Many baseball fans did not expect that the Astros would be four victories away from the World Series in 2020. Particularly not back when the media was buzzing around them in West Palm Beach during Spring Training in February. And yet, they are now a series win away from their third World Series appearance in four years.
Andersen Pickard previews Sunday’s divisional matchup between the banged-up Las Vegas Raiders and undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
The NBA offseason is right around the corner. For the Boston Celtics, a lot needs to be looked at. Although they reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time in the four years, a glaring need has yet to be completed.
The Carolina Panthers travel to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon to face the Atlanta Falcons in a divisional matchup. The Falcons lead the all-time series 32-18 and have won eight of the last nine games between the two teams. The Falcons, however, come into Week 5 winless after losing to Green Bay 30-16, while Carolina is 2-2 on the season following their 31-21 victory in Week 4. Atlanta is hungry for their first win of the season while the Panthers are looking to win their third game in a row this week.
While both series on the National League side ended in sweeps, the American League side has been a bit more competitive. Let’s take a look at how we got to the best-of-seven Championship Series with four teams left looking to punch their tickets to the World Series.
Off to different starts to the season through four weeks, the Los Angeles Rams travel to FedEx Field to battle the Washington Football Team this Sunday. Trying to jump-start their offense after a slow start, Washington will turn to third-year quarterback Kyle Allen after benching Dwayne Haskins.
It’s time to put that wild finish at Talladega behind us and head out to Charlotte, NC, to finish out the round of 16. Charlotte Roval is still a relative new event on the Cup Series schedule, having moved on from the 500 mile regular oval. It’s expected that there will be a capacity crowd showing up for this event due to a state-mandated requirement.
The Minnesota Vikings (1-3) are headed to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seahawks (4-0). The Vikings have failed to live up to preseason expectations thus far. In contrast, a high-powered Seahawks offense has rocketed them to a 4-0 start to their 2020 season.
Everyone was ready to count out the Miami Heat. There were debates on national TV shows about who should win finals MVP between LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Radio shows were talking about Dwight Howard getting his first ring. There was very little talk about the Heat heading into Game 5.
Thursday night’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Chicago Bears turned out to be more of a defensive struggle than a shootout between former Super Bowl MVPs. Hopefully, most of you were able to cash in on the lower than expected game as the under barely hit.
The Cincinnati Bengals (1-2-1) travel to Maryland to face off with the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) in a Week 5 AFC North Division showdown. Cincinnati is coming off a 33-25 win at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The woeful Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a divisional battle on Sunday.
