    What to Know

    The Kansas City Chiefs will head out on the road to face off against the New York Jets at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Chiefs are looking to tack on another W to their 5-game streak on the road.

    Last Sunday, the Chiefs humbled the Bears with a 41-10 smackdown. With that victory, Kansas City brought their scoring average up to 26 points per game.

    Patrick Mahomes did his thing and threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes. Mahomes wound up with a passer rating of 127.3.

    Meanwhile, the Jets were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Sunday as they fell 15-10 to the Patriots.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Jets had trouble moving the ball and finished the game with only 171 total yards. They were dismantled by their opponents in that department as the Patriots gained 358.

    Kansas City’s victory bumped their season record to 2-1 while New York’s loss dropped theirs to 1-2.

    Looking ahead, the Chiefs are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by ten points. This contest will be their third straight as the favorites (a stretch that saw them go 2-1 against the spread).

    Here’s a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Sunday’ matchup: The Chiefs haven’t faced much difficulty moving down the field this season, having averaged 390.3 total yards per game. It’s a different story for the Jets, though, as they’ve been averaging only 225 per game. Given the Chiefs’ sizeable advantage in that area, the Jets will need to limit their effectiveness. Come back here after the game…

  • Jared Goff praises Lions fans for taking over Lambeau Field

    Jared Goff praises Lions fans for taking over Lambeau Field

    Thousands of Lions fans packed Lambeau Field on Thursday night to see their team beat the Packers, and afterward quarterback Jared Goff said it was a real road-field advantage.

    Goff praised Lions fans for making noise and sticking around late in the win, cheering them as they walked off the field as Packers fans hit the exits.

    “They’re the best. They’re the best,” Goff said of Lions fans. “They showed out tonight, like they did the Sunday night game last year. That’s a feeling unlike any other, when you’re walking off the field and they’re cheering like that, on the road. Especially when you think about from where we’ve come. It’s a pretty good feeling, and we’ve got to keep winning for them.”

    The 3-1 Lions, who also had a loud contingent of fans on the road in their win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Week One, have given their fans more reason for optimism than fans of the franchise have had in decades. They’re the clear favorites to win the NFC North and give Detroit its first home playoff game since 1994. That would be a great gift to a fan base that has stuck by its team through some awfully tough times.

  • NFL Week 4 picks: Patriots stun Cowboys with upset in Dallas, Bills beat high-flying Dolphins in thriller

    NFL Week 4 picks: Patriots stun Cowboys with upset in Dallas, Bills beat high-flying Dolphins in thriller

    I’m not saying the NFL should cancel Week 4, but the NFL might want to think about canceling Week 4 because there’s no way it’s going to top the craziness of Week 3. Actually, you don’t even have to cancel it. Roger Goodell just needs to postpone Week 4 for about a month so that we can all try and process everything that happened in Week 3. 

    I mean, I thought for sure that an NFL team scoring 70 points would be the biggest story of the day, but then Taylor Swift showed up at the Chiefs game, and I’d like to tell you what happened next, but I have no idea, because the internet broke. 

    I have no idea what’s going on with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, but I can tell you right now, this is going to end in one of two ways: Either they’re going to get married or Kelce is going to end up as the main subject in Taylor’s next album. There’s no in-between. 

    I would love to keep talking about Taylor, but as it turns out, Goodell did not postpone Week 4, so we need to get to the picks. 

    Actually, before we get to the picks, here’s a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here, but you were probably already well aware of that since I mention it every week.

    One thing that I don’t mention every week is that I also write an NFL newsletter for CBS Sports and if you want so subscribe to it, you just need to go here and enter your email. If you sign up, you’ll be getting an email to your inbox every week day that’s full of football news and maybe cat pictures. 

    Alright, I’m going to stop begging you to sign up for things so that we can get to the picks.

  • College Football Playoff expected to keep format for expanded 12-team bracket despite conference realignment

    College Football Playoff expected to keep format for expanded 12-team bracket despite conference realignment

    Despite the rash of conference realignment this offseason, it is expected that agreed-upon 12-team College Football Playoff format will maintain its structure at least for the 2024 season, sources told CBS Sports.

    The main reason: It would take an unanimous vote of the CFP Management Committee — 10 commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director — to make any change to the 12-team format at this point, sources confirmed.

    The 12-team structure in place for 2024 will include see the six highest-ranked conference champions populate the field as automatic qualifiers with six other at-large teams receiving playoff bids.

    With the sport in a state of flux and it up in the air how many FBS conferences will even exist once next season rolls around, it would be almost impossible to find consensus on the subject of which conferences deserve AQ status.

    The original idea behind guaranteeing spots to the six highest-ranked conference champions was that, most years, not only would the Power Five league champions have access to the playoff but so would at least one champion from a Group of Five conference.

    Maintaining the 6+6 structure for 2024 would put off speculation that the number of automatic qualifiers will decrease with the expected loss of the Pac-12. The two other structures that have been informally suggested are 5+7 with five AQs (accounting for the expiration of the Pac-12) and the 12 highest-rated teams — regardless of conference championship status — earning CFP bids.

    The committee will gather for a regularly scheduled two-day meeting beginning Tuesday in Chicago. Even if alternate models are proposed at the meeting, it will only take one dissenting vote to keep the agreed-upon structure in place.

  • Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense are an NFL cheat code

    Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense are an NFL cheat code

    Photograph: Nathan Ray Seebeck/USA Today Sports

    The Miami Dolphins broke out the cheat code on Sunday. Before half-time.

    Some NBA teams struggle to score 70 points in a game. But here we are in the NFL, and Mike McDaniel’s state-of-the-art offensive machine were putting up 35 before the third quarter arrived, then kept cranking out video game numbers in a surreal 70-20 scorching of the Denver Broncos.

    Sean Payton’s new team didn’t stand a chance. Poor Russell Wilson – who wasn’t terrible on Sunday and put up 300 yards for the second week in succession – couldn’t compete when matched up against Tua Tagovailoa, who doesn’t have to worry about how to fall when the Dolphins play like this.

    Miami’s entire offense was brilliant, totaling 726 offensive yards while collecting 30 first downs, going a perfect 6-for-6 in the red zone and reminding Payton that coaching in the NFL isn’t as easy as it appears from the safety of a TV studio.

    It’s easy to forget how impressive Tagovailoa was before concussions, hard hits and stiffened hands began to define his career. Here was a reminder. Tagovailoa was the definition of quarterback efficiency in a victory that defined lopsided: 23-of-26 passing for 309 yards, four touchdowns and a 155.8 rating. He was also calm, sleek, cool and everything Miami were hoping for when they stood behind a fourth-year QB that some teams already would have moved on from.

    Tyreek Hill was again almost unguardable with nine catches for 157 yards and a touchdown. Then there was running back Raheem Mostert, who totalled 142 offensive yards and four TDs. And rookie running back De’Von Achane, who galloped for 203 yards on just 18 carries – that’s a ridiculous 11.3 average if you’re counting at home – and also added two scores. It wasn’t just the starters enjoying themselves: backup QB Mike White – who the Jets may now wish they had hung on to – was also perfect (2-of-2 for 67 yards and a TD) on a day when everything went…

  • West Lafayette trending in right direction with big game upcoming

    West Lafayette trending in right direction with big game upcoming

    OXFORD − There were obvious concerns prior to what transpired Saturday evening at Mallory Field.

    West Lafayette football players had been out late the night before watching Purdue’s home game against Wisconsin.

    An undefeated Tippecanoe Valley team is visiting the Red Devils on Friday in a Class 3A top-10 showdown.

    It would’ve been easy to overlook a one-win Benton Central team on Friday night.

    Instead, the Red Devils scored on six straight possessions and led 42-0 by halftime and Class 3A No. 4 West Lafayette cruised to a 49-14 victory.

    “We had more energy pregame and leading up to the game and even at halftime than we’ve had maybe all season,” West Lafayette coach Shane Fry said. “I hope that’s trending in the right direction. The guys played hard and with a lot of energy and a lot of focus.”

    West Lafayette Red Devils Cooper Kitchel (14) catches a pass during the IHSAA football game against the Benton Central Bison, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, at Benton Central High School in Oxford, Ind.

    Speaking of trending in the right direction, let’s talk about West Lafayette’s offense.

    Some had written the Red Devils off after it took until the fourth quarter in the season opener to find the end zone, a 42-6 loss to Harrison.

    A week later, the offense got off to another slow start against McCutcheon.

    But now, four straight games scoring at least 37 points.

    “Week 1 we had a ton of new guys getting their first start, including me,” quarterback Carson Kitchel said. “It was a little shaky at first and we had to push through that. Each week, we’re gaining confidence and we’re getting more comfortable with each other and I feel like our connections are very good now.”

    Kitchel’s first half numbers on Saturday night read like this: 18-for-22, 222 yards, four touchdowns to three…
