An eventful Week 1 of the NFL regular season has already made it clear that some teams need to be patient, but other teams might be on the verge of hitting the panic button. Obviously, the season won't be decided in Week 2. However, Michael Strahan, Charles Woodson and Julian Edelman picked which three teams need to win in Week 2 in order to avoid hitting the panic button. Here's […]

The Minnesota Vikings will not be having another quarterback controversy. With Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray suffering a concussion in Week 1, his return to the field remains in question. Adding to the intrigue, backup Carson Wentz stepped up big, throwing three touchdowns and leading a fourth-quarter comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers. During "FOX NFL Kickoff," insider Jay Glazer shared an update on Murray's status. Although the QB is […]

The smile on Aaron Donald's face said it all, well before he verbalized his expectation that he will play for the Los Angeles Rams in their home opener against the New York Giants on Monday night. "That is the plan," Donald said Friday. "I think that's all of our plan. We can have a conversation, we'll figure it out, but I'm feeling really good." A three-time AP Defensive Player of […]

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has a new home, but injury is going to take a toll on his chances of repeating. Garrett won the AP NFL DPOY award unanimously in 2025, receiving all 50 first-place votes after breaking the single-season sack record with 23 sacks. That was the second DPOY win of his career, and he trails only Lawrence Taylor, J.J. Watt and Aaron Donald for the […]

After the Bears and Panthers combined to score 96 points last Sunday, you can imagine how popular these Bears "Overs" will be. Go figure — I saw a Friday morning post from BetMGM’s John Ewing saying 87% of bettors have "Over" in Bears-Vikings. Eight-y-seven-per-cent. With that, naturally, every bone in my body wants to go "Under." We know you’re here for informed wagers and I assure you I vet everything […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have owned the NFC South for most of the decade. In 2020, they won the Super Bowl, followed by four straight years of division titles from 2021 to 2024. Last year, it appeared that they were on their way to a fifth straight NFC South crown, as they were comfortably in first place at 6-2. However, the injuries began to pile up. Quarterback Baker Mayfield hurt […]

New Orleans quarterback Tyler Shough has the respect of the defensive coordinator of the Saints' Week 2 opponent. Baltimore Ravens DC Anthony Weaver detailed how the second-year signal-caller "reminds" him of "a poor man's Josh Allen" — in a positive way. "[Shough] has all the arm talent in the world [and] can run. I don’t think he gets enough credit for how good [of] an athlete he is," Weaver said […]

The Buffalo Bills' offense ran roughshod on the Detroit Lions' defense on Thursday night, and it had an immediate impact on Detroit's stars. "They got after us today, for sure. That was not good enough. Things will definitely be changing," Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson said in a press conference following the team's 41-31 loss to the Bills. "I don't know what that is necessarily, but I know there […]

Are the Chicago Bears that good? Full disclosure, I had a bet on Carolina +3 last Sunday, and if you would’ve told me the Panthers would average 7.7 yards per play and score 37 points, odds were good they would have covered or won the game outright. Problem is, Chicago scored 59. FOX Sports posted its weekly power ratings on Monday morning and the Bears were on line three, behind […]
