There are NFL, NBA and NHL games being held across the country, with some taking place on Thanksgiving Day itself, and most others over the weekend. There’s dozens of matchups to tune into, so to save you scrolling through the channels, Newsweek have put together a comprehensive guide. Here’s what, when and where to watch to save you time and trouble. NFL games over Thanksgiving Weekend As has been tradition for the last fifteen years, three NFL games will be held on Thanksgiving Day, broadcast live on TV....

Week 8 begins on Thursday night when the Carolina Panthers host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football in an NFC South rivalry, with the Panthers looking to snap a two-game losing streak and move to 3-4, while the Falcons seek to avoid further embarrassment following their calamitous defeat against the Detroit Lions, which marked Atlanta’s sixth loss in seven games this season. Somewhat inexplicably, the other two primetime games of the week see three NFC East teams in action, despite the fact the division’s combined record currently stands at a dismal 7-20-1....

According to Yahoo Sports, which cited a source familiar with the league’s talks, the NFL would prefer to move “quickly” in determining if the Patriots receiver should be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list after he was accused in a civil lawsuit of sexual assault and rape. Brown practiced with the Patriots on Wednesday after signing a one-year deal with New England on Monday, and coach Bill Belichick told reporters ahead of the workout that the team is taking things “one day at a time” as he diverted questions about Brown’s status for Week 2 against the Dolphins....

Every Tuesday, we scour the DK and FD player pools to pinpoint the best investments based on matchups and stat trends. By capitalizing on affordable sleepers in certain DFS roster spots, we leave ourselves the budget to greatly improve other roster spots with proven weekly studs. In order to afford an Austin Ekeler ($8,800 on DK), sometimes you have to sprinkle in the occasional Darnell Mooney ($4,700). WEEK 9 DFS: Best stacks...

Will Richardson promises there will not be a third. Appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio with co-host Bill Polian and me, Richardson publicly admitted for the first time that his two-game suspension to start the 2017 season was marijuana-related. “A lot of (NFL) coaches and scouts, they already know about it,” Richardson said last week. The punishment came two years after Richardson was arrested on a DUI charge midway through his redshirt freshman season while 19 years old....

LIVE: SN’s Draft tracker Garoppolo became a darling of scouts after the season, much of it because of a strong showing at the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl. The Eastern Illinois product won the Walter Payton Award as player of the year in the FCS. He also was the first player from an FCS program taken, and the fifth quarterback taken, 26 picks after the Raiders chose Derek Carr earlier in the round....

Now that sportsbooks in Las Vegas and the rest of Nevada have been granted permission to take prop bets for the NFL Draft, we have the specifics of on what draftnik gamblers can wager between April 27 and 29. MORE: NFL Mock Draft 2017 The sheet of initial props comes from William Hill U.S., which also made the request. Although one still can’t bet on when specific prospects will be taken or what NFL teams do in the draft — two things that could be corrupted by inside information — there are plenty props....

There might not be the same level of marquee names at the top, especially at quarterback in contrast to past drafts. But there will be plenty of intrigue for what happens in Las Vegas, given unprecedented unpredictability. The depth of talent in particular at edge rusher, wide receiver and cornerback will make many teams happy. Although it seems early to grade picks right after they go down, Sporting News’ immediate analysis and evaluation is based on three key early criteria: how good the prospect is, whether he satisfies his NFL team’s schematic needs and what kind of value he has in relation to his selection....

Last month marked the 30th anniversary of the death of Nancy Argentino, who was the girlfriend of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka at the time of her passing. The Morning Call has a great article looking at Argentino’s death here. The article noted that Argentino started attending WWE matches at Madison Square Garden with a friend who was dating WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz at the time....

This is the third Dungeon & Fighter game that Nexon announced in just as many years, following DNF Mobile and DNF Duel, the former of which has yet to release outside of Japan. Over the last 15 years, Nexon embraced a liberal licensing strategy concerning their hit action RPG series, paving the way for numerous third-party spinoffs.

Since Riot Games launched the closed beta of Valorant, the game has risen in notoriety to be favorably compared to other well established first person shooter games. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the new character who would be included in the full release of the game. An official blog post from Riot Games gave those fans a small sneak peak of the soon-to-be eleventh agent. RELATED: Valorant: Every Agent Ranked From Worst To Best...

Having long been the dominant force in French domestic football, European supremacy has eluded the capital club. The 2011 takeover of the club by Qatar Sports Investments took PSG to another level financially, paving the way for Neymar’s arrival six years later. But even with that backing and a wealth of talent on the pitch, the most sought-after prize has eluded the Parisians. Asked if that could change in 2020, when the first hurdle for Thomas Tuchel’s side is to get past Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16, Neymar told Red Bull: “Yes, I think there’s a possibility we can make it....

Le Parisiens 4/1 for historic CL win The Brazil international was on the scoresheet as PSG crushed Anderlecht 5-0 in the Champions League at Parc des Princes on Tuesday. But the 25-year-old wasted little time in turning his attentions elsewhere, and his Joker costume was impressive. Neymar showed off his costume – and those of his friends – on Instagram. Neymar and his team-mates will be back in action on Saturday with a Ligue 1 match at Angers....

Epic Games recently confirmed that the Fortnite Season 6 Battle Pass secret skin will feature Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. Additionally, the official reveal also confirmed four assorted unlockable styles for the Neymar Jr. outfit in Fortnite Season 6. However, in order to collect each and every item that the Neymar Jr. bundle in Fortnite Season 6 has to offer, players will need to complete a plethora of in-game quests....

The 25-year-old striker’s €222 million move from Camp Nou was the highlight of a remarkable summer transfer window but attracted criticism from many quarters due to the size of the fee involved. Nevertheless, Malcom, who signed for the Garonne side in January 2016 from Corinthians, believes it was a smart move on the part of the superstar. “Neymar made a good choice coming to France,” he said. “We’re happy for him....

Neymar’s former coach Muricy Ramalho believes the Brazil striker could not yet be compared to new Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi. The 57-year-old, sacked as coach of Brazilian top-flight club Santos in June, said Monday that Neymar needed to shine consistently in Europe before being compared to the four-time Ballon d’Or winner, reports Xinhua. “Messi is number one,” Ramalho said. “Neymar will improve at Barcelona, but he has a long way to go to get to where Messi is....

The Brazilian is the face that everyone wants to be associated with their brand and as such has been highly visible away from the field. While he has clearly been enjoying himself socially – his father told Canal+ on Sunday that the player “loves everything about Paris” – he has continued to excel on the field.

Still, not all fans were exactly ’thrilled’ about having their new starting quarterback. In fact, many were skeptical and rightfully so. After all, Brissett’s only true action as Indy’s starter was in 2017, where he played behind one of the worst Colts teams in the last decade. This, of course, was highlighted by the NFL’s worst offensive line, a defense that couldn’t find their way even if you gave them a map and compass, and an offense that lacked poise, consistency, and explosiveness for a good portion of that season....

More touchdowns — 104 of them — were scored this week than in any on other week in NFL history, and the 859 points were also the most compiled in NFL history. Not surprisingly 11 of 16 games went OVER the total. Well, let’s rephrase that. Maybe the surprise was that more games didn’t go OVER, given all of the scoring. Which brings us back to one of our core handicapping beliefs: it is possible to show a profit betting totals and point spreads in the long term, but it is not easy....
