In 2021, Dan Campbell’s squad dropped eight straight — until, rejoice, rejoice, a tie against the Steelers a fe...

Even good things are reasons for Giants fans to be sad
Last night, the Bucs and Giants wrapped up Week 11 of the NFL season. As expected, the Bucs came out with the win by a final of 30-10. This marked the 21st consecutive game where the Giants failed to score 30 or more points. Even with the return of Saquon Barkley, the former No. 2 overall pick, carr...

The Dawg Pound finally realized their QB is mediocre, so they booed him out of his own house
After being booed in the Browns’ 13-10 victory at home over the Detroit Lions, Baker Mayfield is steadily losing favor in Cleveland. I say good on those members of the Dawg Pound that have finally awakened to see Mayfield for who he is. He’s an average NFL quarterback, nothing more, nothing less. Th...

2021 Rookie QB Rankings: Throw the damn towel!
It’s Week 11 of the NFL season, and rookie quarterbacks are always front and center, with some living up to the hype and others not as much. With that, let’s look at how the 2021 rookie class fared in Week 11. ...

If the NFL has seemed a little wacky and unpredictable this season, that’s because it has been wacky and unpredictable
It’s not just you, it’s true. The 2021 NFL season has been highly unusual. Week 11 was the latest example, with the best teams in each conference losing to opponents that entered the week with a record below .500. That’s the second time in three weeks that several of the better teams suffered defeat...

The favorites disappointed again in Week 11, but there is still reason for hope for the Packers, Cowboys, and Chiefs
Another Sunday, another case of the upsets in the NFL. The AFC and NFC leaders both fell to division rivals yesterday, and they weren’t the only teams expected to bring home a victory that disappointed....

Someone please think of the children of Chicago and spare them from Matt Nagy's coaching
Can Bears’ head coach Matt Nagy do anything right? The supposed “offensive genius” currently has Chicago ranking second to last in total offense — more than 20 yards behind the third-worst team, Seattle — and tied WITH DETROIT for the third-fewest points scored in the NFL this season. Nagy has more ...
