Week feature some big games that could impact the college football playoff picture. Here goes! Thursday, October 26 No. 20 Stanford (-20) at Oregon State: Oregon State is a mess right now.

Friday, October 27 Tulane (-11) at No. 24 Memphis: Memphis is…

By Nicholas Billy Here we are at the end of Week 7 and the dominant Eagles lose their most valuable asset on their offensive line in Jason Peters. Peters suffering a torn ACL and MCL has been placed on IR. Where does this leave the Eagles and how do they rebound from such a devastating loss? It is almost impossible to replace someone like Peters especially when he is responsible…
Penn State and Norte Dame announced their presence with impressive wins over Michigan and USC this weekend. Here are my thoughts on Week 8. 1. Is it possible to feel bad for Jimbo Fisher and Florida State? After years of dominating the ACC and winning a national championship in 2014, they look awful right now. I don’t see them making a bowl game. They have to win four of their…
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…

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…
