    1. Kansas City Chiefs (14-1): The Chiefs are one win away from clinching the best record in the AFC in their quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl crown.

  • Ravens defeat the Chargers and end their winning streak

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Nov 28, 2024

    The Los Angeles Chargers have done a magnificent job this season of winning games with a physical brand of football, playing tough defense, running the football and playing well on special teams. But there are teams that also want to play that way and have more talent than the Chargers. One of those teams is the Baltimore Ravens. Last Monday Night at SoFI Stadium in Inglewood, the Ravens defeated the Chargers 30-23, ending their four-game winning streak. The loss dropped the Chargers to 7-4 on...

  • Rams lose the battle in the trenches against the Eagles

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Nov 28, 2024

    The Rams' primetime clash last Sunday night with the Philadelphia Eagles was a litmus test. The need was threefold. They needed to dominate the trenches, establish the run, and protect Matthew Stafford. On their early drives, there was a glimmer of hope. But as the game unfolded, so did the Rams' vulnerabilities, and after their 37-20 defeat, they were left searching for answers. For only the second time this season, the Rams' offense scored a touchdown in the first quarter. Stafford connected w...

  • Some things aren't catching on for the Chargers

    Mykell Mathieu, Sports Reporter|Nov 28, 2024

    The Chargers are now 7-4 after a tough loss on Monday night to the Baltimore Ravens, 30-23. Even with the loss, the Chargers find themselves holding onto the sixth playoff seed with six games remaining this season. Los Angeles has been a surprise to some, but most football fans expected instant improvement with the addition of head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers are led by a balanced offense and the top scoring defense in the NFL but if they expect to make the playoffs, they will need to...

  • Rams host the Eagles on Sunday Night Football

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Nov 21, 2024

    The 2024 Los Angeles Rams have a golden opportunity to show their relevance and mettle on Sunday night when they host the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium. After rebounding from a loss with a win for the second time this season the 5-5 Rams are only one game behind the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals with seven games remaining in the regular season. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes while the defense snuffed out a potential game-winning drive against the New England...

  • Streaking Chargers to meet the Bengals in a Sunday Night Football Clash

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Nov 14, 2024

    Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said it best after his Chargers team defeated the Tennessee Titans at SoFi Stadium last Sunday afternoon, 27-17, for their third consecutive victory. "We're excited for these guys and what they're doing and let's keep going. Let's go get some more." The win improved the Chargers record to 6-3. The Titans fell to 2-7 on the season. The Chargers will try to get more this weekend when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a Sunday Night clash of two...

  • Los Angeles Rams take on the Patriots Sunday

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Nov 14, 2024

    Three steps forward, one Prime Time slip backward. A very disappointing 23-15 loss to the visiting Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football placed the Los Angeles Rams behind the eight ball for the second time this season. With four wins and five losses midway through the regular season the Rams likely need to win six of their last eight games to have a realistic chance to make the playoffs. For the eighth time during head coach Sean McVay's reign the Rams failed to score a touchdown. The only...

  • Rams battle Vikings tonight at SoFi

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 24, 2024

    As The World Turns. The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to host the Minnesota Vikings for Thursday Night Football at SoFi Stadium. A sudden swirl of rumors and reports that the Rams are seeking to trade All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp followed the team's much-needed home victory over the Las Vegas this past Sunday. The news is an unexpected shock for the Rams faithful who immediately embraced Kupp when he was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Reportedly, the Rams are asking for...

  • 2024 NFL Power Rankings – Week 8

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Oct 24, 2024

    1.Kansas City Chiefs (6-0): The Chiefs are the only unbeaten team in the NFL after defeating the 49ers on the road, but that still was not good enough. The Chiefs then went out and traded for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to give the offense more offensive fire power. The Titans get a fifth-round pick that elevates to a fourth rounder if KC makes the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the snaps. What a steal. Next: -9.5 at Las Vegas Raiders - Sun, Oct. 27, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: 41 (ATS: 5-1 – O/U...

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0): The Chiefs are coming off a bye in Week 6 and get a rematch of last season's Super Bowl with the 49ers in Santa Clara. This should be a real test for the Chiefs. The 49ers and their fans will be sky high for this game. Next: +1.5 at San Francisco 49ers - Sun, Oct. 20, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: 47 (ATS: 2-3 – O/U: 3-2) 2.

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Oct 10, 2024

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0): The train keeps a rolling for the Chiefs. After their Monday night win over the Saints, the Chiefs are 5-0 despite losing running back Isiah Pacheco and wide receiver Rashee Rice to injuries. The Chiefs are winning despite the struggles of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has thrown 6 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions in five games.

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0): The Chiefs are 4-0 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been average this season and the Chiefs are still undefeated. That should scare everyone.

Next: -5.5 vs New Orleans Saints - Mon, Oct. 7, 5:15 PM PT – O/U: 43 (ATS: 3-1 – O/U: 2-2) 2.

  • Rams Lose Third Consecutive Road Game

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    Road warriors no more. The Los Angeles Rams lost for the third time in four games to begin the 2024 season. Every single loss has been on the road. The latest, a game they gave away to the Bears, 24-18, at Soldier Field in Chicago, was primarily the result of not capitalizing in the Red Zone on their offensive drives in the first half. The Rams started with a very robust 7-1 road record when Sean McVay took over as head coach of the Rams in 2017. They improved to 28-13 (.682) as the visiting...

  • Chiefs continue their road dominance over the Chargers in victory

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Oct 3, 2024

    The dominance of the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West division never seems to end. After four weeks of NFL action, the Chiefs are 4-0 in the AFC West and have a two-game lead over the rest of the division after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers, 17-10 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on last Sunday afternoon. The victory was the Chiefs 11th consecutive win over the Chargers on their homefield. The Chargers last beat the Chiefs at home in San Diego in the 2013 season. The Chargers fell to 2-2...

  • Los Angeles Chargers to meet division rival Kansas City

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Sep 26, 2024

    In the battle of two unbeaten teams, the good times finally ended for the Los Angeles Chargers this past weekend, as the Chargers fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-10, in a road game at Acrisure Stadium in the North Shore neighborhood of Pittsburgh. As Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game, "Not every game's gonna be a fairy tale ending." The Chargers started strong taking an early 7-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 27-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Herbert to...

  • With 0-2 start, Rams in unchartered waters under McVay

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Sep 19, 2024

    Sean McVay's face conveyed it all, even before he stepped up to the microphone after the game last Sunday. These 0-2 waters are unchartered territory for him. There's a certain silence that lingers after a loss like the one they endured last Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals on the road. You felt it in the Rams locker room, heard it in the way cleats scuffed the floor inside the locker room, in the low murmur of voices trying to make sense of something that felt senseless. You saw it on the...
