AFC NORTH Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) Last year the Bengals won the division at 12-4 and then lost the wild card round (like they have the last 5 years in a row) to the Steelers. Pittsburgh made the playoffs thanks to a late run and only missed the division due to a string of what should have been devastating injuries. Big Ben was out for a good bit of the season, Leveon Bell was out for most of the season, and Antonio Brown was playing hurt for a decent bit. If we accept the fact that the Steelers probably won’t see ...

NFL Preseason Division Predictions: AFC South
AFC SOUTH Houston Texans: (10-6) The Texans have been a breakout candidate for years now. They’ve had a stout defense and have developed some strong offensive weapons in the past year. Finally, their offseason moves have been impeccable. First, they may have finally filled the devastating void in the quarterback position that has plagued their offense for the last 5 years by stealing Brock Osweiler from Denver. Osweiler is young and inexperienced but, in the eyes of many, outplayed Peyton Manning last year when he was given the chance. Osweiler is far from a sure-bet, but he gives a breath ...
NFL DIVISION PREDICTIONS 2016: AFC WEST
AFC WEST 2016 Oakland Raiders (11-5) This is, admittedly, a borderline absurdly bold prediction. One of the worst teams in the NFL two years ago overtaking the reigning Super Bowl champs for the division? But, there’s just so much to love about this Oakland Raiders team and so much to hate about the rest of the teams in this division.
First, Derek Carr is more than an acceptable quarterback. He has grown into a dominant force and leader. Last year’s additions of wideouts Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree really let Carr shine. Speaking of Michael Crabtree, he put up HUGE ...
NFL 2016 DIVISION PREVIEW 1 OF 8: AFC EAST
AFC EAST PREVIEW FOR 2016-17 SEASON New England Patriots (12-4) The Patriots will be without their beloved Tom Brady for the first four games of the season. However, even with Garroppolo behind the center, the Pats should easily be able to go 2-2 if not 3-1 with the Cardinals in week 1 representing their only likely loss. If last year was any lesson, Tom Brady with something to prove is a force to be reckoned with. Expect a huge winning streak to begin in game 5. With a deep backfield, wideout talent in Amendola and Edelman, Gronk and the addition ...
Carolina Panthers Will Not Win Super Bowl 50 Vs Denver Broncos, Peyton Manning
Super Bowl 50 Predictions, NFL Picks: Denver Broncos vs Carolina Panthers Everything about Super Bowl 50 points to the Carolina Panthers winning this game on paper. If you’ve followed the Denver Broncos this season and throughout these playoffs, it is clear that Peyton Manning is on his last legs.
The offense is stumbling a little bit, the receivers are dropping Manning’s wobbly passes, and without the downfield passing game the Denver Broncos running game has had trouble establishing itself. This is an offense that quite simply gave the Patriots too many chances to win the AFC championship. They barely deserve to ...
NFL Playoffs Predictions: Super Bowl 50 is Denver Broncos vs Carolina Panthers
NFL Playoffs Picks Update: Denver Broncos vs Carolina Panthers Super Bowl 50 We were so close to a perfect NFL playoffs bracket. The last game of the NFL playoffs did not go our way as the Carolina Panthers clinched their spot in the Super Bowl by blowing out my Arizona Cardinals, and so dies my love affair for Larry Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer. Fortunately, my favoritism of Peyton Manning, love of DeMarcus Ware, and really my affinity for the Denver Broncos defense overall worked out for us as the Broncos had one of the most memorable 4th quarter defensive stands ...
NFC Championship Game Pick: Cardinals at Panthers
NFL Playoffs Picks: NFC Championship – Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers The NFC Championship prediction doesn’t have much of a Z-Code output and with good reason. The Carolina Panthers have been dominant this season, but looked vulnerable down the stretch after injuries began to take their toll. They run the ball effectively and Cam Newton is having a season for the ages. Still, I’m going to take the Arizona Cardinals in this one.
I think that the Arizona Cardinals have enough balance offensively to score on the Carolina Panthers defense. If they can get ahead, I think the Carolina Panthers ...
AFC Championship Prediction: Broncos Pats, Brady Manning
NFL Playoffs Picks: AFC Championship, New England Patriots at Denver Broncos I don’t trust Peyton Manning at all right now. He’s old, he forgot how to throw a spiral, he doesn’t like the cold weather, he’s not particularly healthy, and he isn’t winning games by himself anymore. That said, he puts his team in positions to win. He knows when to run the ball and he audibles his team into advantages on every play. Peyton Manning may not be what he once was, but he’s enough for the Denver Broncos to make it to another Super Bowl.
The reason that I ...
NFL Playoffs Predictions: Denver Broncos vs Pittsburgh Steelers
NFL Playoffs Picks: Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos The injuries the Pittsburgh Steelers are facing adds a new element to a game I was already pretty confident about. Both of their top running backs are hurt, Antonio Brown has been ruled out with a concussion, and Ben Roethlisberger is battling an injury to his shoulder. I do not see how this team will compete.
The Denver Broncos have the best defense in football and the best pass rush. I like them to be all over a depleted Pittsburgh Steelers team. While the Steelers defense is underrated and manages to keep ...
NFL Playoffs Predictions: Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals
NFL Playoffs Picks: Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals The Green Bay Packers delivered a convincing win for us last week and we nearly predicted the score exactly correct. During our perfect first round of the NFL Playoffs, we got what we expected from Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers played well, carrying a mediocre team to victory. Here, they just don’t have enough to take out the Arizona Cardinals. We’re on the Arizona Cardinals in a teaser or ML parlay. We’re also on the New England Patriots to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at home.
The Arizona Cardinals have an incredible defense. ...

NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks
NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks The Nashville Predators have been really slumping lately. They are a great team on paper, but they’re stumbling badly of late and slipping in the playoff standings, tied for 5th in the Central.
Betting against the Nashville Predators is always difficult for me. As a New Jersey Devils fan, the defense-first approach is one I’ve grown up with and love. It’s hard for me to watch this mediocre offense stumble so badly that it hurts the consistency of the defense. Right now, the Preds are a huge liability despite their decent record on ...
NFL Playoffs Picks: Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins
NFL Playoffs Picks: Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins Well, after Adam Jones (Pacman Jones) and the Cincinnati Bengals imploded while an injured Ben Roethlisberger played hero again last night for the Pittsburgh Steelers, we opened the NFL Playoffs 2-0. Sure, we had the spread covered either way, but isn’t it nice to protect a perfect bracket? The NFC is a little trickier, but we’re sticking with our prediction of all four road teams winning and I’ve got the Green Bay Packers over the Washington Redskins as well as the Seattle Seahawks over the Minnesota Vikings.
The Green Bay Packers ...
2016 NFL Playoff Predictions: NFC Picks – Cardinals, Seahawks, Panthers
2016 NFC Playoff Predictions: Seahawks, Panthers, Cardinals The NFC is a little tricky because the bottom seed in the playoff picture is the defending NFC champion that probably should have won the Super Bowl last year. The Seattle Seahawks are surging, the Carolina Panthers nearly went unbeaten, the Arizona Cardinals are having a phenomenal season, and even Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers are a tough team to count out. Those Packers just got thumped by the three-seed Minnesota Vikings. The only team I feel comfortable counting out is the Washington Redskins, but in a league where the sixth-seeded Seattle Seahawks can blow away the number two Arizona Cardinals to end the season, nothing is certain.

Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings
This isn’t a knock on the Minnesota Vikings, but I’m taking the Seahawks to win on the road. I don’t trust Seattle on the road and think they will run out of gas, but I think ...

NFL Playoffs Predictions: AFC Bracket Picks – Broncos Patriots
NFL Picks: 2016 AFC Playoff Predictions – Chiefs, Patriots, Broncos, Steelers The AFC playoff bracket appears on its face to offer the more difficult matchups to predict. In the Wild Card Round, both road teams are surging. The Kansas City Chiefs are the hottest team in football, while the Houston Texans barely squeaked into the playoffs. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a high-powered offense that surprisingly found enough success to cancel out a horrible defense, making them one of the most volatile teams around. Meanwhile, the three favorites all have injury issues, with the Cincinnati Bengals losing Andy Dalton to a ...
