Week 7 wrapped with the Eagles beating the Redskins last night 34-24 Carson Wentz was spectacular, passing for 268 yards and four touchdown passes in the win. Here are my thoughts on Week 7. 1. The Chiefs are not a Super Bowl contender because they do not have a Super Bowl caliber defense. 2. It’s too bad the Bears are starting a rookie quarterback and have no skill players offensively…
By Nicholas Billy In our first installment of the rookie rundown, I give you my top two offensive rookies of the week and two rookies who did not fare as well. The end result of the game will only be used as a factor for tiebreakers. Good C.J Beathard QB San Francisco 49ers- In Beathard’s first start for the 49ers, he completed 57.9% of his passes going 22-38 for 235…
Courtesy of Kelvin Kuo, USA Today Sports It was another interesting week in what has been an interesting season thus far in the NFL. Here are our studs and duds for Week 7. Studs 1. Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Dallas Cowboys: Elliott had arguably the best game of his young career racking up 219 all purpose yards (147 rushing, 72 receiving) and scoring three touchdowns in the Cowboys 40-10 thrashing of the…
Photo courtesy of Stew Milne-USA TODAY Sports Game Rewind: The Patriots dominated their rematch with the Atlanta Falcons last night winning 23-7. The story of this game was the defense. After giving up an NFL record six 300 yard passing games to opposing quarterbacks, the beleaguered Patriots defense stepped up and shut down Matt Ryan and the Falcons high octane offense. Here are five thoughts on this game. 1. The Defense Showed…
By Mike Vallee, By Michael Vallee A friend of mine likes to say, “Once is a fluke, twice is a trend”. With that in mind my friends and I say set out last week on our second consecutive Patriots road trip, making this officially a tradition. Last year’s inaugural trip was to the depressing dystopian waste land also known as Buffalo, so we were definitely expecting an upgrade with this…
The Patriots host the Falcons tonight in a Super Bowl 51 rematch. Revenge has been the buzz word being thrown around regarding this game. Will the Falcons avenge their loss heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl or will they fall to Tom Brady and the Patriots again. Here are five keys for the Patriots in this one. 1. Find a Way to Get Pressure on Matt Ryan: The Patriots have…
by Jared Leonard We’re focusing on the main slate in NFL DFS. This a tough week at QB in DFS. We are going to be looking for value there and paying up at other positions. Quarterback Not many great options here this week. Drew Brees- Always a potential for 300+ passing yards and 3 TDs. He is on the road this week, but gets to face a terrible Green Bay…
I cannot believe it is already week 8?? What the hell?? Pretty we will be shoveling snow up here in the northeast. Any way, here are my week 8 picks. 1:00 ET Tennessee -6 At Cleveland 46.5: The Titans had a huge come from behind win over the Colts on Monday night and they will look to build some momentum against a Browns team that has once again switched quarterbacks and…
Here is our week 7 edition of Add Em and Drop Em. ADD EM! 1.Orleans Darkwa, RB, New York Giants: Darkwa rushed for 117 yards on 21 carries last week against a stout Broncos run defense. With the Giants passing game being in shambles, Big Blue will lean on their run game more. Darkwa is the best of a mediocre running back corp. 2.Samaje Perine, RB Washington Redskins: With Rob Kelly banged…
By Nicholas Billy The Ezekiel Elliott saga continues to drag on without a resolution in sight. Elliott’s suspension was upheld last week but then he was granted a temporary restraining order that will allow him to play in the next two games. That is great news for the Cowboys and their fans but for other football fans, they have had enough of this cat and mouse game that has dragged…
