The Moose is Loose's Week 10 NFL Power Rankings

Photo Credit: Sports Illustrated

Entering Week 9 of the 2021 NFL Season, near the halfway point of the season, there still many, many questions to be answered and many playoff seeding yet to be determined. Week to week, anything can happen on any given Sunday. Sunday, November 8 had to have been the most wild, chaotic, jaw-dropping day of NFL football in recent memory. The 6-1 Dallas Cowboys overlooked their underdog opponent, the 4-4 Denver Broncos at home, unraveling on both sides of the ball in a 30-16 shocking upset. Dallas still will end up winning the NFC East(because of how pathetic the other three teams are), but they have to just put this one behind them and be ready to bounce back stronger against Atlanta, who once again blew another big 3^rd Quarter lead but rallied in the end to win on a walk-off field goal in New Orleans, 27-25. On Sunday Night Football, the Derrick Henry-less Tennessee Titans, led by Ryan Tannehill, AJ Brown, Julio Jones, and their improving defense, went into SoFi Stadium and laid waste to the Super Bowl LVI host team, the L.A. Rams, 28-16 to improve to 6-2. Matthew Stafford and company had no idea what was coming to them.

In Jacksonville, it was a battle of two players named Josh Allen: the Buffalo Bills QB and the Jaguars DE. In the end, it was Jacksonville’s playmaking, pass rusher who came out victorious- 9-6 was the final. Another rough, rough day for the Bills’ offense. Don’t look now, but the New England Patriots are coming for the AFC East division crown, only a half-game back on the loss column. Mac Jones should be Offensive Rookie of the Year when this season’s over, and Bill Belichick has to be in the running for Coach of the Year once again.

This week's power rankings aren't going to last the rest of the season, by any means. The fight for the Super Bowl is on. Here are my Week 10 rankings based on this week's results:

Moose is Loose 2021 NHL Season Predictions: Golden Knights over Islanders in 7

Photo Credit: ESPN The 2021-22 NHL season has officially dropped the puck and taken the ice. This will be a season that will be like no other, thanks in large part to the new TV deal made by ESPN and Turner Sports. Hockey fans will get to see their favorite teams get more exposure and publicity. More coverage, more attention, more ratings, and hopefully more excitement. Another major headline heading into this season was the debut of the NHL's new expansion franchise, the Seattle Kraken. Seattle, like the Vegas Golden Knights of 2018, look to start off with a bang and make a deep run at the Stanley Cup. Who will be hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup this Summer? Will Tampa Bay three-peat? Or will a new team rise to the occasion? Here's a look at my picks for the 2021 NHL season: Division Winners: Lightning, Islanders, Avalanche, Golden Knights Wild Cards: Bruins, Hurricanes, Oilers, Blues Stanley Cup: Golden Knights over Islanders in 7 Trophy Winners: ...

Photo Credit: Sports Illustrated Week 1 of the 2023 College Football regular season may have concluded on Labor Day, but there were no shortage of surprising results from the four-day weekend slate of games. To start, the new look Colorado Buffaloes, under first year head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, a team that went 1-11 in the Pac-12 last season and will be moving back to the Big 12 effective next season, went into Fort Worth, TX and upset the National Championship runner-up TCU Horned Frogs, 45-42, in a high-flying scoring shoot-out. The Buffaloes were heavy underdogs coming into this game, and all eyes were on Coach Prime and what his team could bring to the table. Sheddur Sanders, the coach's son, and Travis Hunter, both transfers from Jackson State, BALLED out in the shocking victory. If Coach Prime was going to bring the glory days back to Boulder, Colorado and that program, he certainly started it off with a bang. Elsewhere, in a highly ...

The Moose is Loose 2021-22 NBA Season Predictions

Photo Credit: Yahoo! Finally! After a year in which the Milwaukee Bucks defied expectations and a year in which we did not see superstars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, or Kawhi Leonard reach the NBA Finals, the 2021-22 NBA season tips-off tonight, with a very appealing, must-see doubleheader on TNT. After tough losses early on in the playoffs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets look to bounce back stronger than ever and make runs to an NBA title. KD, along with James Harden, will have to step up more and more and stay even more focused with everything going on with teammate Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, King James, along with a Lakers roster featuring new star Russell Westbrook, look to shake off a very disappointing first-round playoff exit to the Phoenix Suns. While Brooklyn and L.A. are the prohibited favorites to meet in June, don't sleep on the Philadelphia 76ers or the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, both ...

The Moose is Loose's Week 4 College Football Power Rankings

Photo Credit: Sports Illustrated Week 3 of the 2021 college football season is in the books, and once again, did not disappoint. Two of college football's perennial powers, Alabama and Clemson, struggled against conference rivals but found ways to hold on and win. Virginia Tech, gaining momentum from their upset win over North Carolina in Chapel Hill, proceeded to go on the road and lose to unranked West Virginia. UCLA, feeling strong about their chances to make it into the CFP, badly disappointed themselves and their fans at home, losing to Mountain West opponent Fresno State 40-37.The Top 25 rankings got a major wake up call this week. Michigan State played their way into the poll rankings with their win over 24th-ranked Miami. And let's not forget about non-Group of 5 conference football program Liberty. They have proven a very tough, confident FBS team. Here are my Top 25 power rankings following last Saturday's outcomes. Who am I leaving off that you feel deserve...

The Moose is Loose Week 4 NFL Power Rankings

Photo Credit: Sports Illustrated Week 3 of the NFL season proved to be even more unpredictable than the first two weeks. The Ravens, thanks to an uncalled delay of game penalty and a historically insane 66-yard field goal from Justin Tucker, survived an upset scare from the Lions. Justin Herbert outplayed Patrick Mahomes in a battle between two AFC West rivals, with the L.A. Chargers stunning the heavily favored Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, 30-24. Kansas City finds themselves in unfamiliar territory: last place in the division. The Steelers, another playoff team from last season, found themselves on the wrong end of an AFC North dominating effort, shockingly falling at home to Joe Burrow and the surprising Cincinnati Bengals. The LA Rams, led by star QB Matt Stafford and superstar defensive lineman Aaron Donald, knocked of Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, 34-24. Expect both teams to see each o...
