NFL HC New Hire Rankings
Brian Daboll, Giants (Former Bills OC) The hottest head coaching prospect signed with the Giants and lands No. 1 on my list. He has a more impressive resume than any other rookie head coach. He has been with Josh Allen since his rookie year and developed Allen into a top 3 QB. He was able…

NFL Best and Worst of Week 18
Best: It took 18 weeks but Trevor Lawrence finally looked like a number 1 pick! He had arguably his best game of the season, throwing 223 yards and 2 TDs and 0 INTs. Not crazy stats by any means but for the season he’s had, it’s his best game. This was the first game that…

NFL Best and Worst of Week 17
Best: Everyone knew the Patriots would beat the Jags, but to put up a 50 burger is a beat down worthy of recognition. It takes a concerted effort to score that many points in 60 minutes. Even against a bad team. You may be saying, “Oh, it’s just the Jags. It doesn’t really count.” Um,…

NFL Week 16 Blake’s Picks
Last weeks record 7-7. Season record 52-35-1. Lions @ Falcons The Lions are on a roll, but they will be without starting QB Jared Goff today, who landed on the Covid/Reserve list this week. This would be a closer game if the he was playing. But, the Falcons still have Matt Ryan, who is in…

NFL Best and Worst of Week 15
Best: Don’t look now but the Detroit Lions are on a roll! They’re 2-1 in the last 3 weeks. You know who else can say that? The Patriots, Rams, and Bucs. That’s a good list to be a part of, opposing teams beware. Jared Goff went off, having his best game of the season at…

NFL Week 15 Blake’s Picks
Last weeks record 8-5. Season record 45-28-1. Titans @ Steelers Both of these teams seemed to have avoided the Covid-19 bug that has been spread around the league this week. So this should be one of the more normal games in the sense that no key starters will be sidelined. Tennessee seems to be regaining…
