5+ hour, 13+ min ago (475+ words) The No. 16 North Carolina Tar Heels head to Lexington for a clash against the No. 18 Kentucky Wildcats. Early money has come in on UNC, shifting the spread from +8.5 to +6, and my North Carolina vs. Kentucky predictions are following the line movement. Here are my best college basketball picks for this ACC/SEC Challenge showdown on December 2. North Carolina vs Kentucky best bet: North Carolina +6 (-110) The Kentucky Wildcats are 5-2, but all of those wins have come against teams outside the Top 200 at KenPom. In their only two games against quality opponents, they lost 96-88 against Louisville and 83-66 to Michigan State. The North Carolina Tar Heels are coming off a 16-point loss to the Spartans themselves. That was their first loss of the season, with their best win coming by 13 points against Kansas at home. UNC has issues with its backcourt depth after…...

20+ hour, 43+ min ago (306+ words) Kentucky has Will Stein in place. The Wildcats reached a deal to make the Oregon offensive coordinator their next head coach on Monday night, the school announced. He will replace Mark Stoops, who was fired on Monday. "I also want to thank Coach Dan Lanning and the entire Oregon staff for their support and mentorship, they've been incredible. Now, I can't wait to get started and make Kentucky proud." Stein, a former Louisville quarterback, joined Oregon as the Ducks' offensive coordinator ahead of the 2023 campaign. This will mark his first head coaching job in college football. He held previous assistant stints at UTSA, Texas and Louisville. Though the Ducks missed out on the Big Ten championship game, they still mounted an 11-1 record and are undoubtedly in a position to earn a berth to the College Football Playoff for a second…...

20+ hour, 52+ min ago (389+ words) The offensive staff for Nevada football will look very different in 2026 after the program announced the firings of three coaches. Offensive coordinator David Gilbertson, wide receivers coach James Price and senior offensive analyst Matt Wade will not return to Nevada, per a press release by the program on Monday. "I want to thank David, James and Matt for their hard work and dedication to our program and wish them the best moving forward," Nevada football coach Jeff Choate said in a news release Monday. "Unfortunately, our offensive production this season was not up to our standard and I made the decision that change is necessary." The decision is unfortunate but necessary after the Wolf Pack's offensive performance in 2025. Nevada averaged only 17.6 points per game this season and only scored 20 or more points three times (although the 20-17 win over Sac State…...

1+ day, 16+ hour ago (308+ words) The New England Patriots and New York Giants will meet for a Monday Night Football matchup to close out Week 13, and Patriots running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson present a tough fantasy football challenge. Henderson has received a bulk of the carries out of the backfield for New England over the last few weeks, and even though Stevenson is back in the lineup, he was ineffective in last week's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. That said, are Henderson or Stevenson viable options to start in your lineup to end the week? Let's take a look. Henderson has been a pivotal piece of New England's offense recently. The Ohio State product has tallied over 60 rushing yards in each of the last three games, along with five total touchdowns. Additionally, Henderson has a very favorable matchup this week. The Giants are…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (401+ words) The LSU Tigers had a slugfest against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers this past weekend, but came out on top with a 13-10 victory. It was another great defensive night met with the offense struggling to get things going. It wasn't even the usual suspects that were to blame this time around. The offensive line held their own in pass protection, which should have been the case against the Hilltoppers. Michael Van Buren Jr. was a bit inconsistent through the air and then had some big-time receivers like Trey'Dez Green, Zavion Thomas and Barion Brown all drop passes. Pro Football Focus grades everyone on a 0 to 100 scale after every game, and this week, some unlikely names ended up at the top. It goes to show just why the team scored just 13 points, as no one received a score of even 70. Here are…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (279+ words) Kentucky basketball head coach Mark Pope made it clear this week: Behind the scenes of every practice, every high-pressure moment, and every difficult stretch of the season, his wife, Lee Anne, is playing a vital role in keeping both him and the program grounded. Following Friday's blowout win over Loyola Maryland, Pope spoke openly about how much basketball talk happens at home and how deeply Lee Anne invests in the players as people. "We talk a lot of hoops at the house," said Pope. "Talk about the guys. Talk about them as individuals. Lee was at practice yesterday (Thursday), and I tell you, it's such a gift. I can't tell you how much it matters, especially when I'm in a space like this where I'm just gonna have to be hard driving." Pope went on to describe a moment that…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (285+ words) For a few weeks, the New England Patriots' running back situation was easier to figure out. Rhamondre Stevenson was out injured, and the rookie TreVeyon Henderson took over the majority of the RB depth chart. That changes now, though. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported this on Saturday night: "Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a toe injury, is expected to play vs. the Bengals, per source." For New England, that's good news. For fantasy managers, not so much. Early in the year, Stevenson got more carries than Henderson. But given how Henderson has been playing, he's made the case for at least a 50-50 split. Will New England actually do that, though? Or will the Pats just revert to their early-season plan? It's hard to know what to expect, and it's very true that even a 50-50 split…...
