The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks are the betting line favorites to reach the Super Bowl in New York this February.

The New Orleans-Seattle Fight For Homefield
Will it turn out that a fluke of the schedule ends up being what decides who wins the Super Bowl this coming February in New York? It’s well possible–certainly the consensus view is that it will at least decide the NFC champ.

NFL Week 13: The Denver-Kansas City Rematch
After two big Sunday Night games against the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots, the Broncos get an afternoon kickoff this time (4:25 PM ET, CBS) but their rematch in Kansas City is still the game of the day, the best of NFL Week 13 overall and perhaps the most significant game of the year in the regular season.

It’s been almost two weeks since the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season wrapped up in Miami.

Alabama-Auburn Rivalry Gets Set For One Of Its Biggest
The eyes of the state of Alabama are always on the Iron Bowl this time of year, as the Alabama-Auburn rivalry makes its annual renewal. This year the eyes of the nation are on the Tide-Tigers battle, as Alabama comes in ranked #1 and looking for an unprecedented third straight national title. Auburn is playing at minimum for a shot at the SEC crown and to keep their national hopes alive–hopes some of us believe should be in the Tigers’ own hands.
Black Friday College Football: Big Mid-Major Games Await
The Black Friday college football slate is marked with rivalry games from power conferences, and they’re all interesting enough.

The Baltimore Ravens Remain One Of The NFL’s Most Interesting Questions
The Baltimore Ravens promised to be one of the more interesting teams in the NFL in 2013. After their dramatic Super Bowl run of 2012, the Ravens said goodbye to eighteen players, including the team’s heart and soul, in linebacker Ray Lewis. The captain retired and other key veterans like Ed Reed, Paul Kruger and Anquan Boldin went elsewhere, as the team had to pour significant salary cap dollars into retaining quarterback Joe Flacco, who was going into free agency
