Last Saturday morning, most American sportsbooks were reporting an avalanche of betting tickets on LSU as a 3-point road favorite at Ole Miss in Lane Kiffin’s highly anticipated return to Oxford.

Naturally, Ole Miss won the game outright.

Fast-forward to this week and the pendulum has furiously swung toward the Rebels. They are now the public darling, armed with a No. 4 ranking in the AP Top 25 and the newest Heisman favorite, quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.

Ole Miss is a 3.5-point underdog Saturday at Florida.

And the public loves the idea of getting points.

“The greatest spot this week would be Florida,” former Las Vegas bookmaker Ed Salmons told me. “The line is telling you who’s going to cover this game. Ole Miss just won the game of all games against LSU. It’s not easy for these college kids to bottle that energy and run it back the next week.

“The one thing I’ve learned over the years, these games where the lower ranked team in the polls is favored, the favorite does pretty well.”

Florida is much improved, considering multiple oddsmakers have increased its power rating by a touchdown or more after three games.

“These kids at Ole Miss have no idea what they’re stepping into against this new Florida team,” Salmons said. “The Gators won pretty easily at Auburn and they had 16 penalties, which the coach absolutely ripped them for.

“I don’t think any team has improved as much as Florida.”

Not great for my Gators Under 7.5 wins ticket.

“Ole Miss waited nine months to play LSU,” professional bettor Vegas Rick told me. “That was the Super Bowl of Super Bowls. If Ole Miss wins this game in The Swamp, they’re a phenomenal football team.”

Elsewhere, undefeated Penn State opened as a 10-point home favorite against Wisconsin, but early sharp support showed for the Badgers at +10.

“The wise guys bet against Penn State all the time,” Salmons cracked. “The pace in this game should be so slow. I watched Penn State’s first series last weekend against Buffalo and Penn State kicked a 50-yard field goal on 4th and 2. Against Buffalo. I changed the channel right away.”

“You don’t lay 10 in this spot,” Vegas Rick said. 

“Laying that many points with Matt Campbell is never fun,” professional bettor Slice added. “It’s a no-fly zone for me.”

Slice is an aggressive oddsmaker who adjusts his numbers more rapidly than most guys I know. He leans into injuries and his own opinions a ton.

“I moved Miami down,” he said. “Miami just hasn’t impressed me. I’m not sold on them. Now their top two cornerbacks are hurt. And Stanford getting beat down by Duke didn’t help either.”

“I make Notre Dame -7 at home against Miami,” Salmons said.

As for quarterback watch this week, the two biggest names on my injury list are Hawaii’s Micah Alejado and Navy’s Braxton Woodson. Both players are listed as questionable, and they’re both important to the betting line.  

Closing college thoughts, Ed?

“I think Georgia is as good as anyone.”

To the NFL, here come the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes looks like himself after a quick recovery from his torn left ACL and LCL and the Chiefs are back on top in the AFC West. All summer on “Bear Bets,” we discussed the 16 and 18-to-1 prices on Kansas City to win the Super Bowl being insanely high given their past and potential.

And now those prices are long, long gone.

“The Chiefs certainly look much improved from where they were last season,” Caesars Sportsbook head of football Joey Feazel said. “Kenneth Walker has already made a significant impact on the offense and his presence has helped Travis Kelce look like his former self.

“It’s still early but based on what we have seen over the past two weeks from their offense, the Chiefs look like they‘re back in business.”

Cristiano Ronaldo weighed ending his Portugal career after the World Cup and acknowledged Wednesday some critics at home want him out of the team.

The 41-year-old Ronaldo was confirmed by coach Jorge Jesus as a starter for this 234th Portugal game — on Thursday against Wales in the Nations League.

Asked at a pre-game news conference if he thought of stopping his international career in July, after Portugal’s round-of-16 loss to Spain, Ronaldo said: “Yes, I did. Of course, I’m always thinking on my decisions, my future, the present also.”

“I had a conversation with our president, with our coach,” he said of Jesus, whose previous job was leading Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr to the Saudi league title in May. “I still believe that I’m able to help the national team to reach what they want, and will finish when I feel like I’m not doing anything here.”

Ronaldo, who captained Portugal to the previous Nations League title in 2025, is closing in on 1,000 career goals.

“One thousand goals, yes, and the national team. Winning the Nations League, the competition starts tomorrow,” Ronaldo said. “This is a new young generation,” he said. “But for me the basic point is to be able on the pitch to score the goals and to help the team win games.”

The superstar player is not universally still admired in his home country.

“I feel the Portuguese fans like me, but I do understand that some TV channels want to criticize me,” he said. “They are dying for me not to come to the national team anymore, but I can still move away from it.

“Anyway, I am used to it. For over 20 years I have been doing this, but my memories are with people who love me. I know why young kids love Cristiano, because they see me as an example, and I will continue to do that. Even when I am retired … in 10 years,” Ronaldo said, smiling.

Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season didn’t feature as much scoring as Week 1, but there were still several quarterbacks who impressed, at least in Tom Brady’s eyes. 

In the most recent edition of Tom Brady’s power rankings, the GOAT pinpointed a handful of quarterbacks who have starred through the first two weeks. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was among them, with Brady saying that he’s playing “very dangerous football” following his five-touchdown performance. 

But was Allen’s performance enough to help the Bills unseat the Seattle Seahawks at No. 1 in his power rankings? Here’s a closer look at Brady’s top 10. 

Record: 1-1

Previous ranking: 9 ↓

Brady’s thoughts: I know they sneak in at 1-1, but look, it was a short week in Buffalo. That’s pretty tough. Buffalo was opening up a new stadium. That’s as hard as it gets. Bills Mafia was out in full force.

Jared Goff, give him his love. He’s playing lights out. He’s got six touchdowns and no picks in his first two games. I kind of like their prospects here as the season goes on.

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: Unranked

Brady’s thoughts: Listen, it’s not hometown bias by me. Their plus-26 point differential is third in the league. Kirk Cousins has six touchdowns in two games. C’mon, that’s pretty impressive. They go on the road and beat the Chargers. 

Look, undefeated is undefeated. What’s that saying? Just win, baby.

–>

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: Unranked

Brady’s thoughts: They’re 2-0 in the division with their backup quarterback. What? No Kyler Murray. No J.J. McCarthy. Give Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores a lot of credit. It’s a great coaching job. They held Chicago to three points. Yeah, the weather was a little nasty. But three points for Chicago a week after the Bears put up 59? Interesting.

I think Kevin has amazing IQ, EQ and charisma. I think if you stack all three together, and he’s a great leader of men. So, he’s given his team a scheme advantage, getting them hyped up and ready to play every single game and he’s got an amazing intelligence about what he does. He knows how to read his guys and what they need to hear. He’s always going to put those guys in a position to win.

Record: 1-1

Previous ranking: Unranked

Brady’s thoughts: The Australia trip — that’s in the past. That’s way behind them. It’s been overtalked about, overplayed — all of it. They took care of business back at home. Look, they had no Myles Garret, no Puka Nacua and they limited Aaron Donald [against the New York Giants]. 

This team is more than big names. Davante Adams went off for 195 yards and two tuddies. That’s exactly what they needed to get back on track. 

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 10 ↑

Brady’s thoughts: I’m very impressed with this start as well from Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. A lot of complementary football — that’s what I’m seeing from Cincy. How about that defense? That’s music to the Bengals fans’ ears. We haven’t talked about that in a few years. They have eight sacks and four takeaways just to start the season in these first two weeks. That’s winning football.

Two catches in Week 1 for Ja’Marr [Chase], but two touchdowns in Week 2 — possibly the catch of the year with that toe-tap on the sideline. 

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 6 ↑

Brady’s thoughts: Week 1 was kind of funny and some teams are winning big, but the Eagles are winning close ones. That’s nothing new to Eagles fans. It’s not a bad thing to have a close road test under your belt in September in very hot, humid conditions. They showed a lot of toughness, and that’s not easy to do for a team from the Northeast. 

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 7 ↑

Brady’s thoughts: Through two games, these four teams have kind of set themselves apart. [Patrick] Mahomes’ rust is completely non-existent. He looked invincible the other night. A vintage overtime performance at Arrowhead with almost 400 yards passing and Travis Kelce going off. Kenneth Walker, he’s been an absolute menace for these defenses.

However, I will say their defense needs to find a way to pressure the QB. I’ve got an idea, though: Steve Spagnuolo, that guy calling the plays on defense, he’s the right guy to figure it out. 

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 5 ↑

Brady’s thoughts: The Bills got out to a fast start in their new stadium, which I’m really looking forward to seeing. And Detroit, they were literally playing catch-up the entire night. Tough to go on the road against a team like that; that’s really hot. The Bills’ offense had 36 points against Houston and 41 against Dan Campbell and the Lions. 

No turnovers across the board from Josh Allen in two games. Very impressive. I’m very impressed with Josh’s ability to eliminate the negative plays. I think early in his career, he was always trying to make a big play. He was a little bit inaccurate in the passing game. He’s really settled down and become an accurate passer. He knows when to take his chances. He’s playing very dangerous football. That’s going to be a tough team to beat.

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 3 ↑

Brady’s thoughts: They get home from Australia and that travel didn’t bother them. They dominated the Dolphins. They have a plus-42 point differential this year. That’s almost double the next best in the NFL. Their offense is averaging eight [yards] per play and had no turnovers on Sunday. 

Are you seeing a trend here? Brock Purdy, how about this guy? He’s just always making the right decisions with his pre-snap reads. I always feel like he’s in total control. He’s very poised. I like the way Purdy’s playing.

This Niners team — watch out. No one thought about them.

Record: 2-0

Previous ranking: 1

Brady’s thoughts: In order to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. Seattle is 2-0, winning in all three phases of the game: offense, defense and special teams. Great complementary football. 

And who can forget about JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba)? He’s got four tuddies in two games. 

Sam Darnold goes out a few plays into the season and in comes Drew Lock, who is completing 73% of his passes. And even more impressive, I talk about negative plays a lot, he’s had zero interceptions. That’s hard to do. 

They had 162 yards last week — a true running back by committee. They might miss Kenneth Walker a little bit, but you can’t keep everybody. They seem to have picked the right guys so far.

Arch Manning, the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft, visits his uncle’s old stomping grounds as No. 1 Texas takes on No. 14 Tennessee in Knoxville. No. 20 Oregon also takes on No. 12 USC in a massive Big Ten showdown. 

That’s just two of the six top 25 matchups this weekend, but beyond these massive showdowns, there are several games flying under the radar and could offer intriguing betting opportunities.

Here are five of the best sleeper games to watch and wager on in Week 4 of college football.

Spread: Mississippi State -6.5

The Outlook: Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor continues to fuel his Heisman campaign after last week’s win at South Carolina. Despite trailing by 16 points in the second quarter, Taylor and the Bulldogs outscored the Gamecocks 41-7 from that point until the early fourth quarter.

On the other sideline, Missouri has done nothing but outscore its opponents, 119-52, averaging nearly 40 points per game while allowing just 17.3. However, Mizzou found itself down 10-0 early against Troy last weekend, but a 24-point second quarter propelled the Tigers to a 27-17 win. Quarterback Austin Simmons threw for just 91 yards and a touchdown in the victory, but he’s still third in the SEC in passing touchdowns (8) and has proved he can win a game through the air.

Playoff Implication: If you haven’t heard about Taylor or Mississippi State yet, you will soon enough. The Bulldogs made their first appearance in the top 25 after last week’s win over South Carolina and moved to 3-0. Missouri, meanwhile, has steadily climbed from its preseason No. 25 ranking. 

Both teams enter this SEC showdown 3-0, but if they want to stay undefeated and continue climbing the SEC standings, they’ll have a gauntlet of ranked conference foes to navigate.

The Bulldogs begin a stretch in which four of their next five opponents are ranked. Same deal for the Tigers, who have four consecutive ranked teams on the schedule, starting with the Bulldogs.

Spread: UCLA -1.5

The Outlook: UCLA has the fifth-best rushing attack in the country, and running back Wayne Knight is leading the way. Knight has 345 yards and eight touchdowns, ranking eighth and first, respectively, in the country. In the Bruins’ win over Purdue, Knight ran for 177 yards and two touchdowns, the second-most rushing yards of his career.

Meanwhile, a career day for Maryland quarterback Malik Washington still wasn’t enough to lead the Terrapins to a win against Virginia Tech last week. Washington passed for 359 yards, the second-most in his career. The Terrapins now start conference play at 2-1, looking to avoid dropping to 2-2.

Playoff Implication: Not many people have UCLA on their radar, but the Bruins are 3-0 for the first time since 2023 and already 1-0 in conference play. If they can pull off a win in College Park, improving to 2-0 in the Big Ten, the Bruins could quickly start getting more attention around the country.

A long shot could be an understatement for Maryland’s hopes of competing in the Big Ten, but they can play spoiler for this UCLA team.

Spread: Louisville -12.5

The Outlook: No. 16 Louisville was the last team standing in its high-scoring affair against No. 22 SMU, 41-31. Running back Keyjuan Brown’s 53-yard scamper gave the Cardinals the lead, and they never gave it back. Even after its Week 1 loss against Ole Miss, Louisville sits near the top of the ACC with its win over SMU.

Wake Forest gave Miami its best shot, but it still wasn’t enough for the win as the Demon Deacons fell 33-20. Wake Forest held the Hurricanes’ offense to just seven points in the second half. If they can keep that offense out of the end zone, they should have no trouble with Louisville’s.

Playoff Implication: If anybody wants to help Miami represent the ACC in the CFP, Louisville has one of the best chances to do so. The Cardinals are averaging 46 points per game, but they’re also giving up 28.3, both third-most in the ACC.

Spread: West Virginia -1.5

The Outlook: West Virginia is coming off a huge rivalry win over No. 25 Virginia, 38-27, and is 3-0 for the first time since 2018. Mountaineers quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. and running back Cam Cook combined for 246 rushing yards. Along with his 123 rushing yards and three touchdowns, Hawkins Jr. had 190 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Oklahoma State followed up its stunning upset over Oregon with a throttling of Murray State, 59-0. Quarterback Drew Mestmaker threw for 324 yards and five touchdowns in the rout. The Cowboys racked up 662 yards of offense while holding the Racers to 160 total yards.

Playoff Implication: Oklahoma State already shocked the world once with its upset win over No. 6 Oregon at the time. If it wants to continue to put the nation and the Big 12 on notice, it needs to keep the train rolling, but this West Virginia team is no slouch. Hawkins Jr. and Cook are in the top five in the Big 12 in rushing and could cause major problems for this Cowboys defense.

Spread: Boise State -7

The Outlook: Boise State’s Dylan Riley ran for 198 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns to lift the Broncos past South Dakota, 38-24. After that performance, Riley ranks third in the country in rushing yards, giving Boise State another workhorse in the backfield.

Western Michigan looked poised to pull off one of the biggest upsets ever in Week 1 against Michigan. Instead, the Broncos had what could have been an all-time victory and moment in college football taken away. Western Michigan didn’t let that derail its season, though, and bounced back with two straight wins. However, much like Boise State, these Broncos needed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to secure a Week 3 win over Rice.

Playoff Implication: In this battle of the Broncos, everything is on the line for both teams. This could be an elimination game for these programs’ hopes of representing the Group of 6 in the College Football Playoff.

For Western Michigan, the defense has been its identity so far this season. Michigan needed a last-second Hail Mary to score 13 points against the Broncos. For Boise State, its punishing ground game has been the driving force behind its offense and 2-1 start. One of these strengths will have to give in this game. Which will it be?

With quarterback Jaxson Dart sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh made it clear that the team is looking for help. 

Harbaugh told reporters that “all options” remain open at quarterback, including acquiring a starting quarterback via trade, as the team will roll with Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. 

“We will,” Harbaugh added when asked if the team will add another quarterback. “We plan on doing that, absolutely. Can’t say who at this point. We’re working on that.”

Winston brings plenty of veteran experience to the quarterback room and can offer stability following the loss of a promising young signal caller. On the flip side, Winston also hasn’t held down a full-time starting job since 2019 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jake Haener is the only other quarterback the Giants have roster control over, but he’s on the team’s practice squad.

It remains to be seen how Harbaugh will handle the quarterback situation with Dart sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. However, Harbaugh also didn’t rule out the possibility of Dart returning for a postseason run if the Giants make the playoffs.

FOX Sports reporter Ralph Vacchiano recently explored replacement options for Dart. However, he made it clear that the most straightforward path for Harbaugh and the Giants remains the most probable one: Stick internally and ride the wave with Jameis Winston.

“Like it or not, the 32-year-old Winston is the best of the terrible options facing the Giants,” Vacchiano wrote. “There is no Joe Flacco-like, plug-and-play starting quarterback sitting in free agency. Most of the backups who might be available in a trade aren’t much of an upgrade either. And the good ones who could provide some excitement will surely cost more than the Giants would be willing to give up.”

For a Giants team looking to make noise in a competitive NFC this season, losing Dart is a devastating blow. Tests confirmed he avoided ACL damage, but tears to his MCL, PCL, and meniscus mean surgery is required—with the meniscus damage posing the biggest hurdle.

It’s still unclear what specific procedure Dart will undergo, but all signs point toward a full meniscus repair rather than a simple trim. Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a comparable injury in 2024, which ultimately sidelined him for the entire season.

Speaking of McCarthy, he is certainly a name worth monitoring if Harbaugh and the Giants pursue external options. According to ESPN, general manager Joe Schoen did extensive homework on him leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft and knows the ins and outs of his game.

The report added that rival executives believe McCarthy could be acquired at a value. That valuation comes on the heels of his demotion to third on the Vikings’ depth chart, sitting behind both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz.

The loss of Dart will certainly be felt, and navigating what comes next for this offense won’t be easy. For now, the Winston era in New York kicks off Sunday when the Giants host the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium.

When Jadarian Price first stepped onto Notre Dame’s campus, he couldn’t have predicted the impact he would make in South Bend. Even in a shared backfield under head coach Marcus Freeman, Price became half of a dynamic backfield duo alongside Jeremiyah Love.

Fast forward two years, and both Price and Love heard their names called in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Love went third overall to the Arizona Cardinals, while Price closed out Day 1 at Pick 32, landing with the Seattle Seahawks.

Through two weeks of the season, Price is already making his mark in Seattle after taking over following Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker’s free agent departure for the Kansas City Chiefs. Price has rushed for 104 yards and 4.5 yards per carry, taking control of the backfield.

How’s his former coach Marcus Freeman doing? He has the Fighting Irish sitting at 3-0 and ranked No. 3 in the latest AP Poll. Even after losing Love and Price to the NFL Draft, Freeman still has this offense humming.

When Freeman and Price finally got the chance to catch up, the dynamic had shifted. This time, Freeman sat down with Price for an interview to hear about his NFL journey so far and what life has been like since leaving South Bend.

Here is Freeman’s one-on-one interview with Price:

Did Price Stiff-Arm Or Truck A Cardinals Defender?

–>

Price’s Response: “I trucked somebody. It helps to have a good offensive line and the past two games they’ve knocked guys off the ball. They’re getting past the line of scrimmage pretty good and these guys are legit, but I’m trusting my talent.”

The Biggest Different Between Seattle And South Bend?

Price’s Response: “Seattle in some ways is a lot like South Bend. It’s starting to get a little gloomy now, but that’s football weather. The program values spiritual life and all that stuff here. People have bible study here. A good majority of guys do chapel and mass the night before the game.”

Price’s Response: “I didn’t realize that he was the one who scored until after the game. He was the first person to score in the NFL because that was the first game of the season. Like that’s legit and pretty cool, man. It was good talking to him after the game.”

Price’s Response: “They’re doing great, and I think they’re getting awards every week. We do team awards and Julian Love had a pick in like every game. He’s always around the ball. Riley [Mills] has been getting tackles for loss and things like that. But yeah, they’re a great part of our team, and we did Notre Dame events with them back in the off season in the summer, all three of us.”

Price’s Response: “Montana reached out…Joe Montana. For this like a venture capital thing. So we spoke to this tech company startup. We were just talking to them about connecting football to the life of a CEO or something like that. It was pretty cool.”

Price’s Response: “Yeah. We didn’t get to do the jersey swap this time but luckily we play them [The Cardinals] twice. I think we’ll do a jersey swap next time.”

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton could return for the playoffs after a 5 1/2-month absence due to calf strains.

Stanton faced pitchers Wednesday at Double-A Somerset along with center fielder Trent Grisham, sidelined since straining his right hamstring on Sept. 4. Both ran the bases and Stanton homered while taking six or seven at-bats.

“Putting them on the outskirts of the conversation,” New York manager Aaron Boone, bothered by a cold, said in a raspy voice.

Already without injured star Aaron Judge due to a strained right calf, New York is likely to host Boston in a best-of-three Wild Card Series starting Tuesday, with all three games at Yankee Stadium.

Following the end of the seasons for Yankees farm teams, New York has minor leaguers working out at Somerset in nearby New Jersey.

Stanton hasn’t played since April 24 because of strained calf muscles in both legs after starting the season with a .256 batting average, three homers and 14 RBIs in 24 games. The 36-year-old former NL MVP had 38 homers and 100 RBIs in his first season with New York in 2018 but has missed 500 of 1,194 games since (41.9%), through the end of this regular season.

His other injuries included strains of his right biceps, right knee, left hamstring (three times), left quadriceps and both calf muscles along with right ankle inflammation, left Achilles tendinitis and tendon pain in both elbows.

“You’re looking more at a pinch-hit scenario,” Boone said. “We’ll see if that’s even a realistic option.”

Stanton is owed $25 million next year in the final guaranteed season of a $325 million, 13-year contract that includes a $10 million buyout of a 2028 club option.
