Andy Richardson: A Day of Football

If you're like me, you grew up in a time when the Super Bowl generally stunk. When it was considered a good game if the AFC lost by less than 10 points, and when people said they watched the game for the commercials without a hint of irony. Why else would you watch the Super Blowout?  more »

Andy Richardson: Super Bowl Prop Bets

For years, my favorite column on this site, bar none, is when Ian Allan tells which Super Bowl prop bets he likes. He hasn't written one this year, perhaps because he doesn't like enough of them. It's the day of the Super Bowl, so I'm going to give it a stab myself.   more »

Factoid: Super Bowl spread

The Patriots are favored by 4.5 points. On the one hand, that looks a little low in that they’ve been here many times before and have a lengthy history of being able to pull out playoff games – we’re looking at the best coach and best quarterback in league history.   more »

Factoid: Top quarterbacks versus Philadelphia

Most will agree that the major differentiator between the two teams playing Super Bowl LII is the quarterbacks. Imagine if it had been the top 2 MVP candidates in Carson Wentz and Tom Brady. Instead we've got Brady and Eagles backup Nick Foles. Huge advantage for New England.   more »

Around the NFL: All hands on deck for Patriots

It would be nice to see a compelling Super Bowl, so maybe there are some thinking it would be a plus if the game's best tight end doesn't get cleared to return from a concussion. But the general suspicion last week that two weeks would be plenty of time for Rob Gronkowski appears correct.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Super Bowl LII Player Rankings

After previewing both teams separately over the course of the week, we can now throw the rankings together and see what the ideal lineup will look like. A pretty even mix of Patriots and Eagles, and the thought that it will be a closely contested Super Bowl where the Patriots are rightly favored, but the Eagles should make a game of it.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Super Bowl LII Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (Part II)

We're thinking the Eagles will put up average passing numbers. New England ranked last in pass defense during the season, but we're splitting the difference between what they did the first half of the season (definitely the league's softest pass defense) and the second half (a top-10 group). So Philadelphia should have a viable fantasy receiver or two.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Super Bowl LII Preview: Philadelphia Eagles (Part I)

Facing a defense overseen by Bill Belichick can't be described as a favorable situation, of course, but it maybe isn't as bad as you might think. New England wasn't a dominant defensive team during the season, finishing 20th or worse against both the run and the pass. It was 5th in points allowed, and a lot better in yards during the second half of the season -- nobody is suggesting it's an easy matchup. But some potential for the Eagle offense.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Super Bowl LII Preview: New England Patriots (Part II)

With the Eagles having the league's best run defense, New England's offense will almost certainly emphasize the pass. That's covered in Part I of the preview. Now a look at the receivers who will be catching all of those balls. There are a number of possibilities.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Super Bowl LII Preview: New England Patriots (Part I)

The Patriots are trying to win their sixth Super Bowl, and strong chance they'll do it. They've got the better offense (if for no other reason than they've got a Hall of Fame quarterback), and their defense has performed better than its ranking for more than half a season. But it looks like it should be a competitive game, matched up with the regular season's best all-around team, and a below-average situation for their offense.   more »
