Super Bowl LI Prediction

Using my incredible prophetic powers, I have foreseen the chosen team, and that is…

Super Bowl LI Prediction

Football. That beautiful time of year where 70% of the country goes cuckoo-for-Cocoa-Puffs over a bunch of grown men fighting over an inflated—and sometimes deflated—piece of leather, while the other 30% wonder what in the world exactly is a “Brown?” Nevertheless, football is back, so here are my picks for Super Bowl LI.

*Numbers in parenthesis indicate playoff seeding.

*Also, I swear I had written this down before the Panthers lost to the Broncos last Thursday!

AFC Wildcard

(3) Pittsburgh Steelers vs. (6) Jacksonville Jaguars

(4) Indianapolis Colts vs. (5) Cincinnati Bengals

AFC Divisional

(1) New York Jets vs. (4) Indianapolis Colts

(2) Kansas City Chiefs vs. (5) Pittsburgh Steelers

AFC Championship

(2) Kansas City Chiefs vs. (4) Indianapolis Colts

NFC Wildcard

(3) New Orleans Saints vs. (6) Carolina Panthers

(4) Washington Redskins vs. (5)Seattle Seahawks

NFC Divisional

(1) Arizona Cardinals vs. (5) Seattle Seahawks

(2) Green Bay Packers vs. (3) New Orleans Saints

NFC Championship

(2) Green Bay Packers vs. (5) Seattle Seahawks

Super Bowl LI

Green Bay Packers vs. Indianapolis Colts

Champion: Green Bay Packers


Some quick notes:
  • For the first time in 8 years, the New England Patriots will miss the playoffs due to Tom Brady’s suspension and playing in the toughest division in the AFC.
  • Both the Jets and the Chiefs were among the most surprising teams last year, and will continue that trend by dethroning the Patriots, Broncos, and Steelers as the major powerhouses of the AFC.
  • Everyone seems to have forgotten about the Colts this year, but they have one of the quickest defenses in the league and a formidable offense led by Andrew Luck.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars will make the postseason for the first time since 2007.
  • The Cardinals and Packers were the only two among last season’s NFC playoff teams that got discernibly better on both offense and defense during the offseason, and will prove it by dominating most teams they play in the season.
  • Somebody has to win the laughable NF East division, so I might as well gift it to the Redskins again this year.
  • Saints will be the "comeback kids" of the NFC. Their defense was so miserable last year, that any improvement will automatically put them in contention to win a few more games than the previous season.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
