The Memphis Grizzlies are currently on the up and up. In fact, they have won five games in a row bridging 2022 and 2023. As such, they have shot up to a tie with the Denver Nuggets for No. 1 overall in the Western Conference with a 25-13 win-loss record. They are a game ahead […]

It seems like reality has finally bitten the Utah Jazz. After a strong start to their 2022-23 NBA campaign, the Jazz now tote a 19-21 win-loss record. Keep in mind that at one point this season, the Jazz were actually the top team in the Western Conference. Now, they have lost five of their last […]

The Atlanta Hawks are treading water right now in the 2022-23 NBA season. At 18-20, they don’t have a winning record as of this writing, but they’re still among the top ten teams in the Eastern Conference. Right now, the Hawks find themselves 1.5 games behind the Miami Heat and a game ahead of the […]

The Toronto Raptors are not in a very good spot right now. They presently sit outside the top ten teams in the Eastern Conference. They are, in fact, dead last in the Atlantic Division with a disappointing 16-22 win-loss slate. There’s just really no reason why this squad should be performing as badly as they […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have not looked scary during the past two weeks. That should change in Week 18 as they welcome back Jalen Hurts and finish the regular season with a win over the New York Giants. Remember that the Giants are already in the postseason, and there’s no objectively strong motivation for them to […]

Who’s afraid of the Miami Dolphins? If we asked that question back in Week 12, we would probably have quite a few teams saying “yes.” Not now, though. The Dolphins have lost their last five games. They have gone from a near-sure-thing in the AFC playoffs to being on the brink of being eliminated from […]

The Green Bay Packers are putting the fear in a lot of playoff-bound teams. That’s because Aaron Rodgers & Co. have won four games in a row. As such, they’re on the verge of qualifying for the NFC postseason despite carrying a 4-8 record just several weeks ago. Before the Packers get ahead of themselves, […]

The San Francisco 49ers are the hottest team in the NFL right now. They are also arguably the most dangerous, having strung together nine wins in a row. They look invincible, and they have a shot at maybe even stealing the top seed in the NFC. To do that, the Niners need several things to […]

The Cleveland Browns already eliminated the Washington Commanders from playoff contention last week. They can eliminate another team this coming weekend if they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18 on the road. The Steelers need this win to stay alive for a playoff berth, but the Browns would be all too happy to kick […]

USC football was equal parts shocked, stunned, bamboozled, and mortified after they lost to the Tulane Green Wave in the 2023 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, 46-45. The Trojans had their hearts broken after witnessing a thrilling fourth-quarter rally from Tulane. The Green Wave came storming back from 15 points down with under five minutes left […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are on a roll right now, and it could not come at a better time. They have won five of their last six games. That includes stringing together four victories in a row. Dating back to Week 14, the Chargers have looked really good. They beat the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, […]

The San Francisco 49ers are the hottest team in the NFL and perhaps the most dangerous team right now heading into the NFL Playoffs. The 49ers have won nine straight games and have not lost dating back to the end of October. Even without their No. 1 and No. 2 QBs, the Niners are just […]

The Baltimore Ravens failed to build on their Week 16 win over the Atlanta Falcons as they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-13, at home in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. Baltimore held a lead at halftime, but the Ravens allowed 10 unanswered points from the Steelers in the fourth quarter. Baltimore was […]

The Las Vegas Raiders followed up their Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with another heartbreaking defeat. The Raiders notched their tenth defeat of the season after losing to the San Francisco 49ers, 37-34, in overtime at home in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. Las Vegas held a double-digit lead at one […]

The Miami Dolphins’ disappointing losing slump refuses to end. Without star QB Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins dropped their fifth straight game, losing to the New England Patriots, 23-21, on the road in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season. This loss pulled the Dolphins down to 8-8, which places them in a four-way tie for […]

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 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 […]
