The NFL playoffs are upon us.

The Wild Card round already gave us some exciting games.

However, things will be even more exciting during the Divisional Round.

Notably, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal believes we will be in for a few shockers.

In the latest edition of “The Big Podcast,” the legendary big man chose all the underdogs – except for the Kansas City Chiefs – to advance in the playoffs.

That means he chose the Washington Commanders and fellow LSU alumni Jayden Daniels to get the job done on the road vs. the Detroit Lions, which would perhaps be the biggest upset in recent playoff history.

He also has the Buffalo Bills holding down the fort at home against the visiting Baltimore Ravens, who are currently one-point favorites.

Last but not least, he thinks the Los Angeles Rams will continue to play spoiler by taking down the Philadelphia Eagles on the road.

Truth be told, it’s hard to imagine all of this happening during the weekend.

Then again, it’s the NFL we’re talking about, and anything can happen in a win-or-go-home situation.

We’ve seen some seemingly unbeatable teams fall short in the playoffs in the past.

It will be interesting to revisit this on Monday and see how well – or not – the NBA legend’s predictions fared.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Of course, the Lakers will have to get past the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder, but they will also have to outdo the Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warr...

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
