Captivating, invigorating, exasperating, culmination.
The Giants took on the Patriots once more in a winner-take-all grudge match, on sports’ biggest stage, and once more beat them in gut-wrenching fashion, using a late, clutch final TD drive to put a stake in the once infallible New England machine. And in just 120 minutes of on the [...]

Let’s get a few things out of the way before we get into this so it’s clear that objectivity will reign supreme.

Year after year as they piled up double digit wins, his offensive brilliance and cohesion made him the most important player in the Colts organization.  Then, when neck surgeries went awry, we found out quickly that he was the most valuable player in [...]

Cincinnati +3 @ Houston
The worst part about this game is that it will result in one of these teams advancing in the playoffs.  Andy Dalton can’t pass against good defenses and T.J. Yates can’t pass.  I’ll be taking the under in this one.  As far as the [...]

Week 17: 9-6 (60%) / Season: 158-84 (65%)
The first weekend of the playoffs is here. For those fans of teams who didn’t make the playoffs; there is always next season (trust me, I feel your pain). With the 49ers, Packers, Patriots, and Ravens all sitting at home, the wild cards do battle. This is probably [...]
