After the AFC East had its time in the spotlight last week, the NFC East takes center stage this Thursday, with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the New York Giants in the Meadowlands. Neither team has had a rollicking start to the 2024-2025 season. Both stand at 1-2 and are tied for last place in the division, but a win could catapult them to second place by the end of the weekend. It could be an uphill battle for the Giants, though, which hasn’t beaten Dallas since the season finale in 2020.



The NFC South figures to be a three-way race this year, unless the Andy Dalton-led Panthers can blow it wide open between all four teams. Behind the steady hand of a veteran quarterback, the Saints and Falcons should be in the mix for the division crown all season long.

The Saints started off red hot with Derek Carr looking like an MVP candidate before losing last week to the Eagles. Kirk Cousins has been better the past two weeks for the Falcons after a rough first game in Atlanta, but the 1-2 Falcons are still looking for their first win at home this season.

The Saints and Falcons kick off in Atlanta at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Fox. Here's how you can watch, even if the game isn't available on your local Fox channel.

The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers are both proud NFL franchises. They've won more Super Bowls than anybody else over the past five decades. But they entered the 2024 season seemingly on different trajectories, and that is where the best potential drama lies in their Week 4 matchup.

The 49ers, coming off another Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, were still supposed to be the NFC favorite this year. The Patriots, after parting ways with Bill Belichick, had a rookie head coach (Jerod Mayo), a rookie quarterback (Drake Maye), and low expectations. Both teams, however, enter Sunday's game with 1-2 records.

San Francisco is dealing with injury issues on both sides of the ball, which helps explain consecutive road losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams. Running back Christian McCaffrey was placed on injured reserve before the team's season opening win over the New York Jets, and there's no indication yet when he'll return to the field. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle also missed last week's game, but they returned to practice ahead of Sunday's game. Their status bears watching.

Here's Dustin's statistical and PFF breakdown of the Arizona Wildcats:

The best day of the week is almost here!! Lots of great games tomorrow in the world of college football. I'll be watching most of the day for sure. I'll get in an early morning workout and then try to do a couple of projects in the afternoon (we'll see - that's my intent). Other than that, it's channel surfing to keep up with all the games and then off to RES at around 6:25ish.

Some questions for everyone:

1. Who's going to the game tomorrow?
2. Who's starting at QB tomorrow (Dustin - feel free to play Vegas oddsmaker here)?
3. Who's going to win the Utah-AZ game and how much do you think Utah will win by?
4. Who's going to win the Alabama-Georgia game?
5. Who do you want in the BYU-Baylor game and who do you think will win?
6. How will Kentucky's defense hold up against Ole Miss?
7. Will Texas cover the 37.5 point spread against Mississippi St.?
8. Will USC take out their loss from last week on Wisconsin?
9. What other games are on your radar?

Go Utes!! 5-0 after the AZ game!!

Winnipeg’s Team Kaitlyn Lawes are set to begin their third season as a foursome and will take on Victoria’s Taylor Reese-Hansen in the opening round of the Sweep 16.

Team Lawes have lost in the semifinals in each of the previous two PointsBet Invitational events while Team Reese-Hansen will make their debut after winning the U25 NextGen Classic earlier this season.

As a Scotties Tournament of Hearts rookie, 25-year-old Selena Sturmay led her young Alberta foursome to a playoff appearance in front of a hometown crowd at Calgary’s WinSport arena last February.

Sturmay and company return to the location of their memorable run last winter, looking for some more magic at the PointsBet Invitational.

They’ll take on Saskatoon’s Team Ashley Thevenot, who also competed at the Calgary Scotties, in the Sweep 16.

Team Thevenot were skipped by Skylar Ackerman at last year's Scotties and almost made the playoffs with a 4-4 round robin record. Ackerman announced at the end of the season she was leaving competitive curling. Thevenot, who was the vice, took over skip duties for 2024-25 and added Brittany Tran to the team.

As a 13th seed, Sturmay upset a rink led by Chelsea Carey at the inaugural Sweep 16 in 2022 before losing to Jennifer Jones in the Elite 8.

Thevenot will make her PointsBet Invitational debut in Calgary.

The winner of this matchup will take on the winner of Team Lawes vs. Team Reese-Hansen in the Elite 8.

Team Rachel Homan, the reigning Canadian and world champions, are coming off a season for the ages in 2023-24.

They finished with an incredible record of 67-7, winning seven of 10 events, including the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and World Women’s Curling Championship in Sydney, N.S.

Team Homan also captured the PointsBet Invitational in Oakville by beating Team Kerri Einarson in the final, 9-7.

The Ottawa crew will look to defend their title, starting with a matchup against Edmonton’s Team Gabby Wood, the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association champions from a season ago, in the Sweep 16.

Sweep 16 action is set for Wednesday and Thursday, with women’s draws at 1 p.m. (all times Mountain) and men’s draws at 6 p.m. both days.

That will get things whittled down to the Elite 8, which is set for Friday (women at 1 p.m., men at 8 p.m.), with the Final 4 semifinals Saturday (women at 1 p.m., men at 8 p.m.) and championship finals Sunday (women at 10 a.m., men at 3 p.m.).

On the men’s side, two-time defending PointsBet Invitational champ Team Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg, seeded No. 6, opens its quest for a three-peat Thursday night against No. 11 Team Félix Asselin of Montreal, while top-seeded Team Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., is on the ice Wednesday night against No. 16 Team Dan Sherrard (reigning Everest Canadian Club Champions) of Beaumont, Alta.

Here’s how teams qualified:

The top 10 highest-ranked women’s and men’s teams on the final 2023-24 Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS) standings.
The 2024 Alberta women’s (Team Selena Sturmay, Edmonton) and men’s (Team Aaron Sluchinski, Airdrie) champions.
The women’s (Team Allyson MacNutt, Halifax) and men’s (Team Kenan Wipf, Calgary) champions of the 2024 New Holland Canadian Under-21 Championships.
The women’s (Team Gabby Wood, Edmonton) and men’s (Team Jacob Dobson, Toronto) champions of the 2024 Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA)/Curling Canada College Championships.
The women’s (Team Serena Gray-Withers, Edmonton) and men’s (Team Josh Bryden, Regina) champions of the 2024 U SPORTS/Curling Canada Canadian University Championships.
The women’s (Team Taylor Reese-Hansen, Victoria) and men’s (Team Jordon McDonald, Winnipeg) champions of the Curling Canada Under-25 NextGen Classic earlier this month in Edmonton.
The women’s (Team Abby Burgess of Oromocto, N.B.) and men’s champions (Team Dan Sherrard of Beaumont, Alta.) at the 2023 Everest Canadian Curling Club Championships.
To claim those berths, teams needed to have three of the four players still in the lineup with whom they qualified.

If any of the six championship-event qualifying teams were already in the top 10 of the 2023-24 CTRS (as was the case with both Alberta champions), those berths were awarded to the next highest non-qualified team on the CTRS.

Seedings to set the brackets were based on the 2023-24 CTRS standings; the winners of the Under-25 NextGen Classic were automatically seeded 13th.
