With my Drivers' Standings Predictions published and finalized (article linked below!), here is a look at how I think the Constructors' Standings will look by the end of this unpredictable season!

Photo graphic by Cameron Cc: via youtube.com Formula One is entering a new era with so much unknown. One may think they have an idea of the pecking order, the favorites, or even who will fall short, yet it won't be until the drivers go racing that things will start to clear. So, what better time to make some predictions that could end horribly wrong than during the first race week of the season? This was one of the hardest prediction articles I have ever published. With the t

Photo by Rudy Carezzevoli/Getty Images It is finally race week for the world of Formula One, meaning the teams are set for what could be an unpredictable year, to say the least. With the pecking order still far from concrete, each team has expressed their satisfaction with their driver lineup. Yet, how good really is each driver lineup? I ranked each driver lineup solely based on the talent I believe each of them will present this season. Car performance is not taken into acc

by Zak Drapeau and Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 3/2/2026 Photo by Jeff Bottari/ Zuffa LLC Lone'er Kavanaugh vs Brandon Royval The performance Lone'er Kavanaugh just put on in enemy territory is inspiring. To beat up a former champion and tough guy like Brandon Moreno was awesome to see and should earn him a Top-8 ranking among the Flyweights. For his next fight, I can see him fighting either Brandon Royval or Amir Albazi. With both men on two-fight skids, I'd normally side with

Strickland may have looked better than he ever has before, completely shutting down a monster in Anthony Hernandez. With Strickland snapping Fluffy's 8-fight winning streak, big things should be on the horizon for him. A third fight against Dricus Du Plessi

Photo Credit to Mark Sutton / Formula 1 via Getty Images Testing for the 2026 Formula 1 season is officially done and dusted. With teams getting hundreds of laps in over the past few weeks, all that's left is to wait until the opening weekend in Australia. Though testing does not provide a concrete picture of what fans can expect in terms of true pace, things can definitely be taken away after seeing the cars on track. I compiled what I believe to be the 5 biggest takeaways,

by Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 2/3/2026 Photo Graphic by PlanetF1 With the 2026 Formula One season right around the corner, the sport is looking extremely different from what it looked like just a year ago. From two new teams to entirely new regulations, F1 has entered a new era of racing. But how different does it look? What should fans expect before the season? What should fans know? Well, you've come to the right place, as I have gathered all information from various source

While I like his shoutout to Cory Sandhagen, I think his next opponent should be Song Yadong. Yadong has lost two of his last three fights now after losing to O'Malley in January and probably needs someone further down the rankings than Sandhagen would. In co

by Zak Drapeau and Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 2/7/2026 Last Week for UFC 325, Zak went 6-1 and Matt went 6-1, with Matt predicting 3 correct methods and Zak picking 2.

Bautista is coming into this fight after losing f

by Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 2/7/2026 Graphic by theringer.com It's finally here! Super Bowl LX is officially hours away in what could be one of the most defensive but intense games we have seen in a while. On one hand, you have the 1-seeded Seattle Seahawks who have been rolling on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off arguably the best game of his career last time out, with his defense playing to the elite level they have been all season long. On th

by Zak Drapeau, Matt Hylen, Joseph McLaughlin, Joel Piton and Elias Meredith Sportz Nation - 2/7/2026 Zak Drapeau Winner: Seahawks Score: 21-17 This game is going to come down to turnovers and 4th down conversions. Whichever team can hold on to the ball and keep drives alive is going to win. The growing trend of going for it on 4th downs could be crucial because in a defensive game like this, not taking field goals could be the difference when it comes down to the wire. Matt

by Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 2/3/2026 Photo graphic by WMTW Well, Brad Stevens has done it again... In what was an unexpected return package, the Boston Celtics have traded away guard and 6th Man of the Year candidate Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls for center Nikola Vučević and a future second-round pick. For Boston, I really like this move. Vučević is a proven scorer, rebounder, and floor spacer that can fit into the Celtics' playstyle perfectly. He is an expiring con

by Zak Drapeau and Matt Hylen Sportz Nation - 2/2/2026 Alexander Volkanovski vs WINNER of Lerone Murphy vs Mosvar Evloev Photo by Jeff Bottari/ Zuffa LLC Matt Hylen After watching his post-fight octagon interview, it seemed to me that Volkanovski assumed that he would face the winner of a potential title eliminator between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy. He was right to assume that, as a title eliminator between the two was announced on Monday afternoon. Whoever the winner

This also has Fight of the Night and Knockout of the Night written all over it as the probable heaviest and most technical strikers of the division square off. Who knows what Topuria's future holds and how his style, skill, and prowe

Photo Graphic by Clutch Points And then there were two... The AFC Championship game is set, with the 2-seeded New England Patriots heading to Denver to take on the 1-seeded Broncos. New England, who are coming off a tough win against the Texans, will be looking for some more offense against a Broncos defense that is among the best in football. For Denver, they are, of course, without their quarterback Bo Nix this week, making backup Jarrett Stidham the starter on the biggest

by Zak Drapeau and Matt Hylen 1/23/2026 - Sportz Nation Photo Graphic by UFC via ufc.com Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett Lightweight Championship (Pimblett -230) This should be an all-out war, even if it's between two fighters who aren't currently deserving of the title shot. Nonetheless, when the Highlight Reel and the Scouser come to blows, one has to assume that the veteran Gaethje should win the chess match when striking. The two have made claims that they plan to keep t

New England, coming off a gritty 16-3 win over the LA Chargers, will be looking to exploit what is an elite Houston defense. As for Houston, who is coming off a 30-6 blowout win over the Steelers, the defense will need to step up once again with the offense banged up. The game is set to kick off on
