Super Bowl LX Preview: Predictions, Prop Bets, and Keys to the Game

Warrrrriors… come out to play. It always amazes me what multi-million dollar athletes dig up for a battle cry that rallies a team. Mack Hollins showed up at the AFC Championship in typical fashion. You've all seen and heard the clip by now. But I'll describe

Built to Last: Why the 2025 Patriots Are Better Positioned for a Dynasty Than the 2001 Team

Why the 2025 Patriots may be better built for a dynasty than the 2001 team—youth, culture, coaching stability, drafting, and a modern NFL approach.

Conference Championship Sunday: Next Stop, the Super Bowl

Can you believe the last time an AFC Championship Game was played without either the Kansas City Chiefs or New England Patriots in it was 2011 when the Pittsburgh Steelers played the ... wait a minute... this can't be right... the New York Jets? It looked like the streak

By the Numbers: The Best-Looking Jersey Numbers in Patriots History

I was walking through a store the other day and did a double take when I passed a guy in a random vintage #88 Terry Glenn jersey. RIP, Terry Glenn. I am comfortable enough in my masculinity to say the jersey looked outstanding on the guy. He had the right

Patriots are hoping history repeats itself

This Patriots team is not "lucky." Much like the 2001 team, a win over the Rams in the Super Bowl could be the beginning of another dynastic run.

NFL DIVISIONAL ROUND PICKS & BETTING ANALYSIS

Sometimes a team has another team's number no matter the disparity in records. That seems to be the case with the Carolina Panthers and the LA Rams. The Panthers almost pulled off a monster upset after having already beaten the Rams in Week 13. I lost a couple

NFL MVP: I apply my Jimmy G test to the candidates and come out with a winner

There is an obvious bias towards quarterbacks when discussing the NFL MVP. Saquon Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards last season for the eventual World Champion Philadelphia Eagles, but it wasn't good enough to keep Josh Allen from being voted MVP. And it has been like that since

Patriots Advance with 16–3 Win Over Chargers Behind Dominant Defensive Performance

Drake Maye gets most of the attention—and understandably so. He has a golden arm, poise in the pocket, and the rare ability to play quarterback while still being an athlete. What may be most refreshing, though, is his instinct to deflect credit. After Sunday’s win, he made sure

Wildcard Weekend NFL Picks: With the Chiefs Gone, Is This Josh Allen’s Moment?

And Here. We. Go. I'm glad to get the final regular season week out of the way. It is a bettor's nightmare. Time to get back to some real games where players will play the full sixty minutes and give max effort. And we don'

Week 18 NFL Preview: Could it be swan songs for Rodgers and Kelce?

No one is more sorry to see the NFL regular season come to an end than me. I have been on a heater the last few weeks – finally! It was a season of mediocrity and if there is one thing I can't stand – it is mediocrity. It'

Week 17 NFL Picks

I, literally, got out of my chair and applauded when I heard broadcaster, Jim Nantz, say during a telecast that this is one of the weirdest years in NFL history. It made me feel better about having a down year picking games. I did have a decent week as I

Week 16 NFL Picks & Predictions

As the Steve Miller Band sang, "Time keeps slipping into the future." We have arrived at the part of the season where we don't know if certain teams will be giving their all. We saw some HUGE injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons. Just like

NFL Week 15 Picks and Score Predictions

There were some shady calls last week by NFL refs and one extremely controversial (for bettors) coaching decision to kick a meaningless field goal at the end of regulation. How much more do we need to see? The league isn't even hiding it anymore. I knew there was

Week 15 NFL Power Rankings: You Think You Understand This League? Think Again.

Week 14 felt like the Betting Gods punishing anyone who tried to apply logic to the NFL. You had the Saints beating the Bucs in Tampa Bay. Miami won for the first time in sub-40 degree weather since the Ice Age. The Browns and Titans combined for 60 points. Shedeur

Week 14 NFL Picks: Crunch Time Across the League

Week 14 rolls in with the playoff picture sharpening. Some teams are charging. Some are fading. Bill Belichick used to say that the NFL season only truly began after Thanksgiving. Of course, his season is over now. UNC finished 4-8, by the way. There are only a couple of good

Lessons from 2001: Patriots' Christian Elliss delivers another 'Shot Heard Around the World'

In 2001, the New England Patriots were 0-2 entering Week 3. The team had finished in last place in the AFC East with a 5-11 record the year prior – Bill Belichick's first year as head coach of the Patriots. They had just lost their franchise quarterback, Drew Bledsoe,

NFL Power Rankings: Who’s Surging, Who’s Fading?

Teams are coming down the home stretch. If anything is apparent in the NFL, it is that the path to the Super Bowl is wide open, especially in the AFC. Teams are already starting to get eliminated from the playoffs. The Saints, Giants, Cardinals, Raiders. and Titans are done with

The 25 Most Exciting Players to Watch in the NFL Right Now

A breakdown of the 25 most exciting players in the NFL right now. From Jahmyr Gibbs’ lightning burst to Josh Allen’s Superman antics and Drake Maye’s youthful exuberance, this list captures the players who make Sundays must-watch TV in 2025.

Week 13 NFL picks: Time to separate the contenders from the pretenders

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I am thankful for a successful week, for a change. But seriously, sometimes we need to step away and get a sense of perspective. Sports aren't everything. We have so many more things to be thankful for. But, damn, if my in-laws don't

Week 12 NFL Picks: It is Getting Late Early for Cowboys, Chiefs, Ravens, and Bucs

As Yogi Berra once said, "It getting late early out there." Oh, how I miss that guy. For you youngins out there, if you are not familiar with Yogi Berra and his famous quirky sayings, click here. But we are going into Week 12 which means Week 18

The Top 10 Tight Ends in NFL History

Rob Gronkowski was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Thursday. It got me thinking about where he ranks all-time in the pantheon of NFL tight ends. I wrote an article ranking my top five New England Patriots tight ends a few days ago. Note I didn't

The Greatest Patriots Tight Ends of All Time — Rob Gronkowski Stands Alone

Rob Gronkowski just did the ceremonial thing star players now do: he signed a one-day contract with his longtime team so he could officially retire as a Patriot. Although, come to think of it… shouldn’t New England technically have to cut someone from the active roster to make room

Week 11 NFL Picks: Patriots unveil new unis, some great late matchups

The crazy season continues. Trust me – it's the season, not me. I feel the need to defend myself, or maybe I just need to give myself a little pep talk. Last year I picked winners on the money line at a nearly 70% clip, 55% against the spread,

Week 10 NFL Picks: MVP Battle in Tampa

That's two tough weeks in a row for me – probably the worst back-to-back weeks since I started publishing these picks. I was 3-10 against the spread. Like the song goes – "Mama said there would be days like this." She didn't, however, tell me there

Week 9 NFL Picks: Josh Allen owns Mahomes in the regular season

I had a feeling Week 8 was going to be a rough week. This is what I posted on X to promote my picks last week: Week 8 NFL picks: Looks to be an ugly week with a lot of the more predictable teams/players on a bye.https://t.
