The brains of football fans should be studied for science. Maybe we should not just limit it to fans, but perhaps anyone in and around the game at all.

As Syracuse travels to South Bend this weekend, the Orange enter as 35.5-point underdogs against ninth-ranked Notre Dame, according to FanDuel. The sportsbook also projects a total of 51.5 points for the matchup.

There were 11 games by B1G teams against high-majors and the conference more than held its own in those games, going 9-2 in those important matchups. The formula […]
Premier League clean sheet projections are a key factor in figuring out which defenders stand out in FPL. Beyond those valuable 3 points, nothing excites managers more than seeing their team keep a clean sheet. FPL bosses feel the same way – shutouts reward defenders with 4 points and midfielders with an extra point. So, […]
Recently, Bob Nightengale published a list of major league players who could potentially be moved this offseason.

The BBWAA has officially revealed the ballot for potential induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2026 and the Atlanta Braves will have a trio of former players on the ballot this time around — though I’d imagine that all eyes will once again be on the one who has been on this ballot […]
One of the most anticipated events of the offseason has arrived. On Monday afternoon, the National Baseball Hall of Fame released its ballot for potential 2026 inductees now under consideration by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Earlier this year, former Yankees CC Sabathia and Ichiro Suzuki both earned baseball’s highest honor. This year, several […]

The National Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday announced the ballot for the 2026 class, with 12 new players joining the 15 holdovers who earned at least five percent on the 2025 ballot.

The Nashville Predators can't hide the fact that this team just isn't going to compete for the Stanley Cup or the playoffs. It is time for them to rebuild, as the retool hasn't worked. To do that, some of the top sellable pieces will have to be traded. This includes the top players who signed last offseason. David Pagnotta said, "I do think both Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault are willing, will be willing, to move to a top-tier contender." Stamkos and Marchessault are both Stanley Cup...
