The line is moving towards Ohio State on the day of the game as the sharps come in heavy on the Buckeyes. It went from Georgia -6.5 to now Georgia -5. That’s significant line movement, especially when you consider this is virtually a home game for Georgia and that is reflected in the line. But… Read More CFP: Last Minute Thoughts
Kind of a surprise given that the Raiders aren’t officially eliminated from the playoffs yet: Not only is Carr benched, he’s basically been kicked off the team: I mean, come on, does anybody buy this? “To avoid the distractions,” the Raiders are saying. When a QB gets benched he normally sits there, on the sideline,… Read More Derek Carr Has Been Benched in Vegas — Has He Played his Last Game for the Raiders?
Ohio State has been playing football for 111 years. Georgia has been playing for 119 years. They did not face each other until 1993, and they have not faced each other one time since then.

I understand stuff like that can happen when it’s late in… Read More NFL Week 16 Tiers: Every Team Summarized in One Sentence; Refs Are Ruining the League
We know the Miami Hurricanes of the early 2000s are among some of the greatest teams in college football history.

Here we go, hot off the presses following the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football: Okay, the Eagles might really be in the Death Star tier.
