If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 13

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It’s just a month until the playoffs start, and the tension isn’t letting up. Houston is still winning despite being down to their third quarterback. New England is still having trouble playing 60 minutes. Even Green Bay is winning close games now. Both wildcard races are still very heated. And let’s not forget that it’s [...]

Just over a month remains in the season, and plenty of teams are still fighting for position. The Colts are definitely getting Andrew Luck, but the wild cards and many divisions (as well as most of the byes) are still very much within reach. All of a sudden, San Francisco’s first round bye isn’t so [...]

Coming up on Thanksgiving, the Lions will actually have a meaningful game. Both conferences are still in heated races for seeding, with the AFC turning upside down week by week. The Packers and 49ers are still the best of the best, but other teams are on the rise, too. Much has been made lately of [...]

With just seven weeks to go, and several divisions are still very much up for grabs. For that matter, the whole AFC is on the line, with going from #1 to #6 in a week becoming rather likely lately. The Packers are still the team to beat, but with San Francisco, Pittsburgh and even Houston [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

The NFL season is entering its latter half, and the race is just as exciting as ever. Two divisions have a three-way tie for the lead, and another has the third team half a game back. Both conferences have a division with three teams currently in the playoff bracket; a division has only finished that [...]

The season’s about half-way over, and we’ve got a few serious contenders, a few who are losing for Luck, and a good portion still fighting within their division for position. This past week has given us a new AFC leader, confirmed enthusiasm for San Francisco and given us a reason to be bearish about New [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 7

By ⋅ October 25, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Seven weeks into the season, some of the ties are just starting to break up. Others remain, but every division has a definitive leader, if only half a game. Cincinnati has come roaring back, while Detroit is on a losing streak all of a sudden. New Orleans is back on top of the NFC South, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 6

By ⋅ October 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With the sixth week done, we saw plenty of shakeups. Buffalo and Detroit dropped their games, while the Bucs, Giants and Patriots all took over their divisions. The Eagles stopped their slide, while the Rams, Colts and Dolphins are the remaining winless teams. Only the Packers remain perfect. At this stage, only the 49ers have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 5

By ⋅ October 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With another week done in the NFL, and teams starting to have byes, many teams are still fighting to take control of their divisions and conferences. The Lions and Packers remain unbeaten, while the Rams, Colts and Dolphins remain winless. At this stage, only San Francisco has a multiple-game lead in their division; three other [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 4

By ⋅ October 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re already through a quarter of the NFL season, and we’ve already seen a lot of surprises. Some people though Detroit would be good, but I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-0 good. Buffalo finally knocked off New England. Philadelphia has been quite lackluster. Tampa’s holding their own in the ultra competitive NFC South. [...]

By ⋅ February 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

2011 NFL Playoffs Expert Picks: Super Bowl

By ⋅ February 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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. [...]

By ⋅ January 31, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

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 [...]

With the Super Bowl coming up in a week, it’s time for the annual Pro Bowl, in sunny Hawaii. A belated Mele Kalikimaka to you all. With so many stars on each side, the expected result of a 50/50 split of predictions between the AFC and NFC winning has been realized. But through all that [...]

By ⋅ January 23, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

The Super Bowl is set. It’s the #6 Packers vs the #2 Steelers. Two very talented quarterbacks lead just as talented teams. Riddled with injuries, the Packers are still the team to beat in many circles. Pittsburgh, though, held off a furious comeback attempt by a team that knocked off Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. [...]
