The Cubs came back home and got right back into a groove. When last we saw this team, they’d swept all seven games on a seven-game homestand. For those not keeping track at home, they also won the home game before that back on April 12. So this is now nine straight wins at Wrigley […]

Not only is second-line center Filip Chytil out indefinitely after taking a vicious body blow from Tom Wilson , but their top-line pivot, Elias Pettersson, has not returned to form this season as had been hoped. How bad has it been for Pettersson? His minutes are down at 5-on-5, and he has just one goal and four points in seven games. He's only in the second season...

Despite the uncertainty on the transfer market and the transition to a new manager, it wasn’t crazy to suggest that Roma were among a handful of favorites to take home the Europa League crown. In fact, the managerial change may have led many people to think the Giallorossi could claim their second European title in […]
The Sixers were going to lose in Boston. Fans had long been accustomed to that over the previous four decades whether that be in regular season matchups or in the playoffs. On Opening Night on Wednesday, the Sixers trailed the Celtics by 11 entering the fourth quarter. I had made peace with the loss, mentally, […]

The Washington Huskies came back down to Earth as they faced off against the Michigan Wolverines. The team kept things close with a 7-7 tie at intermission before it all unraveled following halftime.

Hello everyone and welcome back! Before we start, I’d like to issue a formal apology for missing last week’s rankings.

The Dallas Cowboys hit the road this week to take on the Denver Broncos. Both teams are coming off of victories and will be looking to continuing their win streak. In order to do that, they will need to be at their best and win certain matchups to sway the outcome of the game in […]
You can’t spell “incompetent” without “Pete”. That’s the territory the Las Vegas Raiders are in at 2-5 overall under head coach Pete Carroll. Instead of installing a culture or identity in the desert, the 74-year-old head coach, the Silver & Black are in shambles as they settle into a much-needed bye week. Instead of bringing […]
The Lakers appeared to have dodged an injury bullet regarding Luka Dončić. In the closing minutes against the Warriors, Luka seemed to have potentially suffered an injury, though he said it was “probably nothing” postgame. Since that contest, Los Angeles has had a pair of practices and he has been able to participate fully, indicating […]
We are getting further into the season and learning more about each team. As a result, the lines are getting better and fewer games are coming in with wildly unexpected results. Of the six games picked last week, only Minnesota’s upset over Nebraska on Friday night jumped out as wildly out of line with expectations. […]
Yesterday, we got some exciting news about players who have been on injured reserve but returned to practice on Wednesday. We don’t yet know if they will be activated before Sunday, but its noteworthy how they followed up their return to action yesterday, and their status today. Here’s what we know so far after this […]
It’s already Thursday, friends! And that means it’s game night! The Bruins will try to snap out of a losing streak against the Ducks tonight. It was nice to see a short-lived, third-period comeback last game so maybe things are trending up after some lulls. Discuss!

The Wisconsin Badgers hired a new general manager this offseason, promoting Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Operating Officer Marcus Sedberry after Max Stienecker left for an executive position with the USC Trojans. Sedberry was a different hire than initially expected, as Wisconsin focused on filling a role with someone with more business experience, rather than […]
During the first seven games of the 2025 season, the Kansas City Chiefs have been concealing an offensive weapon. But that player’s cover was blown during Sunday’s 31-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Rookie running back Brashard Smith led the Chiefs in yards from scrimmage (81) and touches (19). He moved the chains three […]
The Game One starting pitchers for the World Series have been named. Blake Snell will be getting the start for the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Trey Yesavage will be starting for the Toronto Blue Jays.

It was, again, another tough week, this time 3-7, thanks to some bad luck in a few games. I got hooked by the USC-Notre Dame game, and Tennessee had what appeared to be a touchdown that would have hit the over called short of the end zone in the final seconds. But can’t stop, won’t […]

I don’t expect the Green Bay Packers to just take a loss on their $48 million signing of cornerback Nate Hobbs, nor do I think they should. Hobbs was one of the premier slot cornerbacks to hit free agency last offseason, and he was paid as such. With that being said, be it because of […]
