With so many unforgettable seasons, great teams and legendary stars, we’ve had to get our historical NFL TRACR to help us determine which franchise had the best single season between 2000 and 2025. Here's the list: theanalyst.com/articles/rank...

With the field tightened and the pretenders gone, the quarterfinals of the CFP are fast approaching. What are the matchups that will swing the results? What small things should you watch for? Who does the Opta supercomputer favor? @alexkirshner.com has answers. theanalyst.com/articles/cfp-...

Did Drake Maye just have his MVP-clinching performance? If not, how much is he closing the gap on Matthew Stafford? Like every weekend, Week 17 had some incredible efforts and some that were … not so incredible. We break down the winners and losers. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

The unexpected downturn of a few teams has taken some of the drama out of the NFL Christmas slate. But there are still plenty of reasons to watch. We broke down the key to all three games on Christmas day. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

Chicago is on the upswing. No city with four or more Big Four teams improved as much from 2024 to 2025.

Once 7-1, the Colts have lost five of six and are desperate for a win. The 49ers have won four straight to improve to 10-4. We’ve got the keys and the Opta supercomputer’s win probability for a Monday Night Football clash with a lot on the line. theanalyst.com/articles/colt...

Defense was optional in the Bulls' win over the Hawks. Nine different Bulls finished in double figures.

The Carolina Panthers took another step forward in Week 16, downing the Buccaneers and taking control of the NFC South. And it was growth from Bryce Young that made a win possible. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

The popular response to Justin Jefferson's disappointing season has been to blame on the team's quarterbacks. But is there more to it than that? What happens if we remove QB play from the equation? The answers we found might be a little surprising. theanalyst.com/articles/minn...

THE YAYS AND NAYS FOR WEEK 16 ✅ Jared Goff ✅ Michael Carter ✅ Ladd McConkey 🚫 Jordan Love 🚫 Bucky Irving Find out who else our projections value differently than the expert consensus rankings to get an edge in your matchup this week. theanalyst.com/articles/week...

I think Bama's gonna win but I am getting a nagging feeling that they're going to have a huge special teams problem, like last time, and it's going to cost them

Two of the games should be close. In the other two, a G5 team is a long shot and another G5 team will most likely get launched into space. Welcome to Year 2 of the 12-team CFP. @alexkirshner.com has the key matchups that will decide who moves on. theanalyst.com/articles/cfp-...

J.J. McCarthy had his second consecutive quality outing to help the Vikings take down the Cowboys. The Cowboys lost their second consecutive game after moving above .500 for the first time all season with a win over the Chiefs in Week 13.

There's been big showdowns and bigger injuries. From the fall of the Chiefs to the Bills-Pats clash to the explosive Rams, we took a look at some of the good, bad and ugly of the NFL's Week 15. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

Matthew Stafford torched his old team to keep the Rams at the top of the NFC standings. It was the first time the former Lions quarterback threw for more than 300 yards since Week 5 against the 49ers.

Like every weekend on the slate, Week 15 has had some incredible games, historic performances and more. We take a look at some of the highlights, lowlights, news and stats ... from Mahomes' injury and the end of an era to the showdown in the AFC East. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

The Chargers eliminated the Chiefs from the playoffs with a 16-13 win. Derwin James picked off Gardner Minshew (who replaced an injured Patrick Mahomes) to secure the victory late in the fourth quarter.

The Bills surged in the second half and came away with a dramatic comeback win against the Patriots. Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns as Buffalo outscored New England 28-7 after halftime.

Got my official list of Teams That Could Actually Win The National Title. It's seven! Pretty exciting! Wide open.

Oregon is one of only two teams (along with Indiana) to rank in the top five in both offensive and defensive TRACR heading into the CFP. So how far does @alexkirshner.com and the Opta supercomputer have the Ducks going? What about the rest of the field? theanalyst.com/articles/cfp-...

There’s already been much to debate in Year 2 of the 12-team format. But there’s no going back now. @alexkirshner.com looks ahead to the College Football Playoff field and put his wins ceiling for each team. theanalyst.com/articles/cfp-...

Notre Dame lost at Miami 27-24 and at home to Texas A&M 41-40 before running off 10 straight victories by an average of 29.7 points. Still, it wasn't enough as the Irish were left out of the CFP. Are they the biggest snub of the Playoff era? theanalyst.com/articles/best...

The Thunder are off to one of the best starts in NBA history. Can they break the 2015-16 Warriors' win record? @donniebuckets.bsky.social explored the possibility. theanalyst.com/articles/okla...

The Irish feel snubbed. There's jawing back and forth between league commissioners and Notre Dame's AD. Do the Irish have a legitimate gripe? With the help of our historical TRACR, we've ranked the best teams to miss out on the CFP. theanalyst.com/articles/best...

The Packers reclaim No. 1 over the Lions and Broncos - and the Eagle tumble - in our TRACR NFL power rankings for Week 15. Find all the date on our NFL pages.

The Texans moved into a playoff spot with a big win against the Chiefs. The Houston defense picked off Patrick Mahomes three times and held him to a season-low 160 passing yards.

It's Separation Sunday in the NFL with a lot of action impacting playoff or division title probabilities. Here's a look at the biggest Risers and Fallers of Week 14 so far. theanalyst.com/articles/nfl-...

Did Notre Dame get snubbed? TRACR has them as the third-best team in the country and best among teams on the bubble.

Christian Benford returned an interception for a touchdown to give the Bills a fourth quarter lead against the Bengals, and Josh Allen had a 17-yard scramble on 3rd-and-15 to ice the game as Buffalo held on for a big win.

Championship Weekend has juice this year. Most of it comes from one source: the ACC, which has a bracket-busting possibility unlike any in the CFP era. To help you sort through it, @alexkirshner.com ranks the title games by how much chaos they might cause. theanalyst.com/articles/2025...

Although his numbers are uneven, Caleb Williams wins in the moments that matter. He has the Bears tied for the NFL lead with five fourth-quarter comebacks. But are the NFC leaders a legitimate contender? And what does the Opta supercomputer think of their odds? theanalyst.com/articles/chic...

The Bears have had one of the NFL's easiest schedules and the underlying data isn't impressive, but teams don’t win by accident in this league. So how are they doing it and what does the supercomputer say? @tylergreenawalt.bsky.social on the Bears. theanalyst.com/articles/chic...

The Hawks have impressed without Trae Young. Should they move on from their star guard? theanalyst.com/articles/atla...

Duke being in the ACC Championship has made this one the most compelling championship weekends ever. Kennesaw State is a playoff-relevant team on Friday night
