We were treated to both good and bad surprises this week. Vegas moved to a surprising 3-0 after their thrilling win over NO (thanks to the return of TE Brock Bowers). The Rams and Broncos provided an SNF classic that could double as a Super Bowl preview. However, many teams suffered tough injuries. Miami RB…
I’ll be keeping track of the various NFL trades that occur throughout 2026 on this page (most recent first). For every trade, I will list the assets each team received, analyze the trade, and provide trade grades for each team. Unless a specific trade is really notable, I’ll only be grading trades involving players, not…
As we move forward this season, there will be a lot of focus on the Big Ten and SEC. Thanks to recent conference realignment moves, those two leagues are basically super-conferences at this point. I’ll do my best to squeeze in the ACC, Big XII, and Group of 6 whenever I can, but sometimes you…
On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2026 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
Week 2 brought us plenty of good and bad. On the good side, Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is still a monster regardless of who plays QB. He caught 3 TDs in a one-man show. Cleveland and Green Bay earned their first wins in a very long time, giving those fanbases something to cheer! On the…
The word of the week was most definitely “drama”. After a couple of slates filled with noncompetitive games, week 3 gave us far more even matchups to enjoy. (10) Alabama and (12) USC both survived scares from unranked opponents. (25) Virginia wasn’t so lucky, as they lost to West Virginia in the Duke Mayo Classic…
Week 1 always excites, which is why I need to provide an immediate disclaimer: please don’t overreact. You’ll see shock results and major conclusions drawn with the smallest of sample sizes. Unless they confirm what you already knew, they could be mirages. Carolina scored 37 points, only to cede 59 to Chicago. Cincinnati’s defense forced…
For the second straight week, most of the FBS went up against foes that were far beneath them. Fortunately, we also had more exciting matchups. In our lone conference game in the ACC, California DB Kingston Lopa picked off THREE passes (one pick six) to beat Syracuse nearly on his own. Upset-minded Oregon State nearly…
The NCAA football season has finally arrived. Hopefully we can set all the off-field drama aside and play some football! Most teams played cupcakes, so we saw some seriously gaudy stats. Miami WR Malachi Toney (11/229/3) shattered Hurricanes records. Pittsburgh QB Mason Heintschel threw SEVEN touchdown passes. In one actual matchup, (11) LSU (Tigers from…
The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The Patriots and Seahawks kick off the 2026 season on Wednesday in a much-anticipated matchup, but first, I thought I’d look at where the various teams stand on opening week. After all, we’ve now seen these teams in the preseason. Please don’t be mad if your…
