NFL Predictions Week 9 2019

A few lopsided games, but overall it should be a pretty tight week.  There's some high variance as the Bengals and Broncos both start new QBs.  I do think one area where the program is shorting teams is Seattle, who should probably be a bit further ahead of the Bucs.  I'll also be very excited to see how the Ravens fair against the Pats at home.

NFL Power Rankings Week 9 2019

This has been the highest variance season I can remember for the NFL.  The Falcons were absolutely lifeless a week ago, and here they lose by just a TD to the Seahawks.  The Broncos have lost three games on last second field goals that they could easily have won.  The Cowboys have been up and down.  The power rankings reflect that a bit I think, as there is roughly a field goal's worth difference between the Panthers and Broncos, while there is almost 40 point difference between the Niners and Dolphins.  The top are the top, and the rest is muddled.

College Football Predictions Week 10 2019

There are a couple of outstanding P5 matchups this week, as USC hosts Oregon and Georgia tries to get everything righted in the Cocktail Party against Florida.  In the G5, SMU goes on the road to Memphis with their perfect record on the line for control of the American. Willy Taggert also looks to save himself by beating a limping Canes squad.
