After an embarrassing showing in Atlanta, the San Francisco 49ers head back to Levi’s Stadium to take on a strong Kansas City Chiefs team. Since the 31-20 loss in the 2019-20 Super Bowl, the 49ers have yet to meet the Chiefs in the regular season. So far this year, the 49ers have had several major issues with injuries, keeping leads, and scoring points. The Chiefs … Continue reading Chiefs, 49ers Preview

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
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
