Posted on February 3, 2020, by Bryan Zarpentine With Super Bowl 54 in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take a way-too-early look at Super Bowl 55, which will be held in Tampa next February. Obviously, there is a full offseason of trades and free-agent signings, not to mention the draft, before the start of […]

Posted on January 27, 2020, by Travis Pulver After their near comeback against the New England Patriots last year in the AFC Championship Game, the Kansas City Chiefs were expected to make it to Super Bowl LIV this season. The rise of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens forced them to take a backseat for […]

Posted on January 26, 2020, by Travis Pulver When it comes to betting, there are few events, if any, that can measure up to the sheer volume and insanity that surrounds the Super Bowl. It isn’t just about the outcome of the game with the Super Bowl. No, when it comes to betting, it is […]

Posted on January 25, 2020, by Travis Pulver More often than not, it is pretty easy to predict who will win Super Bowl MVP honors—the quarterback. Quarterbacks can impact the game more so than any other player on the field, so it makes sense. It’s certainly how recent history has played out with seven of […]

Posted on January 22, 2020, by Travis Pulver It sounds like the 49ers didn’t wait too long after finishing off the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Conference Championship game to go after a competitive advantage in the Super Bowl. According to news reports, the team asked for permission to wear their all-white throwback uniforms from […]

Posted on January 20, 2020, by Travis Pulver The ultimate matchup for the Super Bowl would have been the run game of the Ravens going up against the 49ers defense. But the Tennessee Titans put an end to that last weekend. So fans will have to be satisfied with the high-powered offense of the Chiefs […]

Posted on January 13, 2020, by Travis Pulver Last year, all eyes were on the amazing young Trevor Lawrence and the Clemson Tigers heading into the national championship game. However, this year, Trevor Lawrence and Clemson are back in the title game. But they aren’t getting near as much attention and respect as you’d expect. […]

Posted on January 12, 2020, by Travis Pulver Expectations are never very high for the No. 6 seed in the playoffs, and they certainly weren’t too high for the Tennessee Titans when the postseason began. Following their regular-season finale win over the Houston Texans, the Titans odds hovered around +4100, second-highest among playoff-bound teams next to the […]

Posted on January 12, 2020, by Travis Pulver Heading into the divisional round weekend, the odds of winning the Super Bowl were already pretty good for the San Francisco 49ers. But after beating the Minnesota Vikings 27-10 in their game Saturday, their odds were bound to see a boost. However, what really made a difference […]

Posted on January 12, 2020, by Travis Pulver If you had asked football fans after Week 13 about the Seattle Seahawks, they would have had nothing but good things to say. After all, the team was 10-2 and fresh off a stomping of the Minnesota Vikings (37-10). Life was good. But then fast forward to […]

Posted on January 11, 2020, by Travis Pulver The Houston Texans were not supposed to beat the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this season when they did. One quarter into the game, down 17-3, it didn’t look like they were going to. But then the Texans got their act together, kept the Chiefs from getting their […]

Posted on January 6, 2020, by Travis Pulver It was the kind of stage that Kirk Cousins has not fared well on over the years—a big one. Meaningful games against notable opponents had not been kind to the Minnesota Vikings quarterback. So, when Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Saints went into overtime, Vikings fans […]

Posted on January 5, 2020, by Travis Pulver The regular season wasn’t the greatest for the New England Patriots this year. But the general assumption was that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick would figure something out for the playoffs. That’s what they always do, so why wouldn’t this season be any different? With as easy […]

Posted on January 5, 2020, by Travis Pulver It didn’t look good for the Houston Texans from the start. With how easily the Buffalo Bills moved down the field on the opening drive of the game, it looked like fans in Houston were in for a long day. The Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, to break […]

Posted on January 3, 2020, by Travis Pulver One of the many great things about the playoffs and wild card weekend is that it doesn’t matter how you get there. It only matters that you do. When the playoffs start, it is like hitting restart; the last four months do not matter. All that matters […]
