Best Bets: Fading the Bears Defense Prop Bets
Photo by Cooper Neill/ When betting the spread isn’t enough Sometimes, you bet on your team to win, particularly when you see an advantageous matchup that the national media might not be picking up on quite yet. Other times, well, you know that your team is a dumpster fire, and you’ve seen this movie before, so why not just put some extra coin in your pocket? In Week 2, I suggested betting both the Mike Evans and Chris Godwin receiving yardage totals. In Week 4, with Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson expected to miss the game, I’m suggesting you grab both Jerry...

Sean Payton shares a lesson learned from Hall-of-Fame mentor
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports Ahead of week 4, Sean Payton shares what Bill Parcells taught him about approaching wins and losses. The Denver Broncos will travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears this weekend with the hope of securing their first win. Starting 0-4 is not what anyone wants, but it’s an especially terrifying thought when you’ve just suffered an embarrassing, historic loss at the top of the season. When head coach Sean Payton discussed the upcoming game, members of the media made a point to ask him about his reaction to Chicago Bears head...

Random Ramsdom: Ahkello Witherspoon talks what it will take for LA to beat Colts
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 9/30/23 The Los Angeles Rams added Ahkello Witherspoon in the offseason and it seemed like a solid move. So far I think he’s been better than solid and he may be taking a leadership role for this squad. It’s exciting to see how this defense has performed so far and hopefully they can continue to get better. Ahkello had some ideas for how the Rams may want to play Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. What have you thought about Witherspoon and the defense so far? Please comment on...

Jaguars film room: How Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley can regain their chemistry
Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Unio / USA TODAY NETWORK Jacksonville Jaguars will look to get the passing game going against the Falcons in London, and it starts with Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley On Sundays in the fall, after positioning ourselves on the couch for a full day of football, it can be easy to overlook how NFL players make the game look easy. So when things start to go wrong, it leaves fans scratching their heads. One such quandary is the Jacksonville Jaguars passing attack. All summer long, and throughout the preseason into Week 1, the offense was firing...

Steve Young described why Brock Purdy was drafted late
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Maybe the NFL needs to reassess this? Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young has been a big Brock Purdy fan. For the last few weeks, and even months going back to the 2022 season, Young has heaped loads of praise on Purdy; what he does well, what he will need to improve and what he’ll never improve. To Young, Brock Purdy has “The Force.” In his latest KNBR appearance, Young brought some more insight to Purdy’s success, but most notably why he slipped so far in the 2022 NFL Draft. Sure, we have had...

Falcons need improved line play if they want to evaluate Desmond Ridder
Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports Ridder has made plenty of mistakes, but those should decrease with better protection. The Atlanta Falcons offensive line needs to improve when it faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 4 matchup across the pond in London on Sunday. Otherwise, the team won’t be able to get a clearer evaluation of second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder in a pivotal season. The Falcons gave up seven sacks to the Detroit Lions in last week’s loss, a troubling stat given that the Lions only had one sack in their first two games combined. It marked the...

Video: Lions’ WR Amon-Ra St. Brown blows kiss at salty Packers fan
Zach Harig (@zach_harig) As Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was celebrating with fans, he blew a kiss at a Packers fan. For younger players like Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, leaving historic Lambeau Field as a victor has to feel like the norm at this point. After all, it wasn’t that long ago when the Lions were here in Week 18 of the 2022 season. In their Week 4 pummeling of the Green Bay Packers, Lions fans showed up in droves, flooding what is normally a sea of green and yellow with patches of Honolulu Blue. “Let's go Lions”...

Big Blue View mailbag: Offensive line, Wink Martindale, more
The mail’s here! At 1-2, the New York Giants have raised more questions than they have answered thus far in the 2023-24 NFL season. Let’s open the Big Blue View Mailbag and try to answer some of them. John Brenner asks: Enjoyed your critique of the offense in Monday’s article, but you threw out some vagaries with regard to potential solutions. If you’d be willing to be more specific, would you give us your starting five O-line, your starting 3 WR’s, and elaborate on why you think those players could be the winning formula? Also anything specific the coaches must do as...

Commanders fans shaken by bad loss to Bills and pessimistic about Sunday’s upcoming trip to Philly
Photo by Scott Taetsch/ Survey results!! Taking the temperature of the fans The confidence of NFL fans is highly fickle, and is heavily influenced by the most recent game result. Here at Hogs Haven, we have “taken the temperature” of the fan base with a confidence survey after every game of the season. After beating the Cardinals in Week 1, it was surprising that confidence fell slightly from the preseason ‘benchmark’ confidence poll; however, it seemed that fan confidence was dented by the manner in which the Commanders secured the win — a come-from-behind...

New York Jets Flight Connections 09/30/23
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets are getting ready to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. With the Jets being helmed by Zach Wilson, the outcome of this game seems virtually preordained. A future Hall of Fame quarterback in his prime on the Chiefs facing arguably the worst starting quarterback in the NFL under center for the Jets, it just doesn’t seem fair. But whoever said life was fair? For the Jets to have any chance in...

Saturday open thread: How many divisional wins will the Lions finish with this year?
Mark Hoffman-USA TODAY Sports The Lions are alone in first place in the NFC North right now and have won six of their last seven divisional matchups. The Detroit Lions started off their NFC North tour with a comfortable road victory over the Green Bay Packers, pushing their win streak over the division rival to four in a row. Plenty of Lions fans showed up to witness their team take control of first place in the division, and they made Lambeau Field look like a home game for the Lions. Dating back to last year, the Lions have dominated their NFC North adversaries and...

Column: As Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles works to solve many issues, keep the QB situation with Justin Fields in the proper context
It's fair to assess moves Ryan Poles has made as Chicago Bears GM, but context is required when viewing his performance and the play of quarterback Justin Fields.
