The Beginning of the End? (2025 AFC West Preview)
The AFC West. Wow! As a Southern Californian, I'm elated that I get to see this division unleashed literally every week. Well, this and the other West Division. The AFC West has alway been interesting, and last year, it was quite beastly. Three of the AFC West's four teams remained in the thick of things all year. Three of them also made the playoffs; an absolutely amazing feat.

CFL Week 9 Recap: On the Prowl
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats need to be taken seriously. The team has been snakebit for many years. The Tiger-Cats are the only team in the league who has not won the Grey Cup in the 21st century. Their last championship came in 1999. Since I started watching the Canadian Football League in 2013, the TiCats have been to the big game quite a bit, but they always came up short. Their closest chance was 2021, with that game going to overtime, but they were defeated by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The TiCats started this season at 0-2, and it looked like it would be another iffy season for the squad, until they went on a winning streak.

The Right to Kick Off Wild Card Weekend (2025 AFC South Preview)
For a long time, I've had a lot of mixed feeling about the AFC South. Part of me wants to say that the division is, well... boring. If I do so, well, I would be completely unfair. The AFC South has had its amazing moments in the past few years. I still remember a Colts/Titans season finale with a playoff spot on the line. There's also the Jaguars shockingly ending the Colts' 2021 season in the final week, and of course, the Jaguars winning the division in the final week of the 2022 season. And there's the Texans going from narrowly losing out on the #1 pick one year, to defeating Indy for a playoff spot the next (that became a division title a day later).
