Vontaze Burfict has developed a reputation across the NFL as a head-hunter. He has previously been suspended six games for multiple instances of “unnecessary roughness” or illegal hits to the head. This time, he’s done for the season. We’ll get to this instance a bit later, but before we do, let’s take a look at his past.
CFB Game Picks
Welcome back to another week of picking the college football games. Let’s shoot for under 10 losses this week.
Welcome back to another week of college football picks! I’m hoping to recover from a relatively poor week of picking last week after a great week one. I’m picking teams to win, not to cover the spread. Let’s get into it.
Last week was a pretty solid week. I went 55-13 with most of my losses being because I picked the underdog. My goal this week is to get under 10 incorrect. Let’s do it.
Welcome to week two of my stock up, stock down series where we evaluate NFL Draft prospect’s weekly performances. Let’s get into it.
Welcome to the first week of my game picks. In this series, I will pick every single game that is being played on Saturday’s (plus any good games on Fridays). For the sake of my reader’s eyes not glazing over, I will only give my reasoning on picks for five games and they will always be the first five games in the article. Let’s get into it.
Welcome to the first week of stock up, stock down. In this series of articles, we will look at some NFL draft prospects and their performance during the week. Based on how they performed, they will be filed under either stock up, or stock down.
As the college football season looms on the horizon, let’s take a look at some of the most talented running backs in the country. You may be surprised where some of the bigger names fall on this list. Check out my top 10 quarterbacks here.
Watching Justin Herbert made me feel like I was already scouting a professional. He has all of the intangibles that a good NFL quarterback is supposed to have, and his decision to return to Oregon just shows that he wants to improve even more to ensure that he’s ready for the NFL. Herbert has the body of a pocket passer, but don’t let that fool you. The man can still run when he needs to escape trouble. He’s the complete package of arm strength, accuracy, and the ability to run. This is my third year scouting, and I can safely say that Herbert is one of the most well-rounded prospects that I’ve scouted.
The Houston Texans had the second-best season record-wise since the franchise was created in 2002, going 11-5. Deshaun Watson proved a lot of doubters wrong last year when he showed that he could be effective without throwing 10+ interceptions. He took 62 sacks last year which didn’t help their cause. Whether or not the Texans’ offensive line can hold up this year could make or break their playoff run and how far they can go.
In the last two years, a few teams in Major League Baseball have been experimenting with what is now termed “the opener”. The opener is a high-leverage reliever that a team uses to start the game. He will usually throw one or two innings at the max. The goal of the opener is to get through the top half of the lineup so that the starter who takes over later on will not have to face the top of the opposing batting order more than twice in a game. The Tampa Bay Rays were the first team to experiment with the opener using relievers, Ryne Stanek and Sergio Romo (now of the Miami Marlins).
Because the Buffalo Bills don’t play in a big market city or have a flashy superstar, people tend to overlook them. They made the playoffs two years ago with a bit of help from Tyler Boyd and Andy Dalton, but last year wasn’t quite as successful. They had a second-year head coach and a rookie quarterback with very little offensive line help. This year there are no excuses. Josh Allen has spent ample time in the Buffalo system to familiarize himself with the expectations of the coaching staff and of the fans. He also has some weapons and some protection now. Everything is set up for another Buffalo playoff appearance, but can they follow through?
