Your outlook for Week 3 NFL action
Well, it would seem that the one thing I really can’t do this year is figure out my hometown Eagles, who are consistently better or worse than I am expecting them to be. For the rest of the league, however, I am off to my best start ever, and there are some great...

Mario Williams isn’t a bust afterall; This and other NFL random thoughts
A lot of people called the Mario Williams signing a bust last season when Buffalo’s defense continued to be worse than ever and Williams didn’t do much, at least at first. Truth is, Mario Williams played the first two-thirds or so of the season battling an injury....
It’s already over for some teams: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings
(Won-Loss Record and Last Season’s Final Ranking in parentheses) 1. Denver Broncos (2-0) (1) - “Battle of the Mannings” more like big brother picking on little brother. 2. Seattle Seahawks (2-0) (2) - I can guarantee you no one wants to play these guys in that...
Brian Wilson forgets he plays for the Dodgers
During a recent series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Giants outfielder Juan Perez made an incredible catch near the Dodgers bullpen. At the moment of the catch, you can clearly see former Giants teammate, Brian Wilson, standing to cheer either for a great catch, or...
Manning Brothers show off childhood videos in new documentary
Did you know that Peyton and Eli Manning are BROTHERS?! Shocking. I know. But for most NFL fans, we've only heard stories here and there throughout the entire time the Manning brothers have played in the league together. And to commemorate possibly the last...
Are the Chiefs this year’s dark horse?
Only two weeks have been played in this NFL season, but you have to be looking at the Kansas City Chiefs right now and thinking there just might be something there. Granted, they’re not the only team to get out to a bit of a surprising 2-0 start, but their company in...
A look at your NFL week two matchups
Most years, I spend week 2 of the NFL season trying to dig my way out of the hole I made in week 1 because it’s so tough to pick games early in the season. Well not this season. I went 10-6-1 opening weekend and 2-1 in Best Picks, so I finally start out in the black...
Anquan Boldin isn’t so over the hill; This and other NFL week 1 thoughts
As with any offseason, plenty of big name players changed teams, but did anyone make a bigger week one impact for his team than Anquan Boldin? Coming off a Super Bowl winning season with the Ravens, Boldin, now a member of the team the Ravens beat, the 49ers, caught...

(Won-Loss Record and Last Season’s Final Ranking in parentheses) 1. Denver Broncos (1-0) (2) - All hail Peyton Manning. 2. Seattle Seahawks (1-0) (3) - Got that east coast road monkey off their backs early. 3. San Francisco 49ers (1-0) (4) - Remember when this team...
Why I use birth control: 7 year old Jets fan fights with Bucs fan
New York fans, especially Jets fans, are known to be obnoxious. But when a video was taken from the game Sunday of a 7-year old taunting an adult Bucs fan, I don't think many people thought this kind of aggression would start at such a young age. While listening to...
Steelers loss vs. the Titans is a terrible one
Brace yourselves. The NFL hyperbole-machine is certain to be buzzing after week 1 about the “statement win” San Francisco notched over Green Bay, or how the Broncos came out and “made a statement” against Baltimore. What statement? That Peyton Manning is good? These...
The NFC West is making all the right moves
This is probably the NFC’s toughest division, with two legitimate Super Bowl contenders at the top, and two teams that would win the NFC East on the bottom. Predicted Finish Seattle Seahawks (12-4) (1st seed; NFC Championship Game) San Francisco 49ers (11-5) (5th...
The NFC North is 2nd best division in the NFL
If the NFC West isn’t the best division, then it’s the North, with four teams that could all make a playoff run (and one or two with bigger ambitions than that). Predicted Finish Chicago Bears (10-6) (3rd seed; NFC Divisional Round) Detroit Lions (10-6) (6th seed; NFC...
Can the Bengals overtake the Ravens in the AFC North?
This is clearly the most competitive division in the AFC, with the top three teams all being legitimate contenders, and even the lowly Browns being a very tough out for opponents week in and week out. Predicted Finish Baltimore Ravens (10-6) (4th seed; AFC Divisional...
Can aging Texans make the elusive Superbowl birth?
The AFC South features two solid contenders - the Texans and Colts, and two teams that just aren’t in the Titans and Jaguars. The biggest question coming out of this division is whether the Colts can duplicate their success of a year ago. Predicted Finish: Houston...
Broncos and Chiefs are better, Chargers are meh and the Raiders are still terrible
The AFC West resembles the old NFC West, when the 49ers used to feast on weak competition and secure the #1 seed every year. That’s Denver this year, a Super Bowl contender in a field of also-rans. Predicted Finish Denver Broncos (14-2) (1st seed; Super Bowl loser)...
Will the Falcons make it back to the Superbowl with the Saints heating up?
This is another tough division, and in fact I’m predicting a Brees vs. Manning rematch in the Super Bowl, with Drew Brees somehow besting Peyton again. Predicted Finish: New Orleans Saints (12-4) (2nd seed; Super Bowl Champion) Atlanta Falcons (9-7) Carolina Panthers...
