Alabama has won the past two BCS titles and handled Auburn in the regular-season finale both seasons with ease. This year, the Tigers have bounced back in a big way from last season's 3-9 record. They're 10-1, ranked No. 4 and this Iron Bowl is being touted as the Mother of All Iron Bowls. But will that be enough for Gus Malzahn's gang to dethrone the Crimson Tide? Elsewhere, Duke has a huge opportunity in front of itself — all it needs to do is beat rival North Carolina (something that doesn't happen very often)....

Mahomes suffered the injury as he attempted a quarterback sneak during the Chiefs’ 30-6 road win in Denver against the Broncos in Week 7. The 24-year-old appeared to have his knee popped back into place while he was receiving treatment on the ground, before being helped off the field. Mahomes subsequently underwent an MRI scan which showed no sign of ligament or cartilage damage and put the recovery timetable to between three and six weeks—even though, bizarrely, some suggested Mahomes could return in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers....

Mahomes said that he thinks it’s great for the quarterback market to add new, higher-paying deals, and he wants players to continue getting paid....

That’s reality for members of the Patriots. MORE: Sports’ smartest athletes Kevin Clark and Daniel Barbarisi of the Wall Street Journal detailed the specifics of the random quizzes. One example is of Belichick asking former backup quarterback Matt Cassel a question. “Hey, we’re in the high red zone, it’s second-and-six from the 18. What’s Indianapolis’ favorite blitz?” Cassel would answer, “overloading the weak side.” Then Belichick would turn to Brady and ask “do you concur?...

The approach worked. New England won a wild-card berth in 2021 on the backs of its new players and first-round rookie quarterback Mac Jones. The Patriots lost to the Bills in embarrassing fashion in that contest, but there was a reason for optimism, as New England was seemingly building a potential AFC contender. However, the feeling surrounding the team has changed a bit during the 2022 NFL offseason. New England hasn’t made too many drastic alterations to its roster....

Commenting on the squad on Friday, national selector John Inverarity said the intention of the National Selection Panel was to rest Pattinson from the Perth Test as the young man has played in four Test matches over a period of just five weeks. “This intention has become a necessity after post-match scans have revealed James’ foot injury,” said Inverarity.

The studio had originally stated such content would never come to Payday 2, which reportedly is one of the reasons why former director David Goldfarb left the studio. After a week of silence since the Black Market came out, it’s good that Overkill Software provided some answers - even if they weren’t what fans ultimately wanted. After an overwhelming outcry of negative fan feedback since the paid stat-boosting content was announced, Overkill Software relented on the drills being a purchase-only item, and added them into the randomized, free loot drops that any player could potentially receive....
