Georgia’s obliteration of TCU leads to lowest ratings in college football title game history

Georgia’s obliteration of TCU leads to lowest ratings in college football title game history

It appears fans did not feel like watching most of Monday’s College Football Playoff title game between Georgia and TCU, and it’s difficult to blame them. The 65-7 show of force from Georgia on its way to a second consecutive national championship drew only 17.223 million viewers for ESPN’s family of channels, according to Austin Karp of Sports Business Journal.

Fantasy football scoring takes a Sunday afternoon holiday

I like to say every batch of NFL results is weird in its own way. The chaos is the product. That’s what we as fantasy managers come to expect. We try to benefit from the entropy, if we can. We turn into the skid. And man, there were plenty of fantasy skids in the early window of Week 11. Several big-name stars put up brick performances on the eve of Thanksgiving. Start in Detroit, where Josh Allen was erratic early and finished with just 197 yards, one touchdown and a piddly seven rushing… Source link

Bold fantasy football predictions for Week 11

Bold fantasy football predictions for Week 11

Our analysts reveal their boldest fantasy predictions for Week 11. Which will come to pass? Nice day for Nico Dalton Del Don: Nico Collins saw 10 targets during his return last week while Brandin Cooks continues to fall out of favor in Houston. Davis Mills plays far better at home, and Houston gets a Washington team traveling during a short week.
