The exception, of course, would be Vince McMahon’s XFL, which went so far over the top trying to be different that it wound up rather boring and mundane. The Alliance of American Football is a different concept. The new league – set to kick off on February 9th – is not soft-pedaling the fact … [Read more...] about Alliance of American Football: Team Previews and Futures Markets

Saints Favored by a Field Goal Over Rams in NFC Title Scrap
Home-field advantage is more than simply a morale boost or a convenience in the NFL.

Banged-up Colts Test Hot Streak vs Texans in Wild Card Round

What Will it Take For the Dolphins to Snag an AFC Wild Card Berth?
After Week 6 I wrote this article in which I predicted the Dolphins to regress from 4-2 all the way to “6-10 or 7-9”. Fast forward to Week 16, the penultimate week of the 2018 regular season. Miami is sitting at 7-7. They could lose out and make me look like a genius, but this is a Dolphins team still alive in the AFC playoff race. The odds are slim-to-none, but Miami could … [Read more...] about What Will it Take For the Dolphins to Snag an AFC Wild Card Berth?
