However, and I don’t really care if this sounds like loser talk, the feeling I had leaving the stadium yesterday and the one I have today is one of optimism. The Bears lost. But for the second straight game, they went on the road against a legitimate Super Bowl contender...

The Seattle Seahawks might have raised eyebrows and collective fan blood pressure when they went into halftime tied 6-6 with the lowly Atlanta Falcons.

I really don’t know how to feel about this game. I don’t think the Los Angeles Chargers are amazing. Especially with Justin Herbert banged up. But the Bolts aren’t afraid to the commit to the run. The Eagles had a lot of trouble stopping that the last time they played. And now they don’t have […]

Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. The playoff picture is getting much clearer after each weekend’s games come to their conclusion each weekend.
