Unreal. The 3rd place, 87-win, 12th seed Phillies are well on their way to winning the World Series vs the Astros. Just 2 more wins to go. If the Phillies do end up taking the trophy, they will be the third different team in the last 4 years from the NL East to beat the Astros lol. (Nationals in 2019, Braves in 2021 being the other two). Hate seeing a 3rd place team win it all, but damn, the NL East is absolutely killing it in October in recent years.

88 win Braves team wins World Series last year. 87 win Phillies team wins it this year ? Just goes to show the regular season doesn't mean much, as long as you make it to the playoffs.
 
GA/TN game... O/U of 65 with a spread of 9, with ESPN analytics showing a 74% chance of a GA victory. Not betting on the game, but I would be taking the over and a TN cover. An O/U of 71 with a spread of 4 would be more realistic, IMO.

I agree. A lot sooner than most of all expected. I'll take it. Could very easily be 8-0 or 7-1 at the worst. Going to be very interesting to see how the coastal shakes out down the stretch.

We’re six points from 8-1. We’re one awful call from 7-2 and leading the coastal.

Duke became bowl eligible last night. Pretty incredible turnaround.

Considering how sorry most of the NC football teams are, it seems like a victory. In a division in which UNC can lead it in football tells you just how pathetic that division is. Bowl eligibility is all we can hope for in the laughing stock of college football coastal division.
 
Man, the O/U on Georgia/Tennessee made sense to me honestly. I wouldn't have taken the over if I betted, but I would get feeling like the over could hit.

Props to Vegas all around haha. They cleaned up.

The margin doesn't surprise me, but I really thought it'd be more like a 42-30ish type game.
 
The Catman, is probably a Clemson fan!
 
well, Astros have just won the world series. Phillies looked like they would be the team to win it after going up 2 games to 1 but then they forgot how to play baseball and looked like garbage the last 3 games. Happy for Dusty Baker. Now that he has a ring as player and as a manager, he can finally retire lol.
 
For the first time, last night walking out of Tiger Stadium, our group dared to utter the words, "we may be watching the beginning of the end". This group just isn't responding to the current coaches. O'Brian and Golding will be gone for sure. Then, if things don't get better, I believe the GOAT will step away. He said on his show the other night he wouldn't "ride the team into the ground". Hoping for better, but this was supposed to be a very, very good team.

I think Bama fans are overreacting.
 
Next year is going to be rough for Bama Milroe is next up & while he's good he's not the type of QB that can lead an offense into a 1 loss or less season. The recivers aren't stepping up the batch that Saban inherited from Shula was better than this group. I use to could name just about the whole starting roster on both sides of the ball & now I struggle because the playmakers are few & far between with this squad. Now we have the NIL coming into play & all the glitz & glamor they have on campus for them it's seems like these things along with coaching are taking a toll on the program. We've had a nice run & we can't stay on top forever but man I hate it for a guy as good as Bryce to not get a championship as the starter.
 
It's possible that both Clemson and Alabama's dominance is coming to an end. I can see Clemson becoming a 7-5 or 8-4 kind of team again and Bama becoming a 9-10 win team. Oklahoma may be in for multiple rough years too. With NIL and the transfer portal I think the SEC is about to become the 2nd best conference behind the Big Ten and it will not even be close unless something else happens with realignment.

NIL and the transfer portal will change everything. Bama can survive these 2 things, but many can't. I can see it going as far as having some schools dropping sports, even football, because of them. Even big name programs possibly.
