Mike Schopp and The Bulldog open the show comparing the Bills and the Sabres and question who has the better chance of winning it all.

What would the odds look like for the Sabres first round matchup? Who would be the easiest matchup for them?

Does Utah have a better chance at CFP than Michigan in 2026? Las Vegas Bowl Preview Expectations for Utah in Morgan Scalley's First Game

The College Football Playoff’s first round served two competitive games and two blowouts. The reaction to that: Many fans and media types are demanding a change to the CFP bracket format. Is that an overreaction to two lopsided games, or a worthy response? Let’s remember, last year’s playoff served up four first-round duds. So, at least this year provided an upgrade. That doesn’t mean this system is perfect. On today’s episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and Matt Hayes weigh in on the big CFP debate — just how badly does this format require revision? Toppmeyer says we must face reality that there’s no escaping the possibility of blowouts. He’s unwilling to pin this squarely on the Group of Five. After all, no G5 teams were involved in playoff blowouts last season. Even so, he’s open-minded to Hayes' ideas for playoff revision: Get rid of the automatic bids. Have the committee select the full field. But, first, fire athletic directors from the committee. Later in the episode, the hosts preview the quarterfinals. They examine Miami’s potential to upset Ohio State and debate whether Alabama is for real or not.

The MMQB's Albert Breer joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about the questions surrounding Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry's futures, the importance of the Browns final three games, what he's seen out of Shedeur Sanders' first four starts, and more.

For the Top 5 at 5, Fritz shares the five things that have a better chance of happening than the Phillies winning the series.

The Jets and giants face tall tasks Sunday

Introduction: After spending part of Thursday at the opening of Wild training camp, host Michael Rand has some thoughts on the complicated Kirill Kaprizov contract situation. 14:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. They disagree fundamentally on the question of whether Carson Wentz gives the Vikings a better chance to win Sunday than J.J. McCarthy would have if he was healthy. Plus questions about Kaprizov and the Lynx. 34:00: Tush push drama and the WNBA playoffs have been great.

Who is more likely to win this week, the Giants over the Cowboys or the Jets over the Bills? Will the Jets offense look anything like week 1 or was that an anomaly? If the Jets can run the ball like week 1, they will be in every game this year.

Which 2024 NFL Drafted RB has the best chance to start as a rookie? DP believes it is between Carolina Panthers' Jonathon Brooks and Miami Dolphins' Jaylen Wright. Wright shares a backfield with counterparts who battle injuries which can clear a path for him to get the starting nod at some point in the season. The Panthers do not need to rush Brooks back as he is recovering from a torn ACL late in the 2023 college football season. New York Jets RB Braelon Allen was drafted to a weird situation as his skillset is not a direct fit for the Jets' offensive system. New York Giants day 3 RB Tyrone Tracy Jr has "impact player" written all over his skillset.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Game off! We gotta talk more about MONOPOLY GO!

Everyone has the Nuggets beating the Lakers. Everyone. And why not? Denver are the defending NBA champions. They're elite. And they've won seven straight games over the Lakers. The same Los Angeles Lakers that were a bit of a basket case all year long, never caught any consistency, and built no faith with anyone. So it's a foregone conclusion, right? Maybe not! Because there are real reasons to believe that the Lakers have a chance to surprise some people. Not made up stuff that doesn't mean anything, or not super unrealistic stuff that can't possibly happen. The Lakers have a real opportunity to do a lot better than many are expecting. There are legitimate reasons to feel optimistic about LA's chances to make things happen in this series. First, the whole "seven straight wins" thing between the Nuggets and Lakers isn't meaningless, but it's also misleading. All of the games have been competitive, and five of the seven have been inside five points with four or so minutes to play. Some even closer than that. So if the Lakers can figure out how to solve those last few minutes, they're in it. Meanwhile, the Lakers are healthier than they were (in non-Jarred Vanderbilt ways) last season. They get more days off in between games. Basically, they're more likely to win playing Denver now than they do in five weeks, in a hypothetical conference final. It's ok to be optimistic, Lakers fans! This, of course, is dependent on Anthony Davis picking things up a little to match the production of Nikola Jokic. It's not that AD has been bad, it's just that he hasn't been quite as good as his averages, this season. So while nobody is picking the Lakers, they shouldn't be writing them off, either.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Reasons for Lakers fans to be optimistic about their chances against the Nuggets. SEGMENT 2: MORE reasons to be optimistic about their chances. SEGMENT 3: This, of course, if Anthony Davis can close the gap a little between him and Jokic.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play. Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.
