The Dodgers and Blue Jays are currently squaring off in the Fall Classic, each in the top five in MLB in payroll spending. The fiscal advantage enjoyed by certain clubs, particularly the Dodgers, is once again prominent. On the other hand, this postseason saw the Brewers – who play in a market smaller than Kansas […]

Another week of Big Ten football has passed, and it is becoming increasingly clear where each team stands in the conference. With that, let’s get right into the games. As usual, we will start with the blowouts first and work our way to the best games of the weekend. The Blowouts No.2 Indiana 56, UCLA […]

Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]
Over at The Athletic today , Jim Bowden ranks the top 50 MLB free agents, together with contract comps, predictions, and potential fits. I will offer my usual caveat: these types of articles can be interesting and informative in a broad sense – giving you a look at the landscape, overviews on players, very rough ideas on contract expectations, etc. You don’t want to take too much away from the specific Cubs mentions, for example, even if it’s interesting to see. To that end, I will say th...
When the Colorado Buffaloes and Arizona Wildcats take the field on November 1, it’ll be under the bright lights of Folsom Field, as the Big 12 announced that kickoff time for next week’s contest between the Buffs and Cats will be 5:00 p.m. MT. Colorado hasn’t been a stranger to night games this season, with […]
How you view Duke’s performance after two exhibitions says a lot about whether you are a “glass half full” or “glass half empty” fan. The optimistic bunch will be focused on two victories over power conference opponents in games that looked like exhibitions in name only. That, plus two transcendent performances from Cameron Boozer—had Sunday […]
Each week, we look at the opening odds for the Tennessee Titans. Each week, they are a double-digit underdog. This week, they are a 10.5-point underdog at home against the Los Angeles Chargers over at FanDuel Sportsbook. That number isn’t big enough. I wouldn’t bet the Titans at anything less than +21.5. The Chargers come […]
On Sunday night in downtown Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves opened their home schedule with a 114-110 win over the Indiana Pacers. Given the Pacers’ lengthy injury report, it was a game the Wolves needed to win. Despite Anthony Edwards playing just over three minutes, leaving the game with right hamstring tightness, the Timberwolves found a […]

Just 4% responded that they were […]
The Phantoms, with a record of 4-2-1 and a third in the division points percentage through their first seven games of the season, are off to one of their more productive starts to a season since their relocation to the Lehigh Valley, but the road to get to this point hasn’t been an easy one. In their busiest week in the schedule to date — that is, their first week with three games on the schedule — the Phantoms faced a wild bit of volatility in both play and results. Coming off of a huge ...
Backheeled explores the Sounders’ frugal — but effective — roster-building strategy.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, every member of our contributor panel picked the Chiefs to win. Half of them expected a blowout — and as a group, they thought Kansas City would win 33-18. While that aggregate prediction also called for a blowout, it nonetheless carried 36 […]

Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
“It’s a passing league.” That’s been one of the mantras of NFL analysts for years. Since the explosion of offenses in the 2000s, like the Greatest Show on Turf or the proliferation of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, the passing game has taken over the league. But even at the core of those beliefs remained […]

So much complaining about the officials and how they favor the Celtics. The refs have a funny way of favoring the Celtics by giving Detroit 36 free throws to 24 for the Celtics. If every Celtic gave the effort of Payton Pritchard on the boards, the Celtics would be a lot better. Shortest guy on the court led the team in rebounds. On to New Orleans and hopefully a win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? This needs to be a win. Home opener, ...
The NBA isn’t truly back until a Lakers opponent crashes out over free throws and, boy, are we so back. On Sunday, Austin Reaves poured in a career-high 51 points to lead the shorthanded Lakers past the Kings in Sacramento. It was a remarkable performance from Reaves, who only continues to improve every year in […]
Boo! Halloween may be at the tail end of this week, but the spooks and scares are all over the Toronto Raptors’ opening schedule. After getting bullied by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, and Cooper Flagg, the Raps’ schedule doesn’t get any less daunting. This week’s opponents feature an alien, Aquaman, a Spider, and someone likely […]
