The team’s drivers have won the Geico 500 in four of the past six races at the track, and five of the past eight races in the YellaWood 500. Last year, it was Brad Keselowski that won in the Geico 500, making it two in a row in the race for Team Penske after Ryan Blaney won in 2020.

With apologies to Bryant vs. Wright State, there’s a reason the meeting between Notre Dame (22-10) out of the ACC and Rutgers (18-13) out of the Big Ten is the headliner of the night. Not only does it have more name recognition, but also because whoever advances between the Fighting Irish and Scarlet Knights will match up against 6-seed Alabama in the first round. Half of The Sporting News’ experts picks have the Scarlet Knights upsetting the Crimson Tide in Round 1, so this showdown could be one of the first “bracket busters” of the Tournament....

Pittsburgh (8-6) started the season 1-4 and lost quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the year to injury and many figured the team to be dead in the water. Since then, the Steelers have gone 7-2 and propelled themselves all the way up to the second wild-card spot in the AFC playoff picture. Coach Mike Tomlin has done a fantastic job this season even after losing his best wide receiver and running back in Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell in the offseason....

But, aside from Ben Roethlisberger, Marcus Mariota and other players, something to watch in Sunday night’s game is the camera angle NBC will use for its broadcast. MORE: Watch Steelers vs. Titans live with fuboTV (7-day free trial) The network on Sunday night will use what it’s calling a “high sky” camera as opposed to its typical angle for live, play-by-play action.
