Rivalry Week Predictions

We’ve finally reached that weekend in the season that everyone looks forward to. No, not Super Bowl week, but instead, rivalry week!

Our team of writers have been working hard to bring you their in-depth analysis for each and every game, as well as deciding the final outcome.

With most Universities beginning their second semester next Monday, this may be the final time everyone can enjoy our articles without the worry of assignments hanging over their head!

Note: Due to less than a handful of games being played last weekend, our top 25 hasn’t been updated. So don’t complain if your team finds themselves ranked lower than a team they have just defeated! We’re looking at you Brighton players, alumni, etc...

Super Bowl XLVII Preview

After a fantastic regular season and even better post season we’re down to the final two! I went against the grain and successfully picked Baltimore to upset New England, but even I didn't expect the game to be that one-sided. Brady and the Pats seemed to crumble under the pressure, coming up short in key moments.

SF meanwhile fought back from a 17 point deficit to see off the Falcons, who almost let a huge comeback ruin them versus Seattle. Despite struggling to corral Jones, White and Gonzalez for most of the night, in the end the Niners had just enough poise to make it all the way to the big dance.

Read on for my extended preview (and prediction) of Super Bowl XLVII (47).

Roger Goodell did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit yesterday (find it here). One of the most well known members of the site is Minnesota Vikings’ punter Chris Kluwe, who posts under the username Loate (use search to find his question).

During the AMA Kluwe posed a question about how head injuries are changing the game. He finished his question by including the lyrics to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” unbeknownst to the Commissioner who actually answered the question!
