The second half of the 2020 NFL season gets underway with a Thursday night matchup between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers followed by a slate of games for some teams that hands them a seemingly easy victory. Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t playing but Aaron Rodgers is. Packers win. Prediction: Packers 34 / 49ers 13 Baltimore R ...

We are halfway home in the NFL season with a first-half that had some surprises, some awful teams that playing on the level that was expected of them, and oddly enough, games being played in stadiums with very little to no fans. Stranger days ahead I’m sure. A 9-5 week last week for yours truly and here’s the quick look at what went down. Atlanta Falcons 25 / Carolina Panthers ...

Coming off my best week of the season (10 correct and 4 wrong), we have reached the halfway point of the crazy 2020 NFL season. This week’s schedule features more games that will be a close-fought battle and other games where this year’s worst teams have no shot at getting better. Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers Just a few years removed from a Super Bowl they should have ...

Week seven in the NFL brought a handful of blowouts, bad teams getting worse, and some high scoring shootouts. Time to give you this week’s short takes. Philadelphia 22 New York Giants 21. The Eagles needed a win and thought this might be a walk in the park but much to the contrary they had to battle for a victory against a team with just one win. 49ers 33 / Patriots 6 Jimmy ...

And then there were three. Just three teams in the NFL remain unbeaten thus far in the 2020 season and at 5-0 are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and the Seattle Seahawks. With Pittsburgh in Tennessee this weekend, someone’s 0 has to go. As the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings all take this weekend off with their respective ...

Better late than never I say for some quick thoughts on the week that was in the NFL, week number six to be exact, a slate of games that saw a losing record for yours truly, six games up, seven games down.

Last week I had my best record this season nailing nine out of 13 games correctly. Hopefully, I can get 10 with the forthcoming slate of games. It begins on Thursday with two teams coming off their first loss. Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills: The Chiefs suffered their first loss last week to the Raiders while the Bills got lambasted by the Tennessee Titans just a few night ...

Another week has passed in the NFL and more games affected by COVID-19. But games were played some with surprising results and others with an expected finish. A quick breakdown of each follows. Chicago 20 / Tampa 19: Is Tom Brady approaching the end of the road? He certainly hasn’t been playing “Tom Brady-like.” He got blasted by media and fans for apparently forgetting which ...

As we enter Week 5 in the NFL, thanks to the postponement of the Titans/Steelers game last week I was spared having either a .500 record or with a Steelers win, nine correct predictions in 16 games. So after scoring eight of those games correctly I also missed seven. So far for this weekend’s games, we have only 14 scheduled with two teams having a bye (Detroit and Green Bay). ...

With the fourth week of the NFL season in the books, one game never happened and another was rescheduled without the starting quarterback. Here are my week #4 short takes for the games that happened. Kansas City 26 / New England 10: Cam Newton didn’t play because of COVID but the question is, “would he have made a difference?” I think not. The Chiefs are way ahead of every oth ...
