Welcome back to another mailbag. This one comes after a strange loss to the Houston Texans. The 49ers are traveling to the East Coast again to face the New York Giants. I see the 49ers winning this one, but I’m not going to be surprised if some crazy shenanigans and injuries cost them the game. […]
Rutgers will be on the road again this week, as they are set to take on Illinois on Saturday at Noon. As with every Rutgers football game, the staff here at OnTheBanks will try to guess the score and provide context as to why they think that way. Andrew Rice Rutgers should be looking at […]

Hansi Flick returned to the podium on Saturday after missing last week’s press conference due to suspension, but he spoke to journalists ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash against Elche and naturally had to answer questions about Lamine Yamal.

Despite expectations of the playoffs and (at least according to general manager Nico Harrison) title contention, the Dallas Mavericks rocketed out of the gate to a 2-3 record. Led by putrid offense, mediocre defense, and a small litany of injuries, the Mavericks have looked bad! As a result, we took a poll before the Pacers […]
Will the real Dallas Cowboys please stand up? After yet another loss, this time a 44-24 drubbing on the road to the Broncos, it’s becoming exceedingly more difficult to pin down this team.

Ha-seong Kim has a player-only option at 16 million dollars for 2026. Everything right now suggests that he will opt out and search for a new contract. In 2025, Kim picked up 0.3 WAR through 191 PAs.

The Los Angeles Rams return from their bye week tied with the Seahawks atop the NFC West at 5-2. For the Rams to retain their hold on the division crown, they must maintain their hot start to the season and not fall victim to trap games—like the one on Sunday against the Saints. So, will […]
The Blue Jays had multiple chances to take their first World Series since 1993 last night, but could not get the job done. Addison Barger will be the face of it thanks to his game ending baserunning blunder, but they had a few chances to put up runs and didn’t. Now, they get Shohei Ohtani […]
