Here at the ICT Zone, our power rankings are based on a very simple philosophy. "To be the man you gotta beat the man", if a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team, then the two teams automatically swap spots regardless of results from prior weeks.
Week 9 had the Buccaneers at first, but that is no longer the case after their blowout loss to the Saints. The Saints have slowly started making a real case as one of the Super Bowl favorites. The Dolphins also slide into our top 3 after taking down the Cardinals. The Dolphins might really be the real deal.
Next week there are a variety of exciting matchups.

The month of December is giving us non stop boxing, with an event every weekend until Christmas Day.

Another MLS draft is upon us, bringing back fiery debates about whether there is still any value in the system or if it is a complete and utter waste of time. The franchises themselves have long signaled where they stand in that argument. For one, the growing trend of GMs declining to select a player prompted several changes, such as...
