Last Monday night in Tallahassee, Florida State created four turnovers and still didn’t cover as a 3-point underdog. The Seminoles lost 27-24 to SMU, so it’s a push for this column but hopefully a win for any of you that were able to grab +3.5 closer to kickoff. Boy, did it feel good to sweat football bets again. We know you’re here for informed wagers and I assure you I […]

This is a tough one for Drake Maye and the New England Patriots to swallow. In what was a 13-10 loss to the defending Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks — who New England lost to in Super Bowl LX — in the 2026 NFL season opener on Wednesday night, Maye threw three interceptions. Moreover, his last pick came with 21 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, with the Patriots being in […]

A.J. Brown's first game with the New England Patriots went well until the opening drive of the second half. The Patriots' new star wide receiver departed Wednesday night's season-opening game against the Seattle Seahawks after suffering an ankle injury early in the third quarter. Brown was initially ruled questionable to return, but was later ruled out for the remainder of the game in the fourth quarter. It's now believed that […]

The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams meet Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, in a first for the league: a regular-season game at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, with kickoff set for 8:35 p.m. ET.
