Quick Hits: Roster Moves I’d Like To See

by

NFL players typically have a limited shelf life.  Either their age becomes a limitation or their salary does or both.  The 2016 Washington Redskins are no exception and there are some roster moves that simply make sense now as opposed to later.  One of those was made in the last twenty-four hours with the release … Read more

Mind Reading: A (Too Early) Guess At The 2016 Washington Redskins Final Roster

by

Yes, it’s early.  Too early.  The FNGs haven’t even been dragged through the week that is rookie camp yet.  Furthermore, anyone who witnessed the last two Washington Redskins drafts knows it’s impossible to read the mind of Scot McCloughan.  The first person who says they saw the Brandon Scherff pick last season or the Josh … Read more

Week 1: Top 4 Picks ATS

by

Well friends, here we are. You have waited almost nine full months for this Friday to come – the Friday before the first week of the season. Many of you will be spending the next 48 hours thinking about wagers for this week. After all, football and gambling go together like bacon and bacon.

With a full slate of 16 games, 15 if you take away the one that was played last night, there are plenty of meaty morsels for the Armchair Betting Warriors to sink his teeth into. But be forewarned, picking football winners in the first week of the NFL season is tough. You might have a better chance of winning money, playing mobile casino games at luckyadmiral.com.

Regardless, after looking through my options on NFL’s Game Center and narrowing the field considerably, I came up with what I think are the four most solid picks this week:

Great Super Bowl

by

As much as I hated the entire week leading up to the Super Bowl, the game itself was absolutely fantastic. It was… what the Super Bowl is supposed to be. A closely contested battle between what were quite obviously the league’s two best teams.

Let’s face it, the Seahawks blew it. There isn’t a coach / player / team alive that wouldn’t take the scenario that Seattle had. Down by just 4 points – less than a minute to go – but with the ball on the one yard line and with the game’s absolute best power back in your backfield. Marshawn Lynch can gain a yard on nearly any play, he is #BeastMode for a reason. That reason. The guy can run with 8 NFL players on his back. His leg drive is incredible.

So how on earth do you call a pass?

Deflate-Gate?

by

By now I am sure you have heard about the “deflate-gate” scandal that is buzzing through the news wires this morning. The New England Patriots are being investigated for using deflated footballs in the rain, in their dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

The only balls that got deflated were Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts’.

It was FORTY-FIVE-TO-SEVEN. Hello?

But surely enough, out come the Monday Morning soapbox stances from anyone with an opinion.

Ahem… here’s mine. 😉

What is the Fun ‘N Gun?

by

There are many ways to win football games – great special teams play setting up field position, or a strong defense making big plays coupled with a ball control offense. But let’s face it, when Dan tempted Steve Spurrier off of the Florida golf courses with $5M per year to coach the Redskins, it was … Read more
