The Kansas City Chiefs will look to make it two primetime wins in a row when they battle the Indianapolis Colts on ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 2. Kansas City opened the regular season with a 31-10 thrashing of the Denver Broncos on Monday night, while Indianapolis dropped a 41-23 decision to the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday. The Colts (0-1), who finished third in the AFC South at 8-9 a year ago, have lost eight consecutive games dating back to last season. The Chiefs (1-0), who finished third in the AFC West at 6-11, are looking to reach the postseason for the 11th time in 12 years.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on betting sites on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season on a 53-39 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024. Anybody following its picks at NFL betting sites could have seen strong returns.
After 10,000 simulations of Colts vs. Chiefs, the model is going Over 46.5 points at betting apps. The Over has hit in four of the last five Indianapolis games. Indianapolis quarterback Daniel Jones will look to improve on last week’s performance, his first since returning from a torn right Achilles tendon sustained in Week 14 last year. In the loss to the Ravens, Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 166 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Running back Jonathan Taylor carried 19 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

Check in every week for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest topics in the sport, and join the conversation by tweeting us at @golf_com. This week, wepreview the Presidents Cup and look at the PGA Tour’s latest schedule news.
The Presidents Cup begins Thursday at Medinah Country Club outside of Chicago, with the Americans attempting to win their 11th straight. The U.S. holds a 13-1-1 all-time record in the event and is the favorite once again. What has to go right for the Internationals to pull off the upset? And will they?
Dylan Dethier, senior writer (@dylan_dethier): On paper it looks as lopsided as ever — perhaps even more so than usual. But this event does have a habit of getting slightly closer than you’d expect, at least until late on Sunday. It would be awesome for the Internationals to contend; their blueprint for getting there is channeling the energy of Si Woo and Tom Kim plus the unpredictable nature of match play. Look, they have plenty of good golfers too; why not Adam Scott, Min Woo Lee, Ryan Fox, Hideki Matsuyama and Co.? I dunno. I’m hoping desperately for a fun Sunday finish.
Josh Schrock, associate news editor (@Schrock_And_Awe): They need their top players — Hideki, Si Woo, Tom Kim and Adam Scott — to be a firewall and then hope that the match play variance works in their favor in singles. If their big names get beat up, they don’t have a chance.
Advertisement
Zephyr Melton, associate game-improvement editor (@zephyrmelton): They need … a miracle? Only kidding (kind of). But without the talent they lost to LIV, along with being without stalwart Jason Day, I just don’t see a path to victory for the Internationals.
Take your pick: Which players will be the respective MVPs for each squad, and which one player might we be sleeping on who has a big week at Medinah?
Dethier: The U.S. team will be anchored by Sam Burns, who doubles as the U.S. sleeper. We are, as always, sleeping on Sam Burns. Ryan Fox is your man on the International side; this is somehow his event debut, and I’d expect him to go all out.
Schrock: The internationals will be anchored by Tom Kim, and the Americans will lean on Xander Schauffele, who I feel is close to being back to top form. I think we’re sleeping on Chris Gotterup’s potential to have a big week and make everyone re-debate why he should’ve been at Bethpage.

Melton: U.S.: Wyndham Clark (with a hot putter). International: Si Woo Kim. As far as sleepers go, I could see Jacob Bridgeman and Ryan Fox having solid weeks.
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp spoke to the media last week and explained the Tour’s new eligibility rules for its Championship Series and Challenge Series for 2028. Our Dylan Dethier broke down the most important subplots here, but what bit from what Rolapp laid out was of most interest to you?
Dethier: My key takeaway is that down the line, we’re going to have a meritocratic system with a ton of promotion and relegation — but in the short-term transition phase you will see plenty of familiar names protected, at least for a year or two, thanks to grandfathered-in exemption categories. That’s hardly the worst thing in the world, but we’re not quite ripping the band-aid off of the old system here.
Schrock: Agree with Dylan. It’s interesting that several names are already in the Championship Series, which you wouldn’t expect. Max Homa being in off stacking wins in 2023 (that will be five years past when this starts) and Brian Campbell being in off a weird two-win-and-not-much-else 2025 come to mind.
Advertisement
Melton: I’m just excited for the talking to be done and hypothesizing to be done. Wake me up in a few years when this all blows over.
And what still has you scratching your head?
Dethier: I’m obsessed with these weird loopholes and details, so I’d like to see Vijay Singh take advantage of his Life Member status to play 15 events on the PGA Tour in 2027 and then trigger a Career Money List exemption for 2028, boosting him to the top tier around his 65th birthday. I’m pretty sure this could happen, under the rules. (I do not think it will, though it illustrates a path available to plenty younger and slightly less accomplished pros.)
Schrock: Very curious to see how the DP World Tour pathways get ironed out. Rolapp said he expected the pathway from the DPWT to the PGA Tour to continue, but it’s unclear what that will look like at the minute.
Advertisement
Melton: I’m a bit confused how this “meritocratic” system is kicking off with a bundle of exemptions for (some) lackluster names. I suppose there has to be some regard for winning recently, but there are some head-scratching names qualified for several seasons.
Last week, GOLF unveiled its latest ranking of the Top 100 Resorts in the World. What tops your list as the favorite golf resort you’ve ever visited?
Dethier: Bandon Dunes is still the best. But Adare Manor seems like a pretty dreamy home base to any Irish adventure, and that’ll turn plenty of heads (and book plenty of trips) around the Ryder Cup next fall. More generally, it’s almost impossible to skim through that list without getting some serious wanderlust — and firing out a group text.
Schrock: As an Oregon native, Dylan nailed it. It’s Bandon. Everyone else is playing for second. (No, I haven’t been to them all but am open for invitations.)

Melton: I haven’t visited a ton of resorts on our list, but one I did get to check out earlier this summer was Erin Hills. It’s always fun to walk the fairways where major championships have been played.
Smith-Njigba has been automatic Seattle today. Lock has targeted him on 10 of his 25 passing attempts, of which he’s caught eight for 151 yards and the three touchdowns. Lock only has 80 receiving yards outside of him, but that’s all he’s needed to put up one of the best passing lines in the NFL so far this week. The first touchdown showed Smith-Njigba exposing the gap between the cornerback and safety in zone coverage, the second showed him beating tight man coverage, and this third one shows him splitting the zone with one lethal cut again. The Cardinals inability to gameplan for the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year has cost them a chance at a game in which they were tied at halftime. Since then, the Seahawks have routed them 17-0 in the second half.

Medallists after the 10m Air Rifle Women Team Final. (PTI Photo)
NEW DELHI: India ended the opening day of medal competition at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games with two silver medals in shooting, leaving the country joint 10th in the medal standings after a day that also saw assured medals, big wins in hockey and cricket, and encouraging starts in badminton and table tennis.India’s first medals came in the women’s 10m air rifle event, with Elavenil Valarivan playing a central role in both. Valarivan, Sonam Uttam Maskar and Games debutant Vidarsa Vinod combined to win silver in the team event before Valarivan added another silver in the individual competition later in the day.The individual medal was particularly significant for the 27-year-old, who had gone without a podium finish in her previous two Asian Games appearances. Valarivan shot 252.4 in the final, finishing 0.6 points behind Japan’s Hinata Taichi, who won gold with an Asian Games record 253.0. South Korea’s Ban Hyojin took bronze with 230.4.Valarivan had led for much of the final and looked on course to challenge for gold before three loose shots towards the closing stages allowed Taichi to turn the contest around. Despite the disappointment of narrowly missing the top spot, her two silvers made her one of India’s standout performers on the opening day.
China lead, Japan close behind
China finished Day 1 at the top of the medal table, collecting 11 gold, six silver and three bronze medals for a total of 20. Hosts Japan were second with six gold, seven silver and seven bronze, also making a strong start on home soil.The Republic of Korea occupied third place with 14 medals, including four gold, while Kazakhstan and Thailand completed the top five. Kazakhstan won three gold and two bronze medals for a total of five, while Thailand’s three medals were all gold.India’s two silver medals placed the country joint 10th at the end of the opening day. The shooting haul also offered an early boost to a discipline that produced a record 22 medals for India at the Hangzhou Asian Games.Beyond the medal tally, India enjoyed several other notable results. Suchika Tariyal assured at least a bronze in the women’s Traditional MMA 60kg event after reaching the semifinals, while the women’s cricket team stormed into the final after beating Bangladesh, with Shafali Verma scoring a maiden T20I century.The hockey teams also made emphatic starts, with the women defeating Uzbekistan 19-0 and the men beating Indonesia 13-1. India’s badminton and women’s table tennis teams also began with victories, setting up further medal opportunities as the Games move into the next phase.
Former Nigeria youth international Edidiong Ezekiel has joined Lebanese club Shabab Al-Sahel Sports Club after leaving Enyimba FC.
The move, SportsRation gathered will see the Nigerian forward earn around $4700-5000, monthly.

The forward confirmed his move in a social media post, announcing the start of a new chapter in his career.
“I’m delighted to announce that I have joined Shabab Al-Sahel Sports Club,” Ezekiel wrote.
“I’m grateful for this new opportunity and excited to begin the next chapter of my career in Lebanon.

“A big thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey. I’m looking forward to working hard, giving my best and helping the team achieve its goals.
“New chapter. New challenge. Same hunger.”
Ezekiel’s move comes two days after he announced his departure from Enyimba following one season with the Aba-based club.
The former Nigeria U17 star confirmed his exit on Friday, September 18, 2026, thanking Enyimba’s supporters and Chairman Kanu Nwankwo for their support during his time at the club.

“Today I say thank you and goodbye to Enyimba FC,” he said.
Ezekiel also praised the Enyimba fans for their love and support while appreciating Kanu Nwankwo for his advice and guidance.
During his time at Enyimba, the forward made more than 30 appearances for the People’s Elephants.
Before joining Enyimba, Ezekiel played for Cofine FC, Ibom Youths FC, Dakkada FC, Akwa United and Remo Stars.

He will now begin a new challenge with Shabab Al-Sahel as he looks to make his mark in Lebanon.
Ryan Garcia is looking to take over both the welterweight division and the sport of boxing as a whole, but there is one fighter whose legacy Garcia is hoping to emulate, believing his greatness surpasses that of modern icon Floyd Mayweather.
However, whilst ‘TBE’ retired without a loss to his name, Garcia believes that Mayweather’s ‘0’ is not as important as others see it to be and that the 49-year-old protected his unbeaten streak by carefully selecting his opponents.
Advertisement
In an interview with Club Shay Shay, Garcia declared that he would prefer to be remembered like Sugar Ray Leonard rather than Mayweather, insinuating that he plans to take on the best available fighters at all times in his career.
“I would rather be [Sugar Ray] Leonard than Floyd, in my heart.
“He [Floyd] ducked in a very strategic way, he ain’t duck, but he [was like], ‘ooh, not right now… okay I will do it now.’
“He did it a little bit more intelligently, I guess, it was like, ‘I don’t want him right now, he looking a little too nice.’”
When pushed further on his words, ‘King Ry’ outlined some possible fights than Mayweather failed to deliver at certain points in his career.

“I think there were certain moments where he could have gave us the real fights at the right time. I think that he could have fought guys like Shane Mosley [earlier], but he says he was calling Shane Mosley out at the right time.
“He could even have fought Paul Williams before he got in that accident. He could have fought Pacquiao a little earlier, that’s the major one, everybody knows that one though. Oscar [De La Hoya], that wasn’t his fault but he did get Oscar a little late.”
Leonard ruled as a five-division world champion and Olympic gold medalist who defeated some of boxing’s greatest names, including Roberto Durán, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler
The second week of the season is always a big one, especially for all the teams with an 0-1 record. If there’s one thing you don’t want ever want to do in the NFL, it’s start the season at 0-2. Since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020, only eight out of 51 teams have bounced back from an 0-2 start to make the postseason. Basically, the odds are NOT in your favor.
That’s not great news for the Texans, Titans, and Falcons, all teams that are now 0-2 after losing on Sunday. Of course, we did see three teams make the playoffs last season after starting 0-2, so getting to the postseason isn’t impossible, but all of the teams above have dug themselves into a big hole that won’t be easy to get out of.
With that in mind, let’s get to the grades, starting with a Saints team that avoided an 0-2 start by stunning the Ravens in Baltimore.

(Note: The Buccaneers and Browns had a weather delay, so those grades will be available at some point after that game has concluded.)
Luke Littler’s bid to secure a clean sweep was ended after being beaten 10-4 by Jonny Clayton in the World Series of Darts Finals quarter-finals as Ross Smith was crowned the overall victor.
The 19-year-old was aiming to become the first man to win all 10 major televised tournaments in a calendar year, having triumphed in the first five, with a narrow 10-9 win over Nathan Aspinall on Saturday night sending Littler into the final eight.
A tight battle between the pair in Amsterdam saw Clayton level at 3-3 with a 136 checkout and he soon took charge of the contest, completing his victory with a checkout of 40 to set up a semi-final tie with Gerwyn Price.
Price went on to beat Clayton 11-7 and subsequently set up a showpiece meeting with Smith, who had claimed a 11-8 win over Gian van Veen in the competition’s remaining semi-final tie.
Initially little could separate Price and Smith during the final and with the score locked at 5-5, Smith suddenly took control by winning the next six straight legs and finished with an average of 103.89.

Smith’s 11-5 win over Price in the final secured a maiden World Series of Darts Finals crown for the Englishman and is the second Premier event of his career.
His path to the final saw him beat Josh Rock 10-7 in the quarter-finals earlier on Sunday to set up that meeting with Van Veen, who had recovered from trailing 8-6 to claim a 10-8 win over Dirk van Duijvenbode in the last eight.
Price had reached the semi-finals with a 10-7 triumph over James Wade, finishing with an impressive average of 103.86.
After looking like the team that won three Super Bowls this past decade, the Kansas City Chiefs look to continue that momentum when they battle the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. Kansas City opened the season with a 31-10 thrashing of the Denver Broncos on Monday night, while Indianapolis dropped a 41-23 decision to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The Colts (0-1), who have lost eight consecutive games dating back to last season, are 2-6 on the road since last September. The Chiefs (1-0), who have made the postseason in 10 of the last 11 seasons, are 6-4 on their home field since the start of 2025.

Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., where the home team won the last matchup, 23-20, in Nov. 2025. The latest Colts vs. Chiefs odds have Kansas City as a 6-point favorite, while the over/under for total points scored is 45.5. The Chiefs are at -280 on the money line (risk $280 to win $100). Indy is 8-8-2 against the spread since the start of last season, with Kansas City at 7-10-1 ATS. Before making any Colts vs. Chiefs picks, be sure to see what R.J. White has to say.
CBS Sports’ managing editor of Fantasy and gambling, White twice has cashed huge in the world’s most prestigious handicapping tournament, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest. Over the past 11 years, his Vegas contest picks are 508-424-28 (54.5 percent). White consistently crushes the NFL: He went 803-705-41 on ATS picks from 2017-25, returning more than $2,700 to $100 players as SportsLine’s No. 1 NFL expert in against the spread picks on NFL betting sites. He enters this season on a 31-19-3 roll on picks involving the Colts, returning $1,004 to $100 players. Anyone following his picks on betting sites could have seen huge returns.
White is leaning Under 46.5 combined points forover/under betting at betting apps. Both Patrick Mahomes (ACL, MCL) of the Chiefs and Daniel Jones (Achilles) of the Colts are coming back from injury and have been slowed a bit early on. Mahomes did throw two touchdown passes and ran for another score on Monday against the Broncos. He threw for a modest 184 yards.

After a 1-0 start to the season, the Minnesota Vikings headed to Soldier Field with the difficult task of slowing down a Chicago Bears offense that scored 59 points in Week 1.
While they were assisted by some rain, the Vikings more than accomplished that goal, inking a 9-3 final score into the W column. Minnesota now sits as the only 2-0 team in the NFC North with sole lead of the division, and more importantly, both of those wins came against division rivals.
Here are four takeaways following that 9-3 victory in Chicago.
1. Young Defenders Shine

Mandatory Credit: Tork Mason-Imagn Images.
After a strong showing against Green Bay last weekend, the young Vikings defenders, particularly on the defensive front, were on a mission to make life miserable for the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon.
Dallas Turner led the way with some elite play, recording a pair of sacks. This included the game-sealing sack of Tyson Bagent at the end of the fourth quarter.

Jalen Redmond can’t go unnoticed, either. He put together four tackles, was a force in the running game, and he saved the Vikings with a touchdown-saving fumble forced on D’Andre Swift at the goal line. Who knows if the Vikings actually pull this game out with that tackle.
Caleb Banks also put together a solid day with six total tackles (three solo) and a tackle for loss. After going unnoticeable in Week 1, he made a great positive step in his second NFL game.
Without Jordan Mason in the lineup because of a thumb injury that has landed him on IR, Aaron Jones was forced to become the bell cow back for the Vikings. He did an admirable job of taking on that challenge, carrying the ball 23 times for 105 yards.
A big challenge for the Vikings over the past few years has been finding a way to consistently run the football. Through two games this season, Minnesota has put up 226 rushing yards. It’s not the most impressive number in the world, but it is far better than the weeks we’ve seen in the past where they could not find a way to establish any sort of rushing attack.
On a day where weather played a factor and both defenses controlled the day throughout, you saw firsthand why a consistent running game makes a difference in winning and losing these close games.

3. Caleb Williams’ Injury Looms Large

This game cannot be talked about without mentioning the Caleb Williams injury. Yes, the Vikings spent the majority of the day keeping the dynamic quarterback in check, but late in the fourth quarter when Williams had the Bears driving, he pulled up on a run where he very well may have made it into the end zone to give the Bears the lead.
That left Tyson Bagent to try and overcome a strong Vikings defense that was firing on all cylinders, and the backup couldn’t get the job done.
As of now, it appears to be a hamstring injury for Williams, but it remains to be seen how severe that injury is. This is something that may not only impact this week’s outcome, but also games in the coming weeks as well if he were to miss any time.
4. Special Teams Wins the Day

Let’s give some credit to the Vikings on special teams. They got the job done in all aspects. Will Reichard was a perfect three-for-three on field goals, extending his streak to 23 consecutive made field goals. It’s a stretch that Vikings fans really shouldn’t take for granted.
Then, there’s the rookie Brett Thorson. He answered a strong NFL debut by being forced to punt six times, and he averaged just under 50 yards per punt, including a pair of punts that ended up inside Chicago’s 20. It comes after he put three punts inside the 20 in the season opener against Green Bay. If the Vikings continue to be led by their defense and play hard-fought, close games, Thorson’s abilities will be essential to keep opponents pinned.
Finally, Isaiah Rodgers made a massive play on special teams, blocking a field goal attempt that would have tied the game 6-6 in the second half.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria used to be in an alliance, but it fell apart earlier this year. Valkyria defeated The Role Model at SNME in July and brutally attacked her following the match. The Hugger got her revenge on Valkyria by ruining her chance to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match earlier this month on RAW.
Bayley reacts to surprising WWE title change
RAW star Bayley reacted to Stephanie Vaquer capturing the Women’s World Championship at a WWE Live Event last weekend.
Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan last weekend in Chile to become the new Women’s World Champion. La Primera celebrated with the former leader of Damage CTRL, IYO SKY, and Sol Ruca following the surprise victory. The 37-year-old took to social media to react to Vaquer’s title win and noted that it was a very special moment.
“What a feeling that was ❤️🇨🇱,” she wrote.
