NFL Playoff Preview after Week 15

By -
Another week is in the books for the NFL. Today we're going to take a look at the standings in both divisions after Week 15. As we get closer an closer to the playoffs with only 2 more weeks remaining in this years regular season it's time for the big boys to earn their paycheck.

First off we're going to start with a brief rundown of the NFC division. In the NFC I can see the Cowboys, Seahawks, Falcons and Giants as locks for this years playoff. Keep a close eye on the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers. The Giants have a very hot hand right now and was the only team able to take down the Cowboys this year, also Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are getting back to their winning ways. The Packers are on a 4 game win streak and have been able to find some good form here late in the season. Here's a look at the standings as of now in the NFC division.

NFC

#1 seed-Dallas Cowboys (12-2)

#2 seed-Seattle Seahawks (9-4-1)

#3 seed-Atlanta Falcons (9-5)

#4 seed-Detroit Lions (9-5)

#5 seed-New York Giants (10-4)

#6 seed-Green Bay Packers (8-6)

Still in the Hunt

#7 seed-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6)

#8 seed-Washington Redskins (7-6-1)

#9 seed-Minnesota Vikings (7-7)

#10 seed-New Orleans Saints (6-8)

#11 seed-Carolina Panthers (6-8)

Now the AFC race is really tight. Right now we have four (8-6) teams Texans, Ravens, Titans, Broncos. The Texans are the only team seeded out of those four. My locks in the race for the AFC are the Patriots, Raiders, Steelers, and Chiefs. Teams to watch out for are the Dolphins and Texans both of which played new QB's this week. Texans Head Coach Bill O'brien had some guts switching to Tom Savage so late in the season with a playoff spot still up for grabs. Dolphins were forced to make the switch to Mat Moore as their guy Ryan Tannehill took a nasty injury to his MCL after Week 14's match up with the Arizona Cardinals. It will be interesting to see how both of the teams finish the year out. Below is a look at the standings in the AFC division.

AFC

#1 seed-New England Patriots (12-2)

#2 seed-Oakland Raiders (11-3)

#3 seed-Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5)

#4 seed-Houston Texans (8-6)

#5 seed-Kansas City Chiefs (10-4)

#6 seed-Miami Dolphins (9-5)

Still in the Hunt

#7 seed-Baltimore Ravens (8-6)

#8 seed-Tennessee Titans (8-6)

#9 seed-Denver Broncos (8-6)

#10 seed-Indianapolis Colts (7-7)

#11 seed-Buffalo Bills (7-7)

Battlefront 2 Pay to Play/ Death of Triple A Games

By -

    Early Access started on Battlefront 2 and the outrage began immediately.  Everyone is saying that main characters of the franchise are locked behind either a pay wall or random luck of the draw with loot crates, that seem to take forever to obtain.  It is sad to see such a promising game get stuck with a pay to win setup.   Pay to win will be the death of the Triple A title and the larger developers if they don't see this.   It is insane to expect people who have already paid $60 for the game you made, to pay another amount of money to unlock content in the game. This model makes people feel like unappreciated and makes the consumer angry which is not a profitable business model.  I am perfectly fine with games that put cosmetics into loot boxes that I have the option to pay for.  This model does not effect the main game play and does not give anyone person a advantage just because they spend more money. Games such as Overwatch, Call of ...

Redskins Refuse to Wear the Color Rush Jersey Tonight

  The fact hat they are the only team that has fussed about this to this point is astounding. But what doesn’t make sense is, they have one of my favorite color rushes.  Theirs is actually enough of a change to make it cool. Unlike some jerseys.  I think they look good but whatever if the team doesn’t want to wear the jersey don’t think you should make them.

The SEC Struggles this Bowl Season

By -
   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average.
