Here’s three reasons why the Chiefs can beat the Texans
I have a rule for picking rematches when it comes to football: the second time two teams play, I normally pick the team that didn’t win the first time to win the second time.
However, with the rematches this week in the NFL playoffs, I find myself breaking that rule, especially with Chiefs-Texans. Despite Houston’s defense looking like the second coming of the 2000 Ravens in their wildcard victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, I can’t pick against QB Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Natisha Hiedeman will join the Phantom with Marina Mabrey sidelined with a calf strain.
Unrivaled is adding another player in the wake of injury, the new 3-on-3 professional women’s basketball league announced Friday afternoon, just hours before gameplay begins. Natisha Hiedeman, a Minnesota Lynx guard and six-year WNBA veteran, will join the Phantom club given the fact that Marina Mabrey is out for 2 to 4 weeks with a right calf strain she suffered in training camp.

Well, one of these stories of a high-profile athlete having their home burglarized in recent months has a somewhat happy — if not kind of bizarre — ending.
This week it was reported that Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin’s Pittsburgh-area home was broken into, and his three Stanley Cup rings were missing.
Well, thankfully those rings have been recovered… from inside the Russian forward’s house.
The Allegheny Police Department announced the news on their X account.

The heavyweight match of the weekend has one team with the edge.
It’s the game of the weekend, if not the entire season. Ravens vs. Bills is the heavyweight matchup of the AFC, with the winner likely cementing themselves as Super Bowl favorites. Two of the league’s best offenses, led by two quarterbacks with equal claim for the MVP award — it doesn’t get much better than this.
There are reasons you could pick Buffalo here.

We haven’t heard Dick Vitale call a college basketball game since 2023, and if you ask me, that’s way too long of a stretch. But on January 25, that wait will be over. 
ESPN announced that next Saturday, Vitale is going to be courtside when the Duke Blue Devils take on the in-state rival Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem, NC. Vitale had been out of the broadcasting booth for almost two years due to a battle with vocal cord cancer. But last week, the legendary announcer received some great news when he was announced cancer-free.

The clash pits one of the NBA’s most disgruntled superstars against a franchise that won’t bend to his will. And everyone in the NBA is watching.

There was no doubt that Ohio State, along with head coach Ryan Day, had their backs against the wall following the Michigan loss to end their regular season.
What have they done since that loss to the Wolverines? Embarrassed Tennessee and Oregon, followed by a gritty performance against Texas in the semifinals that clinched a spot in the college football playoff title game. 
While you can dislike the Buckeyes all you want, you have to at least respect them for the run they’ve been on over the past month. This team was dead and buried by everyone with a platform, myself included.

Erling Haaland has signed a mammoth nine-and-a-half-year contract at Manchester City, tying him to the club until 2034.

The Miami Dolphins will host the first NFL game in Madrid next season as part of the 2025 International Games, the NFL announced Friday.

Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland missed the cut and Rory McIlroy was forced to battle to make the weekend as the headline acts struggled at the Dubai Desert Classic.

Former Jags and Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has been hired as the head coach of the Paris Musketeers of the 17-team European League of Football.

Eagles-Rams might be the toughest game to predict this weekend, but here are three reasons the Eagles will move on
Perhaps the toughest game to predict this weekend kicks off on Sunday afternoon, when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Los Angeles Rams in a matchup of two teams that met earlier this season.
The Eagles won that contest in November by a final score of 37-20.
When Matthew Stafford is playing at his best, the Rams are tough to beat. Just ask the Minnesota Vikings or the Buffalo Bills.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a legendary NBA future ahead of him with Thunder
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander zoomed past Jarrett Allen for his first bucket of the night in the highly anticipated rematch between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. He got Georges Niang on a switch, stopped on a dime, and flowed into a beautiful mid-range pull-up for his second basket. On the next Thunder possession, SGA backed down Max Strus, created space with a step-back, and drained another mid-range jumper.

Although Rory McIlroy has not played well in his first tournament of 2025, he is certainly not out of it at the halfway point.
One year ago, Rory McIlroy faced a 10-shot deficit to Cameron Young at the midway point of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He then carded a 9-under 63 on Saturday, which helped propel him to a victory the following day.
Fast-forward to this year and McIlroy is in a similar situation.

If you’re a fan of last-minute drama and late-game heroics in college basketball, then Thursday was a great night of action for you.
It all started in the little town of Farmville, VA, where the Longwood Lancers were hosting the High Point Panthers. With less than seven seconds on the clock, Lancers guard Colby Garland drove towards the bucket, pulled up from about 10 feet away, and calmly drained a sweet jumper to give Longwood an 82-80 lead they would not relinquish.

Morgan Stanley, Icy Hot, and Sprite are three of the league’s newest sponsors.
Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 women’s professional basketball league co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, tips off Friday night on TNT. The new league boasts 36 WNBA stars, including high-profile names like Sabrina Ionescu, Angel Reese, and Brittney Griner, and promises players equity and an average salary of more than $220,000 — more than double the average WNBA salary.
And, in the days leading up to its first games, its list of partnerships has continued to proliferate.

Detroit at home is a bad draw for Washington, who will see their Cinderella story end here.
Only six games are left in the NFL season, and the Divisional Playoffs are another stepping stone for the Detroit Lions. It’s been a feel-good year for the Commanders as they threw off the shackles of terrible ownership to turn things around with a rookie phenom at quarterback, but the Cinderella story ends here.
The Lions are the juggernauts of the NFC, and there are three reasons why they’ll cruise through to the NFC Championship Game.
No.

Tyler Van Dyke appears interested in milking his college football career for every drop of playing time possible.
Van Dyke transferred to SMU after spending this past season with the Wisconsin Badgers. The former highly-hyped Miami QB tore his ACL in the third game of the season against Alabama.
He never took another snap the rest of the season, and then transferred to the Mustangs.
Van Dyke will turn 24-years-old in March, has already played five seasons of college football and will apparently attempt to play two more.

Brady reportedly took an active role in recruiting Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to interview for the Raiders’ head coach opening.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers faces major decisions this offseason, compounded by unexpected tough times.
Rodgers, 41, could potentially retire this offseason and stay with the Jets, or he could leave New York for a different team.
The four-time MVP faces many questions. But to start the year, Rodgers is dealing with the LA County wildfires, one of which threatened his home in Malibu. 
Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday, Rodgers shared his experience of being affected by the wildfires at his Malibu area home.

The Thunder put Thursday night’s showdown with the Cavs out of reach by halftime and led by as many as 42 points in a 134-114 home win Thursday night.

Add two teams? Go back to 12 teams? Let teams choose their opponents in the wild-card round? Here’s how the NFL could make tweaks to its postseason.
