Hello everyone, and welcome to the Week 9 Minnesota Vikings roundtable here at Daily Norseman. The Vikes are coming off a blowout loss on Thursday Night Football to the Chargers. Now they’re not only on the road again, but against one of the nastiest teams in the entire NFL. Can the Vikings beat the Lions […]
Bryce Young is back today for the Carolina Panthers. Rico Dowdle is reportedly getting the start and lion’s share of the carries this week. Everything is looking up for the Panthers upset chances against the Super Bowl hopeful Packers, right? Ignore the continuing chaos along the injury-plagued offensive line, the mixed blessing that has been […]

It is a perfectly fine and normal reaction this morning to have woken up and proclaimed that the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series last night. In a perfect world, they’d have. In the real world, the pretty much kind of did, for a bit, and that’s enough for most of us. That the […]
The Indianapolis Colts (7-1)(-3) travel to ‘The Steel City’ to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3), at what’s been a notoriously difficult road environment for the Horseshoe to play at historically throughout franchise history. Even ignoring the 1995 AFC Championship Game, the Colts are 1-13 all-time at Pittsburgh during the regular season, and their last […]

Celtics definitely looked like a team playing their 5th game in 7 days. They just didn't have the energy needed to win last night. The Rockets are good and big as well. They will cause problems for a lot of teams this season. It's odd to see compliments for the Celtics broadcast team. The free throw difference is wild. 35-7. It was nice though not to have half the comments complaining about the officials.giving the game to the Celtics. My f...
I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...
A tale of two halves on Saturday in Columbus. While the Buckeyes ultimately won 38-14 over Penn State, a costly fumble into an immediate touchdown brought Penn State within three points at the half. From then on, it was all Scarlet and Gray; Ohio State would shut out Penn State and put up 21 points […]
With a few sleepless hours between us and the end of the World Series, I want to give a hat tip to several Blue Jays players. Yesterday’s game hurt, but this was an incredible ride and a fantastic team. I learned a lot about how a team that pulls for each other can do more […]
#1 – Celtics got punked After the game, Abby Chin asked Payton Pritchard if there was any takeaway from the loss. The Celtics guard told the media, “I don’t even know if there is a takeaway from this game. I think you just kind of turn the page. They just punked us, and you gotta […]
The St. Louis Blues are a struggling team right now. There were pretty high expectations after making it into the playoffs last season and taking the Presidents' Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets to Game 7 of the first round. Not a lot was done in the offseason, but not much has gone right for a team somewhat stuck in the middle. The Blues don't exactly have superstars, even though Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou are very good. Other pieces that are expected to perform, just haven't so far, like Dyl...
Before the 2026 NHL Draft even hits the horizon, we’re breaking down three names Rangers fans need to know now: Oscar Holmertz, Caleb Malhotra, and Brooks Rogowski.
After a disastrous finish against the Rangers on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were looking to rebound (again) against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. The Oilers cleaned up against Chicago in 2024-25, but the Blackhawks are having a much stronger start to the season, and it was going to take a clean effort if our boys…
If you’ve seen it once, you’ve seen it a thousand times. A college football coach stands lonely on the sideline, deep in his thoughts. There’s no way he’s leading his team back from this one. He knows it. The players know it. The guy five Miller Lites in up in the nosebleeds knows it. And […]
Mazi Smith’s time with the Dallas Cowboys may be coming to an end. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Dallas is open to moving on from Smith before Tuesday’s trade deadline. Dallas also appears to be open to trading 2023 first-round DT Mazi Smith, who has only played in five games this season. This is the […]
Normally in this spot we do five predictions for an upcoming Seattle Seahawks game. Today, as the Seahawks prepare for their Sunday night game against the Washington Commanders, we’re doing something different and looking bigger picture. Besides, my in-game predictions have been a disaster. If you remember at the start of the season, the Field […]
While we’ve gotten an early look at this year’s North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team in the exhibition games against BYU and Winston-Salem State, Monday night will mark the official season opener for 2025-26. Tomorrow night, they will welcome Central Arkansas into the Smith Center to kick off this season, as they look to […]
Sunday is here, and with it comes one of the biggest regular season matchups on the NFL’s 2025 schedule. In today’s late afternoon window, the NFL gets a nationally televised game — a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game that features two of the league’s best teams and best quarterbacks. Yes, it’s the Buffalo […]
Before last season, Mizzou needed to erase the dread from the 2023-24 season. The mission was mostly accomplished. The Tigers got back to the NCAA Tournament, but they lost a frustrating game to Drake. Entering this season, the Big Dance appears to be a reasonable expectation. Whether Mizzou gets there or not depends on a […]
For the Arizona Cardinals, they are closer to picking top seven, than they are finishing up in the top seven of the NFL Playoffs. Yet, with their game against the Dallas Cowboys looming on Monday Night, they can make up some NFC ground tomorrow just in their game. They can also make up some ground […]
First off, let me say, hats off to any Tennessee Titans fans who are going to the game today. They are calling for around 50 degrees and rain at kickoff. Sitting in miserable weather to watch a miserable team takes serious commitment. The Los Angeles Chargers are not one of those teams that have a […]
Penn State entered 2025 as the #2 team in the nation. Now, they will host the nation’s #2 team while being unranked following a five-game losing stretch. Indiana has opened as a 13.5-point favorite over the Nittany Lions on Saturday, according to FanDuel. It’s no surprise Penn State is a home underdog, but the spread […]
Following a disappointing loss I believe it could be a good idea for Nebraska football fans (and this probably applies to any passionate fan base) to probably let their head hit the pillow and get seven to eight hours of sleep before waking up to fire out tweets. That includes me. After walking away from […]
Everton head north-east to take on Sunderland on Monday night, seeking just a second win in eight games in all competitions as their season begins to stall. The miserable result against Tottenham last weekend – a fourth defeat in six in all competitions – was best summed up by the image of disgruntled Toffees fans […]
