7+ min ago (469+ words) Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's brother, Javier, was arrested during Saturday's victory over Tennessee, marking the second time he's been jailed during a game this season. Javier Pavia, 25, was busted for public intoxication when he allegedly clashed with Neyland Stadium staffers at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, according to Knox News. University event staff accused Javier Pavia of repeatedly blocking fans around him with a large flag. Law enforcement had told Pavia to remove the flag, the outlet reported, citing a police report. Pavia allegedly slurred his words and was unsteady on his feet during the exchange, the arresting officer claimed. "He was also extremely verbally combative with event staff and myself," an arrest report obtained by the outlet read. Pavia was booked in Knox County Jail on Sunday and released on his own recognizance, according to jail records viewed…...

27+ min ago (359+ words) Post sports gambling editor/producer and digital sports editor Matt Ehalt is back for his second season in the NFL Bettor's Guide. All the hope that flowed through Sin City following Tom Brady's addition to the ownership group has evaporated as this team has provided more brutal losses than the Blackjack dealers consistently drawing a face card. Geno Smith has been absolutely horrid, Pete Carroll is probably questioning his life choices, and this team couldn't even beat Shedeur Sanders last week. They now get a rested Chargers team off a bye that needs a win to maintain pace in the crowded AFC playoff picture. The Raiders have lost their last two games by an average of 15.5 points, and lost, 20-9, to the Chargers at home this year. This one shouldn't be close. Expect Justin Herbert and Los Angeles to cruise to…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (952+ words) If you conked out on the couch Saturday night but then awakened to see wacko things in Auburn, Alabama, and Berkeley, California, deciding key chunks of the college football regular season, don't worry. You weren't hallucinating. If, at 11:36 p.m. Eastern time, you found yourself watching an SMU 52-yard field goal attempt rise through the California air and above the empty seats to determine who would reach the ACC championship game next weekend way over in Charlotte, you did not get "some bad liquor or something," as the eternal George Bailey once put it. And if somebody told you the kick staying wide right enabled the ACC title game to include a five-loss Duke, and that unranked Duke won a five-way tiebreaker for second place in the ACC at 6-2 alongside four ranked teams, the person telling you that is not a rascal....

1+ hour, 47+ min ago (270+ words) The Browns will welcome the 49ers to Cleveland on Saturday. With winter in full swing, conditions are going to be tough at Huntington Bank Field. Weather forecasters are calling for morning rain to change over to snow showers in the afternoon near game time. Temperatures will top out around 38 degrees and winds will be swirling up to 35 miles per hour. In this type of environment, I'm not expecting the Browns to put the ball into the hands of Shedeur Sanders a ton in his second career NFL start. Instead, I'm looking for Quinshon Judkins to get a ton of handoffs as Cleveland looks to protect the ball. Judkins hasn't been as explosive of late as he was during his first few career games earlier this season, but he gets a good matchup against injury-depleted 49ers defense. Over their past three games, San…...

2+ hour, 7+ min ago (441+ words) Kirk Cousins and Atlanta travel up to MetLife Stadium in a battle against Tyrod Taylor and Gang Green in NFL Week 13 action. Cousins earned his first win as a starter this season last week in New Orleans, while Taylor is seeking his first win as the lead quarterback for the Jets. Oddsmakers have the point total for this game set at 38.5 with rainy conditions and strong winds forecasted for Sunday afternoon in East Rutherford. Let's be honest: this one is nowhere near a game-of-the-week candidate, but it features two talented running backs in Bijan Robinson and Breece Hall. Robinson has the lowest odds to cross the pylon (-160, FanDuel) and for good reason. His dual-threat ability to also catch passes out of the backfield boosts his effectiveness in any matchup, let alone a struggling Jets front. Aaron Glenn's 23rd-ranked run defense…...

2+ hour, 57+ min ago (306+ words) As Saturday turned to Sunday in the Eastern time zone, the uncertainty surrounding Lane Kiffin, his future at Ole Miss and the potential for him to bolt for LSU remained. That appears likely to continue for a few more hours. Kiffin will hold a team meeting with his players at 9 a.m., according to multiple reports, with an announcement about his future expected afterward. ESPN reported earlier Saturday that it increasingly "appears obvious" that Kiffin will leave for LSU for a deal reportedly worth over $90 million. One of the final sticking points, according to the outlet, revolved around what happened in the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn. An Alabama loss would have meant that Ole Miss earned a spot in the SEC championship. That, then, would have complicated matters about whether Kiffin would be able to coach the Rebels in that…...

4+ hour, 47+ min ago (607+ words) Take flight with the Jets An inside look at Sunday's Jets-Falcons NFL Week 13 matchup at MetLife Stadium: Falcons RB Bijan Robinson vs. the Jets defense It is no secret who the Falcons offense is going to run through. Robinson is one of the most explosive backs in the NFL. He has 853 rushing yards and 543 receiving yards this season, as well as six total touchdowns. The Jets defense knows he is capable of breaking a long one at any point if they do not tackle well. The Jets defense has shown vast improvement against the run recently. They allowed 98 yards rushing against the Ravens last week and 65 against the Patriots. Captain Kirk: Both teams are on their second quarterback of the season. While the Jets turned to Tyrod Taylor by choice, the Falcons have had to start Kirk Cousins after starter…...

5+ hour, 37+ min ago (573+ words) Dexter Lawrence is elbowing his way back into the lineup. Lawrence will play Monday for the Giants against the Patriots after he returned from two missed practices to participate Saturday on a limited basis. Access the Giants like never before He was restricted to rushing the quarterback on third downs for most of the final three quarters last week and was not on the field for any of the Lions" three chunk runs because he took "two direct shots" to his surgically repaired elbow on the second and third defensive series, according to defensive line coach Andre Patterson. "For him to do what he did in the game, most guys I"ve been around would"ve tapped out in his situation," Patterson said. "I had to put him in situations where he could at least defend himself. He kept trying…...
