    Fantasy Football Today: The toughest lineup decisions for every Week 2 game; TNF recap

    I’m not going to lie to you all; this week looks like it could be a rough one to figure out. And, coming out of that Thursday night game, that’s not exactly what you want to hear. The early weeks of the season are a time when we’re still trying to figure out what everyone’s roles are, and Week 2 has the added complication of giving us a whole bunch of injuries to worry about.  The news is even worse for those of you who started Travis Kelce or JuJu Smith-Schuster, who were pretty disappointing Thursday. It was a disappointing game for Fantasy overall given the star power of these…

No. 1 Alabama kicked a game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining to escape with a 20-19 win over unranked Texas and claim a victory over a Longhorns team that lost starting quarterback…

    College football picks, schedule: Predictions against the spread, odds for key games today in Week 0

    Most of the 131 teams playing in the FBS won’t take the field until next week, but for 17% of college football’s top division, the 2022 season begins Saturday in Week 0 with games taking place as far east as Dublin, Ireland to as far west as Honolulu, Hawaii. Since games are scattered across six time zones, there will be games to watch from early in the day into late at night. Nebraska vs. Northwestern — that aforementioned game in Ireland — is the highlight entering Saturday as the lone contest between not only Power Five opponents but conference foes. The Cornhuskers will be seeking a big first W to…
