COVID-19 is killing more than 550 people a day in the Midwest — the most in the nation, per capita. And yet, as the population continues to get sick, college football is still happening there … sort of. Thus far this season, only opening week in the Big Ten went […]
Another Sunday, another miserable loss by the New York Jets. The LOL Jets lost 20-3 to the Miami Dolphins as their slide continues with an 0-11 record. The Jets were shutout against the Dolphins earlier in the season and have now been outscored 44-3 in eight quarters against their AFC […]
The Denver Broncos confirmed Saturday night that they were out of quarterbacks and yet, the show goes on vs. the Saints on Sunday as the COVID-era NFL reached its most farcical, and perhaps dangerous, stage in Week 12. It started when backup QB Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 on […]
It has been a mighty descent for the San Francisco 49ers since their disappointing show in Super Bowl LIV, which found them on the losing end (31-20) to the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFC West’s last-place team has been bedeviled this season by injuries, messy COVID-19 protocols, and now, is […]
Saturday’s game between No. 4 Ohio State (4-0) at Illinois (2-3) was called off by Ohio State Friday night as the COVID-19 virus has spread throughout the program. The Buckeyes reported too many positive tests to field a team this weekend. Head coach Ryan Day is among the undisclosed number […]
With many of the team’s special teams players in quarantine, women’s soccer standout Sarah Fuller practiced with the team and is available as kicker for Vanderbilt Saturday. Texas-native Fuller is a senior goalkeeper for the 8-4 Commodores. She appeared in nine games and made 28 saves this season. Last weekend […]
It’s rivalry week (as best can happen in 2020) in college football and the DFS sites offer up a nice slate for Saturday. Teams like Ohio State, Clemson and Alabama should roll, but I’ll focus more on some expected closer shootouts like Mississippi State-Ole Miss and Maryland-Indiana. Here are two […]
Week 12 of the NFL season has a full slate of games, including a pair Thanksgiving games in the books. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs head to Tampa Bay, Florida to square off against Tom Brady and the Bucs. The New Orleans Saints seek their ninth win of […]
Lamar Jackson, the reigning MVP from the Baltimore Ravens, tested positive for COVID-19. Jackson is one of nearly a dozen players and staff who contracted coronavirus. Backup QB Robert Griffin III, aka RG3, will start for the Ravens against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. On Wednesday, the NFL postponed the […]
USC’s already slim chances to contend for a spot in the College Football Playoff grew a lot dimmer Thanksgiving evening as their Saturday game against Colorado was canceled. It’s been a war of COVID attrition in the Pac-12. Even with the shortened, six-game conference-only schedule that didn’t kick off until […]
Alabama head coach Nick Saban disclosed Wednesday he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week and presented mild symptoms. Saban, 69, will quarantine at home for at least 10 days, which means he is ineligible to coach Saturday’s game at home against Auburn. Instead, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will take […]
Thanksgiving kicks off Week 12 of the NFL season. With six weeks remaining in the season, the Kansas City Chiefs are the consensus favorites to win Super Bowl 55 and defend their title at 3/1 odds. The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are 11/2 odds to win the Super […]
The Pac-12 football season is one that likely should have never happened. Initially called off in August due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pac-12 commissioners did an about-face a month later and reinstated the season. Since then, it’s been nothing but cancellations and a fast fade from the national spotlight. A […]
If Washington and Dallas were in any other NFL division, they would be focusing on their draft plans. Instead, the two teams with losing records have a realistic chance to make the playoffs. The winner of Thursday’s game will take sole possession of first place in the NFC East. It […]
In any normal year, few NFL fans would be interested in a Thanksgiving matchup featuring a 3-7 team hitting the road to take on a 4-6 host. But in 2020, a game between the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans might just provide the best available Turkey Day football. The […]
The Week 12 Sunday schedule will be a little light due to the Thanksgiving slate, but we will see the return of popular DFS stacks like the Chiefs and the Cardinals after they were missing from the slate last week. If you’d like to roster Patrick Mahomes or Kyler Murray, […]
As COVID-19 cancellations continue to disrupt this fractured college football season, one constant remains: a record number of teams are undefeated. But which program is also perfect against the spread? Northwestern, that’s who. In a Week 13 college football first, 11 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools remain undefeated. They are […]
It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without turkey, Cowboys, and Lions. This year’s Thanksgiving Day slate includes Houston at Detroit, Baltimore at Pittsburgh, and Washington at Dallas. The DFS sites priced players fairly cheaply this year, so you can plug and play almost anyone you want this Thanksgiving. Here are the players […]
BetMGM’s pending arrival in Pennsylvania kicked off Tuesday with the announcement of a multi-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The online sportsbook has grown its media footprint steadily since hiring chief operating officer Ryan Spoon from ESPN last month. Parent company MGM touted BetMGM as the company’s 2020 bright spot […]
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is now the overwhelming favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday. The two quarterbacks were locked in a battle at sportsbooks for the postseason honor, but Burrow’s misfortune now gives […]
