Just when your heart started to develop a sense of emptiness as the confetti fell on Mahomes beautiful head of curls, you reminded yourself that the XFL was only a week out, and yes football would continue.
The opening weekend of games brings us 4 matchups on 3 different television networks giving fans opportunities to check out Vince McMahon's newly refined product. For the gambling fanatic, more action is never bad. For the fantasy fanatic, another league to dive into and search for diamonds in the rough.
DraftKings seems to agree and is offering a XFL $350K Kickoff Special with 100k going to first place.
We will attack soccer and hoops as always, play smart. There will be plenty of action. I'll list a few parlays over the weekend too.

How Scott Boras just added another wrinkle to Astros' roster options
Nov 6, 2024, 4:32 pm
Third baseman Alex Bregman had surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow.
Health
Agent Scott Boras revealed the operation during a news conference Wednesday at the general managers meetings.
“He’s had his procedure. He’s going to be back swinging here in a few weeks, so he’s all through that process,” Boras said.
The Houston Astros, Bregman's former team, said any details had to come from Boras.
Bregman became a free agent last Thursday, after the expiration of a $100 million, five-year deal agreed to in March 2019 that covered 2020-24. The 30-year-old hit .260 with 26 homers and 75 RBIs and has a .272 career average with 191 homers and 663 RBIs in nine big league seasons, all with the Astros.
Position versatility
Boras said Bregman is willing to move to second base. The two-time All-Star has played third exclusively since 2020.
With Bregman willing to play second base, more teams could have interest in his services.
