It’s official. I am officially on the eight team playoff bandwagon. I’ve always felt it was necessary but I never really lobbied for it. I am now going to start lobbying for it now because too many good teams got left out of the playoff this season. How does a team who wins arguably the best conference in college football this season not make the playoff? Penn State deserves to…
Game Rewind: Tom Brady picked up career win No. 201 as the Patriots beat the Rams 26-10. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. Brady Hits 201: What more can you say about T0m Brady? Seriously. If there was any doubt as to who the greatest quarterback of all time is, this record should put an end to that conversation. Brady is the winningest quarterback of all time. I don’t want…
Tom Brady’s 201st win as quarterback of the Patriots highlighted Week 13 in the NFL. 1. Tom Brady is now officially the winningest quarterback in NFL history with 201 career wins. Brady surpassed Peyton Manning after yesterday’s 26-10 win over the Rams. Brady downplayed the accomplishment as usual but it was a big deal. The Patriots are now 10-2 on the season. 2. Hey, maybe the Detroit Lions are for…
It’s Championship Saturday in College Football. By the end of the day, we will have a pretty good idea of which four teams will end up in the college football playoff. Pac-12 Championship Game No.8 Colorado Buffaloes vs. #4 Washington Huskies: The Huskies got a dose of reality two weeks ago when they lost to USC but they bounced back in a big way last week by crushing Washington State for…
Rob Gronkowski was only supposed to miss one game after tweaking his back against the Jets but the Patriots got some bad news today. The Patriots got some bad news today regarding tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski needs back surgery and is going to miss the next eight weeks recovering from surgery to repair a herniated disc. The Patriots thought Gronkowski may only miss a game but as it turns…
Week 12 is in the books and the playoff picture is starting to become clearer in both the NFC and the AFC. The finish line is in sight for several teams around the league. 1. The Bengals are done. They can’t score points without A.J Green and Gio Bernard in the line up. Not only that, but at 3-7-1, they are essentially four games back of the sixth seed Dolphins…
Storyline: The Patriots will square off against the Jets for the first time this season. New England will be looking to avenge last season’s Week 16 loss to the Jets which ultimately cost them home field throughout the playoffs. Here our five keys to the game. 1. Get off to a Better Start Than Last Week: The Patriots were sluggish out of the gate against the 49ers last week. They…
I had an awful week last week. Here’s to hoping I bounce back this week. I need it because I’m in the hole. 11/27 1:00 ET San Diego -2.5 At Houston 46.5 -$145 +$125: The Chargers are favored in this game which is kind of weird considering Houston has been good at home. San Diego plays well on the road (See Atlanta) but something tells me the Texans will play…
It’s rivalry weekend in college football and several stories rivalries will determine which teams make the final four in college football. Here are our top five match ups for Saturday. No. 3 Michigan (+6.5) at No. 2 Ohio State: I think Ohio State will win this game because they have dominated this game in recent years and the Wolverines will more than likely be playing without quarterback Wilton Speights. Michigan…
By Michael Vallee -Disqualifier Game: If last week’s game against Seattle was a yardstick game, a game where the Patriots got to measure themselves against the league’s best, this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers was the opposite. A boring, empty, predictable formality of a 7-2 team yawning its way past a 1-8 mess, enroute to a 30-17 rain-soaked snooze fest. If we learned a lot about the Patriots…
