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…
The Minnesota Vikings found out yesterday that the cost of doing business in the NFL can be costly. After losing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater last week to a season ending knee injury, the Vikings traded a 2017 first round pick and a 2018 fourth round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Sam Bradford. Bradford signed a two year extension with the Eagles this off-season to be the place holder while Carson…
