Army and Navy will be meeting for the 116th time tomorrow in Baltimore. Navy leads the all time series 60-49-7. The Midshipmen have 14 in a row against the Black Knights. Here are three offensive and three defensive keys to the game. Three Offensive Keys for Both teams 1. Army Must Score First: In just two short years, Army head coach Jeff Monken has turned the Army offense around. Army’s offense…

I can’t for the life of me understand how a 2,000 yard rusher is not a Heisman Finalist.  The Heisman committee released its list of finalists ahead of Saturday night’s Heisman Trophy presentation.  The finalists are Lamar Jackson, quarterback (Louisville), DeShaun Watson, quarterback (Clemson), Jabrill Peppers, Athlete (Michigan), Baker Mayfield, quarterback (Oklahoma) and Dede Westbrook, wide receiver (Oklahoma).  I don’t necessarily have a problem with that list but there are…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Image courtesy of Raiders.com 1.The Raiders coming from behind to beat the Texans last night is proof that the Silver and Black is legit. There is a lot of talent on the roster and Jack Del Rio is a better coach than he gets credit for. 2. Speaking of the Texans, Bill O’Brien has to be sick to his stomach. His team just can’t win on the road. They are…
