The Raiders (2-0) pulled off the biggest upset of Week 2 on “Monday Night Football” with their 34-24 win over New Orleans in the first game inside Allegiant Stadium. Derek Carr completed passes to 11 different Raiders receivers, but none more often than tight end Darren Waller. Waller grabbed 12 receptions against the Saints, and his 18 catches on the year are the second most in the NFL. The Patriots surrendered over 150 rushing yards last week which should bode well for Josh Jacobs who found the end zone three times in Week 1....

The NFL schedule for Week 10 presents us a Thursday night matchup of AFC West teams fighting to remain in the hunt for a wild cart. This game opened as a pick ’em before the line shifted the way of the Chargers, who are favored by one point on the road. WEEK 10 NFL PICKS:Against the spread | Straight-up predictions The Raiders, coming off a key win against the Lions to remain part of the AFC playoff picture, are hoping to reverse a recent trend against their division rivals....

The Rangers and Hurricanes are battling it out tonight in the final game of their second-round series. New York earned a 5-2 win on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden to keep their season alive and force the winner-take-all contest. New York scored two goals early in the first period and after another tally to start the second, the Rangers had chased Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta out of the game....

The Ravens (2-1) were humbled 34-20 by way of Kansas City in Week 3. Lamar Jackson’s struggles against the Chiefs continued as he just passed for 97 yards. The loss dropped the reigning MVP to 0-3 against the Chiefs in his career while he is 21-1 against all other teams. Jackson currently has the longest active streak of passes without an interception (147), which could be challenged by a talented Washington secondary, led by Jimmy Moreland, Fabian Moreau and Landon Collins, that ranks fifth in passing yards allowed....

The 49ers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Seahawks entering Saturday’s wild-card matchup, but the stakes couldn’t be higher this time around, and this time, it rests on the shoulderpads of Brock Purdy. Purdy was the passer the last time the Seahawks and 49ers met, going 17-of-26 with two touchdowns in the 21-13 win over Seattle in December. That’s a perfectly fine Garoppolo-ian line for Purdy and the 49ers, who have made deep playoff runs with those kinds of QB numbers in years past....

The Steelers (9-0) maintained their unbeaten status with a convincing 36-10 victory over Cincinnati in Week 10 to end a three game streak of games decided by one possession. Chase Claypool has made a strong case this season for Offensive Rookie of the Year after scoring his eighth and ninth touchdowns of the year against the Bengals. Ben Roethlisberger has thrown 22 touchdowns in a resurgent year after missing almost all of 2019 with an elbow injury....

LIVE: Follow SN’s Masters leaderboard for score updates It’s been a whopping 19 months since Tiger Woods won his fifth green jacket in 2019 in fairytale fashion, his first major victory in 11 years. Woods isn’t expected to compete amongst the top of the leaderboard this year, but should he somehow pull off the win, it would tie him with Jack Nicklaus for the most Masters wins and would position Woods two major victories away from Nicklaus’ record of 18....

Charles Barkley’s golf swing on live television seems as good an excuse to turn on the TV the day after Thanksgiving as any.

In Game 1 of the 2019 World Series, the Nats touched up Cole for five runs. He still went seven, but it was a gritty, gutty seven innings, and not Cole-esque. Game 1 also wasn’t kind to fellow starter Max Scherzer, who lasted just five innings up and gave up two runs before turning the ball over to Washington’s bend-don’t-break bullpen. You know who might not be human? Juan Soto, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and a big double in the affair at just 20 years of age....

Cullen, who is played by Eddie Redmayne in the film, has spoken out about the patients he killed from 1988 to 2003 while working as a nurse at nine hospitals. They all suspected his actions, but never made a move to stop him. He’s currently serving 18 consecutive life sentences for the killing of 29 patients, though he has admitted to killing 40 patients and authorities suspect he was responsible for the deaths of 400 people....

Metal Gear Solid Next to Demon’s Souls, a Metal Gear Solid PlayStation 5 remake has been rumored for quite some time now - often being linked to Bluepoint Game, although it’s mostly just speculation. Like another game coming up in the list, a complete modern PS5 remake of the original Metal Gear Solid would require an exclusivity partnership between Sony and Konami, which could be difficult but certainly not impossible considering there’s been nothing substantive from the franchise since 2015’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain....

White evangelical Christians in particular are, on average, more likely to question whether human activity contributed to the Earth’s warming, with research by Pew suggesting 28 percent accept this view, compared with 64 percent of those without a religious affiliation, 56 percent of black Protestants and 41 percent of mainline Protestants. Over a third of evangelical Christians say there is “no solid evidence” that climate change is happening. Some evangelicals argue that global warming is of little concern when the end times are approaching....

The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson—shared a tearful video at the weekend, condemning the fatphobic and racist comments she received online.

What Is Do Not Disturb Mode, and Why Does It Exist? Do Not Disturb is used to silence notifications, but does so without changing a device’s volume. Only notifications are silenced.

Most also support scheduling, which turns the mode on or off at specific times (such as when you’re asleep)....

LIVE: Follow SN’s updates from Tennessee vs. Georgia The defending national champion Bulldogs will look to maintain their stranglehold on the SEC East division by holding off a surging Tennessee team experiencing its best success of the College Football Playoff era. The winner of Saturday’s game almost certainly will claim the divisional championship, though both teams’ dominance through eight games doesn’t preclude the loser from making the CFP. If the Volunteers want to take the lead in the divisional and Playoff races, they’ll have to break a five-game losing streak to the Bulldogs; the last time they won was in 2016, when a Joshua Dobbs Hail Mary gave Tennessee an improbable 34-31 victory....
