The Dolphins Would Be Crazy To Even Consider Trading Tua

The Dolphins Would Be Crazy To Even Consider Trading Tua

The Miami Dolphins have been tagged as the team that would make the most sense to try to pry Deshaun Watson away from the Houston Texans. Considering they have a bunch of draft picks and a young franchise quarterback it makes sense that they have the best to offer. If I were inside the Dolphins front office however, I would have one thing in mind: Let’s keep Tua. The idea of having Deshaun…

Calvin Ridley Is Atlanta’s Most Important Player Heading Into 2021

For the past decade the Atlanta Falcons ran through two players: Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Well I hate to break it to Falcons fans but… Their times has passed. Technically they’re both superstars in their own rights, with Julio still regarded by many as the best receiver in the league (Although I’d rank him just outside my top 5 as of now) and Ryan still producing at an MVP level despite the…

Why The Wentz Trade Puts Indy Among The NFL’s Elite

The Indianapolis Colts have just acquired former Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in a trade that’ll only cost the team a 2021 third-round pick as well as a 2022 conditional second-round pick. Essentially they just got the former MVP candidate and Super Bowl champion for a bag of peanuts. Yes, Wentz had a terrible season last season but there is definitely reason for optimism in Indianapolis…

College Football’s Forgotten Star Has Something To Prove

Oklahoma State running back Chubba Hubbard entered the 2020 season with as much hype as any RB in the country. More than maybe Travis Etienne and Heisman finalist Najee Harris did even following his 2019 season where he dazzled the country with 2094 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground as a sophomore. The 2020 season was a total 180 from the year before as his numbers dipped to 625 yards and 5…

It’s Time For The NFL’s Most Underrated WR To Go Play With A Big Time QB

When you think of Allen Robinson II what comes to mind? Maybe it’s the 14 touchdown receptions he randomly had in his second year in the om to splash on the scene. Or maybe it’s the disappointment of knowing he probably could’ve been the catalyst for the 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars possibly beating the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game that season. Or maybe even an underwhelming…

How Each Team Can Win Super Bowl LV

Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is set to be a matchup for the ages. GOAT vs. Baby GOAT in what could end up being Tom Brady’s last game or possibly Patrick Mahomes’ official coming out party after beating Brady on the big stage. Which is more likely to happen? I’ll answer that below however what is also likely to happen is a high scoring Super Bowl that will…

Rodgers Is The Least Clutch Superstar In NFL History, No Ifs, Ands or Buts About It

0-42. That’s the record for Aaron Rodgers when his team trails by one or more points entering the 4th quarter against teams with at least a .500 record. As great a player as Rodgers is that’s incredible inept in terms of how clutch he is from the quarterback position. Now how come this hasn’t come up before? Maybe because fans have been enamored with him throwing Mahomes-like touchdowns for the…

The FCS is littered with a bunch of talent across every position from Quarterback all the way to kicker.

Exxedera’s FCS Pre-Season Top 25 Rankings

The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) is set to kick off their 2021 spring season in the upcoming weeks. 100 teams are set to play in the makeshift spring season as the FCS in a sense cancelled football in the 2020 fall season and instead shifted to the spring (A few schools played 4 game schedules in the fall and won’t play in the spring). Regardless of all of this, a ton of the FCS’s top…

SEC Bottom Feeders Look.... Horrible

SEC Bottom Feeders Look…. Horrible

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has long been the cream of the crop when it comes to conferences in the college football world. The conference once was winners of 7 straight national championships and it was so dominant then that one of the BCS national championships even ended up being an SEC vs. SEC matchup (Alabama vs. LSU, 2011). Even after the BCS faded away and fans got acquainted to the…

Exxedera’s FBS Top 25 - Week 10

Exxedera’s FBS Top 25 – Week 10

Another one bites the turf.

The #5 (formerly) Oklahoma Sooners just lost their first game of the season to the Kansas State Wildcats by a score of 48-41. The game highlighted OU’s biggest hinderance over the past few years: Defense. The Sooners defense has got to find a way to be able to make stops when needed if they ever want to get over the hump in the Lincoln Riley era.

Let’s see where they…

Chicago Can Only Go As High As Trubisky Takes Them The Chicago Bears are currently one of the NFL’s most streakiest teams. One day they’ll look like one of the NFL’s elite behind a defense that is sure to frighten opponents but then some nights they may give up 30+ points while scoring below 14 and analysts alike will all be wondering what happened to the good Bears out of the Windy City.
