New England Patriots
The New England Patriots really had their depth put to the test last season after some injuries left them vulnerable at many key positions. Those trials and tribulations have given the team a good idea of where they need to improve entering this season, and they certainly won’t be looking for project players with an aging Tom Brady in tow.
NY Jets
The New York Jets were written off by many a year ago, but the team had a strong season with some big wins, finishing the year at .500. This season, the team looks to better that mark, and they spent some money in free agency to help achieve that goal.
Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are coming off another disappointing season, and enter this year’s draft with some major holes to fill. The team’s brain trust of general manager Doug Whaley and head coach Doug Marrone proved right off the bat that they aren’t afraid to go off the board, selecting EJ Manuel in the first round a year ago.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins certainly won free agency a year ago, but the team is now feeling some pressure after a disappointing .500 season. They enter this year’s draft with some major needs along the offensive line, though their 19th overall selection could make that tricky to fill.
NBA Picks Washington vs Indiana
In a strange twist it was Washington that made quick work of their opponent in their round 1 series. Meanwhile even though Indiana ultimately put away Atlanta, they certainly did not look like a top team in the process.
San Antonio vs Portland Odds
The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers have survived Round 1, and now the two will face off in the Western Conference Semifinals. The two franchises have faced off in the postseason three times (San Antonio leads the series 2-1) with the 1999 Western Conference Finals being the most recent.
LA vs OKC Odds
The 2014 NBA playoffs have been anything but a breeze for the Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Now the two will face off in what could very well be the most entertaining series of the entire second round.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos had a great season until they ran into a buzzsaw in the form of the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions experienced another terrible second half and missed the playoffs in an NFC North that was ripe for the taking.
Minnesota Vikings
Without a doubt this franchise needs a quarterback. Drafting in the 8 spot they should have a chance to get one of the top prospects at the position but so far it has not been clear in which way they might be leaning.
St. Louis Rams

The St. Louis Rams enter the 2014 season in a familiar spot – with a top three draft pick and with added expectation that they will finally improve after years of disappointment.

NHL Playoffs – Pittsburgh vs N.Y. Picks
The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers certainly aren’t strangers, and the teams will face off in the second round of the postseason, just their first postseason meeting since way back in 2008. In that series, the Penguins made quick work of the Rangers en route to the Stanley Cup Final.
