Okay, I know I’m a little late with this as we are through Game 1 in every playoff series (I am typing this up in the middle of the Minnesota/Denver Game 1). So I’m going to cheat a little bit, but also, I made this bracket before the playoffs started and so these are my… Read More 2023 NBA Playoff Predictions
Let’s just start with some of the news that has been breaking over the past few days: Atlanta will be the host of the AFC Championship game if it’s Bills vs. Chiefs. I don’t like it. Those are two cold-weather, outdoor stadium teams. Why put them in a dome? It would be a fun game… Read More Super Wild Card Weekend Bonanza: Predictions for All 6 Games, Draft and Free Agency Thoughts, Super Bowl Prediction
Notable action from week 11 Bama is winning games on pure talent alone. Nick Saban, Bill O’Brien and Pete Golding are not outcoaching anyone. Looking just at power five opponents, and excluding Vanderbilt, who has Saban outcoached?

After a wild Rivalry Weekend, the conference championships games are all set for next weekend: Notably, we see no Ohio State, no Clemson and no Oklahoma. It has been quite a crazy year. As far as the playoff goes, there is only one conference championship game that can be safely classified as “Win-and-In,” and that’s… Read More College Football Championship Saturday is Set: Georgia-Bama Towers Above All Other Games
The college football world has been consumed with talk about Ohio State-Michigan all week. And rightly so: it’s the biggest game of the year to this point. We have not yet seen two teams each ranked this high square off in a conference game. Most of the talk has been from the perspective of Michigan:… Read More Ohio State-Michigan Deep Dive: Will Michigan’s Star Edge Rushers Make the Difference?
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the 2021 college football season, but here we are. College football schedules are typically back-loaded, though, meaning the biggest and best games of the season are saved for the end. While we have already seen some heavyweight non-conference bouts, like Georgia-Clemson and Oregon-Ohio State, most of the… Read More College Football Mid-Season Report: The Stats That Will Decide “Who’s In”
