Technically or theoretically speaking, it really doesn’t matter. This week’s game for the Indianapolis Colts is a must win if they want any shot at winning the division or even making the postseason. As the Colts head to Jacksonville, they might as well be entering Dante’s Inferno. It has been a torture pit for them […]
The San Francisco 49ers sit in the sixth seed in the NFC with a 9-4 record, and could move up to the second seed with some help during their bye week. When the schedule was released, a Week 14 bye was met with criticism for being scheduled so late in the season. As it turns […]
Two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams in this 2025 season are set to meet this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Minnesota Vikings will play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14 NFL action. These two teams combined for 26 regular season victories in 2024, and the Commanders advanced to the NFC […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Heading into Week 14, we want to know how you’re feeling after watching the team so […]
As a Vikings fan, declaring any situation “rock bottom” is always a perilous proposition. This is, after all, a franchise that once “missed” a draft pick, becoming a subject of national ridicule, and had its stadium roof collapse, serving as a perfect symbol of a terrible season. Coincidentally, that same year saw a head coach […]
First-year college football coaches letter grades include D for Bill Belichick The USA Today decided to play professor and hand out grades for the first-year head coaches in the Mountain West, along with the rest of college football. Predictably, the grades were largely positive, including New Mexico’s Jason Eck receiving the highest grade. Jesse Kurtz […]
In Today’s Links: another press conference from Coach Macdonald, Nick Emmanwori continues to impress us and his fellow Seattle Seahawks, Julian Love returns to practice, why our ‘Hawks may succeed in the playoffs, some reasons to be concerned with Sam Darnold, third quarter progress on the 2025 season, and much more! There’s a lot here. […]
When the Cowboys take the field Thursday night in Detroit, they won’t be going up against the offensive juggernaut the Lions have become known for, and that’s not just because the Lions will be missing both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta. The Lions lost both coordinators in the offseason, with Ben Johnson taking the […]
On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will duel for the second time this season. After the first meeting resulted in a dominant 23-3 victory for the Bucs, Tyler Shough will get an opportunity to start versus Tampa and flip the script. New Orleans currently ranks 26th in the league offensively, averaging […]
Seems awfully early to have a must-win game, but that’s exactly where the Houston Texans find themselves this week. Only 7 teams from each conference make the post season. The Texans are currently 8th in line. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 9th. If you’ve been paying attention to H-Town pro ball at […]
Earlier this week, it was reported by Katie Woo of the Athletic that St. Louis Cardinals’ 1B/catcher Willson Contreras has become more open to waiving his no-trade clause to facilitate a trade out of St, Louis. It comes in the wake of former teammate Sonny Gray doing the same thing and in turn being traded […]
Big time college football is a little beyond me, and the NFL (to me) is simpler, so I have no real point of reference when I read a mock draft saying that the Los Angeles Rams should add quarterback Dante Moore from Oregon. What are your thoughts? Enlighten me? Which offensive weapons should the Rams […]
The Kansas City Chiefs are clinging to their playoff lives as Week 14’s “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the Houston Texans looms. The challenge begins with a feared Houston defense that currently leads the league with a -0.18 expected points added (EPA), per Next Gen Stats. “You’ve got to match their intensity,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes […]
Deshaun Watson has officially returned to practice after recovering from his Achilles injury in the 2024 season. Watson has a 9-10 record as a starter and has performed below expectations during his time with the Cleveland Browns. His chemistry with his receivers has been lacking, and he has struggled to find consistency in the Browns’ […]
Less than 24 hours after finishing a very disappointing effort against the Ottawa Senators on home ice, the Montreal Canadiens were right back in action at the Bell Centre. With the Winnipeg Jets in town, they needed to find a way to bounce back from their poor showing quickly. The Atlantic division is extremely tight in the early goings of this season, and they would want to avoid starting another long losing streak in order to keep pace with the teams around them. Martin St-Louis electe...
The 2025 season appears that double-digit losses will become a reality. Bummer. And now that five games are remaining on the schedule, after last weekend’s loss to San Francisco, the league has almost eliminated the Cleveland Browns from any playoff contention. RELATED: BROWNS MANEUVER TO LAND A QB In the Christmas cartoon “Rudolph the Red-Nosed […]
Most sportsbooks have the Cleveland Browns favored to win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Titans are coming into this game with one win over the Arizona Cardinals, while the Browns enter this matchup with 3 wins. Tennessee’s rookie QB Cam Ward has struggled quite a bit this weekend, and the offensive struggles will certainly be […]
A superstar running back is in for a big contract extension that the Miami Dolphins may not be able to afford.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to the Motor City this week to face the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys have a 6-5-1 record and are in second place among the NFC teams trying to crash the Wild Card playoff party. The Lions are the first team out of the playoff picture right now at 7-5. That shows […]
Hello CSR! Its the bye week, meaning the Panthers do not have a matchup to break down this week. However, that means its a perfect time to do some self reflecting. I’ve brought you the defensive previews each week, and things have changed significantly since the start of the season, sometimes even on a week […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars welcome the Indianapolis Colts to Everbank Stadium on Sunday. With both teams looking to separate themselves at the top of the AFC South, here are three battles to keep an eye on: Jourdan Lewis vs Tyler Warren After a blistering start to the season was cruelly interrupted by injury, Jourdan Lewis returned […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reported that infielder Casey Schmitt had undergone surgery on his left wrist on Tuesday. Schmitt is right-handed, which means that the surgery was on his glove hand, which should help recovery go more smoothly. Per Pavlovic’s post on social media, the […]
So you want to trade Willson Contreras? I hadn’t intended on making this post, but since Contreras is apparently more open to getting traded, if it’s the right fit, might as well see what any potential return will bring back. I already did this with Sonny Gray (I was wildly wrong, so take this with […]
Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius “Mooney” Ward semi-recently returned to action after working back from a month-long concussion, his second concussion of the regular season. Although he showcased early in the season that he still has the capabilities to be a Pro Bowl-type player, this setback has proved to be more than just […]
That was a statement game. A short week, on the road, down your entire linebacking corps. against the defending Superbowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and the Chicago Bears breezed to a fairly convincing 25-14 victory in a game where they did not trail, and held the lead for over 45 game minutes after a 3-yard D’Andre […]
