The draft is less than 24 hours away and many things have changed since my last mock draft. This will also include the second round which should be very interesting this year as team’s now can think about potential trades overnight. Regardless of what happens, it is going to be a very exciting weekend for football fans everywhere.1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma: The Rams are in a

Last year’s wide receiver class was a very strong group that had many players who look like they will make an impact for years to come. Michael Crabtree held out into the regular season but it looks like he will breakout in his second year. Jeremy Maclin showed his big play ability and is another weapon for Kevin Kolb to throw to. Hakeem Nicks looks like the number one receiver the Giants have

Last year’s running back class didn’t have as many impact players compared to recent draft’s but there were plenty of contributors. Knowshon Moreno and Chris Wells both showed flashes in their rookie year and both should see more of an impact on offense in their second year. LeSean McCoy and Shonn Greene didn’t see as much regular season duty but will play huge roles for...

Last year’s draft class at quarterback didn’t have much depth, but the three who were selected in the first round all showed promise. Matthew Stafford like any first overall pick had a rookie year filled with up’s and downs and ended the year on injured reserve. He should only get better from here with a year under his belt. Mark Sanchez reached the playoffs in his first year...

Through the Jaguars, my dad and I were fortunate enough to win a contest where we got to attend the Pro Bowl after explaining in 100 words why we deserved to attend. The trip included hotel accommodations, tickets to the game and a meet and greet with Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew who was there for his first ever Pro Bowl selection. This along with a part one that has already been

Last week was another indication that anything can happen once the playoffs begin. In a season where parity seemed to disappear, every team that was considered an underdog going in and other then the Packers Cardinals game they weren't even close. It was a rough week for me as well and hopefully the games and my predictions are better this week.Last week: 1-3Playoffs: 1-3Last...

The last week of the fantasy football season is upon us and if your team is fortunate enough to have a shot at winning the title, continue what has brought your team to this point and when it comes to positions where you aren't as certain play the matchups.QB: Josh Freeman vs Saints: Freeman was very solid last week and while he isn't worth starting as a number one quarterback...

Early on in the season, this seemed like a game without much at stake. After an 0-6 start, it seemed like the Titans were destined for a top pick in this year's draft. But with Vince Young at quarterback and a heavy dose of the electrifying Chris Johnson, the team has now won seven of it's last eight to be in the thick of the playoff race. While the single season rushing...

For most fantasy players, this is one of if not the biggest week of the year. This is either the week of the league championship game or when the matchup will be determined. It all comes down to this, so it is key that you search the waiver wire and try and find as many favorable matchups as possible.QB: Jason Campbell vs Giants: For all the negative press you hear about Campbell, it's hard to

While the Colts have already clinched everything possible in the AFC, the season is on the line for the Jaguars. Even though the Jaguars control their own destiny as the final wildcard in the AFC, it's up for debate if the team is as good as their record indicates. Even though they are a very young team, wins against the Chiefs, Rams and Bills all came down to the last minute...

Last week was another solid one for my fantasy studs as Alex Smith, Matt Forte, Jeremy Maclin and Shayne Graham all had solid weeks. In many leagues, this is the first week of playoff games. While some leagues start the playoffs next week, starting it now would make more sense as you would have the chance to get points out of your key players who's teams have already clinched...

Tonight one player will reach college football immortality as the winner of the Heisman Trophy is announced. While I usually don’t write about college football, this is one of the closest Heisman calls in recent memory as there is no clear cut favorite to win this year’s award. However, with 145 votes in each of the six regions in the country, all of the first place votes are...

Due to injuries to key players, they have lost their last four to bring them to 6-6 and on the outside looking in at a wildcard berth. The good news for the Steelers is that they play the Browns who with a 1-11 record are

Last week was a very good one for my fantasy studs as everyone was productive. This is the most important week of the year for many fantasy owners as their team is either competing for a playoff spot or the playoffs have already started. More than any other week, this is the time where you need to check the injury reports and waiver wire for favorable matchups.QB: Alex Smith vs Seahawks: Smith

Once again, I will only be posting my Thursday night prediction but make sure to check back for my other predictions over the course of the week.The Jets were the talk of the league the first few weeks of the season but earth and are now in a situation where another loss could put them out of playoff contention. While they only have four wins, the Bills have shown some hope the past few weeks and

Usually, I am attending all of the Jacksonville Jaguars home games as a fan. This time I was there under different circumstances. Once again, through the Sportz Ventures program I had another experience that I will never forget. Along with five other students from my school, I had the chance to watch the Jaguars play the Buffalo Bills from the press box at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.Before

I have had some bad weeks when predicting my fantasy studs but this past one could have been the worst. Other then Bernard Scott, none of the players would have been worth over seven in a standard scoring league. Since six teams are playing on Thanksgiving, I am deciding to post my fantasy studs now. After last week, my predictions can go nowhere but up.QB: Alex Smith vs Jaguars: Coming into the

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as it features everything you could ask for: family, food and football. While the games this year don't look all that great on paper, one of football's greatest traditions will still carry on. Here are my picks for the three Thanksgiving games and I hope everyone has a great holiday.Packers 35 Lions 17Raiders 14 Cowboys 23Giants 26 Broncos 17

Last week was not a great one for my fantasy studs. While the Titans defense was fantastic and Chad Henne had a solid day, the three rookies I selected had little impact on their games and my selection at kicker, Steven Hauschka, was cut this week. The fantasy playoffs are approaching so it is more important then ever to search the waiver wire and pay attention to key injuries.QB: Matt Hasselbeck

Like last week, I will only be posting my prediction for the Thursday night game in this post but stay tuned the rest of the week. Along with my weekly and fantasy predictions, there will be a surprise post you won't want to miss.Both the Dolphins and Panthers are very similar teams. They are both getting hot at the right time and rely heavily on the running game. However, the...

While I usually pick all the games at once, due to the first Thursday night game I will just be posting my prediction for this game. Look later in the week for my other predictions and my fantasy studs.The Bears defense has really struggled lately and with a west coast trip on a short week, I don't like their chances against Alex Smith and the 49ers improving passing game alongside Frank Gore

Out of any team in the league, the Cardinals could be the hardest to figure out. After losing by 13 points at home to the Panthers, they come out and beat the Bears by 20 on the road. Even with this inconsistent play at 5-3 the Cardinals should be looking at another division title as nobody else in the division is above .500. Much to the dismay of defenses around the league, Michael Turner is

After seven weeks, a record three undefeated teams are still left standing. Many of the games this past week were blowouts. Two games however could apply to some of what was said in the Denny Green rant that occurred over four years ago. Here are my week seven extra points. The Giants aren't who we thought they were: While their 5-2 record is impressive, the Cowboys are the only team they have
