My MVP Pick: Dak Prescott

Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune

As we approach the final weeks of the regular season, the MVP discussion has been heating up, but there is only one correct option for the award so far. That option is Dak Prescott. Prescott has had his best season this year as a pro and as of last week has propelled the Cowboys into 1st place in the NFC East. 

The Cowboys in general have had an unbelievable season, but that is all in thanks to their star quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott currently leads the league in touchdowns with 28 of them, possesses the second best QBR in the league, and has the fourth most passing yards as well. 

The numbers don't lie and along with that, the Cowboys have a 10-3 record, sitting atop the NFC. The Cowboys are winning lots of games, and they are winning these games handedly. In 8 of their 10 wins this season, the Cowboys have beaten their opponent by at least 20 points courtesy of Dak's phenomenal play. 

Dak went into this offseason with one goal, limit the turnovers and he has done so very effectively. So far this season, Dak only has 6 interceptions. Interceptions in the past for Prescott were his number one concern, but he has really limited them thus far. 

The thing that has always been the deciding factor with the fate of the Cowboys is how they transition from the regular season to the playoffs. In the past, they have been early round exits, but with the way Dak is leading the team this year, it is going to be hard to repeat this. 

In their wins, the Cowboys have been the most dominant team in the NFL and Dak has had a lot to do with that. There are definitely others in the race, but if the Cowboys can lock up the division this season and potentially grab the #1 seed in the NFC, the race should be all but over. If I was voting for MVP, Dak would certainly have my vote.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
