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 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 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 […]

The NFL playoffs get underway this weekend with the Wildcard matches. It doesn’t get more simple than this. Win and you advance, lose and your season is over until next time.

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 […]

Posted on January 3, 2020, by Travis Pulver Fans of the Dallas Cowboys have been waiting for Jerry Jones to make the announcement since the end of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins—Jason Garrett would no longer be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. o But then nothing happened. No big deal. So, […]

Posted on December 30, 2019, by Bryan Zarpentine With 256 regular-season games in the books, the NFL is down to the final 12 teams that have qualified for the playoffs. While there are some clear and obvious favorites, all 12 teams have a fighting chance and no team should be ruled out of winning the […]

Posted on December 29, 2019, by Travis Pulver The Miami Dolphins have been known to give the New England Patriots trouble, but usually when the Pats come down south to Miami. But with something to play for late in the season, this one should have been easy for the Patriots. That’s why oddsmakers had them […]

Posted on December 22, 2019, by Travis Pulver A couple of weeks ago, following a thrilling win over the New Orleans Saints that saw Jimmy Garoppolo and the offense blow up, the 49ers odds to win the NFC was a conference-best +183. At that point, despite the unusually bad game by the defense, all was […]

Posted on December 22, 2019, by Travis Pulver For the last decade, there has been one thing that football fans could count on—the New England Patriots winning the AFC East. Of course, it has helped that the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Miami Dolphins have not been very good. But such prolonged excellence is […]

Posted on December 22, 2019, by Travis Pulver The Houston Texans went into Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in need of more than just a win. But a win as all that was needed to clinch the AFC South title. However, if they could secure the win while playing well in the process, […]
