At long, long last, the NFL is back.

Of all the starters in the NFL, this season might be the most critical for Travis Etienne Jr. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back, selected with the 25th overall pick in 2021, had his fifth-year option picked up by the team in 2024 and, unlike his teammate Trevor Lawrence, was not signed to a lucrative contract […]

The battle for the final Wild Card spot in the American League has gone back and forth all season, and entering the home stretch of the season, it’s a fairly tight battle: the Seattle Mariners hold pole position, with the Texas Rangers 1.5 games back and the Kansas City Royals (2.5 games behind Seattle) in […]

The San Francisco Giants are making one last charge, having won eight of their last nine games to get themselves back to .500 for the first time since August 10. They’re still an extreme long-shot (+1200) to make the playoffs, but there’s at least a feasible path that didn’t seem to exist nine games ago. […]

If there were an award for the league’s most disappointing team, the Atlanta Braves would be prime contenders for that (dis)honor. The Braves, who nabbed a Wild Card spot last season despite playing for most of the year without reigning MVP Ronald Acuña Jr., entered the season with championship aspirations, but those hopes were quickly […]

With just a few weeks remaining in the MLB season, a lot is still up for grabs. After beating the Seattle Mariners last night, the Tampa Bay Rays are trying to insert themselves into a five-team race to the third AL Wild Card spot.
