The Philadelphia Eagles walked away with a victory in the NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday. They beat the Dallas Cowboys 24-20. However, it wasn’t all lollipops and rainbows for the Eagles. Although grinding out wins is essential in the NFL, the team showcased some noticeable flaws that could make repeating as Super Bowl champions more […]

CeeDee Lamb had a disastrous performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Kickoff Game. The star receiver, who is considered one of the best players in the NFL, had three dropped passes in the Dallas Cowboys’ first game of the year. All of those drops were costly, and two of them came in the […]

The Atlanta Braves have been one of the most disappointing teams of the 2025 season. They came into the season as a potential championship-caliber team. In fact, ChatGPT predicted them to win the 2025 World Series. Instead, the Braves are 14 games under .500, so they will need to retool for next season. Injuries and […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks were in the World Series just two years ago. Now, they are on the outside looking in of the National League playoff picture. They were even trade deadline sellers earlier this year, as they made two of the biggest moves before the deadline when they sent Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez to […]

The Baltimore Orioles took a huge step back this season. They came into the year with championship aspirations because of their young core of former elite prospects, but instead, they have been one of the biggest disappointments in the league. The team is currently 64-76 and well out of the playoff picture, and they were […]

The first game of the NFL season is scheduled for Thursday. Each team will be fighting to make the playoffs, but individual players will strive to make a name for themselves by winning awards and accomplishing different accolades. Of course, there is no award more prestigious than the MVP. The league is filled with superstars […]

The MLB postseason is less than a month away, and there are some close Wild Card and Divisional battles in both the American League and the National League. Ties are somewhat rare in a 162-game season, but they are far from unheard of. Tiebreaker rules were recently changed in MLB, so how will they work […]

The Colorado Rockies are in the midst of one of the worst seasons in modern MLB history. They are currently 39-101, so although they likely won’t break the Chicago White Sox record from last season for most losses, they will likely just narrowly get past 40 wins. The team is a dumpster fire that needs […]

There is less than a month left in the MLB regular season, and a run to the World Series in the National League is truly wide open. The conference as a whole is stacked with talent, and it wasn’t until recently that the playoff picture started clearing up. So, which team in the NL currently […]

There is less than a month to go in MLB’s regular season. Playoff pictures are becoming clearer, but there are still plenty of spots up for grabs. So, what are standings looking like in the American League on Sept. 3, and which teams are battling it out for the final postseason spots? AL division leaders […]

The NFL season consists of each of the 32 teams playing 17 games over an 18-week regular season. That means that each team has one bye week. Bye weeks allow teams to freshen up and get healthy during a long and taxing season before the postseason starts up. During the 2025 season, bye weeks will […]

There are plenty of ways to add talent to an NFL roster during the offseason. This includes the NFL Draft and free-agent acquisitions. The other way to add talent during the offseason is through trades, and the 2025 offseason saw tons of big-name stars move from one team to another. Most notably, Micah Parsons was […]

The Green Bay Packers have a deep roster, particularly at receiver. In fact, the team has one of the best receiving corps in the NFL. Jordan Love has such a plethora of pass catchers to throw to that it was inevitable that somebody talented wasn’t going to make the 53-man roster. Even so, one receiver […]

The San Francisco 49ers lost a lot of talent in the offseason. Deebo Samuel, Aaron Banks, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, Charvarius Ward, Leonard Floyd, Javon Hargrave, and Maliek Collins all found new homes this offseason, which resulted in the biggest free agent spending deficit in league history. If the 49ers want to compete for a […]

The Chicago Bears had a busy offseason that saw them bring in tons of talent. The hope is that it will result in a sizable improvement to their record and even a potential playoff push. A year after drafting Caleb Williams, the Bears gave him more protection and offensive weapons. The team brought in Joe […]

The United States women’s national team has won four World Cup championships and five Olympic gold medals since it became a team in 1985. Women’s soccer was first played in the World Cup in 1991, and 1996 was the first year it was an Olympic sport. Team USA has dominated since the get-go. In the […]

By 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 26, all 32 NFL teams had to trim their rosters down to 53 players. The cut deadline is widely regarded as the hardest day to be an NFL coach, player, or front-office member. Certain players get cut because of bad contracts or injury concerns, and others simply lose […]

The NFL preseason is over, and teams are in the process of cutting their rosters down to 53 players. With positional competitions around the league being all but over for the most part, there is more clarity on how the season may play out. Here are record predictions and potential playoff outcomes for all 32 […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a deep roster, and that depth is coming into play before the season has even started because the team has been decimated by injuries. The health of the Buccaneers will make for an interesting cut-down day. So who will make the 53-man roster after cuts are made on Tuesday? Quarterback […]

Every NFL team has to trim their roster down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The numbers game is cruel in the NFL, and considering teams carry 90 players during the offseason, nearly half of the players fighting for a roster spot won’t make the cut. Undrafted players and low […]

The Chicago Bears loaded up on offensive linemen and weapons for quarterback Caleb Williams to get the ball to in the offseason. Now, with the addition of Ben Johnson as their coach, Chicago is expected to take a massive leap forward. They could even be one of the surprise contenders in the NFL this season. […]

The most anticipated FIFA World Cup ever is less than a year away. In 2026, a record-breaking 48 teams will face off in the biggest and best FIFA World Cup to date. Three host nations, the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada, will foster games for the most prestigious soccer tournament in the world. […]

With an improving group of playmakers, a quarterback poised to break out, tons of talent in the trenches, and a stacked defensive unit, the Denver Broncos have built quite an impressive roster. After a near-decade-long slump, the Broncos seem primed to establish themselves as one of the best teams in the NFL. So just who […]

The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs are two of the most intriguing teams heading into the 2025 NFL season. The Bears had an incredible offseason highlighted by the additions of a number of players, including elite prospect pass catchers Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, as well as a number of offensive linemen. The Chiefs […]

The Houston Texans went 3-13-1 just two years ago. They ended up with two top-three draft picks after that, and that kicked off a quick and effective rebuild. Houston has won 10 games in each of the last two seasons, and they could be even better in 2025. So, who will make the 53-man roster […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have made the Super Bowl in five of the last six seasons. That is enough to qualify them as a true dynasty, so clearly the team has had an elite roster throughout the years. The Chiefs are coming off a loss in Super Bowl 59, so the current iteration of the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 59 because they were loaded with star talent and had unmatched depth. The team had an underwhelming offseason that saw a lot of their best players depart, though. Notably, Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, Mekhi Becton, Isaiah Rodgers, Kenneth Gainwell, Darius Slay, James Bradberry, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson all found new […]

The Cleveland Browns re-signed Myles Garrett with the promise that they’d be ready to compete for the championship sooner rather than later, but the 53-man roster might not yet be of contention status. The Browns’ quarterback competition, which was at least temporarily resolved when Joe Flacco was announced as the Week 1 starter, has been […]

The 2024 NFL season was the perfect example of why insurance is so important in fantasy football. Coming off a season where he went for 2,000 scrimmage yards, Christian McCaffrey was the undisputed No. 1 pick in fantasy football leagues. Unfortunately, McCaffrey didn’t live up to his draft position. Calf and Achilles injuries delayed his […]

The 2024 NFL Draft class was stacked with rookies who thrived on the field and put up huge fantasy football numbers. There were six first-round quarterbacks, and Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, Drake Maye, and Michael Penix Jr. all made big impacts during their first seasons. Malik Nabers also broke the rookie record for […]

Many fantasy football managers devalue the quarterback position. There tends to be more talent that could be found late in drafts at the quarterback position than there is at other positions. Last year, for example, 20 different signal-callers surpassed 200 fantasy points, whereas only 12 running backs and three receivers did that in standard fantasy […]

Week 2 of the NFL’s preseason is wrapping up. The real thing, when wins and losses count and when starters won’t be resting, is just around the corner. The league is more stacked with star talent than ever before, and tons of stud footballers will be looking to win major NFL awards this year. So, […]

The tight end position used to be incredibly thin in fantasy football. If managers didn’t get Travis Kelce or George Kittle early in drafts, they were usually stuck with players at the position that wouldn’t score very many points. That is no longer the case. A tight end revival has restocked the talent at the […]

The Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders have both had training camp and offseason drama involving some of their best players. For the Bengals, Trey Hendrickson has long been involved in trade rumors as Cincinnati has been unwilling to give him a new contract. In Washington, Terry McLaurin has also been in a contract dispute, which […]

For many NFL teams, Week 2 of the preseason is when the starters see substantial playing time. The Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts either don’t know who their starting quarterback is yet or will be without them this week. Jordan Love just had thumb surgery and will miss the game against the Colts, and […]

Major conclusions shouldn’t be taken away from Week 1 of the NFL preseason. After all, starters rarely play extended minutes during the first game in which fans get to see players on the field in live competition again. Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons fans should certainly heed that advice because both teams had disastrous performances […]

NFL fans will always tune in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs, even when they are only playing in a preseason game. Football’s most polarizing team has made five of the last six Super Bowls. Their fanbase is full of diehards, but the rest of the league loves to hate them. Regardless of where fandom […]

Alvin Kamara has long been one of the best running backs in fantasy football, especially in PPR leagues. Many have expected regression out of the pass-catching back for years now, but even at age 30, he is still going strong. Kamara’s New Orleans Saints don’t have a pretty outlook for their upcoming season, but can […]

The Houston Texans went into last season with what many thought would be the best receiving corps in football and a quarterback primed to break out and win MVP. C.J. Stroud experienced a sophomore slump, though, and Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Stefon Diggs struggled with injuries. Dell will miss the 2025 season, and Diggs […]
