1.The Cincinnati Bengals were depleted by free agency this off-season but somehow Marvin Lewis’ team found a way to win a tight game against the Jets. I still don’t think Lewis and his staff get enough credit for the job they do. Don’t count the Bengals out. 2. Carson Wentz had an impressive rookie debut. Wentz finished 22 of 37 for 278 yards and two touchdown passes. Sure it was…
Storyline: The Patriots roll into tonight’s season opener against the Cardinals severely short handed. Obviously they were already going to be without Tom Brady but they are also going to be without Rob Gronkowski and Nate Solder as well. This was already a tough game for the Patriots but it just got tougher. New England can win this game but they will need to play flawless football. Here are my five…
It’s already week three in the college football world (Yes, Cal vs. Hawaii was week one) Obviously there won’t be as many good match ups as last week but there are still some quality games to look forward to. Nevada Wolf Pack at #18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish: The Irish lost a heartbreaker to Texas last week but they should bounce back this week against a Nevada team that is talented…
The 2016 NFL season kicks off this weekend. Here’s a quick thought on each game on this week’s schedule. 1:00 pm Kickoffs Green Bay Packers At Jacksonville Jaguars: This will be a tougher game for the Packers than people think. It’ll be a nip and tuck affair well into the fourth quarter but I don’t see the Packers losing to the new and improved Jags. Green Bay will survive a scare…
The 2016 season kicks off this weekend. Here are some thoughts on each division in the AFC and who I think will come of the conference. AFC East 1. New England Patriots: You can go ahead and doubt the Patriots. I dare you! New England will be fine as long as OC Josh McDaniels calls plays that cater to Jimmy Garoppolo’s strengths. He’s not Tom Brady so asking him to…
The 2016 season kicks off tonight with the Panthers traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos in a Super Bowl 50 rematch. Here are some thoughts on each division in the NFC and who I think will come of the conference. NFC East 1. New York Giants: The Giants have a new coach in Ben McAdoo and they spent a lot of money on defense. There will be some growing…
The Patriots acquired cornerback Eric Rowe from the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday for a fourth round pick in next year’s draft. So what are the Patriots getting in Rowe? They are getting a long corner (6-1 205) who can play cornerback or free safety. Rowe is built like Devin McCourty. He’s athletic and smooth in coverage but he has struggled with consistency thus far. He gives up a lot of big…
Josh Sitton might not be sticking it to the Packers but the Bears are. 1. What a weekend for college football. Great games, shootouts, upsets. You name it, we had it. I know I’m bias, but is there a better team sport than college football? I don’t think so. 2. Josh Sitton is right. He didn’t sign with the Bears to stick it to the Packers. The Bears signed Sitton…
Blink and you might have missed some of the big names that were released yesterday as NFL trimmed their rosters to 53 players. Here are the five biggest names cut. 1. Josh Sitton OG Green Bay Packers: Admittedly, even I was surprised that the Packers released the 30 year old Sitton. The three time Pro Bowler was a staple of the Packers offensive line the last few years. Despite that,…
Nick Chubb came back in a big way yesterday against North Carolina. Dime package is ten thoughts I have from the week that was in college football. 1. It doesn’t matter who quarterbacks Alabama, the machine keeps running. FYI. Jalen Hurts is Bama’s quarterback moving forward. I don’t care what Nick Saban says. 2. LSU lost to Wisconsin yesterday because they don’t have a quarterback and they can’t throw the…
