The New York Rangers haven’t won a playoff series since 2017. If the Rangers can’t figure out how to prevent the Pittsburgh Penguins from firing pucks into their net, that dubious streak will live on for at least another year.

On the American sports betting landscape, there’s nothing that’s more 24/7/365 than the NFL. The NFL Draft, held April 28-30 right here in Las Vegas, certainly helped drum up more offseason interest.

Those hoping for a Game 7 in the first round of the postseason might just get it via the Phoenix Suns vs. New Orleans Pelicans series. Top-seeded Phoenix has a 3-2 lead, but No. 8 seed New Orleans has proved a handful throughout. And the Pelicans are only 2-point Game 6 underdogs on the NBA […]
The Philadelphia 76ers hit a bump, then drove into a pothole, and now they’re trying to make sure they don’t end up in a ditch on the side of the road. The 76ers’ 3-0 series lead against Toronto has narrowed to 3-2, and Philadelphia has to find a way to win Thursday to avoid a […]
We get it. Feb. 13 was so long ago. It’s been 2.5 months without the NFL. And we’ve got another four-plus months until the 2022 regular season kicks off. Thankfully, though, NFL Draft odds are on the board for the next three days, so we’ve got that going for us. Which is nice. Thursday night […]
