The Spaniard was ousted in straight sets in the second round of the Australian Open after suffering a hip injury. How much longer will his body allow him to play?
Chris Almeida: So here we are on the first Wednesday of the Australian Open and Rafa Nadal, who won the tournament last year, is out. He lost 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 to McKenzie MacDonald who, if I’m being totally honest, I’ve never heard of before. But this is not really out of nowhere. We knew coming in that kind of early exit was a possibility.

A best bet for Sunday’s prime-time divisional round matchup between the favored 49ers and the visiting Cowboys.
The Cowboys broke their eight-game road playoff losing streak Monday against the Buccaneers, giving Dak Prescott his first playoff win of his career. Even with a win, the Cowboys got beat in the secondary by Tampa’s wideouts (23/233/1 on 35 targets) and Tom Brady just missed a long score late in the game to Mike Evans.
Dallas has risk defending the run (497/2,198/9 – 4.4 yards per rush), which plays into the 49ers’ strength (467/2,191/18 – 4.7 yards per carry).

Buffalo BillsThe only offensive Buffalo player with injury news heading into the second round of the postseason is WR Isaiah McKenzie. Buffalo gave their WR3 snaps last week to Khalil Shakir (41%) and Cole Beasley (42%).
A best bet for Sunday’s AFC divisional round matchup between the second-seeded Bills and third-seeded Bengals. The Bill are small home favorites.
The third-seeded Bengals (12-4) face the second-seeded Bills (13-3) in a rematch of the game we didn’t get to see in Week 17.
This time, the Bills have home-field advantage at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park for Sunday’s AFC divisional round matchup.
Two of the hottest young quarterbacks in the game promise to make this a fun one with the game total set at 48.5 and the Bills favored by five at SI Sportsbook.
BATON ROUGE – As far as LSU fans are concerned, former quarterback Walker Howard is going to Hell.
That is how LSU fans refer to where Ole Miss should go in chants about the border rival Rebels. And Howard is viewed in some circles as the worst kind of traitor, because he is one of LSU’s own. His father, Jamie Howard, was the Tigers’ starting quarterback from nearby Lafayette for four seasons from 1992-95.
