The NBA season is now in full swing, as it's about six weeks into the campaign. There have been a few shocking teams on both ends of the spectrum, with certain teams atop the standings that we did not expect to be doing this well. As always, there's also the teams that are predicted to do well, but are hurting because of injuries, or just flat out aren't getting it done. I will be posting my personal power rankings every couple weeks, so make sure to follow up each post! Here are my NBA Power Rankings so far: 1. Golden State Warriors (15-2) 2.

Well we're about two months into the NHL season, and what a great one it's been so far.

Week 13 was the week of offense. There were more points scored this past week, than any week so far this season. Nearly every team, with the exception of a handful, scored almost 20 points last week. There were a few offensive shootouts, as well as some blowouts that weren't even TV worthy. The results definitely shuffled the rankings this week, with the Packers now claiming the top spot. With five 9-3 teams, and so many good teams overall, the home stretch of the season is going to be one for the memory books. Week 14 has a slate of solid games, as well as a few that could have major playoff implications. Here's how the teams stack up heading into this week: 1. Green Bay Packers (9-3)
2. New England Patriots (9-3) 3. Denver Broncos (9-3) 4. Philadelphia Eagles (9-3) 5. Seattle Seahawks (8-4) 6. Indianapolis Colts (8-4) 7. Dallas Cowboys (8-4) 8. Arizona Cardinals (9-3) 9. Cincinnati Bengals (8-3-1) 10. Detroit Lions (8-4) 11. San Diego Chargers (8-4) 12. Kansas City Chiefs (7-5) 13. San Francisco 49ers (7-5) 14. Miami Dolphins (7-5) 15. Baltimore Ravens (7-5)
