For just the second time this season (and likely the last until the season finale against Ohio State), Michigan football enters a contest as the underdog.
The Wolverines opened as 1½ point underdogs for their upcoming game against USC on Saturday, Oct. 11 (7:30 p.m., NBC).

The Cleveland Browns are truly a sadness and disappointment factory. And what better proof of that than Sunday’s come-from-in-front loss to the Minnesota Vikings, in which the Browns addressed their quarterback problem — and still failed.

The relationship between WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert and one of the league’s biggest stars has officially hit rock bottom.
Just days after eviscerating Engelbert and WNBA leadership in a fiery exit interview, Minnesota Lynx forward and WNBPA vice president Napheesa Collier has reportedly canceled a planned meeting with the commissioner.
Collier had originally agreed to meet with Engelbert this week to address the backlash from her viral press conference, where she accused league leadership of “negligence,” dismissiveness and failing to protect players.
