1+ min ago (486+ words) Published 2:52 am Sunday, December 7, 2025 CHARLOTTE, N.C." " Darian Mensah threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns to Jeremiah Hasley to lead Duke to a 27-20 overtime win over No. 17 Virginia in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday night. After Mensah found Hasley for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 1 in overtime, Luke Mergott intercepted Chandler Morris on the first play of Virginia's overtime drive to secure the victory. The win clinched the Blue Devils' (8-5) first outright ACC championship since 1962 and avenged their 34-17 home loss to Virginia 21 days ago. It also may have cost the ACC a spot in this year's College Football Playoff, denying what would have been a certain bid for the Cavaliers (10-3). Duke head coach Manny Diaz, though, vehemently disagrees with the possibility that the ACC could be shut out of the playoff. "The ACC champion should go to the College…...

4+ min ago (355+ words) Montana State running back Julius Davis went ballistic on head coach Brent Vigen following Saturday's FCS playoff game against Yale, and the senior later tried to explain his side of what happened. Montana State, the No. 2-ranked FCS team in the country, beat Yale 21-13 on Saturday at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman, Mont. After the game, Davis was seen having what appeared to be a friendly exchange with a Yale player. Vigen came over to pull Davis away and bring the running back toward the Montana State side of the field, at which point Davis lost his cool. Bobcats defensive back Takhari Carr came over to try to diffuse the situation, and Davis shoved his teammate away. Davis and Vigen went back and forth at one another for more than a full minute before everyone finally seemed to calm down. Davis…...

11+ min ago (418+ words) Dec 7, 2025 | 8:42 AM EST The first SEC final post Nick Saban era didn't end well for Alabama. The legendary coach's daughter, Kristen Saban, was one of those Crimson Tide faithful who had a hard time processing the loss. Instead of sharing her emotions with friends, she showed her concern to ChatGPT! "This is bad," she wrote in ChatGPT, and it was featured in a screenshot she shared on her IG Story. "Kristen" breathe," wrote ChatGPT in reply. "When Alabama starts slipping, it feels personally offensive. Your whole house probably just went silent except for someone muttering "run the damn ball' under their breath." "@chatgpt you're insane for this," wrote Kristen, sharing that screenshot. Despite Nick Saban's retirement, his daughter Kristen's support for Alabama never wavered. Now, Alabama's 287 loss against Georgia in the SEC title game made their playoff run shaky, handing…...

13+ min ago (587+ words) Dec 7, 2025 | 8:40 AM EST Joey Bosa, Tee Higgins, Credits: IMAGO The final stretch of the regular season looms large with Week 14s clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. Ahead of their matchup, heres the final injury report for both squads. For the Bills, 11 players cropped up on the injury report. The biggest blow for them will be the absence of linebacker Terrell Bernard and defensive end Joey Bosa. Bernard had injured his elbow in the Week 12 game against the Houston Texans and left the field with his arm in a sling. He hasnt practiced since then and is ruled out for Week 14. As for Joey Bosa, he exited the field with a hamstring injury early in their Week 13 clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He did not participate in practices this week and has a "week-to-week" status. Hes not playing…...

Here's the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Juwan Johnson. Johnson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play. This is a two-man passing attack for one of the worst teams in football. Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson are getting as much work as they can stomach as the Saints attempt to stay competitive for 60 minutes and while the stat lines aren't flash, Johnson is getting the job done. Active TE Streaks With 8.5+ PPR Points That's not bad company, not bad company at all. I'm obviously not ranking him among those two super stars, but he serves as a nice reminder that there can be value mined…...

15+ min ago (930+ words) This week presents some intriguing decisions. Here's insight about key Miami Dolphins players heading into their matchup with the New York Jets to help you craft a winning lineup. Tua Tagovailoa has just two finishes better than QB17 this season and is the rare option that I don't trust in any game script. He has more interceptions than touchdowns during this three-game win streak. In the three blowout losses that Miami has suffered this season, Tagovailoa has one touchdown against six interceptions on 86 attempts. He's been held without a touchdown toss in two straight, three of four, and four of six games. If Tagovailoa has a good game, it's because he supported the values of Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane, not because he offered much in the way of value by himself. This De'Von Achane season is at risk of not…...

15+ min ago (417+ words) The Chicago Bears will visit the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. Here's the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Rome Odunze. Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Fantasy football is funny, isn't it? You drafted Odunze as your WR3 or WR4 this summer with the thought being that he could, with time, take work off the plate and DJ Moore, and peak at the right time. That you might have to lose the initial fight, but that you'd be in a good position to win the war. You were right about Odunze being more talented than the industry gave him credit for,…...

17+ min ago (847+ words) This week presents some intriguing decisions. Here's insight about key Los Angeles Rams players heading into their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals'to help you craft a winning lineup. Shake it off and move on. Matthew Stafford threw an end zone interception early against the Panthers and followed it up with a Pick-6 on the next drive. Yes, that means he had as many picks in the first quarter on Sunday as he had in the first three months of 2025. He would later add in a lost fumble for good measure. Take a step back and think about what you're complaining about. Back in August, we weren't sure if Stafford was going to play because of the back injury. And now, one bad week after months of dominance (six top-8 finishes), and we are let down? It's a blip on the…...

19+ min ago (1251+ words) This week presents some intriguing decisions. Here's insight about key Los Angeles Chargers players heading into their matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles to help you craft a winning lineup. Justin Herbert has three straight finishes outside of the top 15 at the position and is now dealing with off-hand surgery ahead of this Monday nighter. Since their Week 9 bye, the Eagles have allowed just one QB (Dak Prescott) to reach his season average, and even that came with a slanted game script, with the Cowboys falling behind by 21 early. There's a world in which we see Herbert lean into his athleticism and get us there as a result. We've seen him do it a few times this season (three games with 50+ rush yards), and with a variety of weapons for Philadelphia to keep tabs on, it's possible. I'm cautiously optimistic. The…...
