The NFL announced the Week 18 slate on Sunday night after the 49ers beat the Bears, which means Seahawks vs. 49ers next week will be for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Week 18 will see the final two playoff spots decided. The AFC North champion will be crowned when the Steelers host the…
Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Fla.) – It has been a painfully direct free fall over the past two months for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and yet, somehow, a parachute could still deploy. Tampa Bay has lost seven of its last eight games, going from a 5-1 start that had it atop most NFL power…
Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.) — There have been way too many moments where the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense has just completely disappeared this season, sometimes at the worst possible times. Way too often they’ve inexplicably shut down, leaving their defense to bail them out. Maybe that’s a sign of trouble for the defending champs with…
The San Francisco 49ers remain in the hunt for the No. 1 seed after one of the games of the season in the NFL. The Niners escaped Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night with a highly entertaining 42-38 victory over the visiting Chicago Bears. With the victory, the 49ers improved to 12-4 on the year and…
Each week, we offer up the very best of the NFL on a given Sunday, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had. All year, we’ve picked one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end — OK, this sounds a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team. We’re also…

Now that we’re all blissfully overfed and overserved from the holidays, wearing sweatpants around the house all weekend, let’s make some bets. What a life. There is a College Football Playoff wager I have my eye on for this week. Remember, this isn’t the place for “locks” or five-team parlays. These are the games I…
Highmark Stadium (Orchard Park, N.Y.) — In a game that had all the makings of a Super Bowl preview, the Philadelphia Eagles showed they might be primed for another championship run. The defending champs got an outstanding performance from their surging defense and rode it to a nail-biting, 13-12 win over the Buffalo Bills. It wasn’t…
The Philadelphia Eagles stopped the Buffalo Bills’ two-point conversion to seal the victory in Week 17. <
The Jaguars continue to roll, even though there was some sweating in the process. Jacksonville took down Indianapolis 23-17 Sunday for its seventh straight victory. While it didn’t come with any implications for the AFC South, the Jaguars (12-4) managed to sweep the season series with the Colts (8-8). Indianapolis, which was eliminated from postseason…
