After years of being mediocre, being stuck in that 9-8 or 10-7 range of teams and never really viewed as a true Super Bowl contender, the Seattle Seahawks have officially arrived. They finished the regular season tied for the best record in football at 14–3, earned the number one seed in the NFC, and set a new franchise record for most wins in a single regular season. That alone is impressive, but when you look at where this team was not that long ago, it becomes even more re

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 5th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NBA: Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline (+100) vs Golden State Warriors The Clippers have won eight of their last ten matchups against the Warriors and come in playing solid basketball, winning six of their last seven games overall. While this isn’t always the most trustworthy team, the recent form and matchup history are hard to i

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 3rd, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NFL : Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Under 43.5 Points (-110) Baker Mayfield has looked like a shell of himself since the shoulder injury, and it’s hard to trust this Tampa Bay offense to consistently move the ball. On the other side, Bryce Young is stepping into the biggest game of his career with playoff implication

The Silcoff Selections are here for Week 18 of the 2025 NFL Season! Below are my records for my straight up and against the spread picks for the season thus far. Records Last Week: Straight Up: 8-8 Against The Spread: 6-9-1 Season Records: Straight Up: 158-97-1 Against The Spread: 121-129-6 Saturday & Sunday Games: Carolina Panthers (8-8) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9) I Line: Buccaneers -3 What we originally thought would decide the NFC South has turned into something far more

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 2nd, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across the hardwood and ice tonight. NBA: Denver Nuggets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Under 238.5 Points (-110) Denver is coming off a hard-fought win in Toronto but took another major hit with Jonas Valančiūnas going down, on top of already losing Nikola Jokić for the next month with a hyperextended knee. While Cleveland is capable of lighting up the sc

After going out last night, I got home from work pretty early in the morning and finally sat down to watch the Stranger Things finale. To start off, I was never a long time fan of the show. I only began watching Stranger Things about three months ago. I just knew with the new season coming out that it was going to take over my For You page, my Twitter feed, and everything else online. That sense of FOMO definitely kicked in, so I pushed myself to finally get into the show. An

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 1st, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some my favourite plays across the hardwood and ice tonight. NBA: Detroit Pistons (-4.5) -110 vs Miami Heat Detroit has covered seven of the last ten meetings against Miami and already proved they can handle this matchup with a win earlier this season. This will be the Pistons’ first home game since December 20, which should bring an added level of energy and urgency. With T

After being considered the Super Bowl favourites for at least the majority of the second half of this NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams were upset last night by the loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, and their MVP candidate quarterback, Matthew Stafford, was not great for a majority of that game. Sure, Stafford threw for 270 yards, but he had three costly interceptions, which cost the Rams the win and potentially playoff seeding. Stafford did have a great ga

NBA trade season is upon us. Anyone who signed in the summer or was traded to a team in the summer can now be traded and as trade season progresses, the rumors are going to start circulating. Here are some players, NBA stars specifically, who I think could benefit from getting traded in 2026. I am not saying all these guys are going to be traded. I just think it would probably be best for both the player and teams to move on from one another. Giannis Antetokounmpo- Milwaukee

This is not something I really write about as much anymore, but with 2025 coming to an end, I wanted to talk about one of my other favourite passions outside of sports... Which is movies. Going into next year, there is a wide range of movies I am really looking forward to. Thriller, superhero, comedy, drama, it is all over the place. I am pretty easy to get to like a movie, so there is not going to be a ton of in-depth analysis here. These are simply some of my most anticipat

“Another year over, and a new one just begun.” This is always my favourite piece to write every year, because there’s nothing better than putting bold sports predictions on the record and seeing how they age. Last year, I’ll be the first to admit, didn’t go particularly well, but that’s part of the fun. Let’s try to be a little sharper, a little bolder, and a lot more right in 2026. NBA Predictions: The Oklahoma City DO NOT win the 2026 NBA Championship The New York Knicks Ma

We’re in the last few days of 2025, which is kind of crazy to even say out loud. It feels like this year absolutely flew by. And when it comes to the Montreal Canadiens, it was actually a really good year overall. For the first time since 2021, the Canadiens got back to the playoffs. They didn’t go far, but getting back there mattered. It felt like a real step forward for the organization after a few tough seasons. More than anything, 2025 was about seeing the young core star

The Kansas City Chiefs recently announced they’ll be leaving Missouri and moving to Kansas. A lot of people are upset about the deal itself, the politics behind it, and the amount of money involved. Honestly, I don’t really care that much about that part. Teams can do whatever they want when it comes to relocation and finances. What I do care about is the fact that the Chiefs are moving into a dome stadium. They’re just the latest team to go from an outdoor stadium to an indo

Tomorrow is Christmas Day, which for many NBA fans has always felt like the unofficial start of the season. For years, this was the moment when football started to wrap up and the NBA fully took the stage. The league would roll out its biggest stars, its best teams, and its most marketable matchups for everyone to watch while spending time with their loved ones. However, that "aura", has felt like it’s been missing a bit in recent years. The NFL has taken over Christmas Day l

The Silcoff Selections are here for Week 17 of the 2025 NFL Season! Below are my records for my straight up and against the spread picks for the season thus far. Records Last Week: Straight Up: 12-4 Against The Spread: 9-6-1 Season Records: Straight Up: 150-89-1 Against The Spread: 115-120-5 Christmas Games: Dallas Cowboys (6-8-1) @ Washington Commanders (4-11) I Line: Cowboys -7  It’s either Jeff Driskel or Josh Johnson at quarterback for Washington, and this just feels like

So, was I dreaming last night, or did that actually happen? The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams played in possibly the greatest Thursday Night Football game ever played and possibly the most important Thursday Night Football game ever played. In my opinion, it was the game of the NFL season, and you can absolutely make an argument that it was the game of the decade. Both teams came into this matchup at 11–3. This was a game about controlling your destiny, not just f

The Silcoff Selections are here for Week 16 of the 2025 NFL Season! Below are my records for my straight up and against the spread picks for the season thus far. Records Last Week: Straight Up: 9-7 Against The Spread: 9-7 Season Records: Straight Up: 138-84-1 Against The Spread: 106-113-4 Thursday Night Football: Los Angeles Rams (11-3) @ Seattle Seahawks (11-3) I Line: Seahawks -1.5 Week 16 kicks off with arguably the biggest Thursday Night Football game possibly ever. It’s

As we get closer and closer to the end of the NFL regular season, it also means we are obviously getting closer to the NFL playoffs. Earlier this season, I wrote an article about playoff matchups I really wanted to see. But as I start to think more about the potential teams and the teams it looks like we will be getting in the postseason in January, there is one potential matchup that really intrigues me. And it is not because of the players on the field. It is because of the

Before I even go further, I just want to say as clearly as I can: Brendan Gallagher is one of my all-time favourite Montreal Canadiens. I’ve watched him throughout his entire career, not just with the Habs, but even going back to junior. He played here in Vancouver for the Vancouver Giants, he was their captain, and when I found out as a little kid that he was part of the Montreal Canadiens organization, he instantly became one of my favourite players to follow, probably more

It’s been about 24 hours now since the Vancouver Canucks traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a package that includes Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, and Minnesota’s 2026 first-round pick. After having some time to think about it, and with more information coming out, it has become clear to me the Canucks had to do this. Elliotte Friedman mentioned on Hockey Night in Canada that Hughes told the team about a month ago that he wasn’t planning on signi
