After beating 26-13 the LA Rams as visitors the Falcons dream with another year in the Superbowl. They were the lowest seed in the NFC. So they are visitng the No.1 The Eagles from Philly. The Falcons have showed improvement in the end of the season. They beat divisional rivals and they made it to the playoffs in a really competitive division. They went to LA and beat the Rams and the defense were able to stop a potential MVP Tod Gurley. And the offense scored more than 20 points. Se , they are flying Philly with a high hope and with a great possibility to be in the NFC Championship game, when they could face the Saints or the Vikings. In the other hand, the N.1 First seed the Eagles (13-3) are had a week off and are ready to show why they stood in that place. However, after the Carson Wenz injury, they Eagles have not been the same. And they finished their regular season at home losing against the Cowboys. Nick Foles is a good back up QB. But that will be enough to beat the At...

Preceded in 2017 with the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots, and in 2016 the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Texans. Both editions of the game in Mexico have been seen with good eyes for the NFL and that is why the agreement of the league to keep having the games in Mexico. The two formed editions the Azteca Stadium was full until the end of the game. Even in the game Raiders Patriots, where the Raiders could not stop Patriots offense and were outscored 33-8. So, the reception of the games have been really well since 2016. But, in those cases they were teams were famous in Mexico, specially the Raiders, and of course the Patriots, since all of the bandwagons known in Spanish as villamelones.   This year, the Rams and the Chiefs will visit Mexico.

Game preview: Alabama vs Georgia These two titans from college football will face next Monday in the 2017 college playoff final between Georgia and Alabama in Atlanta. It will be an interesting game from many perspectives. The coaches know really well, actually Kirby Smart HC of Georgia has been member of Nick Saban coaching staff from 2004 to 2015. But now is different, Smart is leading the bulldogs for second year and is ready to compete against his former boss and one of the most complex college team. Georgia has good coaching and also combine it with a strong running game and also an underrated QB Jake Fromm, a freshman QB who handle well the semifinal stage of playoffs, completed 20 to 29 and finish with 210 yards and no INT. However sooners defense is not as competitive as Alabama. So Fitzpatrick and Alabama safeties will be a threat to Georgia passing game. In the other side of the ball, Smith and the defense of Georgia had an important night stopping sooners  and Ba...

The playoffs are set and ready to go. The Atlanta Falcons will visit the LA Rams, the relocated franchise have made it to the playoffs in the second year in LA, and have clinched their division since 2003. Are they contenders? Can the defense stop Matt Ryan and Atlanta offense and make their way to the Divisional match up against the Eagles? Photo from CBS Sports The  Falcons are No 6 seed and have won the last three games against division opponents. They still have Matt Ryan and a strong running game with Coleman and Freeman. However their offensive production is not the same as last year when they made it to the Super Bowl. And they will face one of the most dangerous offensive in the NFC. The LA Rams has MVP Candidate Todd Gurley and second year Jard Goff with a talented options of wide receivers. In my opinion, the balanced offense of the LA Rams will take the game and will face the Eagles in the next game.

For the third time in this NFL 2017 season the Saints and the Panthers will face. But now it will be postseason, wild card match up. The Carolina Panthers are visiting the New Orleans Saints, the champions or their division. It is interesting that this year the NFC has in playoffs three of the NFC south division; the Saints, the Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons. Photo by Canal Street Chronicals This time will be different. In the serie, the panthers were sweeped by the saints. And this time the panthers come from losing against the Falcons with a really erratic Cam Newton. However the panthers offense cannot be discarded. They finished 10-6, the same as the Saints, they won important game i.e against the Patriots in New England and finally Cam Newton accounted for an overwhelming 4,056, for 78.3%. So the Panthers are always a threat. In the other hand the Saints are recovered from past season were they struggled a lot. This time the running game is fundamental with...

Buffalo Bills are back in playoffs after 18 years. Since the year 2000 the AFC East has been dominated by the Patriots. This year was no the exception,  but the Bills made it to the playoffs by wining to the AFC wild card. The bills ended the season 9-7and will face the jaguars who had a record of 10-6. They won their game against the dolphins and also, the Baltimore Ravens lose against the Bengals who eliminated them from their dream to be in playoff. Instead, the Titans and the Ravens will be in playoffs. The Titans will visit the Chiefs in Kansas City, and the Bills will visit the Jaguars in Jacksonville. The Buffalo Bills had a complicated season and they were not consistent in their games. Nevertheless they may have opportunity to win. They have win  3 of the last 4 games and they have a good running game. But unfortunately Leshean McCoy is questionable for the game due to an ankle injury. In the other hand the Jacksonville Jaguars has lost their las...

The Kansas City Chiefs will recieve the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Wildcard round in Arrowhead Stadium. The Titans defeated the Jaguars 15-10 in week 17 to finish with a 9-7 record. In the other hand, the Chiefs win over the Broncos, with their rookie QB Mahomes, 27-24 and won the AFC West with a 10-6 record. It will be an interesting AFC match up. Besides the Kansas City wining record, the team show many doubts. After starting the season winning their 5 games and being the last undefeated team they started losing their effectiveness int he game against the Steelers. After that game they lose 5 games in row and had to win the division title against the Chargers who started 0-4 and had many problems in their special teams.  The Kansas City are not the same who started the season with a win over the Patriots . Will be a team who struggled to win a division with teams that have several problems.  If that is not enough  The Titans edged the Ch...

The 2017 NFL season is over, and the voting for most valuable player are on. The top of the voting is for Tom Brady. The second place would be for Tod Gurley who has a 1,305 yards and 13 TD and other 788 recieving yards for a total of 2,093 yards. We think that Gurley have to be MVP. Also his performance has helped the LA Rams to be back in play offs and be divitional champions since 2003. As you can see in this NFL total access comparison between the Adrian Peterson's MVP season and the 2017 Todd Gurley season, we can see that Todd Gurley is similar.  However, is difficult for RB to win this kind of awards, over QB, and there are other QB MVP candidates, among them: Tom Brady, Carson Wenz, Drew Brees and even Case Keenum.  Only time will tell. 

 As the San Francisco   49 ers are back on track, they won against the Jacksonville jaguars their 4th game in row. The y have had a misery in past seasons. And after they started 0-9 this season . It has been a tough season. And they will probably have a high draft pick.  But after the Niners win against AFC South division champion Jacksonville, there's a genuine belief in the Bay Area in the idea that with Garoppolo at quarterback for the Niners (5-10) in the future, all things are once again possible. And also with coach Kyle Shanahan ( super bowl offensive cooridnator with the Falcons) many fans think they are ready to be contenders this season. So the new hope with Shanahan-Garoppolo is real. But they are not the only who are improving in San Francisco, also the deffense and the running game have improved.  "I always felt like we could have won a bunch of games " RB  Hyde  said. And indeed they were losing their games by a small difference. ...

In the first half they outscored Matt Ryan and the Falcons offense, who struggled all the game to move the chains. The Patriots looked confident, moving the ball, they had passing game and rushing game alternating Giliselle and Lewis. As every week Brandon Cooks was a major target for Tom Brady. And young Falcons defense could not stopped them.  However, the heroes of the night was Patriots defense, who were ranked in the bottom of the NFL defense and were able to stopped Falcons offense, who was exactly the same offense that the SuperBowl one, except for Kyle Shannahan, who is having his problems in San Francisco.

As we expected it was a great game with many points a and big plays. Derek Carr had a prominent night, he threw 417 yards, and Raiders had a total of 505 yards. It was really important for the Raiders to show that their offensive game still strong with the diversify of their  passing game with Carr,  supported by a strong RB. Although Marshawn Lynch was ejected from the game, the Raiders handled it well with Washington. Also , in the other side of the ball, the sign of Navarro Bowman, LB coming from the 49 ers added a strong component f the Raiders defense. It was a very equal game. The Chiefs had 425 total yards and Alex Smith threw 331 yards. As always the playmakers from the chiefs had an important night; Tyrek Hill, Kareem Hunt, and Travis Kelce were major tar...

Divisional round game.

The Raiders will be looking forward to getting out from the bottom of the division, where the Chargers were before week 6. In their other hand the Chiefs will try to recover from Sunday loss at home and demonstrate they are in the top 1 of standings in the NFL. This is not going to be easy, since many defensive coordinators have found the manner to stop Kansas city offense and neutralize Kareem Hunt and Tyrek Hill. In the game against the Steelers the Chiefs had problems moving the ball. So Andy Reid must find new ways to move the ball in offense. In the other hand, the Raiders will try to overcome the injury of their QB Derek Carr.  Manuel has not done a bad job, but  has not adapted to the offensive system designed for Carr. Th...

Huge win for the Atlanta Falcons Matt Ryan an his teams scored 34 points in the inauguration day of the new Mercedes Benz stadium, Devonta Freeman ran for 84 yards, and Matt Ryan threw for 252 yards. Falcons send a strong message for the NFC. They are back to be super bowl contenders by leading their division. What is interesting about the Falcons defense, is that they have more experience than last year, is a young defense, in this game they rush the QB Aaron Rodgers, had two turnovers and keep to line Greenbay offense.  Besides that, Falcons defense still carring the shame of blewing a 25 point lead in the superbowl LI in Houston Texas against the Patriots. Atlanta defense look strong, but still have the challenge to keep that level in the 4th quarter. Photo by esto In the other hand, the Green Bay packers had a long Sunday night. Aaron Rodgers couldn't move the chanis, Jordy Nelson was out for an injury, Ty Montgomery was no able to run the ball he just ran for 35 y...

Mile High Stadium Before the game stopped due to a thunder storm, the Broncos started with a strong offense leaded by Trevor Sieman, second year. Since the beginning they established the running game with healthy C.J Anderson and Jamal Charles that came this years from the Chiefs. Also Trevor Siemean found their WR Thomas and Sanders and worked well with the TE. The Broncos had the domain from the beginning to the end, the Broncos defense just allowed 15 yards for one of the best RB in the league Ezekiel Elliot, the Broncos defensive backs, Harris Jr, Talib covering Cowboys WR and constantly  rushing Dak Prescott. Prescott threw two interceptions, were sacks by Von Miller two times and overthrew passes.  Also, the possession time was for the Broncos.
