The 2024 NFL Divisional Playoffs will get underway with two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. Each conference’s top seed competes on Saturday, starting with the AFC top-seeded Baltimore Ravens hosting the No. 4 Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET, followed by the NFC top-seeded San Francisco 49ers hosting the No. 7 Green Bay Packers at 8:15 p.m. …

The top-seeded San Francisco 49ers will hope to continue their recent postseason dominance against Green Bay when they host the seventh-seeded Packers on Saturday in a 2024 NFC divisional round matchup. San Francisco (12-5) is 5-4 all-time against Green Bay in the NFL playoffs but has won the last four meetings, including a 13-10 triumph in the Divisional Round two …

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen will meet for the seventh time on Sunday, and the first time in the playoffs since the 42-36 overtime thriller won by Kansas City two years ago. The numbers don’t lie. This is easily the best QB rivalry since Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, who last met in the 2015 AFC title game. Here’s the …

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban sent shock waves through the college football world last Wednesday when he decided to retire from the sport. In hindsight, there may have been some signs he was planning to step away, but nobody truly saw it coming. Saban was the heart and soul of the Alabama program, so it is not totally shocking …

No wonder Jason Kelce looked impossibly forlorn sitting on a bench behind the Philadelphia Eagles’ sideline as the final minutes ticked away in a 32-9 wild-card playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Not only was the Eagles’ once-promising season coming to a tortuous though predictable end, but Kelce knew this would be his last NFL game. …

Wisconsin extended an offer to class of 2025 defensive lineman Gordy Sulfsted earlier today. Sulfsted is a three-star recruit in 247Sports.com, ranked as the No. 38 defensive lineman in the class and the No. 16 recruit from his home state of Ohio. The defensive lineman also holds offers from Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Iowa, Miami, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Stanford and Virginia. …

Getty Images As Jalen Hurts stood at the podium attempting to explain how the Philadelphia Eagles’ season went so far south, the franchise quarterback was ready for any questions on Nick Sirianni’s future. Sirianni is officially on the hot seat after the Eagles became the first team to start 10-1 and lose six of their final seven games since the …

When it comes to my picks for the wild-card round, I didn’t have a great week, but I also didn’t choke as hard as the Cowboys did, so I’m not going to get too down on myself.  I went 3-3 straight-up, which wasn’t ideal, but I slightly canceled that out by going 4-2 against the spread. I was clearly overthinking …

Wisconsin extended an offer to class of 2025 running back Jace Clarizio yesterday. Clarizio is a three-star recruit on 247Sports.com, and ranks as the No. 51 running back in the class and No. 10 recruit from his home state of Michigan. The six-foot, 190-pound running back also has offers from programs including USC, Michigan State, Louisville, Iowa State, Indiana and …

Jason Kelce, the longtime Philadelphia Eagles center who was one of the NFL’s best offensive linemen on the field and most popular off it, has informed teammates he’s retiring, ESPN reported.  The 36-year-old Kelce spent his entire 13-year career in Philadelphia after the Eagles selected him in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and was a starter on …

During the season, we explored in very unscientific fashion on social media the question of whether football fans wanted their favorite team to hire Bill Belichick, if their favorite team were looking for a coach. The answer, overwhelmingly, was no. Now that Belichick is available and seven (and possibly soon more) teams are looking for a head coach, will the …

“If you build it he will come.” That quote is, of course, from the movie “Field of Dreams.” Lincoln Riley is making good on his promise to build a top-tier defense by hiring Eric Henderson as co-defensive coordinator. This is a major step in returning USC to the defensive dominance fans have come to expect. “I’m excited to welcome the …

Right now, the Eagles and Cowboys have one thing in common — they both were duds in the wild-card round of these NFL playoffs. My word. Philadelphia lost by 23 and allowed a 330-plus yard passer. Dallas lost by 16 at home and Packers quarterback Jordan Love averaged 13 yards per attempt in his postseason debut. Woof.  But which NFC East …

Super Wild Card Weekend is in the books, which means we’re already onto the next round of action in the 2024 NFL playoffs. Six teams have moved on. Another six have been left behind. While the latter clubs will no doubt spend some time reflecting on their season, and what could have been this postseason, the page will quickly turn to …
