Verse for today... And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 Note: I have listed this same grading information and past years grading information below my final mock draft which is always listed in this website under the tab called Draftman Rick's Mock Draft. I entered my mock draft for this year in the Pro Football Focus (PFF) Draft Pick Challenge for Round 1 and won the contest. PFF is well known throughout the USA. It is the company Cris Col

The final version of my 2026 mock draft is now posted under the tab named Draftman Rick's Mock Draft. And, of course, I'll beat Mel Kiper again! :-) Enjoy! May God always be your number 1 draft pick! Draftman Rick

This is just a heads up to let you all know that my first round mock draft is planned for late Thursday afternoon. Look for it then. I'm studying like crazy! May God always be your number 1 draft pick! Draftman Rick

This draft projection is only a top 10 because the needs of the teams will change after free agents agree with teams beginning March 9, so even this top 10 is likely to change. Everyone likes early predictions, so here's what I'm thinking as of February 26, 2026. 1) Raiders - QB Fernando Mendoza - Mendoza will be the first pick, and I'll be very surprised if any team can offer enough for the Raiders to trade away the pick. 2) Jets - LB Arvell Reese - This guy makes plays al

Super Bowl LX (60) is Sunday, February 8. It's the Seattle Seahawks vs. the New England Patriots. Here's how I see it going. The Seahawks are a rather handsome favorite in this game. The point spread is 4.5 in favor of Seattle. Their defense deserves respect. Their offense deserves respect in the confines of their home field in Seattle, but I don't see too much flash when they are away from home. The Patriots defense is a solid unit. They don't allow much of anyone to run the

It's down to the final four of the NFL. All of these teams play good defense. Here is how I see the two games going. New England Patriots at Denver Broncos New England . It would have been a very close call, but if Bo Nix was able to play, I would have picked Denver. He's out, and Jarrett Stidham is in at quarterback for the Broncos. Stidham hasn't started a game in a long time. He was drafted by the Patriots as a possible replacement for Tom Brady. That never materialized,

Did Tyler Robinson kill Charlie Kirk? A lot of people say no. They say Israel did it or had it done. I know the FBI has some of the smartest people in the world, and I know a whole ton of them are investigating this case. If Tyler Robinson didn't kill Charlie Kirk, those people will figure it out. But, here's what's going to happen. Robinson will go on trial. The evidence against him will be so ironclad that a jury of 12 people will find him guilty, and he will spend the rest

Here are my picks for the four games this weekend. Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos - Cornerback Maxwell Hairston and safety Jordan Poyer have been ruled out for the Bills. They were already thin in the secondary. Plus, they only have three healthy wide receivers. Denver is rested and ready to go. With all of that said, if Josh Allen gets a chance to win the game at the end, I think he will do it. My pick is Buffalo . San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks - The 49ers are ano

It's time to really get serious with these picks for the playoffs. Here goes! Los Angeles Rams at Carolina Panthers Los Angeles Rams . I know the Panthers beat the Rams by a field goal a few weeks ago. All that will accomplish is to make the Rams lasar focused. Matt Stafford is playing as well as any quarterback in the league. This would seem to be a mismatch. Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears Green Bay . The Bears had to have a lot of breaks to beat the Packers about three

Here are my winners for this week with comments on some of the games. Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay . The Buccaneers have played like a bad football team for several weeks now. Even with that, they almost beat Carolina in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago. I think their experience will help them can get it done this time. Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers San Francisco . The 49ers are on a roll and at home while Sam Darnold is not the same quarterbac

Here are my winners for this week in the NFL with comments on some of the games. Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders Dallas , and they won. Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings Detroit , but they lost. Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs Denver , and they won. Houston Texans at Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Chargers . This should be a good game. The Texans defense might put on enough pressure to win this one, but that'll be hard in Los Angeles. Baltimore Ravens at Green

Here are my winners for this week with comments on some of the games. Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks Seattle , and they won. Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders Philadelphia , and they won. Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears Chicago , and they won (by minor miracle). Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers Tampa Bay . The Buccaneers seem to have the Panthers number. Mike Evans does particularly well against them. Los Angeles Chargers at Dallas Cowboys Dallas

Here are my winners for the week with comments on some of the games. Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay , but they lost. Las Vegas Raiders at Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia . If the Eagles don't win this game, you can stick a fork in them because they would be done! Cleveland Browns at Chicago Bears Chicago . Da Bears rebound and win a low scoring game. Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans Houston . Defense wins this one. Washington Commanders at New York Gian

Here are my winners for this week in the NFL along with comments on some of the games. Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions Detroit , and they won. Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons Seattle . The Seahawks defense should win this game. Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens Baltimore . The Steelers are in a tailspin, and Aaron Rodgers has been beaten to a pulp. Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns Cleveland . Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers Green Bay . The Bears winning strea

Here are my predictions for this week with comments on some of the games. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions Detroit , but they lost. Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys Kansas City , but they lost. Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens Baltimore , but they lost. Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia , but they lost. Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans Jacksonville . I wouldn't be shocked if the Titans won. Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts Indianapolis

Here are my winners for this week with comments on some of the games. Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans Buffalo , but they lost. NewYork Jets at Baltimore Ravens Baltimore . Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears Chicago . New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals New England . If Joe Burrow plays, this game could go the other way. New York Giants at Detroit Lions Detroit . Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers Green Bay . Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City .

Here are my winners for this week with comments on some of the games. New York Jets at New England Patriots New England , and they won. Washington Commanders vs Miami Dolphins in Madrid Miami . The Dolphins have won some lately, but the Commanders are injured and have been losing. Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons Atlanta . The Panthers can win the game if the Falcons don't have a better run defense than they did last week against the Colts. Close game! Tampa Bay Buccaneer

Verse for today... A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. Proverbs 22:1a We've had half of the season to see how Micah Parsons has fared in Green Bay. That's enough time for me to give my opinion. Anyone who gave an opinion before a game was even played was just guessing. Here's what I think. Micah Parsons is a high level pass rusher. He sees the ball and goes to get the player with the ball. He's not that good of a coverage linebacker. He doesn't really predic

Verse for today... As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. Proverbs 25:13 It's about to get cold, so the good teams are about to step forward! Here are my winners for this week with comments on some games. Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos Denver , and they won. Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts in Berlin, Germany Indianapolis . New York Giants at Chicago Bears Chicago . Ba

Here are excerpts from an article by Matt Hayes who is a senior college football writer for USA Today. His feelings kind of sum up mine. (start of excerpts) You see a coach losing it on the sideline, berating players in an ugly, underperforming season of distress. I see a coach who should’ve left Clemson two years ago. “This is a low of lows,”Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said after last weekend’s loss to Duke. And it should’ve never come to this.
