Fantasy: Projecting the QBs, Week 2

Posted: 18 Sep 2011 05:42 AM PDT

First, I’ll list the Fantasy Points based on ESPN scoring, and what the defense they are facing gave up last week to their opposing signal-caller. Finally, I’ll project the rankings for week 2.   1. Matthew Stafford, Lions, vs. Chiefs. Last week: 8th, Chiefs defense 27th. I actually have quite a bit of faith in [...]

McDaniels May Lean On Cadillac in Both Run and Pass Game

Posted: 18 Sep 2011 03:31 AM PDT

The myth about Josh McDaniels is that he’s all about the pass. Most offensive coordinators – just like most quarterbacks – prefer to throw more than pass but McDaniels has shown that he’ll take what the defenses give him. When Tom Brady went down and Matt Cassel had to come in with no work with [...]

Warren Sapp’s Attention Grab

Posted: 18 Sep 2011 02:27 AM PDT

I’m a Ravens fan and even I could see exactly what Warren Sapp was doing when he seemingly slammed the Steelers defense on “Inside the NFL”: trying to make a name for himself as a commentator. Sapp announced, "I have three things:  Old, slow, and it's over.” The 2002 Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense [...]

Posted: 18 Sep 2011 02:03 AM PDT

There is no greater defining game between the Buffalo Bills and the Oakland Raiders than this one, folks.

The Lions come into a game favored by more than eight points for the first time since 2000.  It’s been a while since they’ve been heavily favored and it’s also been a while since the Lions were on this side of a trap game.  The Lions get the Chiefs at home after a 34 point loss in week [...]

Getting To Know The Enemy – The Seahawks

Posted: 17 Sep 2011 07:54 PM PDT

Unlike last week when the Steelers played a team that fans know all too well, this week they take on a team that unless you study the game well or have the NFL Sunday Ticket, you probably are not all that familiar with. The Seattle Seahawks are 0-1 after their loss last week at San [...]
