The Patriots host the Chiefs tonight in an early season showdown on Sunday Night Football. If the Patriots want to have any shot at a top two seed in the AFC, they must win this game. Here are five keys for the Patriots in this game. 1. Get Mahomes Off His Spot: The Patriots must get consistent pressure on Patrick Mahomes and throw him off his spot. They must continue…
Here are five guys to start and five guys to sit this week. This also includes defenses in case you are wondering. Start Em! 1. Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals vs. Dolphins: Nixon is back and healthy. With Gio Bernard out with a knee injury, Mixon should get the bulk of the touches and exploit a banged up Dolphins front seven. 2. Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons at Steelers: Freeman is back…
The Eagles travel to Raleigh today to battle Ryan Finley and the undefeated Wolfpack. B.C will have to win this game without A.J Dillon who did not make the trip because of an ankle injury. Here are three keys for the Eagles in this game. 1. Anthony Brown Must Pick Up the Slack: With Dillon out, more of the offense will run through Brown and he must play well. The…
Chad Morris will have his Hogs ready against Alabama today. My picks for today. There are a lot of jump ball games this week so pick wisely. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Research is key this week. Northwestern at Michigan State (-10, 43.5): Sparty hasn’t lived up to the hype but neither has Northwestern. -10 is a big number but I think Michigan State covers. Northwestern struggles to score points. Maryland at Michigan (-17.5, 47.5):…
The Patriots welcome a banged up Indianapolis Colts team to Gillette Stadium on Thursday Night Football. Indianapolis will be without wide receiver T.Y Hilton, right end Jack Doyle and guard Denzelle Good among others. The Patriots have won eight straight versus the Colts and will look to make it nine in a row tonight. Here at our five keys to the game. 1. Get Edelman Involved: Julian Edelman is back…
Here ten thoughts I have on Week 5 of the college football season. 1. I often wonder if Chip Kelly regrets taking the UCLA job. I don’t care what anyone says. Being 0-4 has to hurt Kelly’s pride. 2. No I don’t think coaches should put their hands on their players. Jimbo Fisher was in the wrong. Should he be reprimanded? Yes. Fired? No! That’s foolish. 3. I can’t believe…
Game Rewind: The Patriots got off to a fast start offensively and never looked back crushing the Dolphins 38-7. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. Sony Stock Goes Up: We got a glimpse of why Bill Belichick used a first round pick on running back Sony Michel. The rookie running back carried the ball 25 times for 112 and a touchdown. Michel has the look of a starting…
The Patriots face an early season must win with division rival Miami in town. New England can ill-afford to lose this game and fall three games behind the Dolphins in the AFC East. Here are five keys for today’s game. 1. Get Off To A Better Start Offensively: The Patriots need to get off to a better start offensively than they have the past two weeks. It is imperative that…
Ok folks. Here are the games I am betting on in week 5. There are some big time match ups on the docket. West Virginia at Texas Tech (+3.5, 73): I must admit, I was wrong about the Red Raiders. They actually play complementary football. Their defense has been terrific and that will be the difference against Will Grier and the Mountaineers at home. Syracuse at Clemson (-25.5, 65.5): I…
Rivers is a must start at quarterback this week. It’s week four in the world of fantasy football. Here is who you should start and sit for this week. Start Em! 1. Phillip Rivers, QB, Chargers: Rivers has a juicy match up against a banged 49ers defense that has struggled thus far this season. They just simply can’t match with the Chargers offense which makes Rivers a must play. 2….
