2024-25 NFL Coaching Carousel: Which Head Coaches Get Fired Next?
NFL Coaches Fired in 2024NFL Coach Fired OddsFavorites To Be Fired FirstWhich NFL Coach Will Be Fired First?NFL Black Monday The NFL coaching carousel refers to the comings and goings of head coaches in the league. Typically, it’s due to head coaches being fired for not meeting the expectations of the front office or the owner. Last year, we saw eight coaches get axed during and after the season. This year, we’ve already seen two head coaches get axed and there are plenty more on the proverbial hot seat. Heading into the 2024-24 NFL season, New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen (+275) was the odds-on favorite to get fired first. However, the New York Jets canned Robert Saleh (+900)

Louisiana State Tigers vs. Georgia State Panthers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 18th 2023

by

|

No. 15 LSU is going to a bowl game but can’t win the Southeastern Conference championship. Georgia State is bowl eligible but can’t win the Sun Belt championship. So neither the 7-3 Tigers’ nor the 6-4 Panthers’ primary preseason goals are swinging in the balance of their non-conference game Saturday night in Baton Rouge, La. Even so, the game holds significant importance. Jayden Daniels and his LSU teammates can strengthen the quarterback’s case for winning … more

Maryland Terrapins vs. Michigan Wolverines Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 18th 2023

by

|

Michigan’s football program is making a serious run for a College Football Playoff berth and America’s favorite soap opera at the same time. The controversy swirling around coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff has taken many twists and turns. The team’s drive for a national championship, however, remains undeterred. The Wolverines (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten), ranked No. 3 in the latest poll, will play their penultimate regular-season game against Maryland on Saturday at College Park, … more

Ole Miss lost to Alabama in September to fall behind in the SEC West Division race. The Rebels lost to Georgia last week to snap a five-game winning streak. Both of those games were on the road. The No. 13 Rebels (8-2, 5-2) are 6-0 at home as they prepare to host Louisiana-Monroe in a non-conference game to conclude their home schedule Saturday. “The chance to have an undefeated home season is awesome, so obviously … more

Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 19th 2023

by

How the Commanders’ defense went from No. 3 in yards allowed in the 2022 to the fourth-worst entering Week 11 remains one of the questions Washington is actively working to answer with seven games to play in 2023. Identifying reasons for the freefall isn’t easy. The unit, guided by the same coordinator, Jack Del Rio, was bolstered by first- and second-round selections in the 2023 draft and has remained relatively injury free. But here sits … more

Colorado Avalanche vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 15th 2023

by

|

Down 1-0 and with the Kraken having appeared to score another goal, the Colorado Avalanche were reeling early Mondy night in Seattle. But coach Jared Bednar successfully challenged the short-handed tally — a move that seemed to turn things around for Colorado, which scored the next five goals to win 5-1. Instead of losing their third straight game, the Avalanche looked like the team that rolled through the postseason in 2021-22. They will try to … more
