A heartbreaking loss for New England; another well-fought victory for New York. New York won again behind a season eerily similar to four years ago. Tom Coughlin continues to expand his record for most times being fired without actually being fired, and now has another Super Bowl to his credit. And the AFC finally won [...]
The Super Bowl is finally here, and once again, it’s New England vs. New York (if you include the other side of the New Jersey border). The SoB (in red)/SoNY (in green) rivalry is continuing in full swing as well, with the Pats getting the majority of picks to win their fourth ring. (True, most [...]
The Pro Bowl is now over, and everyone was caught by surprise. The star-studded NFC lineup fell behind a very potent AFC assault, led by surprise MVP Brandon Marshall, who snagged a Pro Bowl record four touchdown catches. In fact, nobody in our panel earned any points from the winner, TD total or MVP categories. [...]
The Pro Bowl is here, which mean’s it’s now officially Super Bowl week! Not that many people care about the Pro Bowl right now, but a lot of great players are in it, especially with teams like Green Bay and New Orleans getting booted early. All that talent, especially that from the NFC, is what [...]
The Super Bowl is now set. It’s a rematch of four years ago in the Patriots and Giants. Only this time, the Patriots don’t have the pressure of remaining unbeaten, and they have a grudge against the Giants for winning in New England. Will that lead to a different result? We’ll see in two weeks. [...]
It’s finally time for the Conference Championships. After several disappointing years, can the Patriots finally make it back to the Super Bowl? Will they get revenge from four years ago? Will a Harbaugh be guaranteed a title? What will happen is what we are all here to predict for you. Here at SoB (in red) [...]
The Divisional Round is now complete, and there was finally a road win. And were down to just the final four. Next Sunday, it’ll be Patriots/Ravens and 49ers/Giants for the right to play for the Lombardi Trophy. After the previous round, we’re sure to see plenty of action. The Saints threw plenty of people for [...]
It almost time for the Divisional round of the playoffs to begin, and there are some pretty interesting story lines going. Can Houston beat Baltimore for the first time ever? Can New England still win in the postseason? And can Green Bay’s run be stopped? Here at SoB (in red) and SoNY (in green), we’ve [...]
The first round is now complete, and it was filled with surprises. Denver pulled off the improbable win against Pittsburgh, Cincinnati bit the dust and Atlanta still hasn’t won a playoff game in the Matt Ryan era, this time managing just a measly safety. That threw a monkey wrench into the plans of some of [...]
It’s playoff time in the NFL, and it’ll all start out with the first ever playoff meeting between rookie quarterbacks, when Andy Dalton leads the Bengals against T.J. Yates and the Texans, followed by what should be a shootout between the Lions and Saints. Sunday will cap off the first round with the Falcons/Giants and [...]
It was a wild and exciting season, and the playoffs are now upon us. San Francisco was a big surprise for most everyone. So was Indianapolis, for that matter, but for a different reason. Philadelphia’s “dream team” fell flat, while Baltimore finally got a division title under their belts, thanks to a sweep of arch [...]
After a lengthy lockout and a preseason that just zipped by, it’s time once more for the annual NFL Pick ‘Em. And for the first time in any pick ‘em ever, we have combatants from our sister blog Sports of New York joining our Sports of Boston regulars in predicting the outcome of the 2011-2012 [...]
Well, that was an exciting game, wasn’t it? The NFC has now won 14 coin tosses in a row (1/16,384, .0061% chance). And between a match-up of two incredibly similar teams, the Green Bay Packers’ dynamic play, coupled with three Pittsburgh turnovers, was enough to eke out a six-point victory, 31-25. Congratulations to Aaron Rodgers [...]
Super Bowl Sunday is here at last, and though the Patriots aren’t in it, we here at SoB are pretty much all in agreement that Green Bay will bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the home of Vince Lombardi. There’s not much disagreement, but with double the points on all categories, anyone can still win. [...]
The Pro Bowl is over, and it certainly didn’t start well for the Hoodie’s crew, as the NFC quickly jumped out to a 42-0 lead. At least he got to coach Matt Cassel again. Each of the AFC’s quarterbacks was picked at least once, contributing to six turnovers on the day. While we thought there [...]
