The draft is less than 24 hours away and many things have changed since my last mock draft. This will also include the second round which should be very interesting this year as team’s now can think about potential trades overnight. Regardless of what happens, it is going to be a very exciting weekend for football fans everywhere.1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma: The Rams are in a

Last year’s wide receiver class was a very strong group that had many players who look like they will make an impact for years to come. Michael Crabtree held out into the regular season but it looks like he will breakout in his second year. Jeremy Maclin showed his big play ability and is another weapon for Kevin Kolb to throw to. Hakeem Nicks looks like the number one receiver the Giants have

Last year’s running back class didn’t have as many impact players compared to recent draft’s but there were plenty of contributors. Knowshon Moreno and Chris Wells both showed flashes in their rookie year and both should see more of an impact on offense in their second year. LeSean McCoy and Shonn Greene didn’t see as much regular season duty but will play huge roles for their team’s this

Last year’s draft class at quarterback didn’t have much depth, but the three who were selected in the first round all showed promise. Matthew Stafford like any first overall pick had a rookie year filled with up’s and downs and ended the year on injured reserve. He should only get better from here with a year under his belt. Mark Sanchez reached the playoffs in his first year as a starter and

The draft is less than a month and a half away and as the dust from free agency spending settles, team’s needs are starting to become clearer. This is my first mock draft but expect many more in the coming weeks along with position rankings.1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma: The Rams are in a situation similar to what the Lions were in last year. While Aaron Curry was considered to be

Unfortunately, there is only one game left in the NFL season and it is the one we have all been waiting for. Coming into the season, the Colts replaced Tony Dungy with Jim Caldwell and with Peyton Manning at quarterback haven’t missed a beat. The Saints led by quarterback Drew Brees will be playing in their first ever Super Bowl and it should be an emotional game for both the team and the city of

In the eyes of many people we have finally reached the best football week of the year. Two high intensity games to determine the matchup of who will be fighting for the ultimate prize in the Super Bowl. While these games are very hard to predict, the one thing that we know for sure is that every possible matchup would have some compelling storylines. Here is every possible Super Bowl scenerio and

Last year I mentioned how while the Shrine game doesn't have the same hype as the Senior Bowl,they have had their share of big name players such as Jared Allen, Greg Jennings, Marques Colston and Wes Welker. Participants from last year's game are already having an impact on their team's as well. Mike Thomas and Sammie Stroughter both gave their teams a spark as slot receivers and return men while

Last week was another indication that anything can happen once the playoffs begin. In a season where parity seemed to disappear, every team that was considered an underdog going in and other then the Packers Cardinals game they weren't even close. It was a rough week for me as well and hopefully the games and my predictions are better this week.Last week: 1-3Playoffs: 1-3Last week with the spread

After an exciting regular season, the playoffs are finally here. The 12 teams who remain have played their hardest to get here and from this point on anything can happen. As far as predictions go, this week is very difficult to pick. Three of the matchups this weekend are rematches from the last week of the regular season and a few of the teams who had nothing to play for didn't exactly go all

The final week of the regular season is here which also means that it is the hardest time to predict games. With most of the playoff seeding already determined, it is hard to tell what teams will do with their players. Regardless this week should have lots of competitive football as the final playoff spots and jobs are on the line.Game of the weak: Colts vs Bills: Assuming the Colts don't play

The last week of the fantasy football season is upon us and if your team is fortunate enough to have a shot at winning the title, continue what has brought your team to this point and when it comes to positions where you aren't as certain play the matchups.QB: Josh Freeman vs Saints: Freeman was very solid last week and while he isn't worth starting as a number one quarterback, he is a sleeper

Last week was a very tough one to predict as the parity that had been completely missing this entire season made a cameo last week. The races for the final playoff spots look like they will come down to the very end. Going into this week eight teams were in the hunt for the two wild card positions. Even though the Titans loss to the Chargers lowers the number to seven, it should be a very

Early on in the season, this seemed like a game without much at stake. After an 0-6 start, it seemed like the Titans were destined for a top pick in this year's draft. But with Vince Young at quarterback and a heavy dose of the electrifying Chris Johnson, the team has now won seven of it's last eight to be in the thick of the playoff race. While the single season rushing record appears out of

For most fantasy players, this is one of if not the biggest week of the year. This is either the week of the league championship game or when the matchup will be determined. It all comes down to this, so it is key that you search the waiver wire and try and find as many favorable matchups as possible.QB: Jason Campbell vs Giants: For all the negative press you hear about Campbell, it's hard to

This past week was a very sad one for the NFL and its fans as Bengals receiver Chris Henry died at the age of 26. The saddest part of the story is how Henry was starting to turn his life around. During the first few years of his career, Henry along with his former college teammate Adam "Pacman" Jones frequently made the news for all the wrong reasons and eventually Roger Goodell had to step in

While the Colts have already clinched everything possible in the AFC, the season is on the line for the Jaguars. Even though the Jaguars control their own destiny as the final wildcard in the AFC, it's up for debate if the team is as good as their record indicates. Even though they are a very young team, wins against the Chiefs, Rams and Bills all came down to the last minute and those are teams

Last week was another solid one for my fantasy studs as Alex Smith, Matt Forte, Jeremy Maclin and Shayne Graham all had solid weeks. In many leagues, this is the first week of playoff games. While some leagues start the playoffs next week, starting it now would make more sense as you would have the chance to get points out of your key players who's teams have already clinched homefield advantage

This is the most important week of the year for many fantasy owners as their team is either competing for a playoff spot or the playoffs have already started.

Last week was not a great one for my fantasy studs. While the Titans defense was fantastic and Chad Henne had a solid day, the three rookies I selected had little impact on their games and my selection at kicker, Steven Hauschka, was cut this week.

If you didn't follow my advice, you saw a very exciting game which happened to be your team's first win.

While I usually pick all the games at once, due to the first Thursday night game I will just be posting my prediction for this game. Look later in the week for my other predictions and my fantasy studs.The Bears defense has really struggled lately and with a west coast trip on a short week, I don't like their chances against Alex Smith and the 49ers improving passing game alongside Frank Gore

Out of any team in the league, the Cardinals could be the hardest to figure out. After losing by 13 points at home to the Panthers, they come out and beat the Bears by 20 on the road. Even with this inconsistent play at 5-3 the Cardinals should be looking at another division title as nobody else in the division is above .500. Much to the dismay of defenses around the league, Michael Turner is

This past week wasn't the greatest for my fantasy studs as only Matt Stover had a big game while Devin Hester and Jeremy Shockey both put up respectable numbers. The past few weeks have been a little rough for my fantasy so hopefully this week is a step in the right direction.QB: Matt Hasselbeck vs Lions: In some leagues, Hasselbeck is a free agent. If he is still available, pick him up now. He

Last week was a solid week for my predictions but it was filled with ups and downs. While my Texans vs Bills and Cowboys vs Seahawks picks were right on the money, I missed badly with my Jaguars vs Titans and Panthers vs Cardinals picks. Hopefully my week 9 picks can me more consistent.Game of the weak: Chiefs vs Jaguars: On a week where neither the Browns or Raiders play, it's hard to find a

Last week wasn't the best for my fantasy studs as only Austin Collie and Nate Kaeding had good games. In most fantasy leagues, the first half of the year is already over and now is the time to plan your playoff push. More then ever, it is important to analyze the matchups and search the waiver wire for key free agents.QB: David Garrard vs Titans: Garrard usually doesn't put up great fantasy

Last week was a very good one for my picks as I went 11-2 against the spread. As far as picks go, this year has been a pretty solid one as I am now 15 games over .500 against the spread and I have also been doing pretty well straight up as well. Hopefully I can keep the positive momentum going with my week 8 predictions.Game of the weak: Rams vs Lions: This game could end up being pretty high

After seven weeks, a record three undefeated teams are still left standing. Many of the games this past week were blowouts. Two games however could apply to some of what was said in the Denny Green rant that occurred over four years ago. Here are my week seven extra points. The Giants aren't who we thought they were: While their 5-2 record is impressive, the Cowboys are the only team they have

Last week I didn't get the chance to do my week six fantasy studs so hopefully with these predictions I can bounce back.QB: Matt Cassel vs Chargers: The Chargers defense has really struggled this year and Cassel's numbers have improved every week and is starting to form a solid connection with Dwayne Bowe. Expect around 210 yards and two touchdowns.RB: Jonathan Stewart vs Bills: Stewart has been

This past week was one of the first that showed the parity which we have seen around the league in past years. Teams such as the Chiefs, Raiders and Bills all had very surprising wins which were huge hits to survivor pools. Here are my week seven predictions.Game of the weak: Bills vs Panthers: Both of these teams won last week, but if you enjoy good quarterback play, this one isn't for you.Game

The Saints are currently the best team in the league. Gregg Williams' defense was impressive yesterday constantly getting pressure on Eli Manning and the offense is almost impossible to stop. There next big test is in a few weeks at home against the Falcons which will be a very important game in both the division and overall NFC standings.

A new thing that I am going to start adding to my predictions is how I am fairing against the spread. When I make my predictions, I don't look at it but afterwards it is interesting to see how far off they are from the Vegas lines. Here are my week six predictions.Game of the weak: Rams vs Jaguars: Last week these two teams combined to score a total of ten points. Considering how poor both of

This past week was another example of how this year doesn't contain the parody that a normal NFL season does. There are still four winless teams and as crazy as 0-16 sounded last year, it looks like that a few teams could give the Lions a run this year. Here are my week five extra points.Ronnie Brown doesn’t get as much attention as he deserves. He has put up solid numbers but until you watch him

Last week wasn't a great one for my fantasy studs as only Mike Sims-Walker and the Bengals defense had a real impact. With that being said, I want to remind everyone that I won't be stating the obvious players in this column, but rather guys who have favorable matchups and players who you can find on the waiver wire. Here are my week five fantasy studs.QB: Matt Cassel vs Cowboys: Cassel hasn't

A quarter through the season, only five undefeated teams remain. On the opposite side of the spectrum, it is hard to remember a year where so many teams were this bad out of the gate. There are six winless teams and an additional six only have one win. If you are in a survivor pool, there is a very good chance that their will be multiple winners at the end of the year. That is because there are

With ¼ of the season on the books we’ve seen some surprising developments begin to emerge. Here are my week 4 extra points.Before the year started, I thought Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels was in way over his head and the Broncos would have a miserable year. Instead, they are perfect through week four and after their win against the Cowboys I’m starting to believe. If McDaniels can lead the

Last week wasn't a very good one for my fantasy studs as all in all they didn't put up the numbers I expected. This is a key week for fantasy owners as it is the first week where teams are on bye so it is more important then ever to pay attention to your roster. Here are my week four fantasy studs.QB: Mark Sanchez vs Saints: Sanchez has been excellent for the Jets through three games so far but

Last week was another good one for picks as I went 12-4 and predicted big wins for both the Bengals and Lions. The real contenders are starting to establish themselves and it should be interesting to see what happens this week as their are some great matchups. Here are my week four predictions.Game of the weak: Buccaneers vs Redskins: The Bucs are coming off a game where they had less then 100

This past week was very entertaining with last second wins, upsets and many close games. Here are my thoughts on the past weeks games. Congratulations go out to the Detroit Lions for winning their first game after 19 straight losses. Matthew Stafford played his best game of his very young career and the defense played well. Jim Schwartz has this team headed in the right direction. On the other

Last week was a great one for my fantasy studs as Trent Edwards, Brent Celek, Ryan Longwell and the Broncos defense all had very good games. In terms of fantasy numbers, this appears that it will be the year of the quarterback. Already seven quarterbacks have four touchdowns or more while 11 have thrown for over 500 yards.

Last week was a tough one to predict as there were a few upsets and teams started to have people having second thoughts about them. In one week the Packers went from being one of the elite teams in the NFC to a team with a shaky defense and a poor offensive line. Here are my week three picks.Game of the weak: Redskins vs Lions: Could this finally be the week the Lions win a game? The Redskins are

This week, I am starting a new series that will continue through out the year called extra points. Every monday, I will be sharing my thoughts on what occured in the games the day before. Here are my thoughts on this week in the NFL.Going into the season as the one thing that could hold the team back, the Giants receivers looked very good yesterday against the Cowboys.

Last week was a solid one for my fantasy studs as Cedric Benson and John Carlson had big games while the Seahawks defense pitched a shutout. After week one games, it is important to be patient with your star players. If you drafted a guy like Matt Forte or Steve Slaton who had bad games, they will bounce back as everybody has off games. Here are week two fantasy studs.QB: Trent Edwards vs

The first week of the NFL season was an eventful one and it gave us the opportunity to see what teams look for real and what ones seem to be all preseason hype. The Packers became a trendy team to win the NFC and they showed why winning a rivalry game at home against the Bears and playing very solid defense. On the other hand, the Texans who were supposed to be this year's Cardinals, looked bad

Fantasy football is more popular then ever so it is only fitting that I carry on my positional fantasy stud rankings. The catch is that unlike some things you may read, the players I will be mentioning won't be ones who you took in the first three rounds of the draft. So if you are expecting me to go out on a limb and say that you should start Adrian Peterson this week, this isn't for you. Here

The 2009 season got off to a very good start the other night with the physical Titans Steelers game. Week one is the hardest to predict as your not sure what teams will come out strong and which ones will come out flat.

When people look back on the 2009 NFL season and the year in general, one thing that people will remember is Twitter. It has become a world wide phenomenon and in the NFL teams have started fining players if they "tweet" during meetings or from the sidelines.I finally took the plunge this past week and joined Twitter (username is fbkid if you care to follow).

Last year Cortland Finnegan and Darrelle Revis emerged as all pro caliber corners and should be Pro Bowl frequenters for years to come. Just like the linemen up front, defensive backs are becoming even more important as the quality of the passing game around the league increases. Here are some defensive backs that I think will breakout this year.Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Cardinals:

Last year linebackers such as LaMarr Woodley and D'Qwell Jackson emerged as some of the better young linebackers in the league. Woodley was one of the key components of a strong Steelers defense that went on to win the Super Bowl while Jackson had an excellent year and was one of the biggest Pro Bowl snubs. Here are some linebackers that I think will breakout this year.Lawrence Timmons Steelers:

Last year defensive linemen such as Jay Ratliff and Mathias Kiwanuka emerged and showed that they could be disruptive forces up front. As the league continues to become more passing oriented, it is very important to get young talent to rush the quarterback. Here are some defensive linemen that I think could breakout this year.Derrick Harvey Jaguars: Due to the long holdout through training camp,

Last year tight ends such as Vishante Shiancoe and Anthony Fasano broke out and became key targets in the passing game. Both Shiancoe and Fasano emerged on teams that weren't very deep at receiver and should continue to contribute. Here are some tight ends that I think will breakout this year.John Carlson Seahawks: Carlson had a very impressive rookie season recording 627 yards and five

Last year, receivers such as Antonio Bryant, Lance Moore and Steve Breaston all had breakout seasons. Bryant stepped onto the national scene after he didn't even play football in the 2007 season while Moore and Breaston both came out of the shadows for high passing attacks. Here are some receivers who I think will breakout this year.Donnie Avery Rams: Last year was a very rough one for the Rams

Running back is a position where players breakout every year. Last year backs such as Michael Turner, Pierre Thomas and Derrick Ward brokeout and became names that were known by the common fan. Here are my predictions for running backs who will breakout this year and possibly make their first Pro Bowl.Felix Jones Cowboys: Before his season ending injury, Jones showed the potential that could make

As some of you may remember, last year I made a post about my shocking predictions for the NFL season. While some were right on the mark, other's were way off. When the season is over, I will do a recap of my predictions to see how they played out. So now it's time to look in my crystal ball for my shocking predictions this upcoming football season.1. Steve Slaton will win the rushing title: Most

As passing attacks continue to thrive all around the league, it is important to have a good secondary. Some of the guys I predicted to breakout last year have worked their way into the conversation of the elite at their position. Here is a breakdown of how they did.Cornerback: Eric Wright Browns: What I said: Wright had a very good rookie year as he had 76 tackles and one interception. By the end

Linebackers had a very big impact on the way the season went last year. James Harrison won defensive player of the year and who knows how far the Ravens would have gone if Ray Lewis didn't play so well. While players like Lewis are a few years from retiring, there are a lot of young talented linebackers who will fill their void. Here are how my breakout predictions from last year look now.LaMarr

This is my first post for the defensive side of the ball in the player recap series. Fittingly, it starts with the men up front: the defensive linemen. I only picked 5 of them to breakout last year, but it should be interesting to see how they fared as some of them might have been picked a year too soon.Gaines Adams Buccaneers: What I said: Adams had a solid rookie year as he had 38 tackles and 6

Like my last post, I will be breaking down how my predictions for who would break out last year look now. This time it is wide receivers and tight ends and while some didn't do that well, others did what I expected and more.Wide Receiver:Calvin Johnson Lions: What I said: Johnson had a solid rookie year as he had 756 yards and 4 touchdowns. But compared to his hype coming in, that was a

Some people may remember that last year I had a series of posts where I predicted some players who could breakout and end up having big time years. Now with a new series only a week or two away, I thought it was a good time to reflect on how those predictions looked now. This is the first installment where I predicted quarterbacks and running backs that would breakout last year. Let's see how the

This past weekend I had the opportunity to talk to the Steelers new rookie receiver Mike Wallace. The Steelers took Wallace in the 3rd round with the 84th pick. If you read my pre draft receiver rankings, you may remember that I had Wallace at number eight on the list. Along with being one of the fastest receivers in his draft class with a 4.33 forty yard dash, Wallace is also the first player

Last year was a very good year for rookies in fantasy football. Running backs such as Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Steve Slaton and Jonathan Stewart all had big impacts on people’s teams last year. That's not even mentioning the receivers such as DeSean Jackson and Eddie Royal along with Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco at the quarterback position. While this rookie class isn't as deep, there are some

At this time a few years ago, Joe Flacco was an unknown name to the casual football fan. That is hardly the case now. Flacco came in as a rookie from Delaware which is hardly a football factory and led the Ravens to the AFC Championship game. Now there is another quarterback waiting in the wings at Delaware who is similar in many ways to Flacco. His name is Pat Devlin.Even though he is now

In a few months, training camp will start so it is time for me to unveil my first power rankings of the year. Every team has made lots of changes this offseason so it should once again be a great NFL season. Here are my pre preseason power rankings.1. Pittsburgh Steelers: They are the defending champs and until they lose, they are number one.2. New England Patriots: With Tom Brady coming back,

The draft is less than 48 hours away and many things can still happen. Tony Gonzalez was traded to the Falcons today and that should be the first of many trades to come in the next day or so. This is my last mock for the year so I included my second round picks for the first time. I hope everyone enjoys the draft this weekend as it should be a lot of fun.1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford QB

The Bills traded away all pro left tackle Jason Peters to the Eagles today and this is one of many trades that could shake up players draft stock. Don't be surprised if there are other trades in the upcoming days as well. This is my last mock draft until the two round mock that I will release few days before the draft. So for the next week or so, this is how I think the draft will shape out.1.

Byron Leftwich is once again a quarterback for a Florida NFL team but this time is sure to have a happier ending. Leftwich signed a two year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today and should come in right away and compete for the starting job against Luke McCown, Josh Johnson and Brian Griese. Here is why Leftwich could become a quality starter along with a very good fantasy option during his

In terms of immediate impact, last year’s class of receivers wasn’t a very good one. Donnie Avery, Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson showed flashes of brilliance in their rookie years but the rest of the class was a disappointment. Many people had high expectations for Malcolm Kelly, Devin Thomas and James Hardy but none of them showcased their potential in their rookie seasons. Jerome Simpson,

Due to the Jay Cutler trade, lots of things have changed in the draft. The Broncos now have the Bears first rounder and that has many believing they will trade up to take Mark Sanchez. Either way, this has driven up the stock of quarterbacks as many teams still need one in the worst way. Here is my 3rd mock draft and look for my two round mock in the next week or so.1. Detroit Lions: Matt

Last year's draft class was a very strong one for running backs. Jonathan Stewart, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Kevin Smith and Steve Slaton all had very big impacts on their teams last year. Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall and Felix Jones should also have big impacts next year as they were slowed down by injuries. While the 2008 draft class could go down as the "Year of the running back", the

The arguing between Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos has been well documented. After attempting to trade for Matt Cassel who new head coach Josh McDaniels worked with in New England, Cutler was angry and wanted to be traded. Today, he finally got his wish as he is going to the Chicago Bears. The Bears gave up a king’s ransom for Cutler including two first round picks, a third rounder and last

Unlike last year, this draft isn't very deep at the quarterback position. Last year happened to be a pretty strong class of quarterbacks as Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco came in right away and led their teams to the playoffs and should be stars for years to come. Chad Henne also has the potential to become an elite quarterback when the Dolphins start him which is most likely in 2010. Here are my

When the whole draft process started, Nate Davis was a quarterback who lots of people were talking about. He led the Ball State Cardinals, a school that is better known for producing David Letterman than any NFL player, to a 12-0 start. People were praising him and calling him the next great quarterback to come from the MAC. Now March rolls along when you would expect Davis to show scouts why he

Many things have changed since my first mock draft. After the combine and free agency in full swing, some teams have already tackled some of their biggest needs and have other areas they need to address. Some players as a result of this and for different reasons at the combine have seen their stock drop but it is only the middle of March so lots of things can happen. Here is my latest mock draft

Matt Cassel was an afterthought to most fans until week one of last season when Tom Brady tore his ACL against the Kansas City Chiefs. Cassel was then put into the starting role where he went on to throw for 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Today, Cassel has been traded to the team that gave him the chance to shine. It was rumored that the Patriots would need at least a first rounder to trade

For many fans, free agency is the official start of a new season and the first day of free agency is when many players get big time money. This is also a day that can make or break a team. A good signing can give a contending team that one piece that puts them over the top while a bad signing could damage the salary cap and possibly cost a GM its job. Here are my winner and losers for the first

With players reporting to the combine, it is a good time to start projecting how the draft will shake up. A lot will change between now and April, so expect plenty of mock drafts in the upcoming months. Also expect in depth analysis as I come out with my position rankings. Here is my first of many mock drafts.1. Detroit Lions: Matt Stafford QB Georgia2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith T Baylor3.

Unfortunately, there is only one game left in the NFL season and it is the one we have all been waiting for. Coming into the season, the Steelers were a preseason favorite in the AFC as they have one of the league's best quarterbacks in Ben Roethlisberger and a very strong defense. For some time now the Cardinals have always been a trendy pick to make the playoffs. Now that they finally got there

Recently ESPN's Chris Mortensen and NFL Network's Adam Schefter had conflicting reports on Mike Shanahan becoming the new head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. While Mortensen said that Shanahan would become the new coach, Schefter said "Unless people I have known for years are blatantly lying to me, Mike Shanahan is not going to be the head coach of Kansas City Chiefs." This brings up a question

As some of you may remember, this preseason I put together a list of ten shocking predictions I had for the NFL season. With two weeks of down time until the Super Bowl, it's a good time to look back on how I did. Some of them were right on the money while others were the farthest thing from the truth.1.

This is the weekend that we have been waiting for all season as the Super Bowl matchup will finally be determined. The final four teams all have unique styles as the Ravens and Steelers have excellent defenses with solid offenses while the Eagles and Cardinals both have explosive offenses with both defenses improving every week. Here are my championship game picks in which should be two great

While the Senior Bowl gets most of the attention from scouts looking for players in the draft, the East-West Shrine Bowl has had their share of big names as well. Pro Bowlers such as Marques Colston, Greg Jennings, Jay Ratliff, Wes Welker and Jared Allen have all played in the game. This is also a time where some players from smaller schools get their chance to shine and attract attention. Some

Wild Card weekend was a very good one as many teams had strong showings. Going in many people including myself doubted the Cardinals chances against a hot Falcons team. They ended up playing very well on both sides of the ball and won in convincing fashion. The Ravens also impressed as the defense was fantastic as always and Joe Flacco did a good job of managing the game. Here are my divisional
