Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals Week 1 NFL Pick
Seattle Seahawks (0-0) Arizona Cardinals (0-0) Buy tickets for this game I really like to bet against rookie quarterbacks week 1. They tend to, predictably, struggle in their first NFL action. Since 1994, rookie quarterbacks have completed 55% of their passes, averaged 6 yards YPA, and thrown twice as many…

Carolina Panthers (0-0) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0) Buy tickets for this game Tampa Bay is one of my underrated teams. In case you haven’t been following throughout the offseason, what I attempted to do this year was identify 5 underrated and 5 overrated teams going into the season and…

San Francisco 49ers (0-0) at Green Bay Packers (0-0) Buy tickets for this game Anyone who has been following the website during the offseason knows I’m not particularly optimistic about the 2012 49ers. I have them as my team that goes from 1st round bye to out of the playoffs…

Dallas Cowboys (0-0) at New York Giants (0-0) Buy tickets for this game I might be the biggest Giants doubter left out there. I believe that this is not an elite team, but a very good team that can get hot and play like an elite team for stretches. They…

Quarterbacks Michael Vick was obviously on the team, so was 3rd round pick Nick Foles, even if he hadn’t stepped up in Mike Kafka’s absence and nailed down the #2 quarterback job, despite the team viewing him as a developmental 3rd quarterback at the start of the offseason. Kafka went…

Quarterbacks At quarterback, starter Ryan Fitzpatrick was obviously a lock, as was backup Tarvaris Jackson, who they just traded for. Jackson’s 2012 salary became guaranteed when they asked him to take a paycut, so they weren’t cutting him less than a week after trading for him. Brad Smith, their wildcat…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins Final Roster Analysis
Quarterbacks Possibly the most surprising developmental of the Dolphins’ final cuts was that they kept 4 quarterbacks. Not only does that almost never happen, the Dolphins were assumed to be keeping 2, Ryan Tannehill and either Matt Moore or David Garrard as a veteran backup. If they kept 3, it…

Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow were the obvious locks. Sanchez will begin the season as the starter and Tebow will serve in a more limited kind of swiss army knife role, but Tebow could eventually get the starting job this season. Because of how shaky both looked in the…
