Five Contenders for Worst Team in the NFL

Week 2 isn't even completely in the books yet, so naturally it's never too early to judge which teams will hold the worst records and the top picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. At time of writing, ten teams are without a win (which will drop to nine after the Seahawks or Bears win on Monday Night.) But they don't all make this list, these teams have a distinct possibility of finishing with few wins after a slow start. Buffalo Bills (0-2) The Bills hold a -55 point differential through two weeks, the worst in the league. And their opponents, the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers, are both only 1-1. There is much tougher competition on the way. Between Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen, Buffalo's offense has a ways to go, putting up a whopping 23 points through two weeks. With AFC East rivals still on the gauntlet, wins could be few and far between for Buffalo. Until the end of the season where they'll win some meaningless games or spoil a rival's s...

2018 NFL Wildcard Weekend Review

The 2018 NFL Playoffs are well underway, in a weekend where three games came down to the final minute, an eighteen point lead was squandered, and division champions were upset at home. I layed out these games and made my picks in a preview,  where I only went 2-2. Both of Saturday's results surprised me, especially the Tennessee Titans comeback against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Atlanta Falcons win over the Los Angeles Rams was slightly more believable, considering Atlanta's playoff pedigree. But I was still shocked the Rams could only muster 13 points, although they weren't great at home all season. Sunday's games felt a lot more predictable, but they were exciting nonetheless. Seeing the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars in the playoffs for the first time in years was a fun way to start the day. The game dragged at times, scoreless for awhile then tied 3-3, before intensity rose in the second half. Blake Bortles gained more yards with his feet (...

Full NFL Wildcard Weekend Preview and Predictions

The 2018 NFL playoffs kick off this weekend with a different feel than recent years. Gone are the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson, and teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, and Tennessee Titans qualified for the first time in years. Of course, familiar faces like the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers also made the postseason, looking to block the paths of any Cinderella runs in the AFC. The first weekend of NFL games in 2018 is loaded with storylines, so let's dive right in to each of the four games. Tennessee Titans (9-7) at Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)    Game Time: Saturday, January 6th, 4:20 PM ET / 1:20 PM PT TV: ESPN Line: Kansas City Chiefs (-8) If these two teams met in the beginning of the 2018 season, it would have been a much more exciting affair. Both offenses were thriving, as the Kansas City Chiefs dropped 24 or more points in each game of their 5-0 start, tallying 42 points...

Jets and Bills Clash at MetLife Stadium on Thursday Night Football

The New York Jets will host the Buffalo Bills in the teams second and final meeting this season. The matchup kicks off Week 9 of the NFL season, taking place Thursday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.  The teams will both don their color rush uniforms, as they did in a similar Thursday night at MetLife setting a couple years back. GAME DETAILS Buffalo Bills (5-2) at New York Jets (3-5) Line: Bills (-3.5) Time: 8:25 PM ET Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ At a surprising 5-2, the Bills have a chance to force a tie with the New England Patriots, who are on a bye this week, for first place in the AFC East. Buffalo already leads the AFC Wildcard pack, so their 6th win of the season would bode very well for their playoff chances moving forward. The Jets also started the season as a pleasant surprise at 3-2. But since then, they've dropped three straight games where they've held a lead and blew it in the second half. A lo...
