Posted on May 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver The New England Patriots have dominated the AFC for almost two decades. In that timeframe, every team in the conference has looked to improve enough in the offseason to be good enough to take down the Patriots the following season. Sometimes it has actually worked, but then […]

Posted on May 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver Free agency has died down, and the draft is over so more than likely teams are as good as they are going to get. But with the Hall of Fame Game (assuming it gets played this year) still weeks away, fans will have to make due with […]

Posted on April 28, 2017, by Travis Pulver After seemingly endless weeks of talk and speculation, it is finally over. The first round of the 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone. But the talk and speculation have only just begun. Now, instead of guessing who will go where, the media and so-called experts will […]

Posted on April 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver Jerry Jones may not find it as easy to get his face in front of the cameras for a few months. He will no longer be able to dangle potential Tony Romo news in front of reporters. Why not? It appears that Romo has finally come to […]

It’s that time of the year again where the NFL Draft is right around the corner, and every NFL team and coaches are busy gathering all their information and assessing their data to pick what they hope to be the next be difference maker for their respective team. The Cleveland Browns are currently on the […]

Posted on March 31, 2017, by Travis Pulver Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a heck of a businessman. To take a team that has been mediocre at best over the last couple decades and turn them into the most valuable sports franchise in the world takes talent. He certainly didn’t do it because he […]

The number one sports handicapping service in the country is also the top sports picking service in the NFL for the last 3 years. Jon Price and his team proved their superiority once again this NFL Season as they finished in the top spot for sports handicapping services in Westgate’s SUPERCONTEST. With over 1800 entries […]

Posted on March 24, 2017, by Travis Pulver They are as easy to hate as they are to love. They have annoyed and amazed us to no end. They have thrown incredible touchdown passes, made electrifying runs, and have done some infuriating things—and they are both hoping that an NFL team will give them a […]

Posted on March 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver Long before the 2016 season ended, it was a foregone conclusion that the Dallas Cowboys were going to have to go defense with their first pick in the 2017 draft. Whether they go with a pass rusher or a defensive back doesn’t matter. They need both so […]

Posted on March 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver It sounds bad to have to say it. It’s even worse to have to mean it. But it is beginning to appear as if the Dallas Cowboys may want to seriously consider hiring a babysitter to keep their superstar running back out of trouble. That is if […]

Posted on March 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver Every team tries to do the same thing when free agency starts. By the time it does, they have analyzed their rosters, figured out where they need help, have a good idea who they want to resign, let go, and pursue. If things go well, they will take […]

Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver Nine teams started the 2017 off-season with over $50 million in cap space to spend. Of the nine, only one—the New England Patriots—saw action in the postseason last year. So, theoretically, if they use their cap space well, the playoff landscape could look drastically different next year. […]

Posted on February 25, 2017, by Travis Pulver Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops suddenly finds himself in a position he really didn’t want to be in, and thanks to a player he didn’t expect would put him there. He may have to prove he isn’t all talk. He may have to show that he […]

Posted on February 24, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Dallas Cowboy drafted Ezekiel Elliot with the No. 4 pick in the 2016 draft, there was little doubt that it was the right move. He certainly validated the team’s faith in him by leading the league in rushing as a rookie and helping the team […]

Posted on February 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver Andrew Luck is widely perceived to be the best young quarterback in the league. The NFL-loving-world started saying as much after his sophomore season at Stanford. His early success quickly cemented the notion in many heads that the initial assumptions about him were right. As was expected, […]

Posted on February 14, 2017, by Travis Pulver Romo-lovers don’t want to hear it. Heck, Tony Romo doesn’t want to hear it, but in the next couple months he’ll figure it out. The future only holds one real option for his playing career—retirement. He can say all day long that retirement is not in the […]

Posted on February 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver The New England Patriots have been getting it done like no other team for many years now. They’ve been to three of the last six Super Bowls, won two, and had a shot to go to the other three. As much as The New England Patriots are […]

Posted on February 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Dallas Cowboys need to upgrade their defensive front. Everyone knows that. With the No. 28 pick, they could get a pretty good one in the coming draft. According to the 2017 draft rankings posted at CBSsports.com, a pretty good defensive end should fall right into their […]

Posted on February 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver The end of the Super Bowl could not come soon enough for the San Francisco 49ers. It meant that they could finally do what they have wanted to do for weeks—hire their next head coach, Kyle Shanahan. But that now means Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn […]

Posted on February 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver Whether you love him or hate him, there is no denying the kind of game that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had Sunday night in Super Bowl LI. His team wasn’t just out of the game at one point. They were getting their behinds handed to […]

Posted on February 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver There is a very good reason why coaches always talk about playing a complete game. There is a reason why they talk about not letting up late in a game no matter how big a lead is. There is a reason why they talk about finishing opponents […]

Posted on February 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver It has been considered a given for weeks. In the hours or days following the end of Super Bowl LI Sunday night, the San Francisco 49ers are going to hire Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to be their next head coach. But they may want to […]

Posted on February 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver For some, the multi-million paycheck and the adoration of millions of fans around the world would be enough for them. For those that need a night created specifically just to pat them on the back and tell them “good job” there is the NFL Honors. Players have […]

Posted on February 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver In a game where it takes 11 players working together to succeed, the NFL singles out one player every year as the most valuable player in the league. A running back or quarterback is usually the one that wins the award even though their success is almost […]

Posted on February 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Texans have a championship caliber defense in place. They have for a couple of years, and should for a couple more. They just need an offense that qualifies as “middle of the road” to be a serious Super Bowl contender. Brock Osweiler was supposed to be the […]

Posted on February 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver A sad day will soon be upon us. It is a day football fans look forward to with equal parts anticipation and trepidation. That day is Super Bowl Sunday, the culmination of another season of action in the NFL that will end with the best team in […]

Posted on January 31, 2017, by Travis Pulver Adversity is not something the New England Patriots are accustomed to dealing with. They are the one team that tows the party line, says nothing to the media that anyone could find inflammatory, and keeps any and all issues (if there have ever been any) in house. Yes, […]

Posted on January 30, 2017, by Travis Pulver It took some time, but it appears that the San Francisco 49ers have finally found a new general manager in former safety-turned-television commentator John Lynch. He has no experience in an NFL front office, and his only experience evaluating talent lies in whatever he needed to do […]

Posted on January 29, 2017, by Travis Pulver It has been a long time coming for Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons. Back in 2012, it looked like they were going to do it after winning 13 games during the regular season. But the 49ers defense (No. 2) slowed Matt Ryan down and Colin Kaepernick […]

Posted on January 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver Adam Jones had done it. He had succeeded in doing something that many had tried to do, but precious few have ever succeeded at doing. He managed to rebuild his career and become a productive member of the Cincinnati Bengals after countless idiotic and often criminal mistakes […]

Posted on January 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver For the Pittsburgh Steelers to record a win over the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, they could not afford to make many (if any) mistakes. They couldn’t afford to have any part of their game falter. They had to be at their best. They […]

Posted on January 23, 2017, by Travis Pulver It was supposed to be a shootout. The NFC Championship was supposed to feature two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL doing what they do best—torching defenses for massive yards as they attempt to lead their team to victory. Not just any win, but one that […]

Posted on January 21, 2017, by Travis Pulver The one thing fans of losing teams or teams not making the playoffs want to see as their team’s season winds down is a reason to believe that next year is going to be better—or at least may be. Even though the season ended with a win […]

Posted on January 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Pittsburgh Steelers were trounced 34-3 by the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week Three, the AFC Championship game is the last place they were expected to be, come mid/late January. But when your young defense gels and your superstars play like they are supposed to play, […]

Posted on January 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Houston Texans signed Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract the football-loving free world thought it was a good idea; that he would be the quarterback of the future for the franchise. A year later it is safe to say that Osweiler is probably […]

Posted on January 20, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Dallas Cowboys were very concerned about who they would have backing up Tony Romo coming into this season. With his injury history and how things went in 2015 without him, the team knew it had to be better prepared for the worst case scenario—but it wasn’t. […]

Posted on January 18, 2017, by Travis Pulver Rumors have swirled around Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien and his job security of late. Whether the stories were created because of someone’s wrongful assumption, an overheard comment, or because the team has actually lost confidence in him, we’ll never know. But, at least for now, […]

Posted on January 17, 2017, by Travis Pulver After destroying the Seattle Seahawks last Saturday to earn a spot in the NFC Championship game, the general perception was that the team said one heck of a goodbye to their soon-to-be-former-stadium, the Georgia Dome (next year they move into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium). They expected to be […]

Posted on January 17, 2017, by Travis Pulver The AFC Championship Game cannot come soon enough, and not just because a Patriots-Steelers matchup should be pretty darn good. If they start playing, maybe one of the dumbest controversies in recent history will go away—Antonio Brown’s Facebook video in the Steelers locker room following the win […]

Posted on January 16, 2017, by Travis Pulver Had you asked anyone before kickoff who the hero of the game was going to be when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs were done playing they would have said Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell, Travis Kelce, Alex Smith, Tyreek Hill, or Eric Berry. The […]

Posted on January 15, 2017, by Travis Pulver This one must hurt for Dallas Cowboys fans—and not just a little bit but a whole freaking lot. It has to hurt not just because they lost on an end of game field goal attempt, but more because of the insane roller coaster of emotions fans experienced […]

Posted on January 15, 2017, by Travis Pulver For the Houston Texans to beat the New England Patriots Saturday night, they would need to make history. They would need to figure out some way to slow down the No. 3 scoring offense in the league while somehow getting their 28th ranked scoring offense to put […]

Posted on January 15, 2017, by Travis Pulver Fans of teams other than the Atlanta Falcons were probably a little surprised at how the Falcons-Seahawks game turned out. Not so much that the Falcons won but how they won the game. Atlanta’s offensive prowess was no surprise, but how the defense played certainly was. When […]

Posted on January 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver It has been a long time coming as far as Dallas Cowboys fans are concerned, but if all goes well Sunday afternoon, their team is going to be moving on to a place that used to be familiar territory. Sadly, they have not been there in a […]

Posted on January 13, 2017, by Travis Pulver Revenge can be a powerful motivational tool. It can drive a player to dig deeper than they thought possible to make the big play for their team when it is needed most. However, at the same time, if a player is unable to keep the passion and […]

Posted on January 12, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Baltimore Colts were not supposed to beat the New York Jets in Super Bowl III. Kansas City didn’t have any business beating the Minnesota Vikings the following year either. Super Bowl XXV was finally going to be Buffalo’s year, but instead, it belonged to the New […]

Posted on January 11, 2017, by Travis Pulver Miracles can happen. Nice guys don’t have to finish last. The nerd can get the beauty queen and any team really can win on any given Sunday—even the Cleveland Browns. If they didn’t, what would Disney make movies about? Original ideas? Star Wars? Houston Texans fans probably […]

Posted on January 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver It was a heck of a game Monday night and one that Alabama fans, players, and coaches will have to live with until next season. Could they have won if Bo Scarbrough didn’t go down with a broken leg? Did they abandon the run too soon after […]

Posted on January 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Seahawks have made a living playing dominant defense the last few seasons, and this year is no different. They have not been as consistent against the pass without Earl Thomas in the lineup, but they still allowed teams to score only 18.2 points/game this season. Seattle […]

Posted on January 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver It may seem hard to believe, but the Jacksonville Jaguars were a good football team at one time. It’s been awhile, but they have been good. From 2005-07 they were 31-17, made the playoffs twice, and even won a playoff game. But since then, the team has […]

Posted on January 10, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the CFP system was devised, the hope was that a true national champion could be crowned after the two best teams in the nation battled it out on the gridiron. After watching how quickly Clemson dispatched Ohio State and how Alabama defeated Washington, it was clear […]

Posted on January 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver Leading up to Saturday’s win over the Oakland Raiders, rumors had begun to circulate that many of the coaching searches were on hold because everyone wanted to wait and see what happens in Houston. Not whether the Texans or Raiders would win, but whether O’Brien would still […]

Posted on January 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver In the past, Eli Manning had good luck playing in Green Bay during the postseason. He has managed to get his Giants to play above and beyond expectations when he needed them to most. For his Giants to take down the Packers Sunday, they needed “Playoff Eli” […]

Posted on January 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver If the Miami Dolphins were going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, they were going to need more than just their best game. They were going to need more than a stellar performance from Matt Moore, a big day from Jay Ajayi, and a masterful game by […]

Posted on January 8, 2017, by Travis Pulver To beat the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night, the Detroit Lions had to do certain things. They had to stop Seattle from running the ball. They needed to run the ball themselves. Matt Stafford had to have a good day, and the defense had to keep Russell Wilson […]

Posted on January 8, 2017, by Travis Pulver Expectations were not high for the opening game of the NFL postseason Saturday afternoon. The Houston Texans didn’t inspire confidence with Brock Osweiler at the helm. Oakland didn’t inspire much either with third-string rookie quarterback Connor Cook making his first career start—the first in the Super Bowl […]

Posted on January 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver No one was surprised when the Indianapolis Colts signed Andrew Luck to such a massive deal during the offseason last year. His play over the first few years of his career warranted a healthy pay raise from his rookie deal. However, what has been surprising is the […]

Posted on January 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the playoff match-ups were officially announced, members of the media covering the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers let out a sigh of relief. The hardest part of their job was already done for them—figuring out what to write. They would have to cover Eli […]

Posted on January 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver Back in Week Six of the regular season, the Miami Dolphins surprised the football-loving free world by not only defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers but dominated them, 30-15. Dominated may even be putting it lightly. The Dolphins outgained the Steelers 474 yards to 297, sacked and intercepted Ben […]

Posted on January 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver At one time, it looked like this was going to be a truly magical season for the Detroit Lions. Despite the lack of a running game, the offense was looking good, the defense was playing well, and the team was finding ways to win games late. When […]

Posted on January 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver This year, the playoffs will feature some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL—just not in the AFC Wild Card game between the Houston Texans and Oakland Raiders. While some games will feature MVP candidates like Aaron Rodgers and Matt Stafford the Texans-Raiders game will feature the […]

Posted on January 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Everyone likes to say “We Want Bama” until they actually have to face Alabama Crimson Tide, but the Clemson Tigers mean it. Unlike most of College Football, Clemson has taken the best shots Alabama had to offer—and almost won. But that was in last year’s national championship […]

January 7th, 2017 is when the NFL Playoffs officially begin. Offshore Sportsbooks and Las Vegas, Nevada casinos have their Super Bowl Futures finalized. As of right now the New England Patriots are +190 to win it all this year. The second most favored team is Americas Team the Dallas Cowboys at +400. The Green Bay […]

Posted on January 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver On paper, the Oklahoma Sooners and Auburn Tigers were a pretty decent match. Oklahoma had the offensive firepower, but not the defense. Auburn had the defense and a good running game but wasn’t one for passing the ball—which was good for Oklahoma since they had one of […]

Posted on January 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the regular season ended, there were two teams that no one wanted to play in a bowl game—the USC Trojans and the Penn State Nittany Lions. Both got off to poor starts this season (Penn State 2-2; USC 1-3), and there didn’t appear to be a […]

Posted on January 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver Western Michigan entered the Cotton Bowl with high hopes. With their high-scoring offense powered by one of the most efficient passing games in college football and a defense that allowed an average of 19.5 points/game, they believed they could do more than just hang with the Wisconsin […]

Posted on January 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver On the surface, the Week 17 game for the Dallas Cowboys meant nothing. It didn’t matter if they beat the Philadelphia Eagles or not. They would have the best record in the NFC regardless and will host whatever games they play in during the postseason (except the […]

Posted on January 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver The last time the Detroit Lions won a division title—well, the division they won the title of no longer exists. Yes, it was that long ago (1993 to be exact; NFC Central). But heading into Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers they were in a […]

Posted on January 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver Western Michigan is in a unique position heading into the Cotton Bowl Monday afternoon. They can do one of two things. They can prove that Group of Five (American, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt conferences) teams deserve more respect with a big win over […]

Posted on January 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver Everyone likes to claim “We Want Alabama” but most say it with the knowledge that they will more than likely never have to act on the claim—but not Clemson. They are probably the one team that said it, meant it and going into Saturday night’s CFP Semifinal […]

Posted on January 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver If you listened or read enough of the pro-Washington hype leading up to Saturday’s CFP Semifinal game against Alabama, you might have begun to believe the Huskies had a chance. If you watched how easily Jake Browning marched Washington down the field on their second drive of […]

Posted on December 31, 2016, by Travis Pulver Earlier this season, if anyone had said that Auburn and Oklahoma would play well enough to make it to one of the more prestigious bowl games, that person would have been laughed off the internet, radio waves, or Sportscenter set. Both had rather ambitious early schedules that […]

Posted on December 31, 2016, by Travis Pulver Of all the bowl games, the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl, may have the most intriguing match-up with the USC Trojans taking on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Both were playing like teams worthy of playoff consideration at the end of the regular season, but […]

Posted on December 31, 2016, by Travis Pulver The idea behind the college football playoffs was supposed to be simple—set up a system by which a true national champion can be crowned. What we have discovered is that we will likely never be able to come to a consensus on who the national champion deserves […]

Posted on December 29, 2016, by Travis Pulver College football’s Bowl Season began a couple of weeks ago, and since then, fans have suffered through some real clunkers but have also been witness to some good football games. That is what makes the bowl season frustrating yet great at the same time—you just don’t know […]

Posted on December 29, 2016, by Travis Pulver Fans of the Georgia Bulldogs and TCU Horned Frogs had high hopes coming into the 2016 season. Both had some talented players coming back but also needed some First-year holes filled. Everything didn’t quite work out for either team. TCU was going to be working in a […]

Posted on December 28, 2016, by Travis Pulver If anyone tunes into the Alamo Bowl Thursday night expecting to see a game like last year’s epic battle between TCU and Oregon—well, they aren’t being fair to Oklahoma State and Colorado. It’s hard to top a game that featured a fifth-year, former walk-on starting at quarterback—for […]

Posted on December 28, 2016, by Travis Pulver For the last few years, the Baylor Bears have been in the national championship conversation for a good part of the season. Coming into this season, with head coach Art Briles being let go in May, the expectations were not nearly as high. But then the craziest […]

Posted on December 28, 2016, by Travis Pulver Some bowl games do feature teams that have no business playing in the postseason. Yes, they qualify with six wins, but that means teams are not required to have a winning record. To be fair, sometimes games with those teams are the most entertaining. But more often […]

Posted on December 26, 2016, by Travis Pulver The handful of people that thought the Detroit Lions could hang with the Dallas Cowboys Monday night were likely puffing their chests out and bragging to anyone and everyone how ”they knew it” when the first half ended with the score tied 21-21. Friends of those people […]

Posted on December 26, 2016, by Travis Pulver When the Houston Texans locked up the AFC South title with a win over the Bengals Saturday night, they secured a home game in the wild-card round, but they had to wait to see if it would be the No. 3 or No. 4 seed. Pittsburgh’s win […]

Posted on December 26, 2016, by Travis Pulver There are a handful of quotes that are often used in conversations about NFL games because they tend to be true. Offense wins games; defense wins championships. Any team can win on any given Sunday. Play like a champion. Leave it all on the field. The list […]

Posted on December 24, 2016, by Travis Pulver Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien made a bold move Monday afternoon that he had to be little anxious about heading into Saturday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Would benching Brock Osweiler for a guy with very little practical experience—Tom Savage—pay off? After the first-half, it […]

Posted on December 24, 2016, by Travis Pulver The best times of year for football fans has been underway for over about a week now—college football’s bowl season. It seems like every time you turn on your television a bowl game is being played somewhere. Stuck at home with the kids while the wife shops […]

Posted on December 23, 2016, by Travis Pulver It is not often that a team cheers for one of its hated rivals, but Thursday night the Dallas Cowboys were doing just that. They wanted the Philadelphia Eagles to win. If the Eagles were to beat the New York Giants, the Cowboys would lock up not […]

Posted on December 22, 2016, by Travis Pulver Dallas Cowboys fans are experiencing some strange feelings right about now. For the older fans, it’s a familiar feeling but one they haven’t experienced in many, many years. It’s something fans of the New England Patriots experience all the time and every team wishes they could experience […]

Posted on December 22, 2016, by Travis Pulver If you were to ask Denver Broncos defensive back Aqib Talib what he would like for Christmas, after his shouting match with Russell Okung last week, he’d probably say an offensive line that can block. But if he were to look at the big picture, he may […]

Posted on December 21, 2016, by Travis Pulver Sunday morning, kids all over the country will enjoy one of the happiest moments of the year—that moment after they wake up, run down the hall, and see all the presents Santa Claus left under their Christmas tree. As the kids smile and squeal with joy as […]

Posted on December 21, 2016, by Travis Pulver Philadelphia is known as the City of Brotherly Love, but Eagles fans do anything but show love to visitors during the holiday season. Their infamous behavior began back in 1968 when they pelted a 19-year old playing Santa with snowballs. In 1989, they gave the Dallas Cowboys […]

Posted on December 21, 2016, by Travis Pulver With two weeks to go, the interest in many games is going to shift. There will no longer be a bevy of fans clamoring to watch whatever game happens to be on television. Diehard fans of the game will, of course, watch anything. Otherwise, you will have […]

Posted on December 20, 2016, by Travis Pulver The Washington Redskins found themselves in an enviable position heading into Monday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Thanks to the Dallas Cowboys beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday night, they had control over the No. 6 seed in the NFC. All they had to do now […]

Posted on December 20, 2016, by Travis Pulver It was a heck of a moment Sunday night. The Dallas Cowboys needed to reassert their dominance after a couple of poor outings including their second loss of the season to the New York Giants. Standing in their way was a good Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. But they […]

Posted on December 19, 2016, by Travis Pulver It will take a minor miracle for the Indianapolis Colts to make it to the postseason this year. After losing to the Texans in Week 14, their only hope would be to win out and hope that the Texans and Titans lose two of their final three. […]

Posted on December 19, 2016, by Travis Pulver Heading into Sunday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there was more uncertainty surrounding the Dallas Cowboys than you would expect for an 11-win team. But after the loss to the Giants, the Dallas bandwagon became much lighter, and the haters found courage in numbers. Can […]

Posted on December 19, 2016, by Travis Pulver Brock Osweiler was supposed to be the answer for the Houston Texans at quarterback. He was expected to take the offense to the next level and help the team win games. Instead, the offense has struggled mightily, and the team has won games despite him rather than […]

Posted on December 18, 2016, by Travis Pulver It is finally here. College football’s bowl season has begun. A full slate of games ushered in the 2016-17 bowl season, and as could be expected, there was some good play, some bad play, some questionable play, and some stuff that was just downright laugh-out-loud funny. But […]

Posted on December 18, 2016, by Travis Pulver Fans of the Miami Dolphins are going to be breathing a little easier for the next week. They knew Matt Moore didn’t look half-bad five years ago, but there was no telling how he’d do for a full game before Saturday night’s contest against the New York […]

Posted on December 17, 2016, by Travis Pulver Technically, the Carolina Panthers are not out of the playoff picture yet. It may seem hard to believe with how they’ve played this season and their 5-8 record, but mathematically they are still alive. But to remain alive, they need the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers […]

Posted on December 17, 2016, by Travis Pulver Up until some news broke out of Minnesota Friday afternoon, this one did not look too interesting. You have two teams hanging on to razor-thin playoff hopes with neither in control of their own destiny. But since they do have hope, it is unlikely either will just […]

Posted on December 17, 2016, by Travis Pulver According to the Dallas Cowboys, there is no quarterback controversy. Jason Garrett said he never thought about removing Dak Prescott from last week’s game for Tony Romo and that the team has not considered benching Prescott for Romo, leaving many with one question. Why not? He wasn’t […]
