NFL Predictions Week 15 2019

Not a lot of close matchups this week.  The Cowboys have a must win game against a Rams team that is finding a stride.  The Lions have to get a game against the Bucs if they want to salvage this season as well.

NFL Power Power Rankings Week 15 2019

Not much change near the top as the NFL reaches its last 3 weeks.  The Titans have slowly crept their way up behind the play of Ryan Tannehill.  The Ravens keep rolling and the Niners won a nailbiter against the Saints.

NFL Predictions Week 14 2019

One of the biggest games this week is Bears and Cowboys, to see if Dallas can maintain their division lead over the Eagles.  Pats and Chiefs will also be a battle for whomever gets that other first round bye, assuming the Ravens stay where they are at the head of the pack.

The Ravens have taken the top slot now in the league, after a very exciting tight game with the Niners.  The Pats continue to remain near the top but have had seen the gap between themselves and the Chiefs shrink.

College Football Power Rankings Championship Week

The final power rankings for the 2019 regular season.  A season that has flown by far too quickly. I'll likely do a retrospective next week of teams that the program liked a lot and where they ended up, and teams that surprised the preseason projections.

College Football Championship Week Predictions 2019

We're here to some of the final games before Bowl season as the college season winds to an end.  We get a couple of rematches of recent games with Memphis and Cinncy, and OU- Baylor sparring again.  I'm not certain why but the program has really disliked UAB all season long.
