NFL Picks: The powerful AFC North on display in Week 10 as Cleveland visits Baltimore

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 21:50:24 GMT

Around the AFCThe North remembers. The best division in football is the AFC North. At the halfway mark, all four teams would be in the playoffs and three enter Week 10 at 5-3. The other is 7-2 Baltimore. Something’s got to give this weekend, though, as the Ravens host Cleveland in a game featuring maybe the two best defenses in football. Myles Garrett is putting together a dominant season for the Browns. The Ravens are loaded. Can Baltimore’s star quarterback Lamar Jackson be the difference?Wilson’s woes. The Jets made a call to stick with Zach Wilson when Aaron Rodgers got hurt in Week 1 and, half a season later, it’s not looking good. New York’s latest brutal offensive outing came Monday night in a 27-6 loss to the Chargers. That followed three straight wins, to be fair, but the Jets’ terrific defense is doing the heavy lifting. Nathaniel Hackett’s offense, meanwhile, is averaging 16.5 points per game (No. 30 in the NFL) and ranks No. 31 in EPA/play.Now vs. next. Two teams that de...

He was sacked four times for 41 yards, bringing his season sack total to 46 for an FBS-worst 422 yards. Even though he toughed it out against OSU and didn’t miss a snap, his leg injury is clearly affecting his mobility and downfield accuracy. There’s no quick fix, but CU must find a way to keep him from taking big shots.Play-calling controversy: CU named Pat Shurmur co-offensive coordinator last week, and handed the ex-Broncos OC the play-calling reins prior to the loss to OSU. While the Buffs’ offense finally showed some life in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, ...

Opinion: Two conservationists — a radical and a rancher — shook up the West with the same goal

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 21:50:24 GMT

The West lost two larger-than-life conservationists this year, and while I considered both friends, they couldn’t have been more different. Yet both were radical in their own ways.One was ranching reformer Sid Goodloe, the other the activist and “monkey-wrencher” Dave Foreman. Each changed the way we think about this region.Goodloe, who was almost 93 when he died, bought a badly abused ranch in El Capitan, New Mexico, in 1956. Restoring it to health became a project that lasted nearly 7 decades.Taking his young family to Africa to learn traditional livestock techniques set him on a new land management path. There he met Allan Savory who showed him the wisdom of short-duration, rotational grazing. Once home, Goodloe got Savory invited to range management schools to teach the rest of the West how to restore abused land. He also realized something surprising: His ranch had once been a savannah grassland.Goodloe practiced “restorative ranching” long before there was such a term. He won ...
