Being a fan of the Cleveland Browns is a curious life choice, and one I frequently find myself attempting – and failing – to tangibly justify. Having started my support of the team for no better reason than them being the first team I had randomly picked on my first...
Let’s talk about Jimmy Garoppolo and let’s talk specifically about Jimmy Garoppolo and the Cleveland Browns. I’ll start with the premise that sending their 12th overall pick to New England for Garoppolo would be madness, insanity of the highest order. Any team sending a first rounder to Foxboro for Garoppolo...
With their dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl 50, the Denver Broncos laid down a reliable template for success in the modern NFL. Future Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning had arguably the worst season ever for a Super Bowl winning quarterback in 2015, throwing 17 interceptions and only nine touchdowns. In fact,...
The Locks Cowboys, Seahawks With a win this weekend and a loss for the Seahawks and Lions the Cowboys would clinch the No.1 seed in the NFC with three games to spare. Just a win will clinch the division for them so it is safe to say they will be...

The NFL season is a damn short one and, while we may bemoan the enormous offseason, 16 regular season games means every single one usually matters. Teams cannot afford to have bad days at the office, yet even some of the most exciting franchises in the league continue with glaring...
The Oakland Raiders are enjoying their greatest season in recent memory. Sitting atop the ultra-competitive AFC West with a 9-2 record, the Silver and Black have arguably the best young roster in the league and are proving to be one of the NFL’s most entertaining teams.
The Pro Bowl has become a bit like one of those colds you get every winter, you know it’s going to happen, there’s nothing you can do about it. The best you can do is hope to get through it with as much dignity as possible and hope you don’t...
So it is Thanksgiving week. What am I thankful for? Being able to pick teams that almost entirely shutdown opposing offences for three quarters (OR 56 MINUTES! I’M LOOKING AT YOU JEFF!) before blowing a lead. Anyway, on to this week’s picks.
