It was a night of reunions as the Green Bay Packers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on their former franchise QB, Aaron Rodgers, and the Steelers. It had all the makings of a highly anticipated game: both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, both starting QBs are having good seasons, and we […]
On Friday, we began the latest iteration of McCovey Chronicles’ most time-honored tradition: the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, in which we will work as a community to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. In the introductory post, everyone selected a group of nominees to choose from, and today […]
It’s a lot more fun to write about the Buffalo Bills when they play well and holy moly is it going to be fun this week! The Bills took on one of the best run defenses in football and made that statement look like it should include the word “allegedly.” There’ll be plenty of film […]
The Tennessee Titans are trading Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams, according to Adam Schefter: I need someone to make the value they got back here make sense. This is the second trade they have made where they ended up swapping picks (Jarvis Brownlee was the first). They are giving up assets without actually […]
The Colts have been the surprise story of the first half of the season. Some other teams have had some moments, but no team has put positive weekly results on the field, as well as the Colts have. We still have our detractors who most often want to put our strength of schedule as a […]
The Los Angeles Rams have finally addressed their need at cornerback, trading with the Tennessee Titans for Roger McCreary. The Rams and Titans agreed to a pick swap of day three choices, essentially meaning that this trade boils down to Tennessee wanting to get rid of a player who L.A. feels could help them over […]
Aidan O’Connell is getting healthy and the Las Vegas Raiders will soon have a decision to make. Last week, Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll said he was hopeful O’Connell will be ready to return this week. Thus, the team could activate his 21-day window to remove him from the injured reserve. He has been on […]
The Dallas Cowboys just don’t have it in them to win two in a row. For the third time this season, they have followed up a good win with a disappointing loss, this time losing to the Broncos 44-24. Any time this team provides us with an ounce of goodness, they turn around and remind […]
The San Francisco 49ers continue to see-saw back and forth in the win and loss column. Week 8’s loss to the Houston Texans wasn’t all that shocking, given the quality of the opponent and the road team’s injuries. All is not lost for the 5-3 Niners. If you’re going to drop a game, let it […]
The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 8 win over the New York Giants are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis. OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS DID NOT PLAY INACTIVE: A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens, Azeez Ojulari, Adoree’ Jackson, Sam Howell ACTIVE: A.J. Dillon
When it comes to the NFL Draft discussion, players in the FBS have dominated the conversation. However, there is another brand of Division I college football also taking place and being done at a high level. Over the past decade, North Dakota State has dominated the FCS football landscape and they look to be favorites […]
Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]
Each week, we look at the opening odds for the Tennessee Titans. Each week, they are a double-digit underdog. This week, they are a 10.5-point underdog at home against the Los Angeles Chargers over at FanDuel Sportsbook. That number isn’t big enough. I wouldn’t bet the Titans at anything less than +21.5. The Chargers come […]
Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, every member of our contributor panel picked the Chiefs to win. Half of them expected a blowout — and as a group, they thought Kansas City would win 33-18. While that aggregate prediction also called for a blowout, it nonetheless carried 36 […]

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 3-point favorites and the total is set at 43.5 points. Both teams will be fresh off their bye weeks. “Obviously no one wants to go into […]
Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
“It’s a passing league.” That’s been one of the mantras of NFL analysts for years. Since the explosion of offenses in the 2000s, like the Greatest Show on Turf or the proliferation of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, the passing game has taken over the league. But even at the core of those beliefs remained […]

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 3-point favorites and the total is set at 43.5 points. Both teams will be fresh off their bye weeks. “Obviously no one wants to go into […]
On October 24th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards blindsided winger David Booth with a vicious hit to the head rendering the Florida Panthers forward bloodied and unconscious. Booth left on a stretcher and missed the next 45 games owing to a concussion incurred on the play. Richards received a five minute major and ten minute game misconduct but was not subsequently fined or
Back-to-back clunker games for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams don’t have me wanting to pull the plug on this experience, but they are a cause for concern. CHICAGO BEARS WEEK 8: Game Recap | Instant Grades | The Nightcap To be clear, I’m not sounding alarms just yet. However, I am noticing some patterns that, if they continue throughout the duration of this season, will have me raising questions about the long-term future of the position. My b...
The Los Angeles Chargers are eyeing another win as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The Titans are projected to be one of the worst teams in the league at the end of the season after starting the year 1-7. Their only win came in Week 5 against […]
The Cleveland Browns have signed former Memphis and Ole Miss star TE Caden Prieskorn to the practice squad and released UDFA RB Ahmani Marshall in a corresponding move. Prieskorn, a 6’6”, 250-pound tight end from Ole Miss, has spent time with the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025 after being signed as a […]
I hope everyone got outside and did something fun this weekend. For some reason I’ll never know or understand, we’ve all seen the sun out past 4:30 p.m. ET for the last time this year. The extra hour of sleep and the extra hour of staying out at the bars used to be nice – […]
7-1. Colts win their fourth game in a row, all convincingly, this time by 24 points against division rivals Tennessee Titans. There were some ghosts surrounding this team and games that they should be winning easily on paper, so it was nice leaving them behind and demolishing the Titans always feels good. Now we enter […]
