What-If Wednesday, Part 6: The Final Five

With the NFL season about halfway over with, now is the perfect time to analyze the best teams in the league. The two best in the league don’t need anything to make them contenders, so I am not going to give them anything. As of the Week 9 games, I think that the Chiefs and the Patriots remain the ...

Considering the Colts: Trap Game awaits Indy this week

Last time I checked, a win is a win and I’ll take it.  The Denver defense is not ranked 4th in the league for no good reason, and they gave the Colts offense fits all afternoon long. I expected the offensive line to be tested, but not to break down so often. It seemed as if Jacoby Brissett was uncomfortable ...

What-If Wednesday, Part 4: One Guy Away

Write October 27th down in the record books, the NFL finally got something right! This Sunday’s prime time was great, even without Patrick Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers had one of the best throws I have ever seen, but that’s not what we are here to talk about; buckle up and get ready for What-If Wednesday ...

Considering the Colts: Why is Indy being disrespected?

The Colts were able to score another big win last Sunday, extending their winning streak to two games. Indianapolis now controls their own destiny in the division after the win against Houston put them in first place. But why do organizations like ESPN still disrespect the Colts and their 4-2 record? In ...

Considering the Colts: A win could determine the division

The Colts are coming off a bye this week to face a tough Houston Texans team that beat the Chiefs last Sunday. This is the first meeting between these two teams this season, but this matchup could determine who goes on to win the AFC South division. Both teams scored big wins in their last games and ...

What-If Wednesday: Mending Mediocrity, Part 2

After a slew of low-scoring Sunday games, a horrible prime time game, and a loss to my dad in fantasy football, we’re back with What-if Wednesday. For part two, we will be doing the next five worst teams: the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.   Atlanta ...

Considering the Colts: Indy scores huge win heading into bye

What. A. Win. Beating the reigning MVP at his own stadium is something the Colts should be proud of--but they aren’t satisfied yet. The Colts expected to win this game despite no one really giving them a chance. I mean, why would anyone give them a chance to go on the road to one of the best teams ...

What-If Wednesday: The Bottom Five

Anyone who has ever read a sports preview for the start of the league has heard it; “They’re one guy away.” Sure, that’s true for some middle-of-the-road teams, but what would happen if we did it for all of them? That’s the point of this column, to look at the “science” behind this saying ...

Considering the Colts: Indy Looks to Extend Win Streak to Three

It can be argued that, had last week's game against the Falcons had lasted 10 minutes longer, the Colts would have succumbed to a vintage Matty Ice comeback. Despite playing a great first half defensively, the secondary broke down in the second half, giving up several big plays in the passing game. ...

Considering the Colts: Indy Should be Confident Against Atlanta

The Colts defeated the Tennessee Titans this past Sunday to get into the win column. It wasn’t a work of art, but everyone made plays when they needed to. The Titans have an underrated defense that gave the Colts fits for most of the game. Marlon Mack and Jordan Wilkins did not have fantastic stat ...
