This NFL season has been completed over nine weekends and 144 games, and we have already learned so much. For instance, the Kansas City Chiefs may be on the path to completing the NFL’s third-ever undefeated campaign, with the 1972 Dolphins and 2007 Patriots having accomplished the feat before them. Thus, the NFL Playoff Picture has already begun to take shape. There are surprise clubs that have positioned themselves as we step into November, and there are just as many clubs we expect to be holding down these positions that will almost certainly continue to do so as the weather…

Super Bowl 58 happened, as of present time, eight months ago. On that February Night, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs took down the San Francisco 49ers to claim their third Lombardi trophy since 2019. That matchup was a rematch of Super Bowl 54, which started the growing dynasty helmed by Andy Reid and quarterbacked by Mahomes. Many expect that this will not be the last banner to be raised by the defending champions. Flash forward eight months, and here we go again: the Chiefs and 49ers are gearing up for a rematch, this time in San Francisco’s backyard. The Chiefs…
The 2024-25 College Football season began 35 days ago, when Florida State fell to Georgia Tech in Dublin. In the intervening 35 days, we have learned plenty about where this season is ultimately headed. The first College Football Playoff rankings are still a month away (to be revealed for the first time on November 5th), but until then, we can still review the first month of games to learn important lessons in this first season of the new 12-Team College Football Playoff system. College Football 2024: What We Have Learned At The 1 Month Mark Florida State’s collapse should be…
The four AFC North squads — Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers — commenced training camps this week. The NFL’s most competitive division, one in which all four teams finished above .500 in 2023, will return for an encore performance in 2024. Joe Burrow is back under center for the Bengals after missing the final month and a half of 2023. Meanwhile, Mike Tomlin will start his team’s campaign looking to preserve his long-running streak of seasons in which his teams finished with a winning record, and Deshaun Watson looks to shake off his 2023 injuries to…
For the four AFC East clubs, the drumbeat towards beginning the 2024 NFL season kicked off in earnest this week with the commencement of training camps. The Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and New England Patriots are all gunning to claim the AFC East crown in 2024, but three will fall short. An offseason of changes swept through all four clubs, including Buffalo trading away Stefon Diggs amidst an offseason of sweeping changes by Lake Erie, and the Patriots drafting Drake Maye. Miami’s locking down of their star QB Tua Tagovailoa, however, leaves Miami as the likely frontrunner…
Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets will get their second chance for this 2024 NFL campaign like a phoenix rising from the ashes. After another offseason where Rodgers only added to his growing list of controversies, he and other Jets veterans are only one day from seeing the Jets’ training camp facilities in Florham Park, New Jersey. 2023 began as a season of high hopes for the Jets, having just acquired Rodgers earlier in that offseason, and then he tore his Achilles on just the fourth play of Week 1. He insinuated a return in 2023 was possible, then…
It’s now July. The New York Giants have, for the most part, finished off their offseason and are now just weeks away from commencing training camp. The 17-game slate, which will see the Giants return to the international stage for the first time since 2022, is just over two months away. Brian Daboll’s squad finished 2023 6-11, a season that ended with an odd drama between now-former DC Wink Martindale and the Front Office amidst several devastating injuries. The offseason, while featuring some major gains including rookie WR Malik Nabers, other losses occurred, including both Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney.…
Tom Brady and his impact on the game of football will never be forgotten. The seven-time Super Bowl champion finally walked away from the playing field at the end of the 2022 season. Brady began his post-playing career by engaging in a protracted battle to win a minority ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. All the while, Brady has prepared to put on the headset for the first time as an NFL Broadcaster, and he will step into the FOX booth to replace Greg Olsen this fall, a move that some have questioned. His first appearance in the FOX booth…
The New York Giants drafted Wan’Dale Robinson on the second day of the 2022 NFL Draft. While the team envisioned a specific plan for how to use the Kentucky star, his rookie campaign didn’t even make December before he tore his ACL. Fast forward 18 months and a full season, and Robinson may hold the secret to restarting an anemic New York Giants offense for 2024 and beyond. Wan’Dale Robinson led Giants in 2023 The New York Giants as a team finished in the bottom four of several key areas on its offense in 2023 en route to finishing with…
The New York Giants face an important 2024 season ahead. The third season of Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen began with losing the team’s number-two pick from 2018, culminating with drafting Malik Nabers sixth overall. The schedules for this 2024 season were unveiled last night, with 272 matchups to be played in the 18 weeks of the season. While predicting the full season record output before any player steps on a field can be a futile task, we can still run through and attempt to predict the outcome based on the results of this offseason. With…
