It will be a Noon kickoff tomorrow in Atlanta as the Syracuse Orange (3-4, 1-3) take on the #7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-0, 4-0). Georgia Tech is a 16.5 point favorite according to FanDuel. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and here’s what we predict will happen: Kevin (5-2): Georgia Tech 33, Syracuse […]
Fresh off a dominant win over the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys hit the road this week to take on the Denver Broncos. Dallas has not defeated Denver in nearly 30 years, so the Cowboys will look to break that long streak on Sunday afternoon. Before the two teams square off, here are three bold […]
We are mere days away from the start of the 2025-26 college basketball season. Well, to be exact, we’re exactly nine days away, but who’s counting?! The Mountain West remains one of the best non-power conferences in Division-I, but there will be plenty of question heading into the new season with as much turnover as […]
Welcome to The Shotgun/Throwdown, your daily West Virginia sports roundup (that we didn’t already talk about in another article) with some sophomoric humor and daily distractions thrown in for good measure. And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. LUCKY 13 West Virginia women’s soccer extended their unbeaten streak to 13 […]
Well, here we are. Up until now, I took this article about as serious as I did high school Spanish. No more. Thanks to Miami blowing the game to Louisville last Friday night, I now to have to pay attention to conference standings, root for certain teams, blah blah blah. Super lame. At least I […]
The Chicago Bears are looking to keep their winning ways going with a tough test on the road. Using the word test when talking about a 1-5 Ravens team seems odd, but the Baltimore Ravens were preseason Super Bowl favorites. The Ravens have been plagued by bad injury luck and bad defensive play. However, the […]
As the World Series moved across town, the Yankees had the Mets flat on the mat. They’d won a pair of thrillers, outlasting the Mets with a walk-off in Game 1 before holding on for dear life in a memorable Game 2. With a 2-0 lead in hand, they took the train to Queens with […]
Major League Baseball has come down to the last series of the 2025 season, the World Series. Upon the completion of the best-0f-seven series beginning Friday, all of MLB will begin their offseason. Although the Padres are in the midst of a managerial search that will need to be completed before the serious work of […]
The 2025 MLB playoffs began without a clear favorite. Jeff Passan’s postseason preview opened with the line, “The Los Angeles Dodgers were supposed to break baseball. Instead they just broke.” Eighteen days later, Dave Roberts accepted the Warren C. Giles Trophy for clinching the NLCS and said, “Let’s get four more wins and really ruin […]
It seems impossible that the Detroit Tigers would actually do it. A team that is a true World Series contender should never consider such a thing. Despite it lacking all common sense and defies instincts of self preservation, there apparently is a chance that the best pitcher in baseball, the soon-to-be 29-year-old left-handed flame-thrower Tarik […]
With the 2025 Major League Baseball season coming to a close, award season is nigh and on Thursday two Cardinals were named finalists for the Silver Slugger.

Wow, it’s crazy that we had another bye week so soon. I mean there was definitely not a game last week, so another bye week must be what that was. These Huskers are going to be refreshed and motivated when the Wildcats come to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. #1 PROTECTING THE QUARTERBACK It’s pretty hard […]
Four Big 12 teams begin the 2025-26 women’s college basketball season ranked in the top 25: No. 14 Iowa State, No. 16 Baylor, No. 17 TCU and No. 22 Oklahoma State. It is a bit curious that the conference’s defending regular-season and tournament champs, TCU, is not the highest-ranked Big 12 team, even though they […]
The Dallas Mavericks kicked off their 2025-26 campaign against the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday at the American Airlines Center, a thrashing by Victor Wembanyama and Co.

A report from Mundo Deportivo claims that Madrid […]

Former Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta has attempted to cool the rising tension ahead of Sunday’s El Clásico, calling it “the biggest game there is” and urging everyone to focus on the football rather than the noise surrounding it. Speaking at the second International Congress on Health Communication at Vall d’Hebron Hospital alongside basketball star Ricky […]
The Los Angeles Rams have had the week off as they prepare for the meat of their schedule over the second half of the season. Given how well the Rams have been playing, it wouldn’t have hurt for the bye week to come later in the season. However, this will be a good time to […]
