22 picks came, and 22 went, and the Eagles still hadn’t picked a player. They were originally slotted to pick 22nd overall, but decided halfway through their timer to trade the pick to the Cleveland Browns for the 26th pick and the 83rd pick, which is a third rounder. It didn’t come as much of a surprise that they decided to trade down after many of their top targets were drafted right before them such … Continue reading
It’s already pretty clear that this year’s draft is going to be one of the most exciting ones that I can remember. Even the top draft experts basically have no idea who is going to get drafted to which teams, and many teams might trade up and down to mess up people’s predictions. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see multiple teams trade up to get into the top 10. As most of the … Continue reading

As per the tweet above from SportsCenter, there was nothing quite like the performances we saw. Does that mean the playoffs are on track to get even better? I sure hope so. After going 5-3 in … Continue reading
THIS JUST IN: 76ers PG Michael Carter-Williams will be named NBA Rookie of the Year. (via @njdotcom) pic.twitter.com/UbXUjT6kdQ — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 3, 2014 This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. There was no rookie in the NBA that was even close to Michael Carter-Williams, who has officially been announced as the 2014 NBA Rookie of the Year. He got 104/124 first place votes, which seems about right to me. I’m sure Victor Oladipo … Continue reading
So at this point, the Eagles would be 9-3 (if my predictions are right). That’s definitely good enough to put them high up in the standings for the conference and the league. But, the final four games of the season will likely be the hardest stretch of the season. If the Eagles want to guarantee a playoff spot, they should be coming into this final stretch with at least 8 wins, but preferably 9 (or … Continue reading
As per my predictions so far, the Eagles stand at 6-2 and likely hold the lead in the NFC East. That’s a pretty solid start to the season, especially after starting out 2-2. This puts them on a 4-game winning streak, but they go into a 4-game stretch that will be quite challenging compared to the last. Will they be able to stay ahead in the division? I guess we’ll see: Week 10 This week … Continue reading
After my predictions for Weeks 1-4 yesterday, I decided that they’d go 2-2 to start out the season. This isn’t the greatest start for a division champion from last year, but their two losses were to two other division champs, so it wouldn’t worry me too much if they lost to the Colts and 49ers. This stretch of the season should be a little bit better for the Eagles though. Week 5 After starting 2-2, … Continue reading
The long-awaited NFL schedules have finally been released. At 8 p.m. yesterday, they were made official by the NFL, although many of the games were already leaked ahead of time. Regardless, with the schedules actually made official, I can now analyze what they were given and predict their record. Here it goes: Week 1 The Eagles got Jacksonville at home in their opener. Couldn’t start much better than that, could they? Jacksonville had a pitiful … Continue reading
Well, that’s the end of the regular season. The playoffs are set and will begin very soon. After I measured every team’s efficiency in how well they were spending their money earlier in the season, I promised that I would provide an update at the end of the season. Well, here it is. Most of the teams have similar team salaries to what they did last time, but every team’s win totals have changed (yes, … Continue reading
Free agency is moving its way towards the end as teams prepare for the NFL draft, but the league also just announced each team’s preseason schedules. Unfortunately we can’t start a countdown until football games start again because the dates haven’t been announced yet, but they should start sometime in August. So just 4 more months to go… Michael Vick and the Jets return to the Linc for #Eagles preseason finale. More on the exhibition … Continue reading
