The biggest game of the college football season took place in mid-October when the Oregon Ducks traveled to their neighbors in the Pacific Northwest to take on the Washington Huskies. That game delivered in every way,  shape and form, with the Huskies edging out the Ducks by a final score of 36-33 thanks to a […]

Conference championship weekend is here, and there isn’t a game that looks more lopsided on paper than the Big Ten Championship game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Iowa Hawkeyes. These two teams squared off in the Big Ten Championship game back in 2021, where the result wasn’t one Iowa fans wish to remember fondly. […]

The MLB hot stove is beginning to heat up. This is around the time when rumors start flying regarding potential player movement via trades or free agency and teams act on those rumors in order to make their team better to make a run at the World Series. Sometimes, however, some rumors turn out to […]

The Los Angeles Rams cruised to victory this week. They traveled to Arizona to take on the Cardinals and handled them with ease, taking them down by a final score of 37-14. Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns, with two of them going to Tyler Higbee and Kyren Williams apiece. Williams carried the Rams in his […]

The Carolina Panthers’ circle of ineptitude under new owner David Tepper continues with yet another coaching firing. David Tepper bought control of the Panthers back in 2018. Excluding interim head coaches, the Panthers will be on their fourth head coach in six years after the announcement on Monday that head coach Frank Reich got fired […]

When Anthony Richardson suffered his season-ending shoulder injury in Week 5, the Indianapolis Colts season looked toast. The Colts were 3-2 at the time after taking down their division rival in the Tennessee Titans, but they would go on to lose their next three games and move to 3-5 on the season. Things were looking […]

All good things must come to an end. The Civil War might need to be added to the list. Not an actual Civil War, but the rivalry game between Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers. Oregon football is moving to the Big Ten after this season as part of the Pac-12 exodus. All that […]

They say all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, that may be the case with the Apple Cup. The Washington football team is moving to the Big Ten after this season as part of the Pac-12 exodus that occurred during the summer. All that is left of the Pac-12 conference are the Washington […]

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow is one of the better pitchers the sport of baseball has, when he’s healthy at least. In 2021, Glasnow really burst onto the scene as one of the best pitchers in the majors by posting a 2.66 ERA, a 0.932 WHIP, a 12.6 strikeout per nine innings rate, and […]

The Egg Bowl is one of the better, wackier, crazier, and bitter rivalries in all of college football. Weird things tend to happen all the time when Ole Miss and Mississippi State square off against each other. Even though there is a large discrepancy with these teams’ records on the season, their matchup this week […]

The Washington Wizards are bad. Not only are the Wizards bad, but they’re literally comically bad, with a new Jordan Poole moment to spur laughter seemingly each and every night. Tuesday brought yet another doozy. While trailing by 10 in the 4th Quarter, Jordan Poole ran about 12 seconds off the game-clock on his own […]

The Utah Jazz got off to a great start last season. Around this time last season, the Jazz were 12-6 with a +3.9 net rating that ranked seventh in the NBA at the time, per NBA.com. Lauri Markkanen was just beginning what would become his breakout season and Jordan Clarkson looked rejuvenated as a starter. […]

The first ever NFL game to take place on Black Friday will kick off this week when the Miami Dolphins travel to East Rutherford, New Jersey to take on the New York Jets. These teams could not be going in more polar opposite directions at the moment. The Dolphins, fresh off a 20-13 win over […]

The Dallas Cowboys host a home game on Thanksgiving every year, and those games almost always deliver. Hopefully, this game against the Washington Commanders follows suit. On paper, it doesn’t look like that will be the case. The Dallas Cowboys are 7-3 and have a point differential of +127. The Commanders, on the other hand, […]

While the Thanksgiving treat is usually reserved for the food served on the holiday, the NFL is doing its best to try to top that. There are three games on Thanksgiving and all of them look like very appealing matchups. First, the Green Bay Packers go to Detroit to take on the rising Lions. Then, […]

Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani hits free agency as arguably (probably?) the best player in Major League Baseball, as he proved, at least in the American League, last season after winning his second MVP award, this one coming with a unanimous vote. He is a generational player who just happens to be stuck with […]

The Chicago Bulls are going nowhere fast. After missing the playoffs entirely last season and suffering a gentleman’s sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks, things are looking even worse this season. They’re 5-9 to start this season and have a -3.3 point differential that ranks 22nd in the NBA. Their -3.5 net rating […]

The Chicago Bulls are not a very good basketball team. They really haven’t been one at all since they acquired DeMar DeRozan to pair with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic save for the first half of the 2021-22 season when Lonzo Ball was healthy. But that was a long time ago, and the Bulls have […]

The Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals face off in Week 11 in a matchup of two exciting young quarterbacks in rookie MVP candidate CJ Stroud and the recently returned Kyler Murray. Ahead of this Texans-Cardinals, Stroud-Murray matchup, let’s make some bold Texans Week 11 predictions. The Texans have a ton of momentum on their side […]

The New York Giants have a big NFC East showdown in Week 11 with the Washington Commanders. The team is 2-8 and gunning for the No. 1 pick, but the team on the field will be fired up to try and beat a division rival. With that in mind, here are a few bold Giants […]

There are four matchups this week consisting of two teams both ranked in the latest College Football Playoff rankings squaring off against each other. If the Washington Huskies taking on the Oregon State Beavers is the headliner at 7:30 eastern time, then the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs taking on the 18th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers in […]

One of the best stories in college football just keeps on cruising and winning. Not much was expected from the Arizona Wildcats in football this season. They didn’t get the memo. Despite their quarterback getting injured early in the season, they haven’t missed a beat at all. Redshirt freshman Noah Fifita is playing excellent ball […]

Ohio State’s tilt this week against the Minnesota Golden Gophers isn’t exactly the most prolific college football matchup of the Week 12 slate, but it could be a fun one for Buckeyes fans, so let’s make some bold Ohio State predictions. There are four matchups this weekend between teams ranked inside the College Football Playoff […]

There are four college football games this weekend between teams ranked in the third iteration of the College Football Playoff Committee’s top 25 rankings. The biggest one will take place in Corvallis, Oregon when the Oregon State Beavers take on the Washington Huskies in a huge football game. The Huskies are fifth in the latest […]

Thursday Night Football doesn’t always treat NFL fans with the best games in a given week, but this week looks to be an exception. The Cincinnati Bengals, who currently occupy last place in the absolutely loaded AFC North, travel to Baltimore to take on the first-place Baltimore Ravens. It isn’t all doom and gloom for […]

Trade season is approaching. Though teams are able to make trades whenever they please, the trade market really opens up on December 15th when free agents signed in the summer become trade eligible. This could really help a team like the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors poked their head around the Damian Lillard sweepstakes before the […]

Things were looking very bleak for the Denver Broncos after the first six weeks of the NFL season. Really, even before that. The Broncos started the season 0-3, with two of those losses coming via blown fourth quarter leads to the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders. The other loss was the 70-20 bloodbath at […]

The Toronto Raptors were in the trade market for Damian Lillard when he requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers this summer, but they weren’t able to bring him in. Perhaps they have another chance to land a different dynamic, bucket-getting All-Star guard just a few weeks into the 2023-24 season. Zach LaVine and […]

The Los Angeles Chargers put up plenty of numbers and pushed a very good team in the Detroit Lions in their Week 10 loss. Once again, however, it was all for naught and in a losing manner, as seems to be customary for the Chargers as a franchise. They lost 41-38 on a last-second field […]

The Detroit Lions remain one of the best stories in the entire NFL. That story continued on Sunday in Los Angeles. The Lions embarked on a shootout with the Chargers and lived to tell the tale, winning by a final score of 41-38. The Lions finished the job by going for it on 4th and […]

The Seattle Seahawks entered Week 10 tied atop the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers. They still find themselves there after a last-second win over the Washington Commanders by a final score of 29-26. Geno Smith had perhaps his best game of the season, as he finished with 369 yards and two touchdowns through […]

It wasn’t that long ago that the Atlanta Falcons were in first place in the NFC South this season. The Falcons began the season 2-0 and held a one-game lead over the New Orleans Saints and a half-game lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after their last-second win over the Bucs in Week 7 to […]

The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers are two of the biggest and most prestigious franchises in the NFL, and they have plenty of history. The most notable came in Super Bowl XLV, when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers took down Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers to win their fourth Super Bowl in franchise history. […]

The Indiana Pacers are off to a great start to the 2023-24 season. They don’t have much to complain about. They have the third-best record in the Eastern Conference at 6-3, trailing only the Philadelphia 76ers (6-1) and the Boston Celtics (5-2) in the standings. Only the Denver Nuggets (8-1), Dallas Mavericks (6-2) and Minnesota […]

There are four matchups between ranked teams that were ranked in the College Football Playoff Committee’s second edition of their rankings which were released on Tuesday. One of those matchups is going to take place in Columbia, Missouri when the 14th-ranked Missouri Tigers host the 13th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers. Neither team seems likely to catch the […]

Who would’ve thought that after Week 1, the fun, rising, upstart Pac-12 team moving to the Big 12 in the matchup between the Arizona Wildcats and the Colorado Buffaloes would be Arizona? The Wildcats taking on the Buffaloes isn’t the most notable matchup on the college football slate this weekend, but it sure is slated […]

There are four matchups this week that feature two teams ranked inside the top-25 of the new College Football Playoff rankings that were released on Tuesday. While no game likely will rise to the level of importance of the Michigan and Penn State matchup early Saturday morning, Ole Miss and Georgia comes close. The two-time […]

The game with the biggest College Football Playoff implications is taking place in Happy Valley this weekend. The Penn State Nittany Lions, ranked tenth in the newly minted College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday, host the third-ranked Michigan Wolverines on Saturday afternoon. It is one of four games this weekend to feature two teams […]

USC prepares to take on Oregon in Week 11 in what should have been an excellent college football showdown. However, USC’s season has not gone the way they wanted it to. With Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams returning, the sky was the limit for the Trojans. Though everyone knew their defensive was not going to be […]
