The Jacksonville Jaguars somehow managed to win five games in 2011 with one of the worst offenses in the the NFL. Head coach Jack Del Rio was fired midseason and the team has since replaced him with Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey. Things don’t appear to be getting any better any time soon and it might not be long before the franchise packs their bags for Los Angeles. It’s hard enough to get people to come to games in Jacksonville, but it’s nearly impossible...

Peyton Manning, arguably the best quarterback in NFL history, was forced to miss the entire season. As a result, Indianapolis didn’t win a single game until week 15 and wound up finishing the year 2-14. The only good thing that came out of the Colts horrid season was it landed them the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL draft, but even that could be considered a bad thing by some. By earning the No. 1 pick, the Colts had to make a decision...

This contest will air on TNT at 10:30 EST Thursday in the second game of a double-header. While Golden State has little to play for, they can still play the role of spoiler by knocking off the defending champs. The Warriors won the only meeting this season with a 111-87 home victory on March 10th. Taking a look at the NBA odds for this contest, I find a...

It also marked the first time the Texans made the playoffs in franchise history. Unfortunately the Texans were forced to try an win a Super Bowl without starting quarterback Matt Schaub and their best defensive player in Mario Williams, who were both lost to season ending injuries. Schaub will be back at the helm in 2012, but Williams...

Miami has replaced head coach Tony Sparano with Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, but this team is headed nowhere until owner Stephen Ross stops worrying so much about the entertainment aspect of the NFL and focus more on putting together a team that can contend for a division title. Right now there are...

The Chargers finished tied with the Broncos and Raiders at 8-8 on top the division, but a tie breaker launched the Broncos into first place. San Diego had won four straight division titles from 2006-09, but were never able to make anything of it. Norv Turner remains the head coach despite his inability to get the best out of this team. While they no longer are the front-runners in the West, San Diego still has enough weapons on...

The Jets poor play on the field is just the start of things. Santonio Holmes basically quit on the team and there have been leaks of players bashing starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. If it wasn’t already hard enough to figure out the identity of this team, the organization went out and traded for Tim Tebow. The addition of Tebow has created a major quarterback...

There were talks that the Bills were on their way to their first postseason appearance since 1999. Buffalo would end up losing their next seven games and ended up finishing the year with a 6-10 record. A huge part of their struggles in the second half were a result of injuries. There is reason to believe the Bills will be able to finally break through in 2012. Buffalo landed prize...

It appeared as though Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were on their way to winning their fourth Lombardi trophy, but Brady and the Patriots offense came up short when it mattered most. New England has glaring holes to fill all over the defensive side of the ball, but so far this offseason their biggest addition has been wide out Brandon...

The season will forever be remembered as the year the organization lost long-time owner Al Davis. Oakland is counting on Carson Palmer, who they acquired in a trade mid-season, to get this team back in the postseason. The team will have to adjust their ways to new head coach Dennis Allen, after the franchise decided to not bring back Hue Jackson. Here’s...

The slow start all but forced the Broncos to replace starting quarterback Kyle Orton with fan-favorite Tim Tebow. In one of the most entertaining runs in NFL history, Tebow led the Broncos to the AFC West title and a first round playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Denver would to the New England Patriots the following round, in what would end up being Tebow’s final...
