NCAAF Championship Week Predictions

This is going to be a lot of fun.  All the P5 title games look to be tight affairs, with Clemson as the only clear favorite.  Lots of potential for chaos though.


NFL Week 13 Predictions

Week 13 could be a very pivotal week for several playoff races.  The Saints face a tough divisional game, while the Eagles travel to one of the better NFC teams in the league.  The Viking and Falcons both fight for their own playoff seeding, while in the AFC the Chiefs desperately need a win to keep their hopes in the West alive.

NFL Week 13 Power Rankings

A new team at the top!  The Saints stumble in LA was enough to give the Eagles the slight edge.  All in all the top 5 teams are basically all even, but Im not as certain with the rest of the top 10.  I think a lot of noise from the beginning of the season is still helping them out.

NCAAF Championship Week Power Rankings

A wild weekend in college football produces weirdness in the rankings.  Penn  State and Ohio State have basically smashed all of their opponents, except when they've lost.  Then they've been bad.  The program though sees them playing at a very high level against a majority of teams and rewards them for that. 

My prediction for the Playoff Top 4 before championship weekend will be Wisconsin at 1, Clemson at 2, Auburn at 3 and Oklahoma at 4.  5 I think is likely to be Alabama, with Georgia and Ohio State at 6 and 7.  Miami I think falls all the way to 8, and does not have a shot at the playoffs unless the blank Clemson this weekend.

NFL Week 12 Predictions

Happy Early Thanksgiving!  The early Thursday game might be the best matchup of the weekend, while the Sunday slate features a bunch of games that should be close. 


NFL Week 12 Power Rankings

The NFC continues to look like the most dominate conference, with 6 of the top 10 spots.  The Chiefs have looked a bit lifeless lately, which will likely continue so I can see them dropping out entirely.  The Ravens get a big boost in the numbers by just how badly they beat the Packers, so I would not expect them to hang in the top 15.
