Vanderbilt got through its nonconference schedule with a 13-0 record, and as of now they have four Quad 1 wins over Saint Mary’s, SMU, Wake Forest, and UCF.

The Tampa Bay Lightning pay the team’s one and only visit to the SAP Center during the regular season in yet another test for this young San Jose Sharks’ squad.

The Chicago Bears received some good news on the health front regarding wide receiver Rome Odunze. Odunze is listed as questionable for Sunday’s Week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions after practicing ( albeit in a limited capacity ) on Friday. The second-year wideout hasn’t played since Nov. 28 when the Bears clipped the Philadelphia Eagles with a win on Black Friday. Odunze missed the team’s following game against the Green Bay Packers due to a foot injury. And while he was active an...
