Podcasts about Dark Horses

The 2026 NFL season is almost here, and it's time to look beyond the obvious Super Bowl favorites. Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson and Derek Brown break down five legitimate dark horse Super Bowl contenders for 2026, including the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. Which teams are truly capable of making a deep playoff run, and which long-shot bets are worth considering? The guys also dive into the latest NFL training camp news and fantasy football fallout, including the Ricky Pearsall injury, what it means for Jauan Stribling and the 49ers offense, Chris Brazzell's injury in Carolina, concerns surrounding Jeremiah Love in Arizona, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s rough camp, Micah Parsons landing on the PUP list, Baker Mayfield playing without a contract and the latest on Tank Dell. Plus, the crew looks back at some of the greatest preseason “member berries” — players who exploded onto the scene during preseason and briefly convinced everyone they were the next big thing.

Seth Woolcock and Scott Bogman break down every major ACC betting market, including conference championship futures, season win totals, dark horse contenders, and Heisman long shots. They debate whether Miami is worth the heavy price, why SMU could be the conference's biggest challenger, and which teams they're fading heading into the 2026 college football season. They also reveal their favorite win total bets, including a fade of Bill Belichick's North Carolina Tar Heels, plus a surprising sleeper that could outperform expectations.

2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Draft Kit: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/draftkitFREE PROVE Running Back Board: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/proveEvery draft season, a guy nobody is talking about ends up as the overall QB1, RB1, WR1, or TE1, and the managers who saw him coming are the ones holding the trophy. So this year I broke down the dark horses at every position with the upside to finish number one overall in 2026.Some of these names will feel obvious. A few are going to sound insane, and those are the ones you want to stick around for. For every pick I go through the metrics and the situation changes, and exactly what has to happen for them to finish as the overall number one at their position.Last year I was the loudest person in the room on Drake Maye, Chase Brown, George Pickens, and Tucker Kraft before he got hurt. All dark horses at the time, all finished near the top of their position. This list is built the same way.Follow us on Instagram (200K followers): https://www.instagram.com/upperhandfantasy/

In this episode, we begin our three-part Big 12 preview by taking a conference-wide look at the contenders, challengers and mystery teams shaping the 2026 season. Texas Tech enters as the defending champion and the clear center of attention, but does the conference’s best roster still have enough at quarterback and on defense to remain on top? We also examine why BYU feels like the safest alternative and whether Houston is ready to turn last year’s breakthrough into something even bigger. From there, we sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a crowded middle class that may be deeper than either of us expected. How much should Utah’s infrastructure matter after major changes on the sideline and along both lines of scrimmage? Can Arizona, TCU or Kansas State stay in the championship race? Are we falling too hard for Oklahoma State’s potential, and how much faith should we place in Kenny Dillingham as Arizona State faces the conference’s most difficult schedule? We also identify the players we are most interested in watching, debate several new quarterback situations and make our early Big 12 Championship Game predictions. Plus, the Monster Energy sponsorship inspires a shady monetization strategy, Willie Fritz becomes the world’s most dependable roofing contractor, and one verbal stumble launches a questionable new Cincinnati business venture.

On today's 15-minute briefing: The Pepe Mystery: Côte d'Ivoire secure a 2-0 win over Curaçao, lit up by a couple of absolute belters from Nicolas Pépé. Watching him strike them makes me wonder all over again: why on earth was he so poor during his time at Arsenal? Germany Stunned: Ecuador confirm their place in the Round of 32 with a thoroughly impressive 2-1 victory over Germany. This is exactly the kind of result that Scottish fans would have had a very keen eye on as the groups shake out. Dutch Dark Horses?: The Netherlands pick up a 3-1 win over Tunisia, featuring a lovely goal from Jan Paul van Hecke. It begs the question: are the Dutch quietly turning into genuine dark horses for this competition? Elanga's Math Blunder: A 1-1 draw sees both Japan and Sweden confirm their places in the next round. The funniest moment came from Anthony Elanga, who genuinely thought Sweden were knocked out at the whistle... spoiler alert, Anthony, they weren't! A Bump on the Nose for the USA: Turkey finally show the world what they are actually about, giving the USA a proper bump on the nose on their way out of the tournament with a 3-2 win. It's a timely reminder for Pochettino's men that they absolutely have to stay sharp if they want to go deep. Get In, Australia: A gritty 0-0 draw against Paraguay means the Aussies are officially through to the knockout stages! Well in. They've lined up a tie against Egypt next, which promises to be a cracking game. Norway's Bizarre Rotation: Norway, with qualification already secured, decided to rotate their entire starting eleven against France and got soundly beaten 4-1. I have to ask: isn't the entire point of being at a World Cup having the opportunity to flex your best lineup against one of the greatest sides on the planet? Baffling decision. Senegal Smash Iraq: Pape Gueye hit a couple of eye-catching screamers as Senegal gave themselves every chance of a best third-place berth, dismantling Iraq 5-0. I can confirm their progress was officially locked in a few hours later following the conclusion of the Group G fixtures. Cape Verde's Glamour Tie: A 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia means Cape Verde's absolute fairytale World Cup dream continues. They have lined up a massive glamour tie against Messi's Argentina in the Round of 32... and honestly, who knows? The way this tournament is going, maybe they could spring a monumental surprise. Bielsa in Meltdown: Spain navigate a tricky 1-0 match against Uruguay to top the group, a result that completely sent Marcelo Bielsa into absolute meltdown on the touchline. Belgium Finally Show Up: A comprehensive 5-1 routing of New Zealand sees the Belgians finally look like a football team, driven by an inspired, top-tier performance from Leandro Trossard. Injury Time Chaos for Iran: High, unadulterated drama between Egypt and Iran. Iran have more than likely secured their place in the Round of 32, but it was pure chaos at the death.

Neil Davidson is a sportswriter at The Globe who will be covering his seventh World Cup this tournament.
