Due to the result of the tie from the Colts-Texans match, they are 14 teams with a record of 0-1. 8 of those teams were in the postseason last year. Since 2019, 27 teams started the season of 0-2, none of those teams made the playoffs, the last team to win the Super Bowl following an 0-2 record were the 2007 Giants so winning this … Continue reading Must Win Games: Week 2
Welcome to Week 2 of the Mental Dimes Pick ‘Em challenge where I compete with all of your collective wisdom to see who will win at the season’s end! Current Score: Me: 5-10-1 You: 10-5-1 I got my ass handed to me last week as nearly every game surprised me. It’s only been one week, though, don’t get too cocky. Chargers @ Chiefs: Chiefs 31-28 … Continue reading NFL Pick ‘Em: Week 2
Start ‘Em Julio Jones: Jones got really involved against Dallas last week, in both rushing and receiving. Going into a Saints defense where you can be almost certain Marshon Lattimore is going to be 1v1 with Mike Evans all day, this will free up Jones to be the primary target for Tom Brady. Look for him to do well this week. Devin Singletary: The back … Continue reading Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em: Week 2
The best way to describe Sunday’s action to start the 2022 NFL season is to say that it picked up where it left off in 2021. Teams rallied back to win, gutsy calls from first year head coaches and a tie! Not to mention a couple of very untimely injuries to star players, week 1 has not been a letdown. It’s time to do what … Continue reading Overreaction Monday: NFL Week 1

Eagles @ Lions: Eagles 17-16 This … Continue reading Week 1 Pick ‘Em
The next time we see two NFL teams take the field for a game, it will be when the Buffalo Bills travel to Los Angeles to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Rams in the 2022 regular season kickoff. While the past three weeks have been filled with NFL football, it’s only been the preseason. While the preseason isn’t meaningless, there are some things … Continue reading NFL Post-Preseason Power Rankings
The college football season is in full swing, and the week one action is superb. A marquee matchup between two top five teams in primetime on Saturday should be a fun one to watch. There are playoff implications on the line as the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame travel to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Grab your popcorn and favorite beverage, and … Continue reading Notre Dame v Ohio State Preview
Start ‘Em Jerry Jeudy: Everyone knows this game is important for Russell Wilson returning home to do work against his old team. It is going to be a huge statement game against a Seattle team that I think is going to be one of the weakest in the league (see my predictions for each team’s season here). This can only stand to benefit Jeudy, who … Continue reading Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em: Week 1
(2)QB Joe Burrow Brandon Allen Many Cincinnati fans wanted to see Brandon Allen and Jake Browning compete for that back up QB spot but in all reality, this has always been Brandon Allen’s job the organization seems to really like him. Jake browning did have a good camp and if he doesn’t end up getting picked up should be a prime candidate for the Bengals … Continue reading Cincinnati Bengals 53 Man Projection
