Regardless of your viewing preferences, you should know the main motivation for today’s skirmish is possession of the Commander-In-Chief Trophy, something Army has failed to accomplish since 1996. Students of military history will be quick to point out that the drought will probably continue as Navy has won 10 straight series clashes on the fi eld. But we think the ATS outcome – and even the SU result – is clearly in doubt. Though the Middies stand 13-3 ATS versus the foot soldiers when they own the better seasonal win percentage, the seagoers have sprung a leak of late versus the Vegas line. They’re a poor 2-11 ATS against sub .400 foes over the last three campaigns (0-5 ATS this year) and an even worse 1-9 ATS their last 10 tries as pick or favorite, including 0-4 ATS in 2012. Shiver me timbers! Despite its feeble 2-9 SU effort this year, Army leads the land in rushing with 370 YPG, a times after rumbling with the Giants. The Skins have also faced three consecutive meaningful stat because the Midshipmen are 0-5 ATS as chalk in games NFC East foes since their Bye Week and our database informs us that teams in this where they allow 125 or more rushing yards. These two teams played one role who pull off upsets wins in their last two games (as Washington has done) common opponent this season – Air Force – and both emerged victorious are just 7-15 SUATS since 1980, including 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS when facing a to set up today’s CIC title game. However, a big edge goes to Army: the .600 or greater foe.

  • About Undrafted
    About Undrafted Every year, thousands of college football players leave school with dreams of pursuing a career in the National Football League. Of those thousands, 256 players are selected in the NFL Draft. The remaining – the Undrafted – must convince coaches, executives and the pro football community they deserve a coveted roster spot on an NFL team. NFL Network’s Undrafted goes inside the lives and tells the inspirational stories of these athletes as they try to fulfill their football dreams. The series follows the players – on and off the field – as they prepare for, and perform in, the NFL's Regional Combines (an alternative showcase for lesser-known college players), their schools’ respective Pro Days and NFL training camps. These events have taken on greater importance in recent years as numerous undrafted players – including Super Bowl XLIX hero Malcolm Butler (New England Patriots) – have earned important roles on pro rosters. This is the third season of Undrafted – a series which premiered in 2014 to critical acclaim, becoming nominated for a Sports Emmy in the prestigious “Outstanding Documentary Series” category. Undrafted is co-produced by the NFL Media’s Original Content Group in association with Mandalay Sports Media and DG West. Undrafted 2016 Programming Schedule The third season of the Emmy-nominated series Undrafted will premiere on NFL Network on Tuesday, September 13 at 8:00 PM ET. Each hour-long edition of the eight-episode series will air on Tuesday through November 1, and will re-air Tuesday at 12 Midnight ET

Drafted in the first round (No. 24 overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft, Rodgers has been selected to four Pro Bowls (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014 seasons) and named the league’s Most Valuable Player two times (2011 and 2014). “I’m driven to be the best,” says Rodgers. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to achieve the goals I set every year. I enjoy trying to meet the challenges those goals bring.” Rodgers has the highest career passer rating (106.4) in NFL history and he is the only player in league annals to have more than four times as many touchdown passes (231) as interceptions (57) – no other player has three times as many.

  • John Fox Fires Back at Jim Irsay Over Peyton Manning Bashing
    John Fox fires back at Jim Irsay over Peyton Manning bashing By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 Broncos coach John Fox. Broncos coach John Fox fired back at Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday in defense of Peyton Manning. Irsay earlier implied in an interview with USA Today that he wanted to move on from Manning’s “star wars” stats and start winning more Super Bowls. Fox, on his weekly appearance on NFL Sirius radio on Tuesday with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan, was asked about Irsay’s comments. “I saw the comments. And to be honest with you, I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot,” Fox said. “To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. “Peyton would never say anything. He’s too classy to do that. They sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me. For a guy who has set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won four MVP awards… be thankful of that one Super Bowl ring, because a lot of people don’t have one.” Irsay, among other quotes, said in reference to Manning’s time with the Colts: “(Tom) Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these,” Irsay said. “Pittsburgh had two, the Giants had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated.” Here’s a link to Fox’s radio interview. Broncos promote Tavarres King to 53- man roster, waive Adrian Robinson By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 When the Green Bay Packers tried to sign away rookie receiver Tavarres King, the Broncos' front office countered with its own play.
