Michigan spent most of this season playing its game – and playing it well. Blessed with an abundance of talent, size, playmaking ability and depth, the Wolverines like to open it up on offense. And when Michigan gets rolling, it can be hard to handle. Michigan not only won a program-best 37 games this season, […]
The Orioles entered the year with plenty of public pessimism around their bullpen.

The 2026 NFL Draft is now a little under two weeks away. It’s a unique draft for the Bears in that they finally have a late first-round pick, a testament to how successful their 2025 season was. There’s plenty of great talent to be had near the end of each round, but it makes predicting […]

The Arizona Cardinals want to change their defense going into 2026. Lack of good tackling was an issue last year. So was the run defense and pass coverage of tight ends from the linebackers. Last year, Arizona ranked #27 in overall defense and #24 in pass defense. This offseason, the team lost several key players […]
As Kyle wrote in the preview, this game had legitimate stakes—a win for the Philadelphia 76ers (and other results) could have them move up to sixth place and avoid the play-in game(s), but a loss could have them in the 9-10 game against the Miami Heat. For the first half, the Bucks handled this well, […]
