4+ min ago (444+ words) Arsenal revealed that William Saliba suffered "a knock in training" which forced him to miss Sunday's lofty Premier League clash with Chelsea. The talismanic French defender started 10 of Arsenal's first 11 Premier League fixtures this season, missing just the 30 win over Nottingham Forest in September with a twisted ankle. News of Saliba's absence for the trip to Chelsea came as an almighty surprise. Much of the buildup to the high-stakes London derby had been dominated by potential returnees. Cole Palmer would be back for the Blues and Mikel Arteta teased reunions with a glut of Arsenal absentees. Viktor Gy'keres and Gabriel Jesus duly returned to the matchday squad on Sunday, but Saliba's absence will serve as a serious blow. Shortly after publishing the team news, the Gunners released a short statement explaining that the 24-year-old had picked up an unspecified injury…...

Plus, I'm looking at a player prop in the first game of the day " the Houston Rockets vs. the Utah Jazz " as there may be a Rockets guard that is undervalued." And, what's a Sunday slate without a little moneyline action? There are three teams that I'm betting on to win to win as sizable favorites on Nov. 30. Here's a complete breakdown of each of my best bets for the final day in November! The Knicks have been great at home this season, going an NBA-best 9-1 against the spread (they're…...

27+ min ago (822+ words) FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. " Arkansas tried something different in the season finale, giving freshman KJ Jackson his first career start while senior Taylen Green played in his final game inside Razorback Stadium. The plan was simple to reward both quarterbacks for strong practice weeks and trust that a shared workload might give the Razorbacks the push they needed. But the night still finished in a familiar place, as Missouri pulled away late for a 31-17 win. This was not a surprise twist in a season that started wobbling in September and sailed off the rails in October hitting the ditch in November. With Bobby Petrino coaching the Hogs for the final time as interim coach, Arkansas entered the game hoping to find clarity on offense. Jackson delivered early, showing the calm presence the staff had praised. He completed 11 of 17 passes for 126 yards and…...

49+ min ago (570+ words) The Detroit Lions' playoff hopes took another big hit this week, as multiple games throughout Thanksgiving and Black Friday had a significant impact. For starters, the Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers to drop to 7-5, then the Chicago Bears defeated the Philadelphia Eagles to improve to 9-3 on the season and build a two-game advantage over Detroit. The Lions still have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Bears and will play them again in Week 18, meaning if they can make up one game between Week 14 and Week 17 they could still be in a position to surpass them, as long as the Packers haven't taken the division lead by then. Green Bay swept the Lions for the first time in the Dan Campbell era this season, meaning they would have the tiebreaker should the two teams finish with the same record. However,…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (393+ words) CINCINNATI " The Bengals beat the Ravens on Thursday to improve to 4-8 on the season. Joe Burrow is back and so are the whispers about the star quarterback leading Cincinnati to the postseason. What do the Bengals need to go their way this week? First off, Cincinnati needs Buffalo to handle business against the Steelers. The Bengals' easiest path to the playoffs is by winning the division. They gained a game on Baltimore this week. If the Steelers lose, then the Bengals (4-8) will be two games behind the Ravens and Steelers (both 6-6) with five games to go. The Bengals' path to a wild card playoff spot may be unlikely, but it's possible. Bengals fans should be rooting for the Raiders to beat the Chargers, the Commanders to beat the Broncos and the Giants to beat the Patriots. The other part of…...

1+ hour, 39+ min ago (347+ words) The Detroit Lions suffered a tough loss on Thursday to a division rival, one that puts their playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. Detroit dropped to 7-5 with the loss, as the Packers defeated them 31-24 on Thanksgiving at Ford Field. The loss also had a cost, as wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was injured and left the game in the first quarter. In St. Brown's absence, the Lions leaned on Jameson Williams to be the top option out wide. The Alabama product didn't disappoint, coming up big with seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. He was the team's highest graded player by Pro Football Focus, with a 91.2 overall offensive grade. Williams was also complimented by the performance of Tom Kennedy. Signed to the active roster Wednesday night, Kennedy stepped up in place of Kalif Raymond who was out with an injury....

1+ hour, 44+ min ago (326+ words) PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will get Aaron Rodgers back on the field in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills despite dealing with a fractured wrist. The veteran quarterback returned as a full participant in practice this week and is set to play as the team looks to grow their lead in the AFC North. The injury isn't a small one, though. When Rodgers initially suffered the injury in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was revealed that he suffered a fracture in his wrist. He tried to practice throughout the week before the Chicago Bears game but was unable to play. Now, he's coming back, but it's been reported that the injury is worse than initially believed. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Rodgers suffered multiple fractures in his left wrist. He has at least three fractured bones, with one being…...

1+ hour, 52+ min ago (397+ words) Bryson Howard, who kickstarted what is now a three-deep 2026 Duke basketball recruiting haul when he pledged allegiance to the Blue Devils back on Oct. 21, and his Heritage High School (Texas) Coyotes have already played six games this season, ahead of schedule compared to most prep teams across the country. They sit at 5-1 overall, albeit fresh off their first loss. And the Blue Devil prize, son of one-time NBA All-Star forward Josh Howard, is soaring as an all-around talent. In his 37 appearances last season, Howard averaged 17.1 points. As things stand, he's bumped that number to 22.8 as a senior, adding 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 3.0 steals, 1.0 blocks, and only 1.3 turnovers per game as the squad's primary playmaker and bucket-getter.

In a move that is set to send shockwaves across the college football scene, the LSU Tigers are expected to land Kiffin with a record-setting deal being presented this week. Kiffin is reportedly eyeing a move to the LSU Tigers, but if he were to depart Ole Miss, the administration in Oxford would not allow him to coach in the College Football Playoff - causing a delay in the official decision, sources confirmed to Ole Miss Rebels On SI.

1+ hour, 52+ min ago (721+ words) Sunday Night Football in Week 13 of the 2025 season features Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos, who are looking to build on a 9-2 start to the season. Denver is coming out of its bye week, and it's favored on the road against the Washington Commanders, who are also off their bye but sitting at just 3-8 this season. Washington won't have Jayden Daniels (elbow) in this matchup, as he's missed time with multiple injuries this season. The Commanders are long shots to make the playoffs in the NFC, and it's not a surprise that they're underdogs in this game. Not only will Washington's offense be short-handed, but it has one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. That should bode well for Nix and the Broncos, who are looking to capture an AFC West title this season and remain in the…...
