It’s the time of year when hot takes and predictions run rampant. Nobody knows how anything is going to go, so the m...
Some bettors think this bottom feeder is going to win the Super Bowl?
When I think of potential 2023 Super Bowl winners, I think of the Bills, the Bucs, the Chargers, the Bengals, and maybe even the Denver Broncos — the AFC West is stacked — depending on how risky I’m feeling. Perhaps that’s why, according to OddsChecker US, they make up four of the five teams receivi...

Deebo Samuel wanting out of San Fran adds another mystery to an eventful offseason

The NFL landscape changed drastically Tuesday afternoon once the Russell Wilson to Denver news broke.

Aaron Donald’s reign of terror places him in pantheon of generational defensive players
Offensive highlights litter every catalog of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, and even fewer of those great plays involve lumbering defensive linemen.
