We’re solidly into this NHL season, with some teams having even hit the 30-game mark at this point. Things have started to come together, in ways surprising (Tage Thompson) and expected (Connor McDavid). This Monday, we’ve got six games on the slate. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Cam Talbot, OTT vs. ANA ($29): Talbot’s overall numbers (2.77 GAA, .909 save percentage) aren’t good, but he’s mostly been solid and had three brutal outings, which over… Source link

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys, and their fans, have a choice. They can view their 27-23 win over the Houston Texans through rose-colored glasses, celebrating the franchise’s first string of consecutive seasons with double-digit victories since 1996. They can marvel at the clinical two-minute work Dallas demonstrated both with a defensive stand and with a resulting 98-yard, game-winning drive. “All my mind is on, totally, is that 98-yard drive to win the game,” team owner Jerry… Source link

To build a fire — but not destroy the market by doing so. That’s the goal right now. It’s not as easy as in the famous Jack London short story (“Too Build a Fire”) where in the end the survivors profit rather than freeze to death in their sleep. In the early part of this decade, we saw the rise of Robinhood (HOOD) and the distribution of investments from the serious to the ephemeral. These days, Robinhood has the appearance of one gigantic bonfire of young peoples’ money. The gamification… Source link

Patrick Mahomes can’t stop throwing wild passes. (Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports) Every week, Patrick Mahomes does the unthinkable. This time, Mahomes almost effortlessly underhand tossed a no-look pass to running back Jerick McKinnon on a third-and-2 play early in the second quarter. Mahomes scrambled out of the pocket and ran close to the first down market before he flipped the ball over a defender to McKinnon, who took the ball 56 yards to the end zone to put the Kansas City Chiefs up 14-0… Source link

undefined There was curiosity this past week over the Minnesota Vikings being underdogs Sunday at the 5-7 Detroit Lions. It brought a lot of attention to the Vikings being — let’s be polite here — maybe not quite as good as their 10-2 record coming into Week 14. It also led to discussions about analytics in football and whether that mattered at all. The nerds, and the Lions, won Sunday. Detroit beat the Vikings 34-23. There’s nothing wrong with a team that was 10-2 and will undoubtedly be… Source link
