Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk.

Stop that Hype Train! Tre'Quan Smith

Generally, rookie wide receivers need to hit 500 receiving yards to have a realistic chance at going on to having a relevant career.

NFL Preseason and Training Camp Fallers

The NFL preseason is rife with hyperbole. Countless players report in "the best shape of their career." Unheralded rookies "really stand out" in training camp without pads. Coaches talk up almost every player on the roster. While that's all good and well, there are also players who struggle with injuries, inconsistency, and competition. The red […]
