Moore Problems, ACL Nightmares, and the Week 17 Rundown

Week 17 brings chaos, clarity, and a few things nobody asked for. We start with Michigan firing Sherrone Moore with cause as the coaching carousel somehow finds another gear, then pivot to brutal news around the league as Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons both suffer ACL tears that could ripple well into 2026.

From there, it’s time to take victory laps (and eat a little crow) on our preseason over/unders, hand out Eliminated Team of the Week to a growing pile of misery, and punch playoff tickets for the teams that actually handled business. Derek makes the case that the Saints are quietly wrecking the NFC South, Caleb checks in on Championship Aggies, and we sort contenders from pretenders with just two weeks left.

We wrap it up with Bears–49ers as the Game of the Week, Brodie Bets rolling into bowl season, and a full slate of picks as the playoff picture sharpens and patience wears thin. December football is here, and there’s nowhere left to hide.
