NFL Week 16 Power Rankings

 Here we are. There are two weeks left in the season for teams to solidify their seeding in the playoffs and for players to finish off their regular seasons with positive momentum heading into the playoffs or the offseason. This is the last of our monthly power rankings, where we give our thoughts on who the best players and teams are in the NFL, as well as where our current award ballots would fall. Rankings not only take into account current form, but the season as a whole. These are our final power rankings before the end of the regular season!

    Do you hate the bears or something? Ben Johnson not on coach of the year list is laughable.(Most injuries in league and still kings of the North) Bears not a 10 team when we beat the Eagles… I get they won the superbowl but that’s last year. Also broncos above Jag’s after jags just beat them. Do you post this list so people can fix it intentionally? Finally Breece Hall on top ten RB list is like smokin crack with your Grandma… you got more problems then 1.

    Lastly, get Mahomes off the week 16 power ranking he’s done for the year. Give Caleb the respect he deserves. Nick Bonitto or Will Anderson Jr should be after (either one should be on that list) Miles Garrett easy #1. Ben Johnson should be on your list for COTY. SUGGESTIONS: add comeback player of the year.

Final NBA Mock Draft! (w/Trades)

The NBA Finals have concluded, the Oklahoma City Thunder are your 2025 NBA Champions! This means it is officially full steam ahead for the draft. This is my final mock of this draft cycle. Comment below your thoughts, who you want to see your team draft, and where you want to see certain prospects land! Trades* Thunder x Lakers x Nets OKC: Acquire Cam Johnson, #21 from BKN BKN: Acquire Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, #15 from OKC / Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, 2026 1st round swap best, 2030 1st round swap best from LAL LAL: Acquire Nic Claxton, #36 from BKN Nets x 76ers BKN: Acquire #3 PHI: Acquire #8 and #19 1. Dallas Mavericks: Cooper Flagg, F, Duke The Mavericks get the perfect piece. Flagg can play and learn with their established, veteran group, while maintaining championship aspirations. 2. San Antonio Spurs: Dylan Harper, PG, Rutgers The Spurs ignore the argument that Harper is not a great fit with the current roster. Harper is the second best prospect in this class by far. 6'6...

March Madness Preview!

 It's the best time of the year! We are hours removed from Selection Sunday and now have had some time to sit and think about the bracket and what some of the things that the committee revealed they valued are. In this post I am going to do a breakdown of each region and some of my initial thoughts and predictions about the bracket. Comment your thoughts, matchups you are looking forward to, and what players you are excited to watch!  It's March! SOUTH REGION OVERALL THOUGHTS The path to the Final Four seems to be relatively easy for the top two seeds, Auburn and Michigan State. I do not see many teams being a true threat to either of those teams right now. Some people worry about Auburn dropping 3 of their last 4, but those are all losses to other Sweet 16 type teams and it is never a good idea to bet against Izzo in March. North Carolina does not deserve to be in the tournament. Simply put their resume was not good enough with a 1-12 Q1 record. However, I do actually see a p...

Mock Draft 2.0: Post March Madness!

The college basketball season has sadly come to an end. That means we are officially moving towards the NBA playoffs and offseason. While there is much to change with the transfer portal and whatever happens in the NBA postseason, it is still a fun exercise to think about what prospects can help NBA teams and look at who helped their stock the most in March. Please comment what prospects you may be higher or lower and who you want your team to draft!  Lottery odds simulated via Tankathon* 1. Washington Wizards: Cooper Flagg, F, Duke The Wizards add one of the best prospects we've seen in recent history. Flagg will be the gem of their already intriguing young core. 2. Brooklyn Nets: Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers The Nets finally add a blue chip prospect to build their roster around. Harper is the clear #2 prospect in this class to me and has All-Star upside. 3: New Orleans Pelicans: VJ Edgecombe, G, Baylor The Pelicans look to add to their backcourt. Edgecombe looks to fill in as the eve...
