Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Taste! Holy crap in a pita! That was the best weekend of football games I've ever seen! Let's go in order, as they got progressively better as the weekend went on. First up was the Cincinnati/Tennessee game. It was a tight, defensive struggle all game long (Tenessee managed nine sacks against…

Lakers (#19), who are really struggling this year. LeBron James had been to 9 of the last 11 Finals for 3 different teams before this year. He won 4 of them (2 with Miami, 1 with Cleveland, and…
The Wild Card week had some great games and some of the games were real stinkers. I picked 5 of 6 of the games correctly last week. So, that pretty much means Im out of correct picks for the season. Regardless, we must proceed. Bengals (10th) @ Titans (5th) - TitansIm not surprised that the Bengals won in the wildcard round. The Raiders provided…

Wild card week is over and we are moving on to the divisional round. Sorry, "super wild card week", 'cause now we have six teams, which is super, not like four, which is nothing. Not sure we can officially call…

Week 13 is here and the top 2 remain well clear of the field, although Memphis is making a run after winning eleven in a row.

You Know Nothing, Stemshul Well, I def doomed the Browns and Football team with my late season picks. Not to mention the Ravens, Chargers and Colts. Basically, I had no idea what was going on in the AFC. Raiders (9th) @ Bengals (13th) - RaidersBoth of these teams have been super streaky. The Bengals snuck into the playoffs by winning the North after a…

Stemshul will have predictions on the match-ups coming up, but I will look back at the events of the weekend to see who blew it and who aced it. The good stuff first: Who got it together when…

They actually got off to a quick start this year. After getting to 9-4 under new coach Jason Kidd, who won a title in Dallas in 2011, the Mavs began to struggle, falling to 12-13.…

The penultimate week of the regular season is in the books, and it looks like Green Bay is the best team in the league. They've opened up a sizable gap on #2 Tampa and have the hapless (but optimistic) Lions next week. Who…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Ok, so I was wrong about resuming regular service this week, but it was another holiday weekend, so cut me some slack. The top two remain the same, this time with the Warriors bumping up to #1. Utah is separating from the chase pack, getting a little closer to the leaders…
