A good year to be a wild card in NFL playoffs

in Top Headlines by

It looks like it’s a good year to be a wild card in the NFL playoffs. The oddsmakers certainly think so, making Kansas City (3 points), Pittsburgh (2 1-2), and Seattle (5 1-2) favorites on the road in the opening round of the postseason. The only wild card that is an underdog is slumping Green Bay, and by only a point at Washington. Those wise guys also have made the sixth-seeded Seahawks the third choice to win the NFC at…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Time for a little game before your big game. It’s called “Trust or Don’t Trust” and is designed to offer a little helpful insight — hopefully helpful, anyway — on who to start for your fantasy team in championship week. Everyone knows you can trust Cam Newton — he’s gotten you this far — but what about banged-up receiver DeSean Jackson, who’s been inconsistent all season?

Injuries force teams to clear the bench

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The list of key players injured this season would make even some coaches shudder. Particularly when they see who has to fill in. A look at just the running backs who have been sidelined in 2015 is foreboding: Jamaal Charles, Le’Veon Bell, Justin Forsett, Arian Foster, Chris Johnson, Mark Ingram, Carlos Hyde, and Reggie Bush.

As an enticement to an NFL team considering taking him in the draft, Greene also returned 15 punts, averaging 10.7 yards per return. When draft day 2015 came along, no one expected Greene…
