The No 2. Crimson Tide on Saturday will begin a bid for their 18th national championship — and sixth under coach Nick Saban — in Columbia, Mo., against Missouri. It’s a tough ask for the hosting Tigers and first-year coach Eliah Drinkwitz, who likely could not have drawn a worst first opponent in this COVID-19-affected season. He, at least publicly, has said he’s ready for the challenge the Tide will bring with them....

The Nittany Lions beat Wisconsin 16-10 to open their season in a defensive battle where Penn State managed just under 300 yards of total offense but forced three turnovers — including an interception in the red zone to end the game. They followed that up with an offensive rout of reigning MAC champions Ball State, downing the Cardinals 44-13 and totaling 493 yards, including 240 on the ground and two touchdowns....

At 6-1, the Bills are better positioned than any team to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Josh Allen admitted he didn’t play his best in Week 8, but Buffalo still coasted past Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to extend its win streak to four. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 9 The Bills will now attempt to earn their first AFC East win of the season after suffering their only loss against the Dolphins in Week 3....

Though the NFL preseason schedule is blessing fans with this rematch of last season’s divisional playoff game, it will not be the only Cowboys-Rams game of 2019, as Dallas and Los Angeles are scheduled to meet again late in the regular season. And there’s a strong chance these teams could once again play each other in the postseason, especially if our prediction for Dallas this season comes true. MORE: Watch Cowboys vs....

The Denver Nuggets have quickly turned things around and have successfully climbed back into the top eight teams in the West. The well-rested Nuggets will hit the hardwood after a four-day break. Their Monday night’s matchup at home against the Pistons got postponed due to the league’s Covid-19 protocols. The Nuggets are coming after an impressive 128-117 victory against the Utah Jazz. Nikola Jokic continues to dazzle as he registered a career-high 47 points on 17-of-26 shooting from the field....

The Dodgers and the Giants took 162 games to decide who would come who with the NL West, and on Thursday night, the Los Angeles-San Francisco feud comes to a definitive end in 2021 as the teams meet in San Fran for a winner-take-all Game 5. Los Angeles turns to Julio Urias for his second start in the NLDS, throwing five innings of one-run ball in Game 2, which the Dodgers would go on to win 9-2....

Given how the season has unfolded to this point, one of two things will be true following Kansas vs. Villanova: The Jayhawks will establish themselves as the nation’s elite team or the constant changing of the guard will continue at the AP poll’s No. 1 position. MORE: Watch Kansas vs. Villanova live with fuboTV (7-day free trial) Kansas lost on opening night in a 68-66 decision to Duke at the Champions Classic but has been perfect since....

In their first meeting, the Grizzlies put up a fight despite missing many of their players including Ja Morant, who continues to sit out due to the Grade 2 ankle sprain he suffered a week ago. Predictably, the Lakers were able to take advantage, walking away with a 108-94 win on the Grizzlies’ home court. When the teams meet once more, Memphis will have to keep their efforts up for 48 minutes to keep up with LA....

No. 18 Michigan (1-0) could be the biggest contender to Ohio State for the Big Ten East crown as Jim Haurbaugh may have the best quarterback of his six-year tenure in Ann Arbor. Joe Milton lead the Wolverines past a ranked Minnesota program in Week 1, passing for 225 yards and a touchdown on 15-of-22 passing. At 6-5, 243 pounds, the junior quarterback has one of the strongest arms in the conference as he looks to find teammates in a receiving corps that was hit hard by transfers and opt-outs....

As for Sunday’s Bluegreen Vacations 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix, the Cup Series’ second visit to the track this season and the ninth race of the 2019 playoffs, the channel that will broadcast the race is NBC. The race in Phoenix will start at 2:30 p.m. ET. The 2:30 p.m. ET start time for the race in Phoenix on Sunday is the last of four such start times for the Cup Series playoffs this season....

The third-ranked Buckeyes will play host to the Badgers in Ohio Stadium. Though the matchup has lost some of its luster with Wisconsin’s upset loss to Washington State in Week 2, it still will go a long way in determining the Big Ten East and West standings (and the Buckeyes’ College Football Playoff chances). Ohio State (3-0) is in the midst of an eight-game winning streak in this series — including three meetings in the Big Ten championship game — dating to 2011....

Cam Newton will try to jumpstart the 2-4 Patriots after being benched last week in a 33-6 loss to San Francisco. Since Newton passed for 397 yards against Seattle in Week 2, the former NFL MVP has yet to throw more than 162 yards in a game and has just one touchdown. Turnovers have been an issue for New England with Newton tossing 5 interceptions in his last two games, while the team has nine over the course of its last three....

Switzerland have not been at their best in recent weeks and slumped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Italy in their previous game. The Swiss will be intent on a third-place finish and need to prove their mettle in this fixture. Turkey, on the other hand, have endured a miserable Euro 2020 campaign and cannot afford another debacle in this match. The Turkish outfit is yet to score a goal in the competition and has plenty of work to do ahead of this game....

But then, the Horned Frogs — largely considered an afterthought ahead of this College Football Playoff — won’t simply roll over for the Bulldogs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made it to the championship game with a resounding 51-45 victory over No. 2 Michigan in their Fiesta Bowl semifinal. Conversely, top-ranked Georgia narrowly avoided defeat against No. 4 Ohio State to reach the title game in SoFi Stadium. The Bulldogs took the fourth-ranked Buckeyes’ best shot and needed a missed field goal from Noah Ruggles as the clock hit zero to advance past the Peach Bowl to the title game....

It doesn’t count toward home field advantage in the World Series anymore, but that doesn’t take away from the allure of the game. It truly pits the best of the best against one another and presents the rare opportunity to see elite matchups like NL Cy Young contender Hyun-Jin Ryu pitch to AL MVP candidate Mike Trout and NL stars Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich battle the best pitching the AL has to offer....

Live updates, highlights from Titans-Packers ‘TNF’ game The Packers are coming off an overtime thriller against the Cowboys, downing former coach Mike McCarthy in Green Bay thanks in large part to Christian Watson’s three-touchdown performance. Such an awakening for the rookie wideout could provide a boost to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense, which has sleepwalked through much of the season. But Green Bay faces a tall task in the AFC South-leading Titans....

While there was no shortage of star power in the game, Boston’s Al Horford shined the brightest, scoring 26 points in his NBA Finals debut to fuel the comeback win. For Golden State, Stephen Curry got out to a hot start with 21 points in the opening frame, but the two-time MVP scored just 13 points over the final three quarters to finish with 34 points.

There are many top publishers that could potentially pick up the FIFA license and release a game that can rival EA Sports’ future soccer titles. From industry giants, to publishers that have released soccer games in the past, FIFA has many avenues it can take; not only releasing its next line of games, but also improving on what has already released. RELATED: EA Needs To Revamp FIFA’s Training And Tactical System...

From Sam Raimi’s direction to Danny Elfman’s score to the breathtaking performances to the stunning visual effects, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been widely praised for various things. But Michael Waldron’s script has been heavily criticized for its overuse of exposition dumps and its focus on worldbuilding over plot. The emotional arcs feel like an afterthought while the setups for Marvel’s multiversal future take precedent (at least in the first and second acts before it becomes a full-blown Raimi horror movie with zombified Strange teaming up with the souls of the damned to fight the Scarlet Witch)....

Your first line of defense is knowledge. So what cyberattacks do companies regularly face? And what can you do about them? Phishing Attacks Phishing attacks seek to get a person’s password or credit card information unlawfully using email, a malicious website, or social media. This is a sort of social engineering which tricks victims into revealing sensitive details about themselves. Cybercriminals can also do this in order to spread malware onto a system—which can be a huge issue if it spreads across a whole business network....
