The newly updated tiers: There’s just a ton of mediocrity in the league right now. I bumped the 49ers up to the second tier because of how good McCaffrey looked. I know they always beat the Rams, so I don’t know how impressive a win that was, but I think I was a little too… Read More NFL Week 8 Reactions, Hot Takes and Tiers
Here are your 3-3 teams after Sunday’s action, keeping in mind that tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup is between the 3-2 Chargers and the 2-3 Broncos: Okay, so maybe it’s just 10 teams, but it feels like everyone is 3-3 right now. The asterisks indicate division leaders, meaning three of the eight divisions are led… Read More NFL Week 6 Observations and Hot Takes: The Whole League is 3-3
We’ll go by division: AFC East AFC North AFC West AFC South So my AFC Playoff teams will be as follows: Buffalo, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Indianapolis, LA Chargers, Baltimore and… I guess Denver. I guess I have to say the Bills are the favorites to come out of the AFC after how good they looked… Read More 2022 NFL Predictions, Part 1: Planting the Flag on All 16 AFC Teams
I wanted to see if there were any geographical trends in where the current NFL starting QBs come from, and it turns out, there are strong trends: I’m basing this off of where they grew up and played high school football, to the best of my ability. They are overwhelmingly either from Texas, California, or… Read More Where All the NFL Starting QBs Are From: A Map
I haven’t done my NFL power ratings in a while but we’re back for week 11. The Bills were on top when I last did the ratings (week 7) and they remain on top. They’re just so highly-ranked in virtually every category. Really the only place you can knock them is in strength of schedule,… Read More NFL Week 11 Power Ratings: Bills Remain On Top
The Tennessee Titans have now won 6 straight games have have a record of 8-2, good for sole possession of first place in the AFC. In their 6-games win streak, they have beaten the Bills, the Chiefs (27-3 I’d add), the Colts, the Rams on the road in blowout fashion, and now the Saints. Much… Read More Ryan Tannehill Deserves a Lot of Credit for the Titans’ Success This Year
The NFL recap, injury report and power ratings will be back this week after a brief hiatus. It was another week of mostly blowout games, unfortunately. And guess what: not a single game went to overtime this week! I know I complained about how the NFL was almost at the point of “rigging” games with… Read More NFL Week 7 Recap: Chiefs Crushed, Bengals Blast Baltimore, Brady Schools Fields; Blowouts Galore Yet Again
I guess this means it’s all-but-official that the Bears, who have played in Soldier Field since 1971, will be getting a new home: Jarrett Payton, for those who don’t know, is the late, great Walter Payton’s son. Payton may be the greatest Bear in franchise history, and Jarrett is very well-connected to the Bears organization… Read More Bears Sign Purchase Agreement for Land for New Stadium
This will probably be my last week doing the record-based tiers given that things will start getting a lot more complicated with more games played starting soon. I know we still have Monday Night Football, but I’m going to publish this now and then update it with the Cowboys and Eagles after the game tonight.… Read More NFL Week 3 Tier List: The RAMS are the Best Team in the League
In my post about the Clay Helton firing, I wrote that USC was foolish for waiting this long to fire Clay Helton when Urban Meyer has been on the market since January of 2019. Obviously the moment he stepped down at Ohio State, he became the #1 head coaching candidate. Now he probably wanted to… Read More Is Urban Meyer Going to Take the USC Job?
