Who is the early leader in the NFC East in 2025?
Last year at about this time, I posted my way-too-early, pre-draft prediction post for the NFC East. As I did last year, I will mention that there are still a lot of variables in play that can, and will, change these predictions. We have the rest of free agency, contract negotiations, and the draft in three …

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most iconic and storied franchises in NFL history, but despite their immense popularity and historical success, they are currently mired in a 29-year drought without a Super Bowl appearance.

A few wild card surprises this week
It was a tale of two conferences in the wild card round this past weekend. Especially when it came to my picks. In the AFC the three division-winning home teams cruised to relatively easy wins.

Cowboys looking for a successful finale
When the schedule makers put together the 2024 schedule, they no doubt hoped the Cowboys-Commanders game would have meaning. For Dallas today’s game means absolutely nothing. At best, they are playing to avoid the franchise’s 13th double-digit losing season in 65 years. Nine of the previous 12 have come during Jerry Jones’ 36-year ownership of the …
