The College football playoff rankings were revealed for the first time last night. The only surprise in my opinion was Notre Dame. Here are my thoughts on the rankings and week 9 in college football. 1.I know the Irish haters out there don’t think Notre Dame should be in the college football playoff but i respectfully disagree.

By Nicholas Billy I pick the two top rookies of the week and the two rookies who didn’t do so hot. When critiquing them, I don’t look at the result of the game unless I am using it as a tiebreaker. Good Deshaun Watson QB Houston Texans- Being a rookie and facing the Legion on the road could be a recipe for disaster but not for Watson. He went 19…
Week 8 was overshadowed by a flurry of trades that took place on Monday night and Tuesday. Here are my thoughts on the week that was in the NFL. 1. I have a feeling Ezekiel Elliott will play this week despite his suspension being reinstated on Monday night. Somehow, he will get another stay by the end of the week. 2.

Los Angles boasts one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. They will give the Patriots depleted defense all they can handle. Here are five keys for the Patriots in this game. 1. Back Ups Defensively Must Step Up:…
by Jared Leonard Week 8 With a lot of byes this week, no need to panic. There are still great options and matchups to exploit. Quarterbacks Quarterback is affordable, making it easy to pay up at other positions. Dak Prescott- Great matchup against a banged up Redskins defense. Russel Wilson- Seahawks can’t run the football, that means it’s all Russ. Plus, he historically plays better at home. Favorite play of the week. Andy…
Six teams are on a bye this week in the NFL. Here is this week’s schedule and my picks using the spread and the over/under. 9:30 ET Minnesota -9.5 Cleveland(At London) 38: The Vikings have an opportunity to pad their lead in the NFC with a win today.

Friday, October 27 Tulane (-11) at No. 24 Memphis: Memphis is…

He is also one of the team’s most important leaders. So, how…
