Most fantasy managers know how it feels to lose a matchup thanks to a big spike week from a fantasy defense, so let's be on the right side of those performances in 2026! We're here to help you right out of the gate with our updated Week 1 fantasy football team defense rankings for 2026. In […]
The Winnipeg Jets ( 12-8-0 ) will be entering their second game without Connor Hellebuyck after dropping the first match against the Carolina Hurricanes. Things don’t get easier for the True Northers, as their neighbours to the south are visiting Manitoba and the Minnesota Wild ( 11-7-4 ) are playing some really good hockey at this point. The Wild have picked up wins in 4 straight against some quality opposition ( ANA, VEG, CAR, & PIT ), so they should offer a test to a Jets club that has...
Next up on the list is Ryan Braun. It is his first time on the ballot. I was thinking I’d skip him, but he was a better player than I remembered. A career .296/358/.532 line with 352 home runs, 1154 RBI and a 47.2 bWAR in 14 seasons all with the Brewers. He was the […]
For just the second time this season, I’m predicting the Philadelphia Eagles to lose a football game. The first time was last week, when I incorrectly predicted a Detroit Lions win. I don’t really regret my reasoning for that one; I thought it could be a big game for the defense while the offense struggled. […]
Roma entered today’s fixture sporting the best defensive record in Serie A and in the middle of a five-team race for the top spot. By any objective standard, Gian Piero Gasperini’s group was riding high. Even their dormant offense had shown signs of progress recently, stacking up a pair of two-nil wins before the international […]
Oregon volleyball played their final home game of the season on Saturday night. While they fixed many of the small errors that plagued them earlier in the week against USC, it was not enough to get past a very good Michigan team, and the Ducks fell in four sets, 25-17, 25-18, 14-25, 25-27. Oregon hit […]
Just eight days after getting promoted from the practice squad to the New England Patriots’ 53-man roster, rookie outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson is set to make his NFL debut. The fifth-round draft pick was not named among the team’s six game day inactives, meaning that he will participate in Sunday’s contest versus the Cincinnati Bengals […]
The Chicago Bulls just had one of the most frustrating winning weeks I can remember. Beat a Denver Nuggets team that was 10-2 and second in the West. Blow a 21-point lead to the banged-up Trail Blazers in 9 minutes before hitting a game-winning buzzer-beater. Get slapped in the face by the Miami Heat for the zillionth time. Narrowly avoid becoming the Washington Wizards’ second win of the 2025-26 season. Somehow, someway, the Bulls went 3-1 over these four games and sit at 9-7. Nothi...
NFL WEEK 12: CHICAGO BEARS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS — Only Aaron Rodgers Mason Rudolph and the Steelers stand in the way of Chicago’s football team picking up a fourth consecutive win and extending their stay in first place in the NFC North. Seeing Rodgers come to town makes me feel like how I’d imagine Homer Simpson feels when he sees Ned Flanders when he walks out his front door. The Bears would have had a real opportunity to exorcise some demons *AND* improve their standing in the NFC p...
The Edmonton Oilers’ road trip had so many chapters that it read like a Russian novel. But after they punted Sergei Bobrovsky out of the game in the second period on Saturday night, and then hung on to seal the victory, I’m guessing they felt equal parts satisfaction, relief, and sore muscles on the flight…
De'Von Achane is still young, but his voice is starting to rise. A leader his starting to bloom, and the Dolphins desperately need that.

The Detroit Lions will try to get back on the winning side on Sunday after dropping three of their last four games. Detroit is currently on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, but they could climb as high as the three seed this week, should all of the Week 12 games fall the […]
Welcome to Saints Gameday! Today: Atlanta Falcons (3-7) at New Orleans Saints (2-8) The Saints face the Falcons at home in the Caesars Superdome today in Week 12. The season hasn’t been what we hoped for so far, but a win at home over the Saints’ biggest rivals will certainly make things brighter for Saints fans. […]
It’s incredible how many things can change after two and a half months of football. The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles feel like different teams entering Week 12 than the ones we saw take the field on opening night in Philadelphia. Both teams were active during the trade deadline to make a push for the […]
I’d imagine that if you told Zach Thompson that October 1, 2022 would be the last time he would pitch in a big league game until April 11, 2025, he probably would’ve laughed at you or at least looked at you like you were a weirdo. However, that ended up being the case for Thompson, […]
Losers of five straight, and about to embark on a tough three-game road trip out west, the Montreal Canadiens needed something positive to come from a Saturday night tilt with the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre. They got exactly what they needed out of that game, coming together for a very strong showing in a 5-2 win, allowing them to hit the road with some confidence this week. It was a dominant effort from top to bottom, and came at a time when the team sorely needed to prove to...
The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives for Week 12 on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, with no real surprises ahead of this critical AFC clash among potential conference contenders: It looks as though undrafted rookie Jonathan Edwards, who’s made 3 starts for Indianapolis this season, is currently the ‘odd man out’ in the […]
Things are going from bad to worse for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Already hammered by the injury bug heading in, the Leafs lost defenceman Jake McCabe to injury on Saturday night in Montreal against the Canadiens. McCabe was injured with an upper-body injury, after taking a puck in the face in the second period. From a certain angle on the telecast, it appeared the puck hit the 32-year-old defenceman right in the jaw, leaving many wondering if he potentially broke his jaw on the play. Through 21...
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals are set to square off in Week 12 of the 2025 season. “Ultimately in a season, there’s highs and lows,” head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday. “But when you play as we played on Sunday, there’s a new standard now in terms of, okay, well that’s what it looks like when we […]
For a second straight week, the New England Patriots’ list of game day inactives features defensive tackle Joshua Farmer. There is one difference between the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the one versus the New York Jets 10 days ago: Farmer is a healthy scratch this time around. The fourth-round rookie missed last […]
The Green Bay Packers have officially ruled out running back Josh Jacobs (knee), receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), linebacker Quay Walker (neck) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) with injuries. Jacobs and Golden were both listed as questionable on the Packers’ final injury report of the week, while Walker was given a “doubtful” status. Along with those […]
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite wide receiver Xavier Worthy being listed as questionable with an ankle issue on Friday’s injury report, the second-year pro will go — confirming a report early on Sunday from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Guard Kingsley Suamataia […]
The list of Chicago Bears inactives is OUT for the team’s Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unfortunately, it includes Bears left tackle Theo Benedet. A starter since the team’s Week 6 game against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, Benedet has been a work in progress at left tackle. He has been inconsistent in pass protection, but he has been strong in the run game. Jul 23, 2025; Lake Forest, IL, USA; Chicago Bears guard Theo Benedet (79) and offensive tackle...
The top team in the NHL standings will be on the ice at the United Center this evening, as the Blackhawks host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night. The Avalanche are burying opponents on a nearly nightly basis, with just one regulation loss in their first 21 games (15-1-5). They enter this game on an 8-game winning streak, most recently beating the Nashville Predators 3-0 on the road on Saturday night, which means the possibility of heavy legs for the visitors does exist. Still, this t...
Chelsea FC hosts FC Barcelona in a “circle the date” kind of match on Tuesday night. On paper, this is certainly a mouth-watering fixture, and the overall highlight of the continental competiton schedule that evening. It is not the overall top fixture of the next round of UCL action though- that honor belongs to Bayern […] The post Chelsea vs Barcelona Predicted Starting XIs (Champions League) appeared first on The Sports Bank .
