Taking a look at who's hot and who's not on the NY/NJ sports landscape:

THREE UP:

They're now 15-6, coming off back-to-back wins against Pittsburgh and a shootout victory over Philadelphia on Monday night. This is the best sports team in New York right now.

2. Red Bulls

Dropped the first game, but they're in the Eastern Conference Finals and have taken the city by storm.

3. Odell Beckham Jr.

How do you become an instant sensation? Make a jaw-dropping catch like he did.

THREE DOWN:

His miraculous grab wasn't enough to prevent the Giants from losing to Dallas. They've now dropped six in a row.

2. Rex, Vick and the Jets

Different night, different venue, same Jets. They were trounced by the Bills, 38-3.

3. Knicks and Nets

They're 9-19, combined. Neither team has been good this season, and it's far from over.
