Don’t look now, but Aaron Rodgers is the MVP of the NFL — again....
Pete Carroll finally making some sense — but will it be enough to keep Russ cookin’ in Seahawks kitchen?
Pete Carroll and Seattle Seahawks fans are getting a taste of what life without Russell Wilson could be like if he leaves the franchise. The Seahawks were struggling before Wilson injured his right middle finger in their Week 5 game against the Rams, and they’re now 0-2 without him in the starting l...
NFL Week 7: Chiefs take on Titans aaaand…
If you’re not a fantasy football player, you might want to avert your eyes on Sunday, because there isn’t a single matchup that really jumps off the page at you. In fact, there is only one game set to take place between two teams with winning records: Cincinnati (4-2) at Baltimore (5-1), but Cincinn...
Odell Beckham Jr. to the Packers?!
An intriguing trade was proposed recently on First Take by Stephen A. Smith, where he lobbied for the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns to make a deal that teams Odell Beckham Jr. with Aaron Rodgers. Ultimately, I know this comes down to Smith wishing for anything that might knock the Dallas Co...
No Gruden, no problem for Raiders in bounce-back win over Broncos
After a controversial week in Las Vegas, the Raiders were able to pull themselves together on the road and convincingly beat the Denver Broncos, 34-24. Just days removed from former head coach Jon Gruden’s resignation, the Raiders played free, as if there had been a huge burden taken off their shoul...
The Cowboys are built differently this season, but just how much is different?
This game was one of the best of the day....
Bungee jumping mascots, bad football, and a practice squad kicker ending a 20-game losing streak: Jags-Dolphins in England had it all
Once again, the NFL attempted to make Europe even less interested in American football with a poorly-played product on the pitch featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, those who attended the game will share quite a laugh at a pub near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium....
Week 5 NFL Powerless Rankings: NY teams return to form, Fish fried
The 2021 NFL season is starting to pick up and we’re finally starting to get a clear picture of which teams are about that action and which teams are not. We can talk another day about the teams that are actually for real. This is about the teams that are not. As we do each week, let’s take a look a...
Two Super Bowl caliber teams met in L.A., but one came with Justin Herbert, the other Baker Mayfield
If it wasn’t clear to you before that the Browns and Chargers were two of the best teams in the league, then you need to go to Jameis Winston’s eye doctor....
Thursday Night Football offers up Rams as ultimate ‘eye test’ for Seahawks
The NFC West is the best division in football. Don’t give me any of that AFC North business. I love the Browns and Ravens. I think the Bengals are on the upswing of their rebuild, but Cincy and the Steelers are still definitely not contenders in the AFC. Any team in the NFC West could win the confer...
Dallas is loving the ‘D’
One month into the NFL season and look at the Dallas Cowboys defense. No longer are they atrocious on the defensive side of the ball. It’s the way they’re doing it that is more shocking. This Cowboys defense is creating turnovers in ways we haven’t seen from them in a while. But I’ll warn you, Cowbo...
Tom Brady’s return made Bill Belichick’s son look constipated
This game lived up to the hype last night....
These Bengals might be for real
The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t that bad. OK, they’ve been pretty good through the first month of the season, and I don’t think anyone outside of Cincy saw this kind of start on the horizon. A 3-1 start to the season, a road division victory over the floundering Steelers in Pittsburgh, and sole posses...
NFL Week 4 Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser, and Prop Bets
If not for a fluke missed extra point at the end of Chargers-Chiefs last week, we’d be coming off a perfect 4-0 week. But nothing wrong with a 3-0-1 showing (thanks to buying the half-point there)....
The end is near, Giants fans
I’m sorry, New York Giants fans. Someone should apologize to your fan base for the bill of goods you’ve been sold. Management tried to convince you that hiring Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator was a good idea. But you’re an intelligent crowd that knows football, and you knew better having seen...
Watching the Lions do what they do in person never fails to amaze
DETROIT – For sure, the Detroit Lions are getting good at this....
Watch out for Deebo, Packers
After trouncing the defenseless Detroit Simbas on Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers head west for a showdown with the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Niners are one of seven remaining undefeated teams in the NFL after Week 2, with three of those teams residing i...
