Here are all our advanced numbers from Super Bowl LII. As you can imagine, the offensive numbers are pretty high. The Patriots end up with the higher DVOA, but that's not how games get decided.
The skeleton key in New England's offense, Gronk is a matchup nightmare for any defense -- and an especially difficult opponent for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia's offensive line wasn't perfect against Minnesota, but did enough to lead the Eagles to an NFC championship -- and there's reason to believe they'll be even more effective in the Super Bowl.
The Patriots won't necessarily need a big game from Tom Brady to win the Super Bowl -- but the Eagles absolutely will need one from Nick Foles.
Your Audibles crew passes comment on Day Two of the 2018 NFL Draft, including a spirited debate on Mason Rudolph and what he can bring to Pittsburgh.
Another year, another Alabama championship. Is it a good thing for the sport of college football that one program is so dominant over its competition?
Replacing starter Jalen Hurts, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagavailoa threw a 41-yard walk-off touchdown pass to fellow freshman DeVonta Smith on second-and-26 in overtime for yet another Alabama championship.
Most expected Georgia to face Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. We're finally getting that matchup, but the stakes are even higher than anticipated.
Wow, an underdog upset the Steelers? Get out of town -- then, head to New England, for the AFC Championship Game.
Most NFL conversation in April focused around the draft, but there was still time for the Dalai Lama, varmint tracking, sneakers, inappropriate funeral proceedings, and making fun of nerds.
As the calendar turns to April, we're proud to introduce the first ever Football Outsiders On-Line Mock Draft. Using our full range of analytical tools, we predict the entire first round, complete with trades, surprises, and everything else that makes the draft special.

The Rams and Jaguars finally turned their young talent into playoff berths in 2017. Cleveland looks to be taking over the mantle for "team of the future." Also: Buffalo's wild turnover and the youngest secondary in eight years.

The Jaguars and Titans both won playoff games last year. Are the days of this division being the NFL's laughingstock over? Maybe not -- all four clubs failed to address critical weaknesses in the draft.

While the Steelers need pass-rushers, everyone else in this division needs more blockers. The Browns in particular face the difficult task of replacing a Hall of Fame left tackle in Joe Thomas.

While the Rams added gobs of talent to their interior line and secondary, do they have enough pass-rushing to win a Super Bowl? The 49ers also need pass-rushers, while the Cardinals need a corner and the Seahawks -- as always -- need offensive linemen.

The Panthers need blockers, the Saints need a tight end, and the Bucs need safeties (as usual). In Atlanta, meanwhile, the players seem to be in place, but can the coaching staff overcome struggles of the past?

While most of the teams in this division could use better blockers and/or receivers, the Bears remain in dire need of playmakers in the defensive backfield.

With the draft behind us, NFL rosters won't see many big changes between now and opening day. We start our look at each team's biggest remaining need in the NFC East, where Dallas needs offense, New York and Washington need defense, and Philly needs a punter.
