He averaged over 81 yards during the Raiders’ current three-game win streak, and now he and the rest of the team are hosting the Chargers in a win-and-your-in final regular-season game. If the […]
It has the potential to be two very good weeks for the Los Angeles Chargers. In Week 17 they not only kept their playoff hopes alive with a win, but their 34-13 victory over the rival Denver Broncos also eliminated the Broncos from the playoffs and ensured that Denver would finish in last place.

NFL Week 17 odds are of course being impacted by injury news, but also once again by COVID. However, on Tuesday, the league put in place new protocols, reducing isolation time from 10 days to five days for all asymptomatic players — even those who are unvaccinated. That policy likely will allow Indianapolis Colts quarterback […]

The reason that win streak isn’t longer is because of the Minnesota Vikings and their 34-31 win over Green Bay on November 21. That game was in the dome in Minneapolis, and this meeting is at Lambeau Field, adding the […]

The logic there is that if what draws you to a pass-catcher is volume, then perhaps you should just bet on his catches instead of his total yards. I always found it frustrating when I bet a receiver’s […]
Both the Browns and Steelers saw their playoff chances take a hit last week. The Browns dropped a close one to the Packers, and the Steelers were a total no-show against the Chiefs.
