We’re a couple of weeks from the midpoint of the season. Every year there’s a debate about whether the AFC or the NFC is the tougher conference.

Late night for the Sunday games on this week five rollercoaster. Not a great week for the picks. Only managed a 7-6 record so far with Kansas City the pick for tonight. That still leaves me with a respectable 47-30 record for the season. Usually I have this column to hold my predictions accountable, where… Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 5
We’ve reached the quarter point of the season and the first bye weeks are starting. What have we learned so far? Mostly that the experts have no idea who is going to be good and who is going to be bad until the games are actually played. Offense is weird this year. Yards seem to… Read more
