4+ week, 13+ hour ago (614+ words) The top seven teams were unchanged in the final poll before the College Football Playoff committee releases its first rankings Tuesday night to kick off the run-up to the CFP bracket release Dec. 7. No. 1 Ohio State, which pulled way in the second half to beat Penn State, is at the top of the AP poll for a 10th straight week. Indiana, which scored 50-plus points against a Big Ten opponent for the third time while hammering Maryland, is No. 2 for a third straight week. The Buckeyes and Hoosiers again were followed by Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon and Mississippi. Losses by Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Miami shuffled the Nos. 8, 9 and 10 spots, now held by BYU, Texas Tech and Notre Dame. The distribution of first-place votes was the same as last week. Ohio State received 54, Indiana got 11 and Texas A&M…...

3+ day, 13+ hour ago (344+ words) Thanksgiving and football. There may not be a more perfect pairing - not even turkey and gravy can compare. Thursday's lineup of games will be must-watch football from start to finish. An NFC North clash between the Lions and Packers kicks off the action; the struggling Chiefs visit Dallas; and Joe Burrow returns for the Bengals' trip to Baltimore. All three game totals are over 47 points, meaning there should be plenty of scoring from teams loaded with superstars on both sides of the ball. Here's everything you need to know before betting on the Thanksgiving Day slate.

3+ week, 6+ day ago (407+ words) Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor took offense at running back Chase Brown's comments following Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears. Brown expressed his frustration with the Bengals' defense postgame after the Bears scored a game-winning touchdown with under a minute remaining. "We put the ball in the end zone and go up a point at the end, finish the f-----g game," Brown told reporters in the locker room Sunday, according to James Rapien of Bengalstalk.com. "Like, just end it. That's it. That's what we need to do. Just end the f-----g game." Taylor, who has coached Brown since he entered the league as a fifth-round pick in 2023, called the running back's comments out of line but said he doesn't expect him to react that way again going forward. "Not if you're not doing everything you can, on your…...

12+ hour, 43+ min ago (406+ words) Going 6-8 against the spread last week stings. What's worse is going 0-4 in spreads decided by one point, essentially winding up on the wrong side of four straight coin flips. The Ravens, Patriots, Chiefs, and Cardinals all failed to cover by the hook. Let's hope our fortune on these close calls turns around for Week 13. You can find our Sunday Night Football betting preview between the Broncos and Commanders in a separate article. This is the ultimate revenge game. Sam Darnold faces a Vikings team that let him walk in free agency and elected to go with J.J. McCarthy, who has significantly underperformed and is now in concussion protocol. The Vikings will start Max Brosmer in a horrible spot on the road in Seattle. The entire Seahawks roster will get up for this game to ensure their quarterback gets a convincing victory....

6+ day, 11+ hour ago (494+ words) " You can find the full tournament odds on ESPN BET and theScore Bet here The Players Era Festival has become the premier holiday tournament as 18 marquee programs gather in Las Vegas to compete for the crown and, more importantly, a $1-million NIL prize for the winner. This field is loaded with national title contenders. Houston, Gonzaga, Alabama, St. John's, Michigan, Tennessee, and others could easily earn Final Four trips in March. For now, bank on Alabama. The Crimson Tide are as battle-tested as any team in the country. They've already played three top-15 opponents, defeating St. John's and Illinois but losing to current No. 1 Purdue. Alabama's odds are longer because it plays Gonzaga in the opener Monday night. The loser will almost certainly be eliminated from championship contention in a group-play format. If Alabama can get past Gonzaga, those odds…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago (423+ words) Michael Carter II is an interesting pickup for an Eagles team that was getting desperate at corner. It remains to be seen how he'll fit in, as he's played his entire NFL career in the slot. Would Philly be willing to shift Cooper DeJean to the vacant outside corner spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell? That's certainly possible if Carter forces his way onto the field. Either way, this was about improving their talent level at an extremely thin position. The fit can be determined in the coming weeks. From the Jets' perspective, Carter became expendable when they acquired second-year player Jarvis Brownlee in a September trade with the Titans. Dealing from that position of strength to improve their non-existent receiver depth is a sensible move. The Steelers probably aren't done yet, as they're widely expected to be involved in the receiver…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago (319+ words) The rest of the country is looking up at the Big Ten in the first release of the College Football Playoff rankings for the 2025 season. Defending national champions Ohio State and Indiana top the initial list that dropped Tuesday, with the Big Ten duo sitting at a perfect 17-0 on the season thus far. Texas A&M and Alabama sit third and fourth, respectively, and would be the final two teams to receive a bye for the opening round of the playoffs if the season ended today. While Memphis is not ranked in the top 25, the Tigers would be included in the 12-team playoff field as the highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion. That would eliminate Oklahoma from the playoff in this scenario, as Virginia also nabs an automatic spot as the ACC winner, bumping out Texas. Last year saw the top…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago (636+ words) The Cowboys welcome the Cardinals to Dallas for Monday Night Football to close out Week 9.
