After an offseason gunshot wound, questions swirled around whether Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy would see the field again this season. On Thursday afternoon, Hardy and the Tigers got their answer. According to a report from ESPN, Hardy will make his season debut on Saturday for the Tigers against the Arkansas Razorbacks. While Hardy isn't expected to start the game, he is still in line to handle a handful of carries. […]

Are the Ohio State Buckeyes really a top-5 team without the presence of injured Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin? I asked this question in earnest on X, formerly known as Twitter, and I received a number of replies that ran the gamut, from "Likely not," to "1,000%, he holds us back." Personally, I believe the Buckeyes have earned their spot as a top-5 team going into their Week 9 road […]

It started as an inkling. A morsel of an idea. Farfetched? Perhaps. But it percolated. Quickly. Villanova men's basketball coach Kevin Willard joined his former agent, Jordan Bazant, for a drink at Campagnola on New York City's Upper West Side during last year's Big East spring meetings. As they chatted over a glass of wine, Bazant, now FOX Sports' EVP of business development and media, pitched an idea that had […]

The run-up to this year's NFL trade deadline has already brought a ton of exciting moves. But with a little less than two weeks before, we might have gotten the biggest deal we'll see this deadline season when the Chicago Bears landed All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons on Thursday. Simmons, a three-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler, is arguably one of the best players to be dealt during the season […]

For all the excitement that a youth-heavy U.S. men’s national team generated earlier this fall in the Stars and Stripes' first games since the 2026 FIFA World Cup, don’t expect the roster that coach Mauricio Pochettino drops next week ahead of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals vs. Haiti to include quite as many fresh faces. Sure, emerging teenage stars Julian Hall and Cavan Sullivan deserve to be included after helping […]

Is Kalshi legal in Texas? Yes, Kalshi is legal and available in Texas because it operates as a Designated Contract Market regulated by the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which places it outside Texas gambling law. Texas has one of the strictest gambling constitutions in the country and no legal online sportsbooks, so Kalshi has become the main way Texans can take a position on the Cowboys, the Longhorns, […]

There’s been a lot of talk this season about a high-profile quarterback’s value to the spread. For someone such as Lamar Jackson, it’s a lot — up to 6 points or so. We’re getting a sample of that value in college football Week 9 odds, with Ohio State QB Julian Sayin out vs. USC and well beyond that. And the impact is not nearly as great. "With college, it’s not […]

The marquee matchup in NFL Week 8 odds is Ravens vs. Bills — but only if Lamar Jackson returns from an ankle injury, one that has caused him to miss three games. Based on the point spread — Buffalo is a 3-point home favorite midweek — oddsmakers believe Jackson is a go for Sunday’s AFC showdown. "That’s the expectation," Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said. "We are […]

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – They descended upon Florida in droves, traveling more than 1,000 miles from Waukesha and Green Bay and Madison and Milwaukee and across the state of Wisconsin to witness what no Brewers team before had ever accomplished. They did it because they believed. They believed after seeing these Brewers win a franchise-record 103 games. They believed after watching comeback victory after comeback victory — 42 in the […]
