For the second time in three years, the Jacksonville Jaguars hope to go from last to first in the AFC South. Does their new quarterback have enough support? In 2017, the Jacksonville Jaguars won their first division title since 1999. Doug Marrone’s club would embark on a playoff run that saw them outslug the Buffalo

As the 2019 NFL season approaches, the New York Jets seem like a trendy pick to contend for the playoffs. Can they do it this year? When the New York Jets took Sam Darnold with the third pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, an entire new era had officially begun for the organization. Although the
The Baltimore Ravens snuck into the playoffs and the Cleveland Browns have all the buzz, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are the team to watch.

Indianapolis Colts star quarterback Andrew Luck missed yet another practice on Monday due to a lingering calf injury. We’ve heard the Colts say Andrew Luck was fine before. It ended in disaster.

Even though the Miami Dolphins sent a second-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for Josh Rosen, they seem to have no interest in playing the former No. 10 overall pick. Nobody expects the Miami Dolphins to succeed in 2019. They have a first-year NFL head coach in Brian Flores, a limited number of assets on
Trading Andrus Peat makes sense for the New Orleans Saints as well as for a number of teams who could use a proven guard even for a single season. Free agency is largely over. The NFL Draft has come and gone. Even the Supplemental Draft is in the rearview mirror, yet there are still several
It’s been 50 years since the New York Jets won a Super Bowl, but there are plenty of reasons for optimism that 2019 could be the year Gang Green’s title drought comes to an end. If you have a chance to have a meaningful conversation with a lifelong fan of the New York Jets, they

Bill Belichick and company are in position to repeat as NFL champions. How can the New England Patriots capture Super Bowl LIV in South Florida? Considering the franchise has been to half of the last 18 Super Bowls, perhaps it would be a better idea if one of the other 31 teams in the league
Training camps open this month. Teams have spent the offseason retooling their rosters. So how do all 32 NFL offense stack up from No. 32 to number one?

The Green Bay Packers are coming off of their worst season since 2008, and after record expenditures, there is no latency period allowed. They must have a deep playoff run in 2019. In the Aaron Rodgers era, the Green Bay Packers have appeared in just one Super Bowl. Let that sink in. The Packers have
The NFL offseason is just about over as teams head to training camp this week. That means it’s time to think about our best bets, including which teams we think will fall short of their wins total. Every year, it’s always fun to ride the bandwagon of a new team thanks to a bet. Before
Adding weekly bonuses and season-long bonuses will make your fantasy leagues more competitive and fun for both experienced and novice players.

Jerry Jones clearly wants Jason Garrett to succeed as the Cowboys head coach, but how many wins does the Princeton graduate need in 2019 to keep his job?

The Detroit Lions will be without their prized free agent for the start of training camp. The Lions have placed him on the PUP list to start. Trey Flowers cashed in big this offseason when he signed a five-year, $90 million deal with the Detroit Lions. Never an All-Pro or even a Pro Bowler for
