When discussing the greatest athletes that have attended historically black colleges (HBCUs) one players' name that will always be mentioned is all-time great NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice.

The San Francisco 49ers have by far been the most surprising team so far this season. A 51-13 win over the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday improved their record to 7-0. They are now one of just two teams that remain undefeated this 2019 NFL season (New England Patriots).

Last season, the Chicago Bears won the NFC North by a wide margin with a record of 12-4 primarily behind the play of their defense that lead the NFL in points allowed. The Minnesota Vikings, who finished in second in the division … Continue reading NFL Predictions: NFC North
The biggest story for the NFC East going into the 2019 season will be how long the holdout lasts for Dallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott. In Elliott's first three seasons in the NFL, he has led the league in rushes and rushing yards in two of those three seasons while leading in yards … Continue reading NFL Predictions: NFC East
We have reached my final AFC division prediction with the AFC West. The AFC West was a two team division last season with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers both finishing 12-4 with the Chiefs taking the tiebreaker.
