A full slate of early Sunday games. Enjoy! This is an open thread for game chat.
The Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers are set to face off in an important game for both squads. The Bills enter play on a two-game losing streak, as they dropped consecutive contests to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons before their bye week. The Panthers, meanwhile, are riding a three-game winning streak after […]
NFL WEEK 8: CHICAGO BEARS VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS — I couldn’t think of a better way to get geared up for a Chicago Bears game day than by watching Mic’d Up Ben Johnson: How big is this game? Well, the potential shift in playoff odds tells the story: PLAYOFF ODDS GOING INTO WEEK 8: 28 percent (via The Athletic) CHICAGO WINS : Postseason probabilities jump to 41 percent CHICAGO LOSES: Postseason probabilities fall to 21 percent So, yeah, there is a lot on the ...
It’s nearly time. Kirk Cousins is under center, the Atlanta Falcons are seeking their fourth win at home, and the shaky Miami Dolphins are coming to town. The Falcons need to rebound from that ugly 49ers loss with some urgency, because as hapless as the Dolphins are, the Falcons have yet to beat the rap […]
The Washington Commanders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, so we’ve got a few games to watch early Sunday afternoon. Fox has four games and most of the country will be watching the Philadelphia Eagles trying to beat the unstoppable Dartaboo combo, and get revenge for getting embarrassed by the New York […]
Happy Seattle Seahawks bye week, everyone! It’s the second of three “NFL RedZone all day” weekends for myself, as the Seahawks have a week off in between their two prime-time games. There are six teams with byes, so we only have 10 games between the 10 am PT and 1 pm PT slates, but at […]
While I’m sure we all miss Detroit Lions football, there is something beautifully peaceful about the bye week. Whether you’re out there enjoying the last few days of good weather or sitting at home for 10 straight hours of football, the weekend feels a little lighter without the added stress and anxiety that comes with […]
The Winnipeg Jets will play their third contest in four days when the action gets underway at 5 pm Central, giving the hockey fans of Manitoba their first chance to see the Utah Mammoth this season. Both hockey teams have started off the 2025-26 NHL campaign in a positive way, as our Jets have racked up a 6-2-0 record while the Mammoth have surprised a lot of people with a 7-2-0 start. When you compare the 2 NHL clubs goals for & against this year ( actual numbers below in Match Up Stats ...
Theoretically, Sunday’s game against the Dolphins should have been a win for the Falcons. The Dolphins are in shambles. They’ve lost to every team they’ve played except the still-winless-in-Week-8 Jets. But as we know all too well as Falcons fans, it’s any given Sunday in this league. And the Falcons’ inactive players for Sunday’s tilt […]
The New England Patriots’ kickoff return game is going to look different yet again. After starting out with Antonio Gibson and later inserting Efton Chism, neither will be active on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns: Gibson is out for the year with a torn ACL, while Chism has been relegated to healthy scratch status again. […]
It’s week 8 of the NFL season and the New York Jets are on the road in Cincinnati, Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EDT. The Jets have opened the 2025 season with seven straight losses. The defense was horrendous in the early part of the season, but […]
The Baltimore Ravens officially deactivated quarterback Lamar Jackson for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Cornerback Jaire Alexander will join his close friend and college teammate on the sidelines after being deactivated for the fourth time out of seven games this season. Alexander arrived with much fanfare this offseason, but seems to be dealing with […]
Another week of wild finishes leaves us no closer to figuring out the NFL. And eight weeks in, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Any Given Sunday isn’t just a movie starring Al Pacino and Jamie Foxx; it’s the perfect description of what we’re seeing every week. The league is a topsy-turvy showcase of […]
The Dallas Cowboys definitely called the Raiders and Bengals about Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson, respectively, according to FOX’s Jay Glazer on Sunday morning. “Dallas is trying. They’ve actually called around. They called the Raiders for Maxx Crosby, was told no. They called the Bengals for Trey Hendrickson, was told no. They are calling around […]
Happy week eight in the NFL season one and all. We have only one game with a division opponent today, as the both the Seahawks and Rams join the Arizona Cardinals on a bye week. Meanwhile, the rest of the NFC Wild Card is… well the Detroit Lions, who are on a bye week as […]
The Cowboys have not beaten the Broncos this century, losing their past seven matchups with this franchise. In fact, the last time Dallas won against this team was also the last time they won a Super Bowl. That trend, as well as the memory of what happened last time they played in Denver, has everyone […]
The Miami Dolphins are heading north this week to face the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the Falcons’ 3-3 record, few (meaning almost none) fans or talking heads give the Dolphins a chance to win this afternoon. As of the writing of this post, Miami is a full touchdown underdog according to the oddsmakers, and that might […]
The Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots face off in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season with a lot on the line for the visitors. Saturday’s news about QB Shedeur Sanders’ back and the elevation of QB Bailey Zappe could add to the drama, but the Browns need a victory to stay alive in […]
One week after rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers made his NFL debut, the Miami Dolphins have reversed course. The inactive list came out on Sunday before the Dolphins were set to take on the Atlanta Falcons and on Ewers' name was on the list.
We’re back, once again with the results all of Buffalo Rumblings craves. That’s right, our weekly Buffalo Bills confidence rating from a healthy cross-section of our Rumblings audience. It’s been a bit since the Bills played winning football, what with that bye and those two losses. After nearly a month, the team’s more than ready […]
The New England Patriots ruled out seven players for their Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns, including edge defender Keion White. Entering the weekend with no injury designation, White is one of six healthy scratches. For the third-year defender, this is the latest low in what has largely been a disappointing season. Originally entering […]
The Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons are headed toward a 1 p.m. Eastern showdown. News on Saturday indicated the Falcons were planning to start backup quarterback Kirk Cousins due to an injury to starter Michael Penix, Jr. Then on Sunday morning, news broke that Miami starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was being added to the injury […]

The wide receivers for Mac Jones consist of Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, […]
The Baltimore Ravens are 1-5 heading into their Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears. They don’t have Lamar Jackson, but they desperately need a win on Sunday. A loss would drop their playoff odds from 34% to 26%, according to the Athletic; a victory would boost them to 42%, which still feels optimistic based […]
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their 2025 NFL Week 8 game against the New York Giants. The following Eagles players WILL NOT PLAY: A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens, Azeez Ojulari, Adoree’ Jackson, and Sam Howell. Brown, Jurgens, Ojulari, and Jackson were ruled out on Friday’s final injury report. With Brown out, the […]
