    7 NFL teams with best chance to win Super Bowl LXI entering Week 4 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Three weeks into the NFL season, it is important to view the championship lens differently than the standings show. Quarterback play matters, but so do protection, defensive answers, depth, and whether a team can win after getting punched in the mouth. Three games can sharpen the picture. It cannot tell us who will still be standing in January. That is why this board moves without completely overreacting to one Sunday. Let’s dive in.

    Bold quarterback predictions for NFL Week 3: Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence & more (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bold NFL predictions are supposed to make you a little uncomfortable. If the number feels obvious, it probably belongs in a projection column instead. The fun starts when the target gets high enough to invite ridicule, but the path underneath it still looks like a possibility rather than a lottery ticket. This week’s predictions come from completely different places: one quarterback is living in a ridiculous dropback environment, another gets a defense that can barely hurry anybody, and the thir

Two games of efficiency data can sharpen the picture, but nobody is engraving EPA numbers on the Lombardi Trophy.
