Although it might be hard to believe, the NFL regular season is six games away from coming to an end. The playoff push for over half the league is in full swing, and teams are starting to play like it. With a three-game Thanksgiving slate, followed by a marquee matchup on Black Friday, football and […]
Editor’s note: For a big rivalry game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, we welcomed Justis Mosqueda to help fill us in about Detroit’s NFC North rivals. Below is his State of the Green Bay Packers analysis, noting how the Packers have changed in the 12 weeks since the Lions and Packers first […]
One of the biggest internal debates among fans this time of year is whether you should actually be rooting for wins or losses down the stretch. Simply put: to tank or not to tank. Unfortunately for the Jets, this has basically turned into an annual tradition at this point. If the season ended today, the […]
The New Orleans Saints were back from their bye week with a home tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a quick look back on all the action from Sunday. First Quarter The visitors were instantly forced to punt after a three-and-out, but had the ball back just as quickly after a Saints fumble on their […]
We finally have some numbers on the Phil Maton deal , though not yet the full breakdown (which I do think matters): Phil Maton Cubs deal: $14.5M, 2 years and club option. Plus $250K incentives per year based on games pitched for the ultra reliable reliever. So good chance to reach $15M. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 25, 2025 Maton had 81 k’s in 61.1 innings split between St. Louis and Texas last season — one of the best of his career. @Michael_Cerami was on the signing las...

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will return to practice this week but […]
Not much change in the NFC West this week. The key players, the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks, all won. The Cardinals lost again. There’s not much left on the schedule for the Rams. So, unless they go into a massive skid, they probably can win the West. It’s not certain, […]
The Atlanta Falcons snapped their losing streak against the New Orleans Saints. The defense had more sacks than points allowed, and the team finally has a competent kicker again. Here’s the Week 12, 3 up and 3 down: 3 up Kirk Cousins Cousins stepped in and had his best game in over a year. The […]

The Detroit Lions could get a key member of their defensive line back this week. During his weekly radio appearance, Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism that starting defensive end Marcus Davenport could return from injured reserve this week. “We’re hopeful. We’re hopeful. He looked really good last week,” Campbell told the Costa & Jansen […]
If you ask Shane Steichen or any of the players if this is the time to panic, the answer would be a resounding “no”. After starting the season 7-1, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves at 8-3. In a vacuum, 8-3 is pretty good. Considering where this team was projected to be, 8-3 is fantastic. It […]
Very rarely can you judge or evaluate major decisions within a season in the NFL. That is true for both the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars when it comes to the Travis Hunter trade. You can never account for injuries in football, but Hunter being out for the final 10 games of the Jaguars season, […]
Thursday night games present a bit of a challenge on the writing side of things. A normal Sunday week provides a bit of a routine. We look at the numbers from the previous game and then later in the week offer some kind of commentary on the next Sunday’s game or a commentary on news […]
The New England Patriots suffered multiple injuries during their win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, and as a consequence had to make several adjustments on the fly. The most notable happened along the offensive line, where both left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson were unable to finish the game. The former […]
The Good: Defense Not a whole lot went well for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, but if anything was better than the others it was the defense. They forced five punts, sacked Kirk Cousins three times, and held Atlanta to 3/12 on 3rd down. The play of the day for the defense was a […]
The Braves didn’t do anything on Monday, so a non-Braves question to fill the gap. The Mets and Rangers executed a relatively rare type of trade over the weekend, moving one productive player for another. Most trades swap some semblance of future value for present value, but occasionally, positional fit and liquidity considerations take center […]
Do you even want to Billieve anymore? I keep going back to the 2023 season as my crutch to help keep the belief alive. The similarities between the current Buffalo Bills team and that Bills team are there. The 2025 Bills have lost four of seven after starting 4-0. The 2023 Bills lost five of […]
Brian Schottenheimer wanted to “create one of the greatest cultures of professional sports.” With six games left to go in his first regular season as a head coach, he may be onto something. It’s been nothing short of incredible to watch the Cowboys these past two weeks. Their emotional victory over the Raiders on Monday […]
The Cleveland Browns are looking forward in a positive way at the start of the Thanksgiving week. Knocking off the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 (see our founder’s vlog of his experience out there here) and having some relative excitement about QB Shedeur Sanders is a nice change of pace for fans. Whether or […]
The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) open Week 13 as -10.5 favorites on FanDuel over the Carolina Panthers (6-6) in Week 13 of the NFL season, and for the uninitiated, 10+ points spreads in the NFL are rare, and typically hard to cover. However, given that the Rams just smoked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by double […]
I’m a bit late on the analysis bandwagon for this game and that’s a bit intentional on my part. I wanted to be a bit more deliberate in my stance on this and that of course took some time. In doing so, I believe I found the perfect framing for how I felt about the […]
The Detroit Lions did everything in their control to help their playoff chances in 2025, but the rest of the NFC did not comply. Despite moving to 7-4 on the season, the Lions remain on the outside looking in for the NFC playoff picture, and their odds actually slightly decreased to make the postseason after […]
It was Cupcake Saturday. For many SEC teams that meant playing FCS or non-Power FBS teams. For the Big Ten and Notre Dame, it meant business as usual. A LITTLE SOMETHING TO ESS-EE-SEE HERE Texas 52 Arkansas 37 – Arch Manning passed for four touchdowns, ran for one and caught another. No turnovers or sacks […]
