It’a almost time for some more Football!

Thursday night we’re going to Denver, where the Broncos host the Seattle Seahawks.

Both teams are 3–2, but they’ve had very different starts to the season.

Denver is coming off a win against the Chargers, although things haven’t exactly gone to plan for Bo Nix and the Broncos this year. They’re averaging just 18.5 points and 280.2 yards per game, despite throwing the ball nearly 34 times a game.

Nix has been getting plenty of opportunities, but Denver’s offense hasn’t been able to do much with them. They’re averaging just 199 passing yards per game, and scoring has been a struggle. Apart from their almost divine ability to pull off second-half comebacks, there hasn’t been much to celebrate.

Seattle, meanwhile, is coming off a wild 32–29 loss to the undefeated 49ers. The Seahawks have looked much better offensively, averaging 26.2 points and 347.2 yards per game.

What’s interesting is that Sam Darnold hasn’t needed to throw nearly as much as Nix, even without Kenneth Walker. Seattle is averaging just 29.5 passing attempts per game, while getting considerably more production from their running game.

The Seahawks will be looking to bounce back after last week’s loss, while Denver has a chance to build on the win over the Chargers.

And with both quarterbacks approaching the game so differently, their passing numbers will be interesting to watch tomorrow night.

Before we head back into NFL, lets check in on Basketball.

Preseason has already given us plenty to talk about.

For starters, the Knicks are finding out that defending a championship comes with its own problems. New York got destroyed by Toronto last night, losing 148–98. Granted, Mike Brown rested his starters, but losing by 50 points is still pretty embarrassing, even in the preseason.

And speaking of Toronto, Kawhi Leonard returned to his former home and put up 21 points in just 17 minutes. Not a bad way to remind Raptors fans what they’re missing. Now, if only he could stay healthy for an entire season.

We’ve also had some interesting first looks at players in new uniforms. Jaylen Brown dropped 22 points in the first half of his preseason debut for Philadelphia, while LaMelo Ball is already getting comfortable alongside Anthony Edwards in Minnesota. Those are two situations we’ll be watching closely once the games start counting.  

Over in Dallas, Kyrie Irving is finally back after 586 days away from the court. He scored 17 points in 22 minutes against Houston on Sunday, giving Mavericks fans something to be excited about after a long injury absence.  

And then there are the rookies. Golden State’s Yaxel Lendeborg put up 23 points, 10 rebounds and six assists against Sacramento, while Utah’s Darryn Peterson scored 23 against Denver. It’s still early, but a few of these young players are already making a case for bigger roles.  

Of course, preseason basketball comes with the usual warning. Players are on limited minutes, rotations are constantly changing, and some of the biggest names are barely playing.

But we’re starting to get a better idea of how these teams might look when the regular season tips off on October 20.

And for us, that means NBA player props are almost back.

We’ll be keeping an eye on how the lines move ahead of kickoff tomorrow.
