Today we will discu s a few things in the NFL and also talk Champions League results and some NBA news while we're at it.Let's get started. What you need to know1. NFL Power Rankings: plummet One thing about the NFL: it is full of surprises. That was true this week, as we witne sed the most underdog wins in over three decades (we will dive more into that later in this newsletter.)This means the power rankings we had last week?Heading into the season, we went over Pete Prisco's power rankings and I told you if he was wrong, not to be too hard on him. Well, I hope you remembered that, because five of his top 10 teams lost, including two in the top five. The Buffalo Bills, who went into Week 1 in our No. 2 spot, fell to the at home. Green Bay, what can Erick Aybar Jersey I even say? The team seemed almost to not show up in a blowout lo s to the and did not look like himself. Let's try not to overreact, but since each win is so valuable in the league we can't totally ignore this surprising week., along with how many spots each team moved up or down:No. 1: , didn't moveNo. 2: , moved up oneNo. 3: , moved up threeNo. 4: , moved up fourNo. 5: , moved up fourNo. 6: Saints, moved up 13No. 7: Steelers, moved up 14No. 8: , moved up 10No. 9: Bills, moved down sevenNo. 10: Packers, moved down sixLike I said, there was a big shake up this week. For the full rankings and commentary, . The Packers still have Rodgers, but they need to seriously bounce back to convince me they will remain contenders. I can see the Bills bouncing back from their lo s easier than the Packers.Meanwhile, the Browns dropped seven spots despite nearly beating defeating the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Prisco explained that it is because they need to learn how to win big games. That's some tough love, but hey, this is the NFL we are talking about.2. Champions League: Recapping the first day of action The and, wow, what a fun first day it was. Chelsea, the defending champions, beat Zenit Saint Petersburg 1-0 in a hard-fought battle. Meanwhile, Manchester Unitedsuffered a stunning 2-1 lo s to Young Boys in Bern. Sevilla vs. Salzburg was one to see, ending 1-1, but Villarreal vs. Atalanta was even more competitive. That game ended 2-2, as both team blew a lead along the way.For the top performer of the day, we are giving that to Robert Lewandowski.He scored his 74th and 75th Champions League goals in Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Barcelona.Here are the from the first day of UCL action:Sevilla 1, Salzburg 1Young Boys 1, Manchester United 2Barcelona 0, Bayern Munich 3Dynamo Kyiv 0, Adrian Morejon Jersey Benfica 0Villarreal 2, Atalanta 2LOSC 0, Wolfsburg 0 Chelsea 1, Zenit 0Malmo 0, Juventus 3For full commentary on the matches thus far,.3. NFL underdogs had a historically succe sful Week 1 Everyone loves an underdog story, and there were a ton in the first week of the NFL story. In fact, during Week 1 we witne sed the most underdog wins in the NFL in the last 38 years. Underdogs had awinning record of 9-7for thefirst time since 1983.Here's:Arizona CardinalsNew Orleans SaintsPittsburgh SteelersAdditionally, theCleveland Browns, and -- all underdogs --covered their spreads, despite all three losing.The Steelers beating the Bills, 23-16, was the biggest of all of those upsets, as Pittsburgh were 6.5-point underdogs at most major sports books.as Las Vegas defeated the in overtime, 33-27. That capped off a historic week, and a succe sful one if you're a gambler who likes putting money on underdogs. Trey Wingenter Jersey Will this trend continue? We'll be back to pick this conversation up tomorrow with picks for Week 2.4. Damian Lillard trade rumors have created a fake perception of the Blazers Hot takes are called hot takes for a reason and the whole point of them is that not everyone will agree. Sports fans are known to get carried away, so sometimes the hot takes go a little far.That setup is all for me to . Some have forgotten that, while Portland might not be an upper-cla s contender, they do have the chance to be a top-four seed in their conference. That's not too shabby. Here is a breakdown of what the Trail Blazers are working with, from the ups to the downs:They brought in Robert Covington and Derrick Jones Jr. last year, but they weren't as impactful on defense around Lillard as expected. In short, the offense tanked with Jones on the courtLarry Nance Jr. is similar to Jones, but he will likely create extra po se sions. Nance also gives the Blazers more lineup optionsThey are bringing back Norman PowellThe Lillard-CJ McCollum duo is still one of the best in the leagueLast year, the starting lineup put up 14.2 points per 100 po se sions. This was ranked secondonly to Philadelphia's starters among lineups with at least 700 minutes of court time. The team already has some solid options on that bulleted list above, with struggles that can be addre sed.Speaking of Philly, -- particularly if Ben Simmons is available for a realistic package. But besides trades, you know what makes Portland dangerous, especially in big games? Lillard! Botkin: None of us are in Lillard's head though, and it will be interesting Tony Gwynn Jersey to see how the relationship progre sesand what takes place the first few months of the season. But the theory that the Trail Blazers need to make ma sive changes to become a contender is simply not true.

Fashion and sports go hand-in-hand more than some realize, with pregame outfits and sponsorship deals being a major part of the off-the-field (or court) aspect. With the MET Gala returning on Monday, it only seems appropriate that we discu s some looks that deal with sports. She was also holding a bedazzled football and wearing Wilson's Super Bowl ring. Sports are truly everywhere!
