Click here for last week's Power 10. 1 (2) Giants 3-0 The defending Super Bowl champions finally get some love in the Power 10. It’s been a long time coming, because God knows respect comes hard from this lifelong Patriots fan, but there are some undeniable facts here. First, they made the Washington Redskins look stupid. As we’ve since discovered, the Redskins are a pretty good football team. Second, until the horseshoe is surgically removed from Eli Manning’s butt, he’s extremely dangerous... Read Full Story

If September has proven anything, it’s that the New England Patriots are still in the mix to win the AFC even without Tom Brady. The Denver Broncos are a tremendous offensive team, but their defense might be the worst in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills are undefeated, but is anyone seriously scared of Trent Edwards and company? The Indianapolis Colts have looked mortal, and even with their starting quarterback they’ve barely won a single game. The Jaguars’ offense looks disorganized and their... Read Full Story

Do or Die Time for the Jets This isn't the way it was supposed to go down in New York. The Buffalo Bills weren't supposed to be the ones taking advantage of a suddenly old and quarterback-less New England Patriots team. It was supposed to be the New York Jets. They were like Charles Barkley in a casino this offseason; they just couldn't stop throwing down large chunks of money. All that money was supposed to make them a better team. They were supposed to be able to compete with Tom Brady's... Read Full Story

It’s so confusing. Everything’s backwards. The Titans, Bills, Broncos, and Ravens are undefeated and on top of their respective divisions. The Chargers, Jaguars, and Colts are 1-2. The Patriots are playing without Tom Brady and were just blown out at home by the Dolphins. Ben Roethlisberger was sacked so many times by the Eagles’ defense last week, he actually referred to himself as “Drew Bledsoe” in the post game press conference. It’s the bizzaro AFC. The changing of the guard in the AFC is... Read Full Story

Interesting thing when looking at this week’s slate: all of the home teams are favored to win except for the Green Bay Packers, who happen to be playing the best team in the NFL. I’m not sure I remember a week where fifteen out of sixteen home teams were favored. Couple of quick items before I get to the picks. As I’m sure you know, we do the NFL Power 10 every Wednesday morning. If you’re looking for a decent compliment to the Power 10, Dan Boone write his Sad-Sack Seven every week. It’s a...

Week Two might have been the most exciting week of games the NFL has seen in a long, long time. We had huge comebacks, high-scoring games, a game winning two-point conversion, and perhaps the best offensive football game I’ve seen in years. There aren’t enough words to describe last week. It was tremendous. Riveting. I was glued to my TV. When it ended, I had three separate discussions with three different people about whether or not it was the most exciting week in NFL history. We all agreed... Read Full Story

I’m as big a critic as anyone of the Dallas Cowboys. I can’t stand the team, from the ownership down to the quarterback’s girlfriend. But man, how ‘bout dem Cowboys? The Eagles are a really good defensive team, and the Cowboys just absolutely shredded them. I’m sure Wade Phillips will figure out a way to screw this up come playoff time (and regardless of what you say in the comments, all Cowboy fans are secretly scared to death of this), but right now Tony Romo and company look unstoppable...

I’ve almost recovered from the knee-shot heard ‘round the world. I’ve accepted the fact that the Patriots are no longer the best team in the NFL, or even the team to beat in their own division (more on this later). I’ve accepted the fact that there’s a new favorite in the AFC East, though I refuse to buy into the fact that the Jets are that team. The Jets barely beat the Miami Dolphins. You remember the Miami Dolphins. While their retired players were making jerks of themselves by rapping... Read Full Story

I’ve watched other teams go through it over the past seven seasons, but the Patriots have been extremely lucky in avoiding the situation. Since Drew Bledsoe was knocked out of that Jets game back in 2001, we’ve always known who the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots was going to be. And trust me when I tell you, we knew how lucky we were.Click here for the rest of the article... Read Full Story
