Happy New Year! As we tip off the first week of 2023, there have been some shake-ups in the Week 12 NBA Power Rankings. While the Brooklyn Nets remain on top to start 2023, the New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, and Washington Wizards have all moved up in the rankings, and the […]

The Carolina Panthers could not sustain momentum from last week’s win over the Detroit Lions as they fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-24, in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. This loss solidified the Panthers’ exit from playoff contention and handed the NFC South to the Buccaneers, who are now officially in the […]

The Washington Commanders went from seventh place in the NFC to getting eliminated from playoff contention after they dropped the ball against the underachieving Cleveland Browns, 24-10, in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. Just a few weeks ago, the Commanders carried a 7-5-1 record and needed at least one win to further secure […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. They have won seven straight games and have the inside track to wrap up the AFC North division. They also just finished off a two-game road trip with back-to-back wins at Tampa Bay and New England. Now they will try to […]

Back in Week 11, the Atlanta Falcons were still in contention for the playoffs. That’s no longer the case after they lost their fourth game in a row last week, 17-9, to the Baltimore Ravens. They are hoping to somehow end their season on a bright note, and they can start by snapping their slump […]

The Los Angeles Rams are hitting some high notes of late. They are coming off a surprisingly dominant win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16, 51-14. They have also won two of their last three games. The Rams are hoping to build on that as they try to win the Battle of Los Angeles […]

The Baltimore Ravens are going to the playoffs. It’s quite the achievement for a team that has not had the services of star quarterback Lamar Jackson since December 5. The Ravens have actually done quite well with Tyler Huntley at QB. They won three of their last four games, including their latest victory over the […]

The Cleveland Browns are not going to the playoffs. It’s a rather disappointing outcome for a team loaded with talent. And yet, it’s also not that surprising considering the roller-coaster ride this franchise has endured in the past few months. A week after besting division rivals Baltimore, the Browns underwhelmed last week against the New […]

The Kansas City Chiefs just keep on winning. They outclassed the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 to book their third straight win. They enter this weekend as heavy favorites against an embattled Denver Broncos squad that cannot seem to sort itself out. Kansas City and Denver collide at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 17, with the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles fell short in Week 16 as Jalen Hurts sat out their game against the Dallas Cowboys. They enter this weekend with a big target on their backs but perhaps even a bigger question mark. Their three most potent offensive weapons are questionable for this game, and that might put them on the […]

The Minnesota Vikings continue to be underrated. They enter this game underdogs. That’s despite coming from back-to-back wins over the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants. The Vikings have also won four of their last five games. Now at 12-3, the Vikings have officially clinched the top spot in the NFC North and are just […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are performing much better this year than they did last season. If we’re being honest, they’re actually playing better than expected. The Blazers currently have a win-loss record of 18-16. That puts them right in the thick of the playoff race in the Western Conference. In fact, the Blazers are currently […]

The Indiana Pacers are performing far better than virtually everyone anticipated. In fact, they currently have a win-loss record of 18-17. With that slate, the Pacers are tied for sixth in the Eastern Conference with the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat. As of this writing, the Pacers have also won three of their […]

The Denver Nuggets are in a pretty good spot right now. They presently sit at the top of the Western Conference with a 22-11 win-loss record. They are currently one game ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans for the West’s top seed. The Nuggets have also won their last five games as of this writing. […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are not in a very good spot right now. They are presently ranked 11th in the Western Conference with a 16-18 record. They are currently behind the Golden State Warriors for the last play-in berth. The Timberwolves have also lost their last three games as of this writing. Suffice it to say […]

The TCU Horned Frogs will face off against the Michigan Wolverines in the 2022 College Football Playoff at the State Farm Stadium. The Horned Frogs are the underdogs in this matchup, as the Wolverines have a strong and successful football program. However, TCU football will no doubt be determined to put up a fight and […]

The College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl will feature a matchup between the Michigan Wolverines and the TCU Horned Frogs. Both teams have had successful seasons and will be looking to finish strong with a win in this highly anticipated bowl game to advance to the National Championship Game. Michigan football, led by head coach Jim […]

Both teams have had successful seasons and are looking to win in this prestigious bowl game and advance to the National Championship Game. The Bulldogs, led by head coach Kirby Smart, have […]

The Washington Wizards are not in a very good spot right now. They are presently ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 13-21 record. They are currently tied with the Orlando Magic. And while the Magic have won eight of their last 10 games, the Wizards have gone in the complete opposite direction. Washington […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers built on their Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers by defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, 13-10, at home in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. It was the Steelers’ fourth win in their last five games, enabling them to stay alive for the 2023 NFL Playoffs. Pittsburgh trailed at halftime […]

The Baltimore Ravens bounced back from a Week 15 loss by upending the Atlanta Falcons, 17-9, at home in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. It was the Ravens’ third win in their last four games with Lamar Jackson sidelined by injury. Baltimore had fewer passing yards in this game, but they compensated with […]

The Kansas City Chiefs notched their third straight win after a big win over the Seattle Seahawks, 24-10, at home in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. It was the Chiefs’ eighth win in their last nine games. Kansas City had fewer total yards than the Seahawks, but the Chiefs were more efficient. They […]

The Arizona Cardinals failed to halt their skid after they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 19-16, in overtime at home in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. It was the Cardinals’ fifth loss in a row. They have not notched a win since Week 10 when they beat the Los Angeles Rams. Backup […]

This union between Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos has not been good. It has quite the opposite, been very bad. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, in the Broncos’ win-loss record. The Broncos currently have a dismal 4-11 record, which is better than just one team in the AFC, the […]

The New York Giants failed to build on their Week 15 win over the Washington Commanders after they fell to the Minnesota Vikings, 27-24, on the road in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. The Giants were flagged for seven penalties in the game in addition to two key turnovers. Those miscues negated their […]

We now have a better idea of which teams will advance to the playoffs and which ones are still in contention after Week 16’s AFC matchups are over. The NFC playoff […]

The Miami Dolphins continued to tumble down the playoff ladder after they lost to the Green Bay Packers, 26-20, at home in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season. Star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw three interceptions in this game even as the Dolphins failed to score after halftime. Miami had more yardage than the Packers […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not had a good past few weeks. They have lost three of their last four games and enter Week 16 just barely clinging on to the top spot in the NFC South at 6-8. They are on the heels of a 34-23 beatdown courtesy of the Cincinnati Bengals. Should the […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are right smack in the middle of the AFC playoff race after they have notched back-to-back wins.

The Philadelphia Eagles have the No. 1 win-loss record in the entire NFL, but they are strangely seen as the underdogs in this game. Philly is off a closer-than-expected win over the New York Giants, 25-20, in Week 15. The Eagles are aiming for outright winning their division and clinching the top seed in the […]

The San Francisco 49ers are riding high on a seven-game winning streak after they beat the Seattle Seahawks, 21-13, on the road in Week 15. At 10-4, the 49ers still have a shot at stealing either the No. 2 or even the No. 1 spot in the NFC. They can move up in the standings […]
