Kyler Murray and Cardinals give Rams a two-piece spicy combo in L.A.
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are for real. They showed it to us in Week 1 when they smacked up the Tennessee Titans. Now they’ve done the same thing to the Rams, who were coming off a dominant performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week ago....

Chargers need a statement win over Raiders on Monday Night Football
When the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders battle the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 4 edition of Monday Night Football, the latter can make a massive statement by nabbing consecutive wins in a tough AFC West. After beating the Chiefs in Kansas City last week, you could argue that the Chargers would be...
Liverpool and Manchester City hurl everything at each other in game of the season
It’s rare that games between the top-table inhabitants of soccer can live up to the billing. They usually cancel each other out, the fear of losing greatly outweighing the benefit of winning, and you might get the odd goal here or there in contests that are high on tension and intrigue but low on an...
These Bengals might be for real
The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t that bad. OK, they’ve been pretty good through the first month of the season, and I don’t think anyone outside of Cincy saw this kind of start on the horizon. A 3-1 start to the season, a road division victory over the floundering Steelers in Pittsburgh, and sole posses...

For the sake of Group of Five teams, Cincy needs to win today
Depending on who you ask, college football may or may not have a problem. If you ask a fan of any Power 5 conference, I’m sure most of them would tell you there is nothing wrong with the current college football landscape. However, most fans of Group of Five teams would probably tell you there is an...

NFL Week 4 Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser, and Prop Bets
If not for a fluke missed extra point at the end of Chargers-Chiefs last week, we’d be coming off a perfect 4-0 week. But nothing wrong with a 3-0-1 showing (thanks to buying the half-point there)....
NFL Week 4: Brady vs. Belichick steals the show, while every 3-0 team gets a test
Week 4 of the NFL is obviously headlined by Tom Brady’s return to Gillette Stadium. It’s widely believed that Brady’s departure from New England wasn’t as clean and professional as Brady would like us all to believe. At the same time, Brady has come out and stated that his exit from the Patriots was...

Thursday Night Football is a rematch of the 2020 BCS Championship — but the real story is Urban Meyer’s incompetence
Some people consider Trevor Lawrence’s Clemson career one of the greatest college careers of all-time. The man never lost a regular-season game, won a National Championship, and was promptly drafted first overall as soon as he became eligible....
Houdini, thy name is Ole Gunnar
While most every Manchester United supporter you know will scream at you about what a sneaky good manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is, and certainly never in a tone or volume that will make you think they’re trying to convince themselves as much as they are you, the urge for all of us who don’t support t...
Kellen Moore is going to get a head coaching job before Eric Bieniemy and Byron Leftwich because he's white
When “Black Monday” — the annual day when NFL head coaches get fired after the regular season — takes place in January, the last two offensive coordinators that have won Super Bowls will more than likely find themselves in a situation where they’ll be watching a younger colleague yet to make the pla...
Richard Sherman has the right message — can only hope he’s the right messenger
I was hard on the Bucs for considering signing Richard Sherman back when it was rumored, and, probably, a touch unfair. Perhaps I was too focused on the Bucs and the feeling they’re giving off of getting away with anything now after signing Antonio Brown last season, and every observer thinking it w...
