Stephon Gilmore vs Robert Woods It is possible that Gilmore is assigned Brandin Cooks. But factoring in size and speed, it makes sense for Gilmore to cover Woods. Gilmore is 6′ 1”, 190 pounds and Woods is 6’0”, 194 pounds. Gilmore was very good against Sammy Watkins and shut down Travis Kelce in the fourth quarter on Sunday. Belichick always mixes up matchups when things are going wrong, so it is possible that Gilmore switches his assignment. Woods has been the best all-around receiver on the Rams this season, and Gilmore has arguably been the best corner in football all…

The Los Angeles Chargers will come into Foxboro on Sunday to take on the Patriots, after the Chargers dominated the Ravens on Saturday. The final score was 23-17, but that was because of a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns by the Ravens; the result of the game was never in doubt. Patriots Offense vs. Chargers Defense Melvin Ingram, Joey Bosa and Derwin James will be problems for the Patriots offense on Sunday. Ingram was the best player for Los Angeles on Saturday, as he was all over the field stopping the Ravens rushing attack. Joey Bosa was not as active…

With only three games to go in the regular season, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape. The Chiefs, Saints and Rams have punched their tickets to the playoffs. Some teams will get in soon, some need some help, and some are already looking forward to the 2019 NFL Draft. Let’s take a look at how the NFL Playoff Picture is shaping up. AFC Outlook The Chiefs pulled off a comeback win over the Ravens to clinch a playoff spot. A win over the Chargers on Thursday night would basically lock them into the one seed in…
As the calendar turns to December, it starts to become clear who the legitimate Super Bowl contenders are. Every team has five games left, and no team still has a bye. Not one team is clearly locked into one spot, so it should make for some exciting finishes in the final month. The teams that are essentially eliminated from playoff contention are the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers Oakland Raiders. With this, let us take a look at the tight races down the…
On Sunday, the 7-2, AFC East-leading New England Patriots will take on the 4-4, second in the AFC South, Tennessee Titans. Titans Preview The Titans have an upper-tier defense, ranking eighth in yards per game and first in points per game. Former Patriot Mike Vrabel was hired to improve the defense, and he has done just that. Speaking of former Patriots, former Patriot corner Malcolm Butler has struggled in his first eight games as a Titan. He tries to jump routes, looks at the quarterback too much and can get beat down the sideline, especially by a taller receiver.…

David Price was pulled after just 1.2 innings in game two of the ALDS against the Yankees on Saturday. He allowed three hits, two of them home runs, and two walks. The bullpen did a decent job the rest of the game, but the Red Sox lost by the final score of 6-2. This is Nothing New David Price has struggled against the Yankees and in the playoffs– so a playoff start against the Yankees was a recipe for disaster. Since joining the Red Sox in 2016, Price has thrown 58.1 total innings against the Yankees. In those innings, he has a…
The Patriots are currently 1-2, thanks to losses against Jacksonville and Detroit. Here is why the Patriots are off to a rough start, by position. What to Feel Good About QB, OL, Safety Tom Brady is not falling off a cliff like many would like to believe. He just has no weapons. His throws have been accurate, but he is not getting any help. The offensive line has gotten protection for Brady and is top ten in the league when healthy. The only concern is the health of Marcus Cannon, because LaAdrian Waddle is not good enough to be…
Days Until Football is a series in which I preview every NFL team, one a day at a time until the NFL season starts on September 6th. It will preview offense, defense, and give a prediction for the team’s record. Also, I will list a fantasy star and sleeper. Here is the Washington Redskins preview. Last year, the Redskins were a letdown. Kirk Cousins was good, but he did not have much around him. The Redskins finished 7-9, third in the NFC East. Over the offseason, Alex Smith was traded brought in after Kirk Cousins signed with Minnesota. Redskins…
