If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 16

By John ⋅ December 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just one week remains in the season. And while the AFC field is set (with the division winners’ seedings still to be determined), the NFC still has a bit to be determined. Just four spots have been claimed in the NFC, just two of those divisions. The NFC East race remains the most exciting scenario, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 7

By John ⋅ December 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Coming up on the end of the year, no one’s really separating themselves from the pack. The races for both #8 seeds are logjams. The West’s race for #1 continues to be a revolving door. Slides and rises continue to run rampant across the NBA, so let’s look at what would happen if the playoffs [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 15

Just two games remain for each NFL team. Seven teams have clinched spots so far, five of them division leaders. Both Wildcard races are still filled with suspense, especially in the NFC, where five teams in two divisions are 8-6. The playoff picture is starting to take shape, but plenty could still be overthrown in [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 6

Six weeks in now, and there’s still plenty to fight for. Neither #1 is at all safe, nor is any #8. Divisions, standings and everything else in the NBA is routinely getting tossed around without a moment to rest. With such volatility afoot, let’s look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 14

By John ⋅ December 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just three games remain for each team, and the season is only getting better. Both #1 seeds took a step back, further empowering those teams chasing them. The Wildcard spots are still very much up for grabs, as are plenty of the divisions. Only four spots have been locked up so far (three of them [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 5

By John ⋅ December 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re now in December, and the NBA races are still as close as ever. Both #1s are still very close. The teams continue to endlessly jostle at the bottom of the playoff standings. Even Washington finally won a game. Anyone could jump or fall several spots in the blink of an eye, so let’s look [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 13

By John ⋅ December 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a month remains in the season, and things are still as close as ever. The race for #2 in the AFC is a three-way dead heat. Many teams are chasing the NFC’s second wildcard spot. Only three of eight divisions and four of twelve playoff spots have been wrapped up. Injuries are really starting [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 4

By John ⋅ November 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re a month into the season now, and there’s no shortage of stories. Both conferences have new leaders, the races for #8 are as crowded as ever and the Wizards still have hope for a 0-82 season. It’s still a logjam up and down the standings, meaning anything can happen, so let’s look at what [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 12

By John ⋅ November 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just over a month remains in the season, and it’s still an entertaining battleground. The weakened Steelers are making for a great Wildcard race in the AFC, while the Pats and Broncos are both challenging for a bye. The Wildcard race in the NFC is even more of a frenzy; even the Redskins are making [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 3

By John ⋅ November 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week is over in the NBA, and no team has yet to carve out any sort of niche for themselves. The top of the West is looking to be a revolving door, while the Knicks are holding onto the East for now, but Miami can never be counted out. We’re seeing which select teams [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 11

By John ⋅ November 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a month and a half remain in the NFL season, and things just keep getting better. The Giants and Bears are slipping. The Cowboys, Saints and Buccaneers are climbing back into the race. More key injuries are occurring, with Ben Roethlisberger and Rob Gronkowski leaving the Steelers and Patriots respectively, quite possibly for some [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 2

By John ⋅ November 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just two weeks into the season, the Lakers have already made a coaching change, even spurning Phil Jackson, who expected to return to the team. The Knicks are the only unbeaten team left, while the Celtics are taking a while to get their depth going. Memphis, San Antonio and Miami are going strong, and even [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 10

By John ⋅ November 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Ten weeks into the season, and there are finally no unbeatens remaining. Yes, the Falcons finally lost, but it was still a great game. Houston helped them out by handing Chicago a loss, but that wasn’t a shameful loss either. As if there wasn’t enough action so far, things are only picking up, so let’s [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

By John ⋅ November 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Nine weeks into the season, many teams still have legitimate chances of making waves. The Vikings are down, the Steelers are up and the Falcons are still (barely) unbeaten. Three AFC divisions are only led by a game, so not only are the Wildcard slots up for grabs, the seeding overall is still chaotic. In [...]
