Are the Chicago Bears that good? Full disclosure, I had a bet on Carolina +3 last Sunday, and if you would’ve told me the Panthers would average 7.7 yards per play and score 37 points, odds were good they would have covered or won the game outright. Problem is, Chicago scored 59. FOX Sports posted its weekly power ratings on Monday morning and the Bears were on line three, behind […]

The Northwestern Wildcats are staying the course for years to come. Northwestern announced on Thursday morning that it has extended head coach David Braun to a deal that keeps him in place through the 2031 college football season. "David Braun is the right leader today for Northwestern Football and for the years to come," Combe Family Vice President for Athletics and Recreation Mark Jackson said in a statement on Thursday […]

A lot has happened at UNC in a short period of time. Roughly two weeks after an internal investigation was launched regarding his conduct on team premises, North Carolina Tar Heels defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, the son of head coach Bill Belichick, has reportedly resigned from his role with the program, which will be effective on Oct. 27 following the end of his medical leave.

The NCAA agrees, but said it can't do anything about it. The NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee announced Wednesday that proper replay protocols weren't followed in Michigan's Hail Mary win, altering the outcome of the game. The committee also reiterated what the NCAA […]

LSU sack leader Princewill Umanmielen has been served legal papers related to a July lawsuit filed by the University of Mississippi which alleges that the former Rebels edge rusher owes Ole Miss $550,000 because of his decision to transfer to the rival Tigers. Records filed in Lafayette County Civil Court in Mississippi indicate that papers were served on Tuesday, just five days before No. 7 LSU was slated to visit […]

It wasn't often that Bill Belichick was an underdog during his NFL coaching days. That's not the case now that he's in his second year as UNC's head coach. With that in mind, his Tar Heels have my attention for college football Week 3. And when it comes to underdogs in NFL Week 2, you might be surprised that I'm backing the Jets against the Packers. Let's dive into it. […]

Coach Ryan Day might have been understating things slightly when he said there's a lot that comes with a loss at Ohio State. Last Saturday's historic fourth-quarter collapse by the Buckeyes in their 24-23 loss at Texas has brought angst and second-guessing usually reserved for losses to arch-rival Michigan. Day spent Tuesday's news conference going through the post-mortem after experiencing only his second setback in 27 games in September while […]
