Gridiron Preview, Week 11
Week eleven is here and that means the weather is starting to get colder, the playoff picture is starting to come into focus and certain teams are having to decide whether or not they are ready to start tanking. Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 10
Three games from this week stood out to me – CIN/BAL, SF/TB, and PIT/WAS. These three games were well played and very close. All three had a playoff feel to them. They were intense, there were stakes, and the quality of football was better in these three games than in most of the others from… Read more

Hits and Misses, Week 10
Feels like I’ve said this before, but holy cow those were some amazing finishes to games! The analyst in me, trying to accurately predict winners every week, was sweating bullets. But the fan in me loved every one of those games. So for the week I went 10 – 3, and I have the Rams… Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 10
Finally, the election is over and we can get back to arguing about the things that are really important – like who is going to make the playoffs this year! Last week I talked about whether or not the AFC or NFC is the better/more competitive conference. The NFC really has a big middle section… Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 9
For whatever reason, this was a hard week for me to get excited about. There were some compelling divisional matchups for sure, but there was something missing this week. And I think the teams felt it too. There was a lack of urgency in the games. It kind of felt like half the league took… Read more

Hits and Misses, Week 9
And we’re back! 11-3 so far this week with the picks, giving me a 88-48 overall record for the season – with a chance for a dozen wins if Kansas City comes through tonight. This week’s Hits and Misses is going to be a little different. Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 9
Well here we are, eight weeks into the season. We’re not quite at the halfway point, but it feels like its the right time to start doing some mid season reviews. I set out to review the whole NFL in one column, but that ended up being too much. So I’m going to break this… Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 8
A week where over half the games were decided on the last possession of the game is always a good week! But most of these games were close because teams were settling for field goals rather than getting touchdowns. If you look at Minnesota, Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, Las Vegas, and last night’s game between… Read more

Hits and Misses, Week 8
Ouch. That was a tough week for the picks. But it was a great week for close and exciting games. The Hail Mary in Washington was one of the plays that had me jumping around the house from the excitement. New England getting the last minute win against the Jets was another. Neither outcome helped… Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 8
We’ve almost made it to the midpoint of the season. It certainly hasn’t gone the way any of us predicted before the season started, but isn’t that the beauty of the game? It’s like the best reality television show you can find. Every week there’s a new storyline, new villains, new heroes, twists and turns… Read more
