Reviewing Patrick Mahomes’s brief but sterling record as an underdog ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles.
After some early back-and-forth line movement when the Super Bowl LVII spread dropped, the Eagles are favored against the Chiefs in the Big Game.
It’s a tight spread, with Philadelphia giving just 1.5 points to Kansas City. It’s also historic, as it marks the first time Patrick Mahomes is an underdog in his playoff career.
Across five years as a starter, Mahomes has gone 10–3 straight up in the postseason and 1–1 in Super Bowls.

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios pleaded guilty to an assault charge involving ex-girlfriend Chiara Passari. Kyrgios was accused of pushing Passari to the ground during an argument in January 2021.
Shortly after pleading guilty, Magistrate Jane Campbell dismissed the charge due to the offense not being premeditated and being on the “low end” of seriousness for common assault. The dismissal also came after Kyrgios’ lawyer told the court that his client had suffered from severe depression and suicidal ideation in the past.
He was reportedly facing up to two years in prison.

Do not expect to see Ross Chastain’s Martinsville move anytime soon
Driver Ross Chastain provided one of the most memorable moments of last year’s NASCAR season.
Do not expect to see it replicated anytime soon.
Needing to move up a few places in the closing lap of the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway to qualify for the final four in the last race of the season, Chastain put his Chevrolet into the wall, and rode it around the track, rocketing into fifth place. That finish was good enough to put him in the final four for the season finale.
SI talked to fans and players about what the league could lose by moving these games out of packed home stadiums and a common theme emerged: “Gotta have the home field advantage.”
Twenty weeks ago, Joe Burrow sat down in front of a live mic on the Colin Cowherd Podcast and offered up a little more candor than most football players exhibit when they discuss the game many of them have dreamed about since they were children.
The Super Bowl, which his Bengals played in last season, felt like a dinner party.
New York Jets GM Joe Douglas reportedly has his sights set on Aaron Rodgers.
It’s become an annual offseason tradition to wonder whether or not Rodgers will stick with the Packers, and things aren’t different in 2023.
All eyes are on the star passer and what his next move will be in the NFL. The speculation has been there’s a real possibility he’s thrown his last pass for the Packers.
The Jets have been floated as a possible trade destination and the hiring of Nathaniel Hackett – Rodgers’ former OC – has only further spun up speculation.
Deion Sanders might be playing fast and loose with the truth when it comes to recruiting kids from Florida and the weather.
Sanders and the Buffaloes just locked up a solid recruiting class in his first cycle as the team’s head coach and that included seven players from Florida.
Most notably, Colorado was able to secure the future services of five star DB and Florida-native Cormani McClain.
Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann was tossed Thursday night against Wisconsin.
With under a minute left in the first half, Holtmann lost his mind on the refs and had to be physically restrained by members of the Buckeyes.
Holtmann went crazy after an offensive foul was called on Justice Sueing, and the refs weren’t having it. As soon as he decided to cross the line, they immediately tossed him. The Buckeyes eventually lost 65-60 to the Badgers.

Plus, an interview with Northwestern RB Evan Hull
Northwestern RB Evan Hull is a man of many words.
If you ask him about if a hotdog is a sandwich (which it is not), Hull will tell you (Hull said it’s not, but if you consider sandwiches like a meatball sub, which have bread that’s connected like a hotdog, it’s a slippery slope).
You can ask him about his faith, which is evident in every word that he speaks. Hull never gets too high, but also never gets too low—he always plays the next play.
