It’s make or break time in college football. Teams that are on the outside, looking in regarding the college football playoff face must win games if they want to crack the top four. Here are our top 25 picks for this week. Alabama (NL) vs.Mercer: Alabama’s strength of schedule is a joke this season. Playing Mercer the week before the Iron Bowl will do nothing for the Tide. They will…
Some thoughts on the week that was in College Football. 1. The Committee almost got it right last night by adding Miami and Oklahoma. I think Wisconsin belongs in the top four over Clemson but unless they run the table, the Badgers have no shot. 2. I must admit. I didn’t see Georgia getting thrashed the way they did by Auburn. The Tigers are for real but unless they win the Iron Bowl and the…
Week 10 featured some quality performances (Jared Goff) and some forgettable performances (Adrian Peterson). Here are this week’s studs and duds. Studs 1.Jared Goff, QB, Rams: For the second straight week, Goff threw for over 300 yards and 3 touchdown passes in a game. He torched a depleted Texans defense in the Rams 33-7 win. Goff is a QB1 moving forward. 2. Mark Ingram, RB, Saints: Ingram has been a monster since…
Game Rewind: The Patriots dominated the Broncos in all three phases of the game en route to a 41-16 win. The Patriots scored on their opening drive and never looked back in a rare dominate performance in Denver. Here are five thoughts from the game. 1. Brady Was Brilliant: Tom Brady was once again brilliant going 25 of 34 for 266 yards and 3 touchdown passes. The ageless wonder was on point…
Tom Brady and the Patriots will travel to their personal house of horrors tonight as they battle the Broncos in Denver. Brady has a career record of 7-9 against the Broncos and he is 3-7 in his career in Denver. Despite those numbers, the Patriots need to win this game if they want to stay atop the AFC East and in the home field advantage race against Pittsburgh and Kansas…
By Jared Leonard This week we’re looking to attack the main slate with some balance. I like a lot of midrange options this week and can cash going in a few different directions. *Late Adds Quarterbacks Dak Prescott- Great matchup against Atlanta and we’ll get our first look at Dak without Elliot. Matt Stafford- Stafford has been throwing the ball a ton lately and that won’t change. Detroit can’t run…
Ten Thoughts on the week that was in college football. 1.The Big Ten will not get Wisconsin in the college football playoff unless the Badgers go undefeated and look dominant doing it. 2. Ohio State’s performance against Iowa was the worst performance by an Ohio State team that I have ever seen! I don’t think the Buckeyes deserve a New Year’s Day bowl bid never mind making the college football…
by: Jared Leonard Again, we’re focusing on the main slate this weekend. With a lot of teams on byes again this week, we are looking for the best matchups in a small player pool. I may make some late adds tomorrow morning, so make sure to check back. Quarterback: Russell Wilson: He’s the hottest QB in the NFL and at home again. Look for another 300+ yards passing and at…
I’m all about Kirby Smart and the Dawgs these days. Last week was meh for me. I need a bounce back week. No. 7 Penn State at No. 24 Michigan State (+8.5): Give me Michigan State all day as an eight and a half point dog. I think Michigan State will beat Penn State and send them reeling to their second loss. No. 9 Wisconsin at Indiana (+12.5): I am…
By Michael Vallee The New England Patriots used a productive yet plodding offense and a fast emerging defense to defeat the San Diego Los Angeles Chargers 21-13 at Gillette on Sunday. It was by no means the Patriots best game but it was all they needed against the perpetually inconsistent, forever .500 Chargers, who managed just enough self-inflicted wounds to prevent any chance of an upset. The Patriots are now…
