We are in the final race to the playoffs. Four teams have punched their tickets to the postseason with the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC, while the Lions and Eagles are in for NFC. Now it’s about the rest of the teams fighting for their spots to close out the season strong — and that really comes down to this week.
These are the critical games to circle this week where a win could be in, and common games could really have a serious impact on the final race.

Bill Belichick’s move to Chapel Hill has seemingly had an effect on Tar Heels players previously considering the transfer portal. 
On Wednesday, the legendary NFL coach agreed to be North Carolina’s next football coach — replacing Mack Brown, who went 113-79-1 across six seasons for the Tar Heels.
Belichick’s robust NFL pedigree is convincing players to stay put, such as UNC’s starting center Austin Blaske, who withdrew himself from the portal.

Here’s a look at Week 15 of the NFL season from a betting perspective.

The New York Jets were eliminated from playoff contention after losing 32-26 to the Miami Dolphins last week, and with virtually nothing left to play for this season, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has grabbed his readily available tinfoil hat and started talking about the franchise actually being cursed.
Speaking with the media on Wednesday, Rodgers was asked if he and the team feel like something bad is liable to happen when they take the field given the losing history of the organization. This is when he decided to use the c-word while notably not saying the word ‘no.

When Army and Navy take the field on Saturday for their annual rivalry showdown, they won’t be the only college football game on the schedule. In fact, a game will already have been played prior to kickoff. 
United States Senator Dan Sullivan is leading a group in Congress to make sure that doesn’t happen again moving forward. 
Sullivan, along with 56 other members of Congress and two Senators-elect, sent a letter to the College Football Playoff and Bowl Season Executive Directors, urging them to preserve the Army-Navy game as a “time-honored tradition.

Shannon Sharpe demands justice for Zach Wilson.
Drafted at No. 2 overall by the Jets in 2021, Wilson simply floundered in the NFL — posting a 13-21 record during his three seasons in New York. He was demoted to the QB2 role in 2023 when the Jets picked up future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. But after Rodgers suffered an Achilles tear in Week 1, the Jets had no choice but to turn to Wilson again.
Gang Green finished third in the AFC East last season with an overall record of 7-10 (5-7 with Wilson under center). And everyone was quick to throw the blame on the young quarterback.

Jimmy Butler’s agent blasted Shams Charania after trade rumors, and the ESPN reporter fired back.
NBA trade season is approaching starting Dec. 15 when newly signed players can be dealt, and that means Shams Charania is working overtime. The long-time NBA insider is in his first season at ESPN after replacing the legend Adrian Wojnarowski, and he reported the first big name to come onto the market earlier this week.

Another Formula 1 season is in the books, and what a season it was.
Not only did we get a season in which Max Verstappen and Red Bull didn’t win almost every race, but they were far from the strongest team on the grid for much of the season.
While Verstappen locked up the World Drivers’ Championship in Las Vegas despite a strong push from Lando Norris, McLaren took the Constructors’ Champion thanks to a Norris win in Abu Dhabi.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a rough stretch ahead. And Patrick Mahomes, for one, is not looking forward to it.
The defending Super Bowl champions head to Cleveland to take on the Browns this Sunday. They’ll follow that with a Saturday home game against the Houston Texans before quickly turning around for a Christmas Day match-up in Pittsburgh. If you didn’t do the math, that’s three games in just 11 days.
“All you can do is focus on the game and the practice that you had that day,” Mahomes said.

Ricardo Pepi represents the firepower the U.S. Soccer can boast heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a forward its men’s national team can legitimately build a future around.
At 6-foot-1, the 21-year-old Pepi has the versatility to either be a guy running at defenders or a position himself as a bigger body that a box-to-box midfielder or winger can aim for.
