🔮 Police believe there may be additional victims.
🔮 From a new Super Bowl favorite to a stunning injury-driven collapse and a surprise leader in the Rookie of the Year race, oddsmakers have been busy adjusting their forecasts.
🔮 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (-7) over Tennessee Titans The Colts haven’t exactly set the world on fire this season, but they just might be better than their 2-3 record suggests.
🔮 The decision would keep open the possibility of Hurts returning before the mandatory four-game absence that comes with an IR stint.
🔮 The legendary coach indicated Friday on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he would prefer a smaller field than the one reportedly coming in 2027.
🔮 “We felt like it wasn’t improving and maybe even getting a little bit worse,” Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday.
🔮 The Seahawks will host the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” next week as they look to get back above .500.
🔮 After struggling through an injury-plagued regular season, the Guardians superstar has been red-hot this postseason, batting .333 with a .667 slugging percentage. He’s cleared 1.5 total bases in four of his last five games, which includes two home runs, a triple, a double and a three-hit performance in Cleveland’s ALCS Game 1 victory over the Rays as he enjoys one of his best stretches of 2026. And there’s reason to believe his hot streak will continue Thursday when the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3 with the series tied 1-1. Tampa Bay will send Griffin Jax to the mound, a familiar opponent for Ramirez from the right-hander’s years with the Twins.
🔮 With the Cowboys set to visit Lambeau Field for a Sunday night showdown against the Packers, the superstar pass rusher made it clear that his health takes precedence over any potential payback.
🔮 Coming off a 23-13 loss to the Vikings on their home field, Benson ripped her team’s performance on Tuesday, indicating that changes could soon come if improvements aren’t made.
