The NFL's Week four slate is shaping up with some serious intrigue, as Sporting News puts out their picks against the spread for two marquee matchups. Kansas City looks to carve up Las Vegas while Buffalo turns up the heat on New England, and the early money says both favorites cover with room to spare.
Shifting to the hardwood, Joel Embiid showed up to Philadelphia seventy-sixers Media Day in rare form, cracking jokes about LeBron James and his own weight loss heading into his eleventh season. A loose, confident Embiid is a dangerous Embiid, and the Sixers faithful have to love the energy coming out of camp right now.
And in San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama opened up at Spurs Media Day still carrying the weight of that NBA Finals loss to the Knicks, saying it was hard to fall asleep after the series ended. That kind of burning hunger in a player that young and that gifted should terrify the rest of the Western Conference heading into the new season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
