Though Madden has only nailed the exact score in one instance — the Patriots sl...
Joel Embiid, Immanuel Quickley, and other picks to guide your DFS slate

Chiefs’ line must give Mahomes time to get the ball to playmakers
We know the storyline. Patrick Mahomes vs. Tom Brady for the Super Bowl, the GOAT vs the young phenom, the thinking man’s veteran vs. arguably the most gifted arm we’ve ever seen.

Tom Brady epitomizes the, “Ugh, I hate that guy,’ sentiment in sports fans … but, why?
Sports fans are a weird bunch. I know this, because I am one. As we grow, it’s important to analyze our own thoughts and biases, and why we feel the way we do about things.

Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far.
